    Mity mite oil leak

    Oh no, that's an O ring issue. Maybe it's split. No hope to repair properly without disassembly. Double check your crankcase vent to be sure the oil is not being forced out.

    1952 xm211 vin location

    You are super lucky, your truck has the Memphis Equipment "REB" shift kit installed, it makes the Hydramatic into a powershift style transmission. The stock Hydramatic valve body never seems to shift when you want it to. Replace the in-tank fuel pump with an aftermarket pump mounted near the...

    Options: sell the tracks to a Sherman owner, scrap the rest; find a M4 missing running gear and two to make one; repower and sell/use as a dozer or winch tractor.

    Welcome. The VIN will be in two places, on the main data plate to the right of the glove box, and on the right frane rail, above the front axle forward spring perch area.

    MRAP seats & motorized turret in a M1083A1

    That turret looks 100% better than that way too heavy M66. If you post a pdf of the adapter you had made I would be forever thankful.

    Risks of driving without one drive shaft?

    Back in the day we would buy M880s with a similar full time transfer case, of course DRMO would bend the rear driveshaft by forklifting, we would pull that and drive home using the front axle only.

    Anybody Done an M1078 Special Forces "War Pig" Conversion?

    Accumulating OVM to equip my M1081. Going to be a long term project.

    Air in PS fluid

    Was your local hydraulic shop able to rebuild the cylinder?

    M872 34 ton trailer "quality deficiency"???

    Anyone got the straight scoop on this? Looks like A2 and A3 trailers. I ask because Uncle has already sold a bunch of these and DOZENS are in use here at the Port of Houston area hauling 30 ton coils of steel.

    Forklifts on IronPlanet

    Oh I bought a forklift from Govplanet. They kept using it between lotting and when I picked it up. They ruined the tires, smashed the hydraulics and spilled out the all hydraulic fluid. Of course tires and hydraulics were not covered on the "ironclad" warranty. Very unhappy.

    Starter Arc?

    I would start by cleaning all the posts and terminals on the batteries, your short might have converted a poor connection into an open connection.

    Recovering the M15A2 trailer

    Air in PS fluid

    I noticed on mine, after it puked fluid several times, looking in the PS pump reservoir, the fluid pouring back into the pump is severely aerated. Leading me to believe this is happening somewhere other than the pump.

    Ford CUCV

    Did y'all notice the registration number starts with 16, as in 2016 year model Ford. Interesting the USAF has kept that numbering scheme basically since the beginning of the Air Force.

    Air in PS fluid

    Exact same problem with mine. Totally confused about how air gets in the lines as they are all under pressure. Except for maybe the cooler lines?

    Changing out the coolant on the NHC250

    Your findings about the need to "baby" the 250 are perplexing. I would think Cummins rates these engines' horsepower per the data plate to run at that output endlessly. Example: marine application. Full rated power for days on end.
