    Draining all fluids

    The only thing maintenance wise that will kill you on APCs is the rear door. Disconnect the lines from the hydraulic cylinder, unlatch the door while standing under it and you will meet your maker.

    Absolute Last thing a moving college graduate could possibly need: Possible M246 Rescue

    Those things are huge and heavy. Worst of all they are old. All hoses and cylinder packings are shot. Maybe cylinder rods need rechroming. You need 11 expensive 12.00-20 tires. All new wiring. New torque rod ends. Think long and hard before moving on this.

    New early deuce owners in Oklahoma *Lucy*

    Yes, since the winch is the same as M35A2 deuce, every single part is available from numerous sources. And, lots of folks are looking for these winches to equip M35A2 trucks with a winch that is not equipped with one.

    Identify these aluminum fmtv wheels
