    M113 Track Pads and Spark Plugs....

    B3.3T is using the mil designation "M75" (correctly 75M) of the 361 Chrysler V-8 engine that is used in the early M113 APC. He is not referring to the engine in the M75 APC which as you know is the AO-895. There are no civi hotrod parts for the 895, it is a hotrod already!

    Voltage selector switch for 1031?

    What I would do is remove the rotary switch from the control panel, and, using an ohmmeter/ continuity tester, write down which terminals connect and disconnect in all the switch positions, and then compare that to the connection diagram in the Marathon tech sheet.

    Voltage selector switch for 1031?

    I cannot answer your immediate question, but I would not assume the wire numeric designations from the 1960's MEP are the same as the newer Marathon alternator. I would compare the schematic of the switch with the required connections from the SECM alternator, which are in the tech data sheets...

    Need help with Identification on my M422A1

    I see the data plate is not attached to the truck. Was it ever riveted on? I stand by my assertion that your vehicle was a 1960's prototype of a civilian Mite, done in house by AMC. Seems like AM General tried this a second time, with the H1 "Hummer".

    Need help with Identification on my M422A1

    Wow! Your Mite appears to be a American Motors "CJ" prototype to explore the civilian marketplace. My guess anyway.

    M880 Dana 44 axle seal confusion

    There is a kit to rebuild the wheel bearings that includes the retainer, seals, bearings and most importantly, an instruction sheet. You need this kit. Saturn may have some.

    Looking for Mighty Mite info/value

    I would drop a grand on that in 1 second. Looks like a perfect candidate to preserve and save.

    Does Anyone Remember?????????

    I had never seen a pile of empty whiskey bottles that high before. I remember the surplus all in school buses and piled on the ground.

    Help on CCKW brake problems

    It is the hydrovac. Did someone install an oversized unit?

    Winch Brackets?

    Sounds like a good price to me. A sheet metal shop will charge you much much more to duplicate them.

    help with title!!!

    TXDMV won't give you a bonded title if there is a good title on record. Y'all are being too paranoid. I bought this spectacular title-less M54A2 from a fellow SS'r and low and behold, the bonded title arrived in the mail today. Usual story, did not apply for a SF-97. Sure the bonded title...

    help with title!!!

    Timesaver for Texas residents doing a bonded title: Mail the 130 and 270 forms to the DMV office, rather than going there and standing in line.

    How long have you had your HUMVEE

    It was a pre-production prototype, one of 14 or so that AM General sent to the crusher. Lets just say somehow they escaped that fate. Mine had a severely bent frame and lots of other problems from being torture tested.

    M43 generator

    Looks like a nice ambulance. Military could have made a radio carrier out of it, that would explain the 100 amp system. No civilian agency would have gone through the azz ache of installing it. If the system has a low growl sound to it, it is working. Watch out for the selenium pile...

    Is it safe to lift "CBC LIFT ONLY" ?

    "CBC lift only" means don't pick it up if there is something inside.

    M915 and electical drain

    The transformer-rectifier charges the forward two batteries all by itself. Very slowly I might ad, at 15 amps or so. After starting the truck, the battery voltage will very slowly creep up to 13.8 or so, but will be greater than the voltage when the batteries are resting.
