I've used the medium tow bar to tow DUKWs with no issues, don't use the feet, just put the end of the tow bar over the tow shackle on the front of the DUKW, extend out the tow bar somewhat, and go. I found you can tow it faster than it can propel itself.

Well the inspection must not have been from the local environmental agency, because they would have had a fit over dumping all the oil out on the floor and then using absorbant to clean it up and send it to the landfill, where it will leach into the groundwater for the next 1000 years.

Go with the Milemarker military winch. Lots of surplus availability right now. Is yours a 6.5 turbocharged?

Barrman is right. They were fragile back when I started messing with M715s in 1980. The fiberglass must have been really poor. The truck will cool just fine without it, and few judges will ding you much for that being missing, if the rest of the truck is 100%.

M16ty and emmado22 you guys are absolutely correct and I was wrong. The winch is plumbed in series with the steering gear after the winch. Port "P" on the valve is the high side. The Milemarker website has a good troubleshooting guide with plumbing diagrams in the "military" section.

Here are the pics you requested. All of the lines are the same as steel brake lines available from your auto parts store.

Same way. 30 hand turns with the manual crank with mags off.

Yes, you have the right idea. Make sure you post up pics of the completed winch installation so the rest of us don't have to reinvent the wheel . . .

Not sure about the exterior, but the inside of the cab is original 24087 after years of exposure. Nice truck!

The bellhousing needs to be attached to the transmission before you install on the engine!

You are missing the rubber isolation mount between the transmission and crossmember. You need to fully assemble the fork on the trans before you stab the transmission. Use a piece of wire to retain tension on the spring. The observation hole is not intended for servicing the throwout...

Yes it is a Hummer H1 and not a HMMWV. AM General was pitching the H1s to govt and industry. The 2 door stripped version cost about 35K in '98.

I don't think you are missing any lines, just 2 ea 90 degree fittings, flare to pipe, that thread into the lower part of the pump, which is the fuel pump. There should not be a hose on the line coming from the fuel tank. It should attach directly to the fuel pump. You will need to rebuild...

Guys help me out here, what all was/is available to our troops in this regard? I know about the mermite can, those aluminum 4 foot square? ice boxes, and skid mount walk in coolers and van reefers . . . Anything else? I ask because I just spotted a nice Igloo brand huge plastic cooler in OD...

Yup. The vin is actually 3009. But on the data plate from when the trailer was overhauled, the depot had stamped NXOECC3009, which is the registration number combined with the vin. Since it was already stamped this way, that is what I put on the request for SF97. I think in this case the...

I'm impressed! When did you get your first M915A1? I have just known complete ones to be be released within the last few years?

VIN 1GBHD34J3GF435537 NSN 2320011232665 Reg number NG1M2D CUCV M1031 90CR 420E 959E EN9 Came from Red River Arsenal DRMO Thanks in advance.

Looks to be a very early USMC dropside. Marines were the first to have the dropside bed. Bit of a shame to part it out.

Civilian lowboys have used this tire size since the 1950's. Hundreds of them were sold on the rim at Red River (Hooks, TX) last year. I got 10 for spares for my M172A1. If you Google the tire size you will come up companies with manufacture them new such as Michelin, Toyo.

So where did they end up? I hate to ask . . .
