Then use studs and spacers at the top of the road wheel springs, compress (lift) both sets of bogie springs so as to get maximum clearance so you have enough "slack" to get the track on.The maintenance manual (Jensales repro) shows the proper procedure.It's best to compress the supension before...

The GF spent lots of time on her computer organizing all her pics---now I have a heck of a time finding anything LOL.BUT I will try. The GF and any available offspring were NOT available to help with the track install. So I just went into HERMIT mode--figure out how to do it solo. Had an...

Saw your post on these a while back. Been busy with work and winter so have not had much time to chime in here. Congrats on the "Army Cat(s)".This is what my brother and I called our Cletrac M2 when we were kids growing up on the place here.My Dad was Army Air Corp in WWII and used these on the...

Since I been waiting for the local DMV to get back to me on title and registration (they said there may be a problem??!!) I thought I would not drive it to Home Dope-o to get the wifes macrame supplies just yet.Wanna stay legal ya know- so I been driving it around the backyard while waiting...

I remember about 20 yr ago an old guy running a Gypo log truck around here had an air starter.Seems I remember that old F. Liner Cabover had a large air tank behind the bang board like salvage from a shop size aircompressor.Don't know if he wanted the extra volume or NEEDED the extra volume...

Depends on the state as to what "program" they have in place (I.E. what options are available) for getting a title for an orphan. Idaho has tightened up on getting titles issued for vehicles that don't have paperwork.The M35s (now) are so plentiful that if you run across one with title...

WOW did not like the looks of that at all.

Do yourself a favor and spend the extra time digging out around the tracks so as to remove ANY resistance to rolling---mud stuck in between the tracks and road wheels,etc. If it has sat that long, it's probly sunk into the ground.And if the ground is frozen there like it is here (until late...

There is Gasser Deuce with a dump bed sitting a ways off the highway couple towns away.Could not get my brain to wrap around what I was seeing till I got a chance to corner the owner and see the truck up close,last fall. Yep! 5 ton dump box---said it was fully loaded and could barely move...

Wow-- very bad deal.I've read thread after thread and post after post on here about local Planning and zoning(s), city council(s) and HOA(s) pulling this sort of crap.I just find it ironic that the very vehicles that were used to keep this country free are banned from the homes of supposedly...

UPDATE:--Well, crapola!! We did end up traveling down to Boise Christmas day --stopped on the way and took some pics but the owner was not home.Thought we would stop on the way back thru but ended up pretty late so we went on home. Finally ended up going to another B-Ball game last...

Great find and great save. My hat is off to you for tackleing such a large project.Hopefully your neighbors will come to appreciate what you are doing and not start raising HE!!Really do like the style of those trucks.With the power train upgrade that will be more practical and that means you...

I owned a 65hp Aeronca Champ years ago--no impulse couplings on the mags--finger whackin' dang thing!!!. Also worked worked a cropdusting company in East Texas rice country mixing and loading aircraft about the same time.We used 600hp (R-1340) Ag-Cats and one day we had to shut one down for...

Looks like a cool project and my compliments to the last driver of the beast--best parallel parking skills I think I ever saw!;-)

Wow,can't believe I haven't got around to adding to this threadaua----first is our "frontline tactical vehicle in the war against political correctness!!" our 1957 M35 Utica-Bend Gasser.It is the "twin" to USAAFColdWarriors truck in that our stories behind the purchase and how they came (new...

If there is any construction out-fits working near by,maybe you could hire a track-hoe to walk out there and grab ya. Even something about like a Hitachi EX100 would probly be enough.May cost you some but the convenience would be be worth it.Besides you may just get a deal when they realize what...

Oh, Man! Talk about on the wrong end of the country! I may as well be on MARS!! You guys back East have 10 to 1 of everything back there compared to where I'm sitting LOL!:razz:---trucks,armor,parts good deals etc. (Roger on that blood pressure thing:razz:) Jim

LOL!! I thought of you since you are closer than most and I remember a thread a while back where you said you'd like to have an 880. HHHMMM??--GF Birthday and Christmas within 4 days??!! I would think you could kill two birds( three actually) with one stone-------8) Jim

Yeah,seems like everytime I try to get buyers and sellers together, things come un-done and I get caught in the middle, but what the hey, I'll try this again----- Okay, I found a 1976 4x4 880 for sale in a town about 25 miles away.Going to a basketball game so we didn't have much time(any) to...

HHMM?? Are these for the same size king pin as a "normal" commercial 5th wheel----or are they the "oversize"? And by "tilt" do you mean they rock side to side as well as forword and back?? Also how high is the top or "face" of the plate compared to a "standard" 5th wheel plate? Sorry for all...
