    Technical manual recommendations

    . Welcome to the Outfit! The link that @Guyfang provided gets you to the right section of the site. There are "dash numbers" on the end of the file name that tell you what the purpose are for the books. For example a "Dash 10" means that TM is the equivalent of the owners manual in civilian...

    Engine repair or swap to LDS?

    . Could be an inexpensive short term valve guide fix. Thinking about small block Chevrolet heads that had "umbrella seals" inside the valve springs on the stock version of those cars. Primary job that they did was to keep the splash of oil from running down the valve stems - causing the oil...

    Alternative to an M35

    . The Deuce (M35) has been around for a lot of years. Wasn't called a M35 back in WWII but the body style was the same and did the same job. The M35 started life as a REO Motor Car Company vehicle in 1949. The M35a3 generally has a 3116 Caterpillar power plant - all serviceable by CAT if your...

    Buzzards Roost

    . The aluminum diamond plate would be a heck of an idea. No chance of rust that way... Seems like you would have to find some sort of rubber mat to go under the plate - or the squeaks would drive you crazy.

    Oshkosh P-19 fire truck

    . Can you give any numbers from the data plates? Just looking at it, I have seen a USMC version that looks a lot like it... Is there a valve out on the side of the truck possibly - that needs to manually be pushed or pulled to release the water from the tank to the pump? Maybe you can look...

    M1084A1 M1084 M977 MHC Grove Material Handling Crane Troubleshooting Problems

    . The DB9 connection inside the box might be a way to program the eeprom rather than having to remove it? Or maybe to update whatever software runs the tilt (PAT) box maybe? I don't see an eeprom on the board pictures above. Maybe it is on the back side of the board?

    Horn button?

    . Same as with most other military trucks. Windows - up or down - rain or shine. Looks to me that the window was down more often than not when your truck was in service. That metal ring is the contact that gets grounded when you press the button that you don't have these days.

    Steering wheel stuck on

    . And load the thing up with some penetrating oil @ramdough . AND it will help to give the puller a love tap every now and again to help the wheel move. Tension and Tap (repeat as necessary) For whatever reason - guessing IDGARA - the windows aren't regularly rolled up when the military...

    Horn button?

    . The big plus is that the hand operated air valve can ease out a sound. The electric solenoid is ON or OFF. Doesn't matter a lot on the smaller higher pitched horns. The ones that sound like a fog horn that you can ease out a sound from are really cool to have with the manual valve. Wiring...

    MEP-804A Unidentified loose connection around fuel float assembly.

    . I can't answer for the MEP, but on a lot of trucks there is a ground wire under one of those bolts around the fuel sending unit. That blue and that red connector are most likely not factory connectors - and in your last picture - somebody bought the harbor freight cheap a$$ crimpers. The...
