The pass seat looks correct, you need the little cast hinge brackets. The drivers looks ok, cant really tell from the photo, the left front leg should rest in the door opening.

Would this work? Assume the gen is 120 V 400Hz, hook the output to a rectifier and change to DC, then be able to charge 10 ea 12V batteries in series?

Tell us about the 915's. Lots of us are picking these up lately. Lonesome715 used to send us pics and ops reports of these in Iraq. We are getting the AM General ones, not the Freightliners. Everything we are hearing is that they are taking a beating and still doing the job, even being 28...

Sweet 170 in super shape! Mullins Jeep Parts has the original tops.

Anyone who scored one these units from Ft Polk will be very happy, they are all fresh "RESET" rebuilds from a Cummins authorized facility. Paint is very nice. Hours are run in since overhaul. All the tan ones were identical. Price ended up around 1100 for the 5kW's before fees.

Sandcobra, I'm not trying to poo-poo what you guys are doing. I think most of us out here in civi land just don't understand what these trucks are subjected to, and why the gov't is always getting rid of 6.2's and 6.5's with low miles but totally shot.

The click is the bi-metallic thermal circuit breaker snapping open. Bypassing it as you say and installing a greater than 20 amp fuse sounds good.

And we wonder how 6.2's can be shot at 30,000 miles . . .

And we wonder how the frame rails get full of mud . . .

Here is a pic of this old M37. She is a 1952, and had a hard life on the farm before spending lots of time under a tree. Neat features: radio connector in the bed, fording control, slave receptacle, early 3 lever light switch. I tried to convince sloryd to scrap it but he gave me the evil...

Welcome and thanks for checking in. There were a couple members "over there" who were checking in here but they are all back stateside. Would love for you to let us all know how things are going over there and what you are facing maintenance wise. Pictures are highly appreciated!

There is no military equivalent to a civilian pintle pull dovetail tagalong trailer.

I have done this many times. The M37's front wheels will not follow going around a corner. They will stay straight and scrub. Otherwise no big deal.

CommercialTruckTrader.com is the markeplace for those, new and used, also available in print at your local C-store. A 14 ton tagalong will run you about $10K new.

Kyle, the earliest CONEX, which now I know thanks to this thread was in use before Viet Nam, is 8'6" long, 6'3" wide, and 6'10" high. Should be way under 13'8" bridge minimum in a deuce. As others have mentioned, there are several generations of more modern versions of these in use now. I...

Yup, did some shopping up at Beauregard too, suffice it to say the two conexes will be riding on a new trailer coming home.

Don't feel bad, one day soon you will be so good at this that all it will take is a glimpse of OD under a tarp as you drive by and you will be slamming on the brakes to see what it is . . .

It is a single wheel M135 but it looks like the bed and frame have been stretched??? Pass on it if that is the case.

HMMWV bodies are rivited and glued. When you try to pull the panels apart after drilling the zillion rivits, you have to drive a chisel between the parts to separate them. This ruins the panels. There are a couple guys on ebay who have their hands in the proverbial mutilated scrap cookie...
