    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    This is awesome! Your truck is beautiful, love what you’ve done to personalize it for your family, but the best part is seeing the interest your son has in working on it. Total Thumbs-Up sir!

    M936 Outriggers, Collar Pin? & This thing called RUST

    After removing rear outriggers on my M246, they appear to be similar to this drawing…the side outriggers on M246 are identical to this drawing. Mullaney thank you for posting your trials/tribulations/photos of your outriggers! I keep returning here for questions about the outriggers on my M246...

    M246 Revival

    I replied via PM to your manual info. The little filter seems to be doing fine so far; I don’t get out of first gear around my property & it seems to keep up with the demands from the crane. If not I’ll probably see if I can restore the stock frame-mounted filter. I do believe the old gasser...

    Thanks! The second photo is my actual truck, from the auction house that listed it.

    M246 Revival

    Thank you sir! Yes I have all those, and they are all missing the sections I listed above. The only manual I don’t have is what Will mentioned he used on his museum’s ASMH: TM 9-8029-3. I do have a good copy of the original TM 9-8028, but not 9-8029-3. I also tracked down a PDF of A-W...

    By chance would you have the TM # available for the 819? I haven’t been able to locate it… I’ve scrolled through so many thousands of pages that I probably overlooked it. Thank you!

    M246 Revival

    I appreciate the kind words and if you’re able to source something that shows the missing info, it would be much appreciated! I’ve searched through all the Austin-Western & M62 threads I could pull up in Search; I have downloaded copies of the 9-2320-211-35, but no specific info for the items I...

    There were some flatbed trailers intended for this truck, but pics are few & far between. A few pics in this thread. NDT has a couple of interesting pics here. A few more of a trailer auction here.

    LOL it has been exactly 12 months since I got in in my shop bay….Life keeps getting in the way & kicking me where it hurts! I try to get done what I can when I can….

    That’s what I am inclined to believe…

    M246 Revival

    The rear outriggers needed attention, as it seemed like they were one solid unit inside the rectangular steel housing, and wouldn’t line up with the holes to insert travel pins into, nor would they extend out enough to both deploy at the same time. After reading through the many threads on M816...

    M246 Revival

    In the meantime I decided to tackle the rear outriggers; whenever I would push/pull on one side, the other side would respond as if they were one solid unit. They were in fact two separate pieces but rusted together. I spent several full days researching TMs (-10, -20, -20P, -35, -34P, et al)...

    M246 Revival

    Master cylinder and AirPak booster bled out fine, but when I finished bleeding rear wheel cylinders (and tightening up leaking connections), a puddle of DOT-5 formed at the right rear-rear tire where it met the concrete floor….UGH. I pulled the axle shaft and drum/hub, to find that the locating...

    Purchased a remote brake reservoir kit from Big Mike’s and installed it. Looks like I was ready to start filling with DOT-5 and bleeding rear wheel cylinders!

    M246 Revival

    The two rubber brake hoses from the split valve block to the axles had been disconnected when I got it, and I couldn’t see through the split valve block mounted to the frame crossmember…it seems that it was plugged or blocked with something. So, it was a 2-day adventure to remove it, fix it...
