I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. Every can engine I've got from DRMO ran OK. At least as long as you might expect any multifuel to run, that is. dg

Any junk M211 M135 trucks to pick from, I need some of the Bendix recepticals on the radiator cross brace. They are hooked to the headlights and have 8 pins, male. dg

12" (M35)o r 17' (M36) bed=duece. 14' (M54) or 20' (M55) bed=5 ton. dg

Are you sure they aren't 24's? Most brifge trucks used different hubs and wheels than othr five tons. The bolt patern is even bigger. dg

Most canvas falls victim to the speeds rails travel goes...around 75 MPH on good roadbed. It is probably removed and stored in the truck somewheres. dg

I have known Jack Martin for many years. He will not make you a deal in any shape or form. He has absolutely no interest in dealing with MV collectors. He seems to delight in raising the price in proportion to your need, then refusing to sell it at all in the end. Stop in if you wish, but...

At last look, there were a couple for sale at Jet Sales in Yuma, Az 928-783-6617, ask for Jim Thomas. dg

Correctomundo...The current 900-series 5-ton uses the same wheel front & rear, with no hub flipping. The big CITES capable wheels in the photo are beveled on both sides for lugnuts. I have seen the M35E3 with the same pattern, and have seen it with the rears flipped. It is simpler to leave...

Check out your local big truck junkyards for a 6-bolt Budd that takes a 385R22.5 tubeless and run the most agressive tread you can find. Don't expect to get by for less than $3K for a basic set of 6 good used ones. The 425R22.5 Michelins on my 5-ton are right at $600 per, not counting the...

Wallew--No comment directed at you. Hell, I don't even know you. Just don't be scared off by those with horror stories about tires, CDL's, lights, or any other "non-compliance" issue. There are many smart & legal ways to go about using old MV's without paranoia or harrasment. I started...

I am fully aware of the milspec two-piece wheels popular today...I run them on my 5-tons. The M35E3 uses a similar but slightly narrower wheel for singles, but the lack of supply has rendered them almost unobtainable. In my post I am referring to the current thread following the use of either...

Wallew..How about the argument you can't fix one of those damned tubless wheels in the field? I've had several flats on a single trip and was able to dismount & fix them, going on without having to call for an embarrassing (or expensive) rescue. Knowledge, simple tools and an air hose is all...

On the hub flip: Reason #1...They will not track properly if not mounted dish in on an outer-facing flange. Reason #2...TACOM had Timkin design the drive train way back in the '50 to allow mechanics to easily achieve proper placement for either singles or duals. Reason #3...It looks really...

I have NOS S/N data plates for the M52 and will engrave same to your needs. PM me if interested. dg

It is no biggie, as the model numbers are relatively unimportant. One does not buy parts from any gear house for these trucks, it would be utterly expensive. There are more surplus houses and parts than you can imagine. If it has 6 lugs, it is from a G742 series duece. 6.722:1 ratio. If it...

Denatured alcohol is a great & cheap solvent to clean the system out, going either direction: IE, 3 to 5, or 5 to 3. Push thru with air, use till it is clear, and then it will evaporate out taking everything with it. dg

The M101 in not meant to dump by taking out the front attachment bolts and locking the parking brakes. The rear pivot points are not aligned properly for that operation. Doing this will cause metal fatigue to set in as the welded bosses flex a bit each time. The loss of one of these...

Hola, Baja! Free good used hub for shipping if you like. PM me. Dennis

Some 900's used Clark Powershift transmissions...not as good as the Allison. Check the data plates before buying. dg

The three pin Bendix cable is either for 25-Amp generator to regulator service, or as an extension cable for the early thru middle series radio power. My bet is for the gen/reg use. dg
