    My Abandoned M715

    Lots of potential there. Probably get it running in no time. Amazing how unless the immigrants can use it somehow, things just go undisturbed out there. By humans anyhow, I see the rodents have been busy.

    Would you toss these 395 ' s and get new ones?

    The MVTs are much less likely to get cracked like that. If you're going to do a lot of high speed driving, I would replace what you got. Farm/trail/local use they are fine.

    Upside down "C" welded on the bottom of the deuce bed

    I didn't, this is an original! I would use one of those pedestal benders.

    Upside down "C" welded on the bottom of the deuce bed

    Here you go, sorry it took me a while. If I have left out a dim, PM me and I will add it. The pdf has 4 pages, scroll down when you open it.

    Warn winch western NY to AZ (or maybe GA)

    I had mine UPS'd, cable in one box and the winch in the other. I think it cost around $150.

    Fort Hood (Killeen) TX recoveries, I'm here if you need help.

    Are you doing preview/evaluations as well?

    Anyone have a picture of how the rear axles on a deuce locate to the rocker beams?

    Not sure what you mean by rocker beams. Do you mean torque rods/dog bones?

    What is the bare minimum/essentials?

    A tree with an overhanging branch, a comealong, and a socket set.

    Singling out a m917 dump

    Has anyone put FMTV wheels on the front of the M920 M917 M916? Maybe the drum grinding would not be required since the FMTV rims are not as thick.

    Need help with 361 M75

    Define "a little gas". When I attempt to get a dormant engine running, I will dump about 1/2 pint down the carb. When it busts off, it will run for about 10 seconds with that much.

    Bidding on a truck that won't start even with a jump.

    If you visit the auction results thread, you will quickly conclude that LOTS of bidders are assuming the truck will run based on the bids being much higher than scrap value. My GL reps tell me previews are few and far between.

    Need help with 361 M75

    Been there many times. The trick with the thumb over the hole was shown to me by a Mexican immigrant after I had wasted much of a day trying to get a 351W to run after being rebuilt. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

    Need help with 361 M75

    I vaguely remember the M75 is reverse rotation to a typical V8. Did the rebuilder use an aftermarket cam that maybe is all wrong? Is the starter aftermarket and turning the engine the wrong way? Do this: pull all 8 plugs, reconnect to the wires, and place on the intake. Grab the remote...

    Need help with 361 M75

    You need to fill the carb with gas and prime the intake with a little gas. Ether alone won't do it.

    HMMWV questions

    I am no expert but I think the limitation in the powertrain is the differentials. As the weight of the trucks has gotten more and more with uparmor, AMG had to progressively add oil capacity, cooling fins to the cover, and a remote cooling circuit. And this is just to survive 15,000 lbs GVW...

    1953 M37 Won't start need advice

    A 24 volt starter will not work with 12 volts, so it's pretty certain the starter is 12 volt. Looks like it in the picture. The batteries are connected in parallel to give you more cold cranking amps. Really not needed unless you live in the arctic.

    1953 M37 Won't start need advice

    The battery connections look really bad. Disassemble and clean the post to stud adapters and the terminals at the end of the cables. You have a 12 volt conversion, the two batteries are parallel connected.

    Spain M35 Registration

    hbear, here in the US we have what is called "certificate of title", it is a government issued document that contains the manufacturer, serial number, type of vehicle, and the name of the owner. No documents are issued with the vehicle that list anything about the engine emission or safety of...

    CARC paint supplier

    That paint is not CARC, it is enamel and not a very good match to 383 CARC. I suspect you know this already.
