Welcome to the forum. Looks 1960's vintage. I would take the starter to an old school auto electric shop. They should be able to rebuild it. Engine looks like a Continental Red Seal, also commonly used in forklifts.

Here is what is written in the TM: Must be what your client is referring to. Do not press brake pedal hard three or four times in a row. Air supply will be used up and service brakes will not work until air pressure builds up again. Do not operate vehicle until FRONT and REAR BRAKE AIR...

If you can get your RTFL over there and rent a second one, you can easily pick the LCVP up, one fork truck in the middle of the gunwale on both sides, with a inverted v bridle sling going to the front and rear lift points bow and stern. Lift it straight up and back a drop deck underneath. No...

Here we go. The M1083 has a GVW that requires a class B drivers license. To obtain this license you are required to perform the "cola" air brake test, which requires you to pump the brake pedal dozens of times in quick succession. This will not cause the brakes to fail. The brakes on the...

Worldwide Machinery still has 21 unsold SD Brazos trucks that have been sitting in Houston since BAE folded years ago. Personally I would have taken that to be a barometer of demand for these trucks before I opened a business to rebuild and sell these to the oilfield/off highway market.

OMG, it's like Plan B for FMTVs. At least they look like they do a better job with the rebuild.

Drive over some undulating terrain and then show us what is left of that.

Welcome and congratulations. I hope you cherish that rare airdrop truck as I do mine.

Can you post a picture of the frame stamped VIN?

Did you inadvertently bump the trolley lever in the cab?

Check the schematic, some of these units have the compressor run continually and moderate cooling by opening a valve to bypass the evaporator.

I think the M15s were the favorite for crane conversions, as the turrets were useless in civilian applications. It is amazing what kind of huge cranes were attached to the wimpy halftrack chassis.

It will haul much more gravel than will fit in the dump bed.

Originally manufactured 1965 or so. Good for farm or hobby use, but probably not something you want to put on a construction site with an 18 yr old driver.

You need the alternator conversion kit. Call around to TJMurray etc, the vendors should have some.

Welcome Frederic. I believe your A1 is a 1954. The date of manufacture should be stamped on the dashboard data plate. Good luck with the restoration. I got my M38A1 in 1980 and I still have it. The G503 website is also a great resource for Jeeps.

Why would she part out a perfect $25,000 truck because it needs the transmission repaired?????????? Please.

What tab? There is a little spring loaded button on the switch that you have to press.

Multifuel head water manifolds.

To work on FMTVs you have to be an electrical/electronics tech. To fix the Cat, you have to own high dollar special tools.
