    Valence's M66 Gun Ring

    You should have used the rebuild manual I posted on the Air-Packs. It is the original rebuild manual showing all the little "O" rings and where they go. You probably left one out not knowing where it was suppose to go.

    MEP531A just got one

    Since I have the MEP-016D and the MEP-002a and the MEP-531a I can honestly say the MEP-016D is the same as the MEP-531a. The MEP-002a is much louder then both the others.

    Transfer Case popping out of gear

    The 208 is a chain drive unit. What usually goes out is the chain and support bearings. To do a basic check without tearing it down just take hold of the output yoke and then try and turn the front yoke back and forth. You should only have a little play ( few thousandths ) . If you have more...

    The good and the bad of owning something tracked and/or armored?

    I remember this guy I knew years ago that owned a WWII Sherman Tank. When I mentioned how I would love to someday own my own tank he laughed and said "then don't get married !" and "forget about buying a house !" . So "teletech" are you married ? and do you own your own home ? I suppose if you...

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    I really like mine and I'm glad I did the conversion. It really opens up that whole side area like you said ! And it is SO easy to replace (clean) the filter now ! Another plus, you don't get any standing water in the bottom of the filter housing anymore. My seals where getting bad and allowed...

    Show us your Military Trailers

    That reminds me of a dream job I wanted when I was 15 years old. My family owned 100 acres near Chehalis WA. and my father and I would go down there on weekends and work on the storage barn we built. We had an old 1942 IHC TD6 dozer that we used to clear the land with. One day it broke the right...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Just make sure to loosen the cap on the trunion when lubing the bearings ! Or install one of those pressure reliefs in place of the bottom zirk and install a zirk in the cap.

    MEP-531 and MEP-501 removing couplers

    Hehe, had that argument with my ex-wife! As soon as you sell or get rid of something, you'll have to re-buy it again the next day! I've never sold any tools either, other than junk consumer stuff people gave me. Of course when we got divorced my tools suddenly became worth $1,000,000. :D...

    Deuce brake shoe replacement

    That is determined by a lot of factors. One: how do you drive ? Do you maintain speed then brake hard or do you slow down far in advance. Two: do you ride the brakes ? Three: do you maintain the brakes and keep them in proper adjustment ? Four: did you buy good quality brake shoes to begin with...

    TH400 transmission problems

    Here's some pictures I took to help explain the difference between the normal TH400 transmission and the heavy duty TH400. The unpainted unit is the normal one and the green one is a heavy duty model. You can see in the first two pictures the difference in the flange thickness. This is where the...
