    Spark plug leads question

    Several ways: 1. Replace the wires one at a time. 2. Refer to the Technical Manual 3. Find TDC of #1 cylinder in compression stroke, see which tower the rotor is pointing to, then place the remaining wires per the firing order. I think the distributor turns CCW.

    Is it the M Gator?

    Ah-ha, we have a John Deere Carnac now! Access to "the system"

    Is it the M Gator?

    Don't think so. Missing tiedowns on the front bumper and data tag should say "MIL".

    fifth wheel assembly informations

    I agree with this. Holland did not make the original fifth wheel on these trucks. Dayton Steel Foundry did. Holland made the fifth when that was used to replace the original starting in the 80's.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    I thought the consensus was 3.07 IS ideal? How much faster than 65 do you want to cruise? The deal at MTP is you ship them your chunks ($150) and they ship them back all 3.07ed up. If you let them do the chunk pulling, the price goes up. Joe is POC at MTP.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    Why would anybody want to have gearsets made or install takeouts when brand new Meritor gearsets can be installed by MTP Drivetrain for $1750 per axle?

    M-1083 just front tires spin in mud not rear

    Welcome to the site. You need to engage "Mode" on the WTEC controller to lock the inter-axle differential and the transfer case.

    Convert m172A1 to 17.5 wheels

    That wheel is most likely what is being supplied. If you plan on using the trailer commercially, that is the way to go.

    Remove paint but leave CARC!

    Rapco may match color but it is WAY OFF on flatness. You want CARC substitute from ArmyTankGuy on ebay.

    M151a2

    Looks really good. I would guess the side turn signal was tastefully added by a civilian owner in order to comply with European lighting standards. Some import cars here are starting to have that even though it is not required here.

    Bought some 98% take-offs, and noticed the 8 bolt wheels.

    Try Feltz Tire, they are closer to you. Needs to go 4 on pallet motor freight not UPS etc. Pick up at terminal to save on freight.

    M135 - Why is my Transfer Lever Stuck in the Neutral Position?

    That your transfer is in neutral like you suspect.

    M135 - Why is my Transfer Lever Stuck in the Neutral Position?

    The one between the Hydramatic and the transfer case.

    M1082

    I have a trailer that has a restriction in the emergency line (bug nest?). It takes about 10 minutes for the prime mover to fill the trailer tank sufficiently to release the spring brakes.
