I've been looking for an excuse to buy another one of those tools for years now. Many times I've had to improvise, or hold part of a hacksaw blade in a vise-grip or something to make cuts in odd locations. I'm pretty much committed to dropping the tank. I've got enough containers to drain the...

I'm a physician/surgeon. Amateur gunsmith (several dozen FN-FAL's, AR15s - milled receivers, M1911s under my belt), I figure on using a router with a 1/8 square-end cutter. I only need to cut through about 80% of the bed, the rest I can open up with a lever-action can opener (old kind, recall...

This was a very helpful post. I've got an idea how to make a much larger cover/hatch, my thinking is, it SHOULD be possible to remove the plate/gasket though this and NOT remove the tank. What would be helpful is finding the original instructions for the kit for NSN 2510-01-454-7077 which...

That's what I'm trying to avoid, but it's looking more like I'll need to go that route.

Ditto. I KNOW I can make one, cutout, flaps, tabs, pop rivets, 10-24 riv nuts, no problem. But where, EXACTLY to cut the tunnel? Does ANYONE have the instructions for this from the kit for NSN 2510-01-454-7077? I have, literally, spent over an hour looking for these and the closest I've come...

I figured this is why the gov't went with a clear-ish tank. If you see fuel it should run despite a wonky gauge.

I'm thinking ground guide for an airfield.

Put a two can ammo can tray up on top of the rt rear fender. began measuring for mudflaps - 2" 6061 angle brackets with 1-1/2 in flats to hold 12x18" flaps. Should bolt right up against frame behind wheels. I'll be sure and post pictures of both.

Look under left side of dash (forward of ignition/light switch), box is bolted under engine compartment just to the right of the windshield washer fluid container. If your box has a small connector covered with a cap/chain, it's an S3.

Dive right in, the water's fine. Welcome from Maryland - again. Norm

There IS a note in a TM somewhere about removing these, using some OIL on the plug (get it backed out and squirt some in the precombustion chamber liberally slathering the tip of the plug).I removed ONE by using a small vise-grip pliers just between the nut/thread and tapping a tapered drift...

You DEFINITELY need to apply some high-temp anti-seize on those things. This is good: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0002UEOLO/ref=sr_ph_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484699076&sr=sr-1&keywords=anti-seize

Replaced/repaired wiring for windshield washer pump, replaced hoses, adel clamps, nozzles (from hummerpartsguy, the outrageously expensive ones), trimmed hood/rubber to fit nozzles. I'd replaced/refitted/sealed the tank and new pump several weeks ago while I dithered about how involved...

Got 3-point seat belts installed in the back. Had started yesterday but couldn't get one reel working - looked up the problem here, found some solutions, works great - then I couldn't get the anchor bolts started. LOOKED like I was going to need something smaller than what came in the kit, it...

That's what Maryland MVA did for me. ROAD title was issued in Montana. Truck's 25 years old, no inspection, registered historic, about $56 a year IIRC, plates in 3 days through an agency, no problem. I'm not driving it daily anyway. YMMV.

If/when I get the bugs worked out, I plan on taking mine to parades and exhibits from time to time until such time as I can haul it down to our retirement home in Hampshire, TN where I plan on using the 18k lb hydraulic winch for hauling logs and whoknowswhat. Maybe I'll hook of a DR trencher...

:popcorn:

26 years exposure to Nomenclature, Military, Cockeyed doesn't make looking up parts in the manuals any easier. Spent I don't know how much time in the parts books (24P-1,2,3) trying to find fuel injector, injector, fuel or some other combination. Probably the wrong book, but it made sense to...

Exactly what it says in the operator's manual - which I need to re-re-read apparently. NB

I recently had this exact thing happen - accidentally. I think I'd pushed the TC shifter forward while working under the gauge panel or something. Ran fine for about 3 miles until I pulled into a parking lot and IMMEDIATELY recognized what the locking and bucking was all about just not sure it...
