    Checking the FMTV fan system

    Ok something strange. I unplugged the Temp. switch wire engine running and my rear fans came on and the engine fan was already engaged. I plugged it back together and the rear fans stopped and the engine fan disengaged for the first time. When I had the Temp. switch unplugged and the rear fans...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Since I don't play with married woman or going in to battle thought I would add some color. Plus dug through the parts and found the new air dryer that will be installed soon.

    Incorrect Year on Title ??? California Registration Assistance?

    Wrong year is better than the wrong make. My title says it is a Stanley Steamer. It's a MTV M1088. How the fudge someone got that from S&S I will never know. Good drugs or bad whisky I guess.

    Checking the FMTV fan system

    Yea I am not getting any air out of the line that connects to the clutch. I hope it is just the water temp switch, If there is a big problem I will just convert it to a manual air switch. Something like that is on a Deuce front axle ingagement. They also make one for the drop axle or air tail...

    Assistance with ID of Air Spring

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Serviced/ drained and filled with new fluid all three axles and hubs. Started in on the cab ripping out the padding and taking care of the small rust that was there. Used the Ospho rust converter on the rust for now and will get out the power wire brush and see how much of the undercoating they...

    LMTV M1088 how to prime fuel

    What about a snake. Right on top of the secondary. It's a bolt with an O ring. I pulled it all the way out to bleed.

    LMTV M1088 how to prime fuel

    Know it has been awhile and you got it figured out but the bleed screw/bolt is on top of the secondary filter. In most cases we would change both filters at the same time. Then that way we would be clearing out the air in both filters at the same time.

    New too me.

    Just started on the tractor. Took out all seats and padding. Washed out all the dirt. I should remove the two boxes and do the cab right.
