    M939 v.s. M813 Front Lift Shackle

    They should be. I bought some of the front lifting shackles directly from the guy who bought out BMY Harsco (maker of the M939A2 series) and they fit deuces, M809 series, as well as the M939 series. I think the actual shackle is identical on those trucks...although there is an older and a...

    5 Ton Bridge Truck?!?

    A guy responded to your classified ad and said he is interested. He left his phone number. I am guessing you already saw that, but...just in case...I am letting you know.

    Made a mistake

    More water accumulates in a tank due to condensation from natural temperature changes than probably entered the tank through frost. I concur with the other posters. I would also suggest adding a whole bottle (the big bottle, 64 oz., I believe) of Power Service diesel fuel conditioner. It...

    M35A3 Fording

    I almost wonder if the boat was there FOR safety...as in the kids could jump in it if the driver got in a bit too far. Someone else mentioned this, but how could he possibly have enough faith that the water would not drop off in spots or there were no tree stumps, rocks, etc. I enjoyed watching...

    Where to get parts for the M-101A2

    CUCVFAN has the crank up landing legs with handles. Send him a PM. I got one from him and was very happy.

    Recovery possibilities FL 800 miles?

    As a guide, figure $2.50/mile. I have had trucks hauled recently for that...including contracting with a trucker this past week. My recommendation...find a truck closer to you. You are going to spend at least the $1800 you quoted to get the truck home...plus what you paid. You very well...

    Justin, you found an M113?:drool:

    Will CUCVs continue to appreciate in value?

    When I first got into the hobby, you couldn't give me a CUCV. I was not impressed by them given that they are really civilian vehicles with some military add-ons. After a few years, I decided to purchase a Blazer. After that, my eyes were open. I love the CUCVs because, while not true...

    POS transmission

    A bunch of NOS deuce transmissions came out a few years back. Check with John Winslow (252-883-2509) in Halifax, NC. He may have some. I bought a few NOS 5 ton transmissions from John over the past several years.

    POS transmission

    No offense intended, but you are blaming the transmission shop and you only now re-read the TM to figure out what was what. When I once had a head gasket replaced on a deuce (when I first got into the hobby and knew nothing), I purchase the engine overhaul TM and provided it to the shop doing...

    So, this is how OD topic threads tie into one another. Interesting!:beer:

    Sounds like you may need to tear that sucker apart again.

    POS transmission

    Reminds me of a Homer Simpson quote...and I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember it exactly...but he said "I had two children (at that time) and a job and somehow I still managed to fit in eight hours of TV." (insert SteelSoldiers for TV). :beer:

    Wehring...many thanks!

    I wanted to share with the list a very positive experience I had dealing with Justin. I bought an LWS for an M939 from him. I thought Justin said the kit was complete...something he took off a truck. Anyway, the kit was missing some parts that were necessary for the install. After talking...

    Swollen plugs already.

    First move I make once I get a CUCV home is to swap the glow plugs with new, non-swelling ones. I don't care if the ones I'm pulling work or not.

    Super singles to duals on a 900 series ?

    Makes sense. I actually prefer the 1400s, too. I was just looking at positives thinking there was a reason the OP wanted to swap 'em out.
