    repower options for M123 tractor

    The Cummins 855 CID inline 6 engines are too long. The engine compartment is not much bigger than a mulitfuel 5 ton. He is looking at great complexity attempting to mate a newer engine to the Mack transmission/transfer unit. I would say find another LeRoi, the surplus dealers will be happy to...

    help on bumper markings?

    Congrats on a great truck, a multifuel truck going through depot overhaul that late in time is a rarity. Looks to have CARC paint job. In Viet Nam, the M54/A0/A1/A2 carried everything imaginable used by the troops, from ammo to rations. Some were equipped as "gun trucks" which provided convoy...

    M931 Transfer Case Noise and Lockup

    Unfortunate. Verify it is the transfer case by draining it and see how many teeth come out the hole. It could also be an axle. The bright side is that lots of transfer cases were saved from the hundreds of Mississippi trucks that were scrapped. It's no fun to swap one, I can tell you.

    Any experience with Nankang N870 tires?

    No idea about Nankang tires, but at least they are not chinese. Tell us about these blowouts. You're having blowouts in the few blocks between the strip and your facility?

    If it were me I would flush the water side with diesel and then fill both sides with the recommended cornhead grease and call it done.

    What Model 1977 Dodge CUCV do I actually have?

    My guess is that USMC wanted a lockable vehicle that you could work inside of. The reason I know about this vehicle is that I have a buddy that was in the Marines in the 1980s and he was the armorer, and was assigned this vehicle. They would transport and repair small arms with it. His comment...

    Marines call them "paper clips".

    trailer identification M100?

    Yes, it's a M100. Could have been pulled by a M151A2, but most M100s had been replaced by M416s by the 1970s. M100s were made in the early 1950s to go with M38s and M38A1s.

    M35A2 Lights

    Circuit breaker inside the 3 lever light switch is cycling. It could be a momentary short to ground somewhere, too much load, or a weak circuit breaker.

    What Model 1977 Dodge CUCV do I actually have?

    The USMC ordered these as contact maintenance trucks. This is one of them. The brass data plate is a Navy thing.

    Gyro-Flow IR GRB-125 Running questions

    Mine is a Sullair so it is similar but not the same. I suspect someone who did not know what they were doing tried to fix your compressor and changed some linkages around because they missed the leaking copper pipe.

    Gyro-Flow IR GRB-125 Running questions

    I'll tell you how my gas Sullair 125 works. When you start the engine, the throttle is wide open and the unloader valve is wide open. It runs like this until it reaches 125 PSI or so, at which time the pressure control gradually simultaneously closes the unloader and moves the throttle to...
