    Installing bed on tractor

    We installed a bed cut nearly exactly like that 2 years ago at the GA Rally. Cool Job!

    what's it worth? In cab trans hoist

    I bought mine on ebay about 10 years ago for $75. I used it once and promptly sold it. In theory it was perfect for the job but in reality I find the beam across the cab or the engine hoist through the door much faster.

    Kudos and a hearty welcome aboard to fyrman1. If seeking towbar parts you may want to post an ad in the wanted section of the classifieds. Glad you made the effort to search.

    M1101, M1102, S-250 Shelter

    When I put my golf cart in my M101A3 I have a sway problem. The cart is very heavy in the rear. I ended up strapping a spare on the tongue against the front of the bed. It worked out great.

    Official 2014 SS Ga. Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    Folks, if anyone wants or needs CUCV keys for spares or whatever, see me at the rally. $1 each. Can't get a copy at the hardware store that cheap. If you bring an original GM blank and want me to punch it from code, I'll be happy to do so.

    Going back in Forum Time

    Often I go back and look at questions I've posed and it makes me laugh. I should have read the manual sooner. Yeah, there is a ton of great info buried within.

    Air System Diagram for M923A1

    FWIW, on most MVs you will find the air diagrams and electrical schematics in the unit maintenance manuals (-20 etc) in the appendix. To leaf through the manual looking for it will be a waste of time. Also to note, on most paper manuals they are nice fold outs that are easily copied in a...

    58. Days out people. If you save a nickel a day you can almost buy a burger. My humble advice is to save more.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Had a no start from cold on the ambulance the other day. The wait light didn't go off at all and no sound from the relay. Switched cards and had the same issue so I returned to the experimental card. Yesterday I replaced the glow plug relay from my stock and she fired right up. The tropical...

    How to remove deuce soft top

    Well, you asked about how to unhook it from the windshield, I assumed (incorrectly) you had already done the other stuff. I believe there is a more detailed instruction in the -10 TM but here are the cliffnotes. Undo rope or supercord from the back. Undo twistlocks and slide over the studs...

    How to remove deuce soft top

    It slides to the side out the channel. Can be a PITA for sure. FWIW its the same way the channel is behind the door glass.

    Rusty, Recovry and Panzerwillie's Wrecker Builds

    Well, a little about your new toy. It certainly is a Holmes 440 but it's the latest version, the Hi-Power. This was the bed and boom on the worlds fastest wrecker. The bed itself was one of the best looking ones (my opinion) Holmes ever made. It's a Holmes Sonic low side. The same bed was also...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Not so much to or for my CUCV but to help others. Punching out keys to code on my Curtis #15 cutter. Repeat after me, 73Y2 on a B49 blank.

    After years of drooling we finally have a SHERMAN TANK!

    C'mon Tony, post up a video of that machine on the move. Detroits in stereo must sound awesome, especially under load.

    Starter FUBAR

    Swap the relay and starter and you significantly reduce your odds of other major issues.

    After years of drooling we finally have a SHERMAN TANK!

    Bet I'm drooling more. Detroit powered easy 8 is by far my favorite tank. Youser!
