    Wrecker gurus, what is the single line pull of that winch? I would suppose that is the winch capacity.

    FMTV legality issue?

    Harris County (Houston TX) has 4.3 million people. That would be one long line at just one DMV.

    Is this a Diamond T ?

    Portrayal Press has all the manuals. They will apply to the wartime trucks, but the design did not change much.

    LMTV cab latch

    Agreed that is not enough. Before you tear into it, make sure you keep pressing the button for a while after the cab is down. Mine retracts about 8 seconds after the cab seats.

    FMTV legality issue?

    The DMV is confusing your LMTV with the HMMWVs! You will have to convince them they are mistaken somehow. Go to a different DMV office? Talk to a different girl?

    VeriTread.com - Estimates & Transport

    Guys, you are underestimating the challenge of getting a trucker with the right equipment, properly credentialed, to the right place on a military base at a specific time on a specific day of the week. It's like trying to get all the planets lined up. And if the equipment does not run, then...

    Between those straps and the bed compartments that only hold "some" of the top bow components, I hereby give the Stewart and Stevenson engineer responsible an "F".

    m38a1 oil leak

    Degrease the transmission/transfer, go for a ride, see where the oil is coming from. Leave the skid plate off. Assuming the yokes did not have grooves cut in the seal surface and you used silicone sealant on the splines when reassembling the yokes.

    M764 Earthboring rig. Worth getting?

    I had one of these years ago. Thought I could sell it into the foundation drilling industry. They took one look at it and said no way, it has no turntable that allows you to spin the bit to remove the spoil away from the hole. Ended up removing the bed and making a wicked M48A2 tractor...

    M51 - Found one. Questions now?

    The 6602 is a great, powerful engine, but will burn a good bit of gas. These gas 5 tons are getting quite old, so expect issues with the torque rod ends, brake hoses, driveline seals, etc. For limited farm use, you can't go wrong with one of these if you know how to do your own repairs.
