    What is This

    It's worth that. Check the shipper (boom extension) carefully for bends. The broken cable and extended shipper are warning signs of trying to lift too much.

    Just got part of a halftrack for $350

    Welcome to the site. We all have to start with something. You did OK with your purchase because the tracks are worth that even if they are not that great. As far as what model this was, that will be tricky. The very back of the frame will tell you if it was a M2, M2A1 or M4 or M4A1 (short)...

    Up in Smoke - Not the movie, my alternator

    Hyster 4000 lb forklift, gas or LPG, any info on model, weight, etc.?

    Wow. Here in TX, if equipment runs, it is working, and not selling for scrap. The oilpatch is alive and well here.

    Hyster 4000 lb forklift, gas or LPG, any info on model, weight, etc.?

    This is a very fine unit. The Hyster website has a serial number decoder for year built, engine, options, etc. These sell for full retail value when they come up on GL, I have yet to find a bargain to replace my Cat V40B.

    M123a1c rarity

    I paid $2200 for mine last year. I have not fired it up yet, but looks to be OK. Came from Forestry fire duty. The transmission/transfer is a single unit and designed for the engine. Good luck trying to mate a different power plant to it. At this point, these trucks are museum pieces.

    Increasing the fording capabilites of the Deuce AND reducing the fording PMCS

    The DUKW guys that spend years on end driving in and out of water have found that pressurizing the axles with about 2 psi will keep the water out of the axles.

    Help With Identity of Old WW2 Diesel Generator On Trailer.

    I think that set was intended for stationary mounting and not a field deployable unit. There would have been no enclosure. The set is civilian design, using the Cat diesel D-??? from a motor grader I believe.

    grease leak M915a1

    Pop the seal out and take it to any heavy duty parts house, they will have it on the shelf.

    m211 leak

    Black oil= rear main leak. Red oil= Transmission oil leak. Green antifreeze= OMG you have a real problem. The drain plug is not there to retain a bellhousing full of oil. The bellhousing should be dry. Trans oil could be coming from the torus housing or front pump seal.

    How do I identify my M151A2 ?

    Maybe, but the MERDC Army camo and lack of USMC rear hub caps says Army.
