    Hydramatic oil cooler question

    Sorry bout that, the picture in the manual looked like an O ring, McMaster does not have u-shaped parts that I know of. Now I understand your predicament.

    Hydramatic oil cooler question

    You are quite correct, the ORD9 G749 parts book for the M135 lists the part as a G200 part, ORD p/n 5342366. It is described as Seal rubber 1.25" ID, 1.875 OD, 9/32 thk. This is a McMaster Carr item. Maybe upgrade to Viton. Oh and welcome to Steelsoldiers, hope we can help with your Chaffee...

    What was your experience with shipping a LMTV

    Talk to the site rep. If it is advertised as "runs with a jump", they will jump it for you and help your driver out. If it's dead as a doornail, the site rep MAY have the ability to push it on a step deck equipped with ramps but if not, you will have to arrange a wrecker to do so. United...

    5 ton wrecker bed

    Heavywrecker, don't mean to rain on your parade but I'm hoping you looked at the load charts carefully on the boom. That wrecker may look like a "rotator" on a big HD wrecker but it's not. There is about maybe 20% wiggle room on the weight capacity of the boom and then it folds up like a paper...

    Tires

    Take them to a grungy nasty 18 wheeler truck tire repair place on the side of the road to be dismounted. Then take the rims home and paint them well. Then mount the new tires yourself, it is child's play. As long as the ring snaps down and the ends are about 1/8" apart, all is well.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    Please study this: http://www.odts.de/southptr/gears/gears.htm Of importance is the section E discussion of reduction. Also important is the observation: "The size of wheel 3 does not influence the behavior of the differential. It can therefore be chosen as space (or torque) dictate"...

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    This statement is in direct contradiction of the info published in TM9-2320-365-10 section 1-13 equipment data.

    Has anyone attempted to make their own hard doors?

    Plan B makes a door like you say with a cute applique x on it.

    M35a2 stacks moved

    Welcome to the forum. I did what you describe. I used the stack that used to be at the fender. I cut it right after the 90 at the bottom and mounted it behind the cab. I left the part that attaches to the turbocharger in place. I joined the two cut pipes using a 90 towards the rear, a long...

    HEMTT Overheating While Driving

    I recall a thread where someone had a plugged radiator.

    M151a1

    '65 Ford sounds quite accurate. The 2J8879 VIN is also the Army registration number which is stenciled on the hood.

    Geared hub in progress.

    I would highly suggest you remove the outer bearing and clean it of the filings and shavings that may have worked in there. Leave a little weight on the tire and remove the nut, and the bearing will pop right out.

    I am back even though I never really left

    Looks like a factory 686 tan "E" VIN suffix truck. Lotsa painting to do to get rid of all the tan up underneath and everywhere. They are a fun truck for sure.

    I'm a new guy, learning to use computers slowly.

    Would love to see your 724. Take pictures with your phone or digital camera, upload them to your computer using the cable, then press "go advanced" when making a thread reply. Then press "manage attachments". Then press "add files". It will let you search for the pictures on your computer...

    wheels m-1088

    The steel wheels are all over ebay for $65 each. These are a waste product for the tire flipper crowd. Search "LMTV wheel". Send me a PM if you want to sell your aluminum rims.
