    Fan solenoid...

    Thought someone found the OEM replacement on the thread I posted. Is the one Wess you are talking about a direct replacement. Ours is 24 volt and works with the fording switch to shut off engine fan if it is running when fording. Also mine shuts off engine cooling fan but turns on my rear aux...

    M-37 Batteries

    Just picked up this NATO cable set up and it has just about 9 feet of cable. My truck just has the block off plate on the drivers side now. A pic of my battery box for those who like pictures. I have to decide how run the cables. Thought about running Pos. to the starter and Neg. just to the...

    Fixing M35A3 Rim Leaks - For Good! (Brainstorming Session)

    I guess this is tire snot. Directions call for this tub to be mixed with 4 gallons of water but I never do. I use it straight for O ring, tire bead and grommet. Make sure grommet is centered with it's shoulder in the wheel valve stem hole and tighten good. I just went to check my tires that I...

    Deuce will not start

    Yea I think someone said along time ago to use a wooded dowel to tap a stuck plunger loose. I have a Head here in the office but I do not know how far to compress the spring to measure it. Would seem to do it right the head needs to be installed and IP spun over to see how much lift the cam...

    Deuce will not start

    I believe the problem with that is plunger will still move if the clip failed and timing button fell off. We need someone to measure how much movement there is when correct and how much when we have clip / timing button fails to stay connected. Just guessing without measuring the timing button...

    Gear Lash and Driveline Vibrations - It wasn't the drivelines

    Question. If any one remembers my front drive shaft was out of phase buy three splines. Yea moron who took it apart did not mark it some how. I could have rotated one way or the other to get it back into phase. If a drive shaft is balanced when assembled and in phase if you then remove slip...

    M10A International Harvester Rough Terrain Forklift

    If the system that is all lines and cylinders holds 31 Gal. and reservoir holds 14 Gal. that seems up to 45 Gal. total? No way the whole system only holds 15 Gal. Nice score no matter what. Could the front forks be changed out to a bucket.

    pros and cons to owning an LMTV vs a M35a3

    Bobbing with out putting lockers in front and rear is ok if the truck will be used to get groceries. I learned my lesson on that one and yes it still would be a bad machine off road but a tandem will get you through more with the correct tires for the terrain.

    Cat 3116 max altitude questions

    I googled it and learned somethings. I would say since it is a mechanical injection system it will inject the same amount of fuel at any altitude. Problem less oxygen so to me yes egt's would be high and power way down. Wonder if a pyrometer installed would help you keep and eye on exhaust...

    M37 Fuel pump, original or electric?

    Yes send John your core and you will get one back. I do not drive in the rain as mine is just a show queen now so I just put on a carter mechanical fuel pump and let the wipers be decorations.

    Rebuilding the Injection pump

    As per some you can check the booster with just the in tank pump and it's low pressure if the seal is real bad. TM tells us we need to push 60 psi through it to check for a failing seal with it removed from the IP. Unused to me is old rubber and still might be your cause. As for you asking about...

    FMTV wiring schematic

    There was a top secret space mission. The only two on board would be the commander and a monkey. The commander did not know why the mission needed a monkey on board but knew space command had a plan. When the commander and monkey were being loaded into the space craft the commander was handed a...

    FMTV wiring schematic

    OK was the last monkey to climb out of the tree but yea see it now. Find the circuit on one page and look for the number that I need to go too. So to complete circuit 105 had to go from #47 to #139 or vise versa.
