    Compressor oil for ex-mil Davey compressor

    If it's a typical screw compressor, say 185 cfm at 100 psi, I would put any mfgrs air end lube in it, such as Sullair.

    Scout car information needed.

    My advice to you is to carefully remove the old seals, take the seal along with the ID and OD measurement of where the seal goes, and go to your local bearing supply house. NOS seals are too old, and technology has come a long way from rawhide.

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    The lugs are 1 1/2" same as all other Budd pattern military trucks. For the CTIS banjo bolt, I always grab an adjustable (Crescent) wrench. For jack cribbing, I would get 3 pieces of 4x4 timber, each 1' long.

    M35A2 transfer case questions

    Converting M931A2 to Gin Pole Truck?
