Great story! The troop seat components are not 715 though, look 880 or CUCV. The 715 uses the same parts as a deuce/5 ton, only fewer intermediate staves.

Yes, use a pipe wrench to take the huge plugs out. Be prepared to catch some gear oil. Then the shafts pull out using a long bolt, better bring an assortment of metric and standard bolts about 3" long around 3/8" fine thread. Auctionaddict may remember the exact size. Almost all parts...

The newer M915s have an overdrive Allison.

Well, 24 volts should come out of the switch when pressure is below 50? PSI so it is safe to say switch #2 is no good either for a different reason. Maybe if you tap on it? I guess after 60 years it can be excused for failing to work.

Great looking truck! I've been pondering your backfeed issue for a while now and I can't come up with a path ofher than the alternator. Check out the other SECM threads, one of our members figured out an easy upgrade for the governor control.

Yup, sounds like the valve may be doing it's job, and you have problems with your chambers like Steve said. Let us know how this turns out.

Looks like the inversion valve p/n 12422306. What it does from the Haldex website: Straight trucks and some tractors use an Inversion Valve which does not function during normal operation of the vehicle’s brake system but operates in the event of a primary (rear service brake) system failure...

I prefer using large vise grips with brake springs.

I forgot, can the governor cut in pressure be adjusted down some? (Check TM). Also make sure there are no leaks anywhere.

I think that the buzzer shorted out. Replace it.

Liquid cooled V8 mfg by Ford is the GAA. This is not a M41 or 47 cluster.

I believe the shoes are same a M715.

Hmm, sounds like I am wrong. I am going on an experience Wehring and I had where a collared insert was incompatible with an older med towbar. The legs had inequal lengths.

Fit, yes. Work? If you don't mind towing dog legged.

Looks like your towbar is one without reinforcing collars. Inserts WITH reinforcing collars are different length.

Yes, for the later tanks with GAA power only.

Briggs & Stratton engines were widely used during WWII to power generators, compressors and pumps. After the war, they were excessed like everything else and found their way into widespread civilian use. I run across these in garage sales, flea markets and ebay. Here is my latest refurb, a...

The Keystone Faraday device is the buzzer. The part with the Douglass connectors and the air line leading to it is the low air pressure switch, which in your case is defective. This is why it is bypassed. 24 volts from the ign switch harness should feed the low pressure switch, which then is...

Knocking on startup is not normal, likely your catastrophic engine failure is related to this. I have charged my air system with the emergency gladhand many times with no ill effects. Sounds like GP will owe you twice what you paid for it when this is all said and done.

In 2006 Stewart and Stevenson sold the FMTV line to BAE. Then in 2010 the DOD gave the FMTV contract to Oshkosh. BAE closed the Sealy, TX plant and scrapped everything FMTV related. All FMTV employees were let go. So finding anyone who can supply an engineering document listing conformance...
