Bill's info on how to time a mule is dead on, unless you have one of the A5's that was converted to electric start at Ft. Campbell in the mid-eightees... They have a different pulley, so you have to set them by looking for the marks on the gears, and you have to set them offset one tooth...

I'm not too worried about the tires or the eight wheel vehicle being discussed here... I just like the idea for two new emoticons since I would love to use them every time that somebody talks about having, using, wanting, a CUMMINGS... It is CUMMINS. :jumpin:

I have a web page (several, actually) devoted to this subject... :) For tires, see: Michelin 1100r16 XL tires For info/discussion on the tires, rims, lockrings, lug nuts, etc., see: Tires Good luck. PS: I notice that the URL gets shortened when a post is made and the name of the page...

John Winslow in Halifax, NC (just off I95 after you cross the VA/NC line) has done a bunch of bobbed duece and five tons over the years. I've driven several, and talked to a few of his customers and know that they were real happy with the trucks. For info on his recent projects, look at...

Wreckerman has it IMHO... I have never had any issues with getting help loading stuff even though every lot that I ever picked up (for myself or others) has been listed as "buyer load". At some of the locations, there are a multitude of forklifts (various sizes and types) ramps and even use...

Hard to say about the infection... But keep in mind that average relative humidity for us runs from an afternoon low of 46% in April to a midday high of 92% in September. The average thus runs from 56% to 75%... So, we tend to get a lot of moisture in partial tanks. We just know that we...

We have had some folks in the Morganton area participate in the past. Sign up, talk it up, and we'll see if we can get a march unit going from that area again this year... :)

I've made my own biodiesel in the past and liked how it worked in my MV's (and in a friends' construction equipment). I've since swithed to running a blend of WMO and diesel since my processing time is much lower (only have to filter and blend) and I can get the WMO for free whereas getting good...

The problem with cutting down posts is that the "pockets" have to be slightly larger in order for the bows to fit inside... The units that I have on my M37 (that came off a M101) came from a buddy (Charles at MSeries Rebuild) who had a bunch of M101 trailer sides with badly rotted wood. He...

I liked Bjorn's rig so much that I came very close two years ago to purchasing a truck out of Lejeune that had a comparable HIAB on it so that I could mount it on a M36 with a M35 dropside bed (figured that it would fit in the gap and that I would have the decent sized bed to haul stuff in along...

I'm going to "cheat" and not retype everthing that I could say here... I have a page on my website that discusses paint/metal work on my M37... See: Paint

The menu looks good from my perspective. Burgers might be a tad less expensive then cold cuts for lunch (and about as fast when you put them on the MKT's grill) given the prices at my local food service supplier... Assuming that I can still make it (and it looks good on my end at this point...

The M101 series actually uses a specialty bracket (short stake pocket) for the bows to sit in when not being used... I don't have a good photo of them on one of my M101's, but I do have a shot of a pair that I bolted to the side racks of a M37 since I didn't like the stock storage system on the...

The March 2010 issue of Car and Driver has a road test of the Oshkosh M-ATV... They let the guys from the magazine play with one at Aberdeen... They liked it, they have several quotes from Marines in the field who like it... In typical C&D fashion, they got excited about the cigarette...

Just a reminder to everyone that we will be having the East Coast Convoy to the Aberdeen (MD) MV Rally again this year. Amnon is working on updates to the ECC website, but you can go an register for the Convoy now (it's still FREE), look at some of the historical information, and see who's...

In case anyone else is looking for one of these and wants some alternative numbers from the parts cross refernce list on my website: KD 2438 SNAP ON ANS-1905 HUSKY 15003 (W-3)

Yep, we will be running the East Coast Convoy to the rally again this year. Amnon is working on website updates as we speak (well, type...). Same basic plan as in the past. If you are heading in from a location not super close to an existing Serial route, contact me and we'll work with you...

I'll have to check the dates. If I can come, I can cook (and will bring my MKT since I am used to it...). I'll also bring something "small" to drive on the trails since my five tons are way too big (dueces are too, but their are plenty of good forest roads/state roads in the area for local...

I'll be the first to say that I don't know the answer to your question....but my first guess would be that they are not the same PTO since the transmissions are different and the drive gear for the PTO has to match the gear (tooth count/pitch and location) on the idle shaft that powers it. You...

My first aid kit was sold as "French Surplus" at Aberdeen (and a few on-line dealers also had them at the time) but it was the saem dimensionally as the one that BillW had. A couple of new stickers from Rick Larsen and you can't tell it from an original US one... I then filled it with the...
