Thanks for the info... I wasn't sure what you meant by quick disconnect axle, but I looked in the manual and saw it. (I haven't taken delivery of the trailer yet, waiting on EUC) Very interesting design, I assume they did it that way to reduce weight? Jon

Certainly it's prudent to be careful, but it's been getting PMed around plenty here. I have zero respect for a law that allows me to own a trailer but not it's owner's manual. The Patriot Act is the exact opposite of Patriotic. I wish someone really were listening, I could give them an ear full.

Isn't an M118 trailer basically the same as an m146 without the box? I have the M146 manual but the one for the M118, TM 9-2330-210-14&P, is still code B so it can't be downloaded. ...Maybe someone could PM it to me..... ;-) Regards, Jon

The M52 runs very well but has bad tires and unfortunately also has a cracked frame, and may ultimately end up parted out. It is titled but not registered or insured so it wouldn't be able to go on the base for recovery anyway... I'll probably pay Barstow Towing to do it, unless someone local...

Yup it's going to become a camper, but rather minimalist... A/C on the roof but I'm not sure about a genset so the A/C may only work when plugged in to shore power. I'm going to paint the walls seafoam green, leave the roof white. Clean, sand, stain, and seal the floor. Interior appointments...

It would have been fun to come by, but I had GL auctions to bid on today.... I won an M146 trailer. :cool: Jon

Hmmm.... 6 years, 5 MVs, over 10,000 miles in my deuce throughout the state and never any problem whatsoever. Not from the cops, not at the DMV, not the city or county.... But then, I do have an acre of worthless desert that nobody pays much attention to. I think you guys are biased. There...

I bought 6TLs at AutoZone. Any place that sells batteries can order any battery you need. The guy who didn't know what a 6TL was is either new to the business or was trying to sell you a battery with a higher profit margin.

A few more... Pic 1 - This is the front of the label that came attached to my NOS Governor speed sensing unit I got on eBay from Vietnam. Pic 2 - Here's the back side with instructions. Pic 3 - Here's the NOS Zenith Mechanovac speed sensing unit from Vietnam. The connector on the left side...

Here's a few more pics of the diaphragm in the slave unit... Pic 1 - Shows the brittle old Zenith diaphragm on the left and the new Holley on the right. I have already removed the Holley pull rod and enlarged the center hole, it's ready to install. Pic 2 - This is the way the Holley...

Finally some progress! After leaving the governor slave assembly to sit a while, I recently decided to try to take it apart.... I was pleasantly surprised to find that it came apart easily. I simply took the two valve plates out of the valve body and then put pressure on the shaft with my...

I would bet that your unit is actually made by Hobart... Maybe the data plate is faded or has some damage that makes it look like "Holgart" instead of "Hobart" but Hobart is a popular brand of generators and welders. The 2-71 gensets that used to power virtually all railroad refrigerator cars...

Have you called Antelope Valley Equipment & Truck Parts yet? I don't know for sure if they have it, but they have a lot of WWII parts.... 661-945-6788 Jon

You mean the rainy 65 degree heat we've had this week? :mrgreen: Great truck. Do you have to keep it at a storage yard? I'm familiar with your area, I worked almost 10 years at the RR yard off Washington and the 710, before I transferred to San Bernardino. Jon

The pressure plate finger adjustment isn't supposed to be tinkered with in the truck, it is supposed to be done on a surface plate with feeler gauges. I don't see how this can be done to the degree of accuracy required, in the truck. If I made this mistake, I would pull the trans and clutch...

:ditto: I know where several 2-71 powered military welding trailers are, they were built in 1962 and 1966. Unfortunately they are in scrap condition and the seller wants $1200 each. I've also seen a 3-71 powered centrifugal pump on a military trailer.... Jon

It's been all the common failures... Input shaft bearings, 2nd gear welding itself to the shaft, and 5th gear shattering like glass. The 10-speed will be a close fit without moving the transfer case... I need to do more measuring still. I'll be starting a new thread when I have some more...

Like these? ....They're H-161/U headsets that are used with the VIC-1 as pointed out. I got a bunch of them on eBay, new, for $10 each. Jon

Those little centrifuges are meant to be used as a bypass filter on a diesel truck with maybe a 6 gallon crankcase capacity. For a truck with more oil, the centrifuge should be much bigger.... Even the Spinner II centrifuge on my deuce is twice that size. Is the outfit you bought it from...

I know where Mark got that deuce! ....And I know where the other trucks from Indiana Jones are.... The ones that survived, anyway. The one that was wrecked contributed a flywheel and some other small pieces to my deuce before it was scrapped. I also enjoyed punching my fists through it's...
