    M38, M38A1, M151 windshield Glass dimensions

    The problem with your business plan is that for what you will have to charge your customers for packaging materials and shipping, they can go down to the local glass shop and have them cut the standard safety glass to match the application. There is nothing special about the flat safety glass...

    NEW FL. MK48s

    When you get a chance, can you guys tell us who know nothing about these trucks exactly what is involved with attempting to line up the holes perfectly. Seems like it might be very difficult, and I would imagine you cannot drive the bolts in with a BFH.

    Gama Goat -yes or no???

    Please don't think a goat is "Low Maintenance". They needed a lot of repair when they were new, even after having been debugged. The brakes work just fine in my opinion. I don't like having to "un-steer" coming out of turns. The steering is not self correcting.

    Welcome to the site. The serial numbers cannot be of assistance. No records exist as to what serial number vehicles were used at what location. The USN registration number, which may be painted on the hood under your yellow paint, is part of the truck's provinance, but again, records as to...

    XM211 Recovery trip

    The problem is all in the reduction unit, the ring gear clutch is stuck on, as long as the planetary clutch is released for low range you are good, but when the planetary clutch engages for high range, both are engaged at the same time, locking the transmission. The ring gear clutch is the one...

    FWD Wheel mount Military crane

    That is the nicest old crane I have ever seen. Looks very well maintained. Also, it is a later M20 "B" model. A little newer than the M20A which was a early 50's model.

    Replace windsield glass on M54A2 & XM211 Tips please

    There was originally some felt material in between the glass and the frame. My opinion is that this is old technology and holds moisture against the metal. I have been using all black silicone to seal the glass in place. I use some of the old felt material as a spacer to get the glass...

    XM211 Recovery trip

    Have you ever tried this? Get it rolling in low range and then shift to high with the truck in motion? My M135 does like yours sometimes and the unorthodox fix is what I described. It is a Godawful bang when the clutch pops loose.
