    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Guess that little tiny 7-Ton will just have to be "your fix" then for a little while :cool: You could always ride the M1123 in the back of the MTVR... Toys are Fun!!! Tim

    Balancing Tires - What About This?

    I have to agree that 5.5k is pretty rich for a dozen tires in a year. I am cheap. If I can find something used, I would be willing to try that. I found one in Florida @ GovDeals. Just wondering... Sure seems like a better plan than beads Might even find somebody local that could...

    The Once And For All On Batteries...

    Hoses / Cables (similar enough?) Strangely enough, the M1088 with 4 batteries that were replaced (after the thief stole mine) had a charging problem. I went to the local parts store months ago. Bought 4 twelve inch "lugged ended cables". I attached them to the batteries with lots of help...

    Balancing Tires - What About This?

    I remember before computer tire balancing for automobile vehicles was around. There was a piece of equipment that would roll up to the wheel, spin the tire, add weights, spin the tire again, etc. I remember being told that sort of balancing included the wheel and tire AND it also included...

    Tips and advice for new owners

    Well said, although if the factory fuel filter housing starts leaking you will be doing a spin on filter mod... wound up having to do that on my 85 m1008 . A spin-on filter for oil or fuel is a good upgrade. On the other hand, if what you have works and doesn't leak... you might say why. .

    MTVR Transmission Dipstick

    Hi Ellis6 , Your note mentions receiving a MK23 back in November. I see that you are a new member - so WELCOME to the group. Be sure to post a few pictures of your new toy - and maybe a picture of the tube where the missing dipstick should be. That might give a better idea of exactly where...

    Just received 3 RACAL ACOUSTIC RA 5000/1/6400 Headsets and need to know what else i need to put intercom sys in cab?

    Oh wow. Looks to me like that is a "whole 'nuther world" of learning. I saw something a while back on the forums that mentioned using a VIC 1 or a VIC3 that made some sort of attachment to a cell phone. Wonder if that would allow communication using a military headset? And then possibly...

    New Member - Piscataway, NJ - 2002 M1083 (need direction)

    I have to start by saying that I am not in New Jersey. In my opinion, the CAT dealer really isn't going to fix anything except the power plant. That is what they work on mostly so if you need that sort of service they could be a resource. CAT engines should use CAT filters. Yes, you can get...

    Rust is the enemy!

    The ATF/Acetone mixture seems to have been slowly eating away (loosening) the rust as best I can tell. It is in between the outrigger tubes that are stuck inside the "slide tubes". It's is a big hunk of metal about 40 inches long and about 8" wide and maybe 10" tall. There are 4 on this...

    Rust is the enemy!

    Rust Question: For several months now I have been regularly spraying a combination of ATF and Acetone in between two pieces of metal. Two square tubes that fit inside one of the other. Something similar to a trailer "hitch" and the "receiver" it fits in... Problem is definitely is rust...

    My Mailbox?

    Got a note asking that another member should "clear your mailbox" so I can send you a message. Are there tools for that? A place to look for it? All I see is the "envelope" icon to see personal messages. I see 5 and a very few pages of PM's (messages). Am I missing something here? Tim...
