    1st Milsurplus generator buy..think I did ok

    You did good, even has the batteries installed. Seperate, service and charge the batteries independent of each other, make sure they will hold a load, fresh fuel, get it primed and I bet it will make power. Paint it later.

    Toughest beads I've ever seen!

    JD and Wreckman are on point, the local tire shop knocks these wheels out in no time flat and won't spring/warp the lock ring, money well spent. They even cleaned and painted the lock rings.

    M809 Series PTO repair and parts?? (M818 with winch specifically)

    Tim, A lot of hardware can be re-used in a pinch, retainers (snap rings, cotter pins, self locking nuts etc.) The military had bins of new hardware and if available, use it. The seals can be replaced from under the truck. You can sit right up under there and get it done. The aft seal is pretty...

    Value of an M35A2

    Good idea, I too have taken a couple trucks off the selling block. If the climate does'nt clear these trucks may become real collectors items.

    Straps under bed on m932A2

    Try Glendale Manuals, they have TMs for a lot of military equipment. Some of the latest revisions. It is worth the cost to have real paper to reference/or just thumb through.

    M923-NHC 250 Cummins-Lots of white smoke-Won't Start

    No intank pressure pump on the early M939/A1 trucks. Engine suction feeds, Fill the filter bowl as full as you can and use the hand primer pump to pressurize the fuel manifold. While cranking the engine give it a good hot of ether. like Steve says " spray while cranking" may take a coule tries.

    Possibly No More Trucks from DLA

    Very true, I just applied for a Title/SF97 for the last truck (M35A2) I got from GL. The website processed the request and accepted the payment, however I got a funny feeling it may fall get held up for some reason. We'll see, the titling department at GL should have a lot of time on their hands.

    Straps under bed on m932A2

    The straps secure the cargo bows when not in use. Do you have a copy of the operators manual for this truck? It is a MUST read for owning one of these trucks.

    Possibly No More Trucks from DLA

    This will be an issue for farmers that purchase vehicles, and what I don't understand is if the EPA is all about cleaning up the environment then what do the farmers have to look forward to as the current equipment isn't regulated. I foresee DEF, regen, and other crap being mandated in tractors...

    Deuce held hostage

    Steve, you need to keep "your distance", send the neighbor kid in with the spray bombs. I got chased yesterday, cleaned a M105 cover and tossed it over the farm truck to dry, big wasp nest in the right fender well. They'll "get it" tonight when I retrieve the cover.

    Dietz Model 32 Road Flare / "smudge pot"

    No kidding, we called them "road bombs" when we were little. Amazing flash back, when times were simpler.
