    Is anyone familiar with the M915A1 Line Haul Truck?

    Sorry to be a party pooper, the bottom of the radiator is about a 18" off the pavement, no straight shot to the front of the crank.

    cheap 10 ton

    As far as having it hauled, with the outer duals removed it is not overwidth, and is basically the same footprint as a deuce, so figure on $1.50 to $2.00/mile, the usual rates.

    That is a screaming bargain. Enigne is V-8 Cummins, 300 hp.

    M656 triangular o-ring between tire and wheel

    Me thinks the o-ring started life round, but has "taken a set" as they say. I got my o-rings from a industrial supply house that specializes in o-rings for every application. They will want to know dimensions and material to match it.

    Is anyone familiar with the M915A1 Line Haul Truck?

    PTO aperture = PTO plate = PTO hole. Power tower is the correct term for "splitter box". I'm sure you can mount a wet kit, but I am not clear on the amount of shaft hp that can be transfered by the transmission PTO. Every oilfield service vacuum pump I have ever seen has been a big son of a...

    i think my tranny went out

    Snarky you are being really optimistic. If the truck moves forward when in neutral, the transmission has some serious issues. Bondo, if the racket goes away when you mash the clutch, then you can eliminate the clutch as a problem. Nothing is spinning in the transmission when you mash the...

    M35 trek from Florida to Texas=FAIL

    Moral of story: Don't buy trucks 4 states away from you when you can buy the same thing in your own state for the same price.

    Is anyone familiar with the M915A1 Line Haul Truck?

    I checked for you, there is a PTO aperture, it is pointing towards the driver, with about 6" of room between the cover and the floorboards. Every vacuum truck I have ever seen has a driveline PTO, i.e. a splitter box between the transmission and rears. There is no room for this on this...

    Sorry about that. Yup, there is zero security at Pineville (Camp Beauregard) in the GL accumulation area.

    Questions re: Replacement Track Pads

    Almost all of the common collected vehicles use either the endless band track (halftrack, weasel, Cletrac) or steel track with the rubber molded in (M5 Stuart, M5 High Speed tractor, Sherman). The M113 APC and other more modern AFV's have pads, but there are very few of those in collector...

    Take-out HMMWV engines?

    What has anyone been doing with these? Selling the containers for animal feed troughs? Is there a market for 6.2 cores?

    M5 High Speed Tractor info.

    Please post pictures! Welcome to the site. What are you asking for the tracks? You will know if you have an A4 because it is wider than a M5 at 9 feet 7 inches. It has extensions welded to the tracks. Also has doors all down the sides.

    Does anybody know what Radio Set came with the M75 APC?

    Nice resto Hellonwheels. The picture is a AN/GRC-8. This is with interphone amplifier. These radios are available from various sources, the old standby is Fair Radio Sales. ida34 is correct, to transmit with one of these is not legal.

    HELP ME!!! broke front axle (i think)

    Nothing special about the 2 1/2 ton axle, it's just bigger than the Dana 60. Just tear into it until you find the exploded parts and then get ready to give the credit card a workout.

    Does anybody know what Radio Set came with the M75 APC?

    I think the AN/VRC18, which consists of the RT68 Receiver/Transmitter, PP112 power supply, and R-108 Aux receiver. This is 1950's tube type equipment that operates on FM 38-55 mhz. The radio cases have "bumps".

    Gmc cckw 353 2 1/2 ton cargo body

    Uh, 1 ton = 2000 lbs last time I checked. emr and others, how did this turn into a CCKW vs G742 thread? Both are kick butt 6x6's. Paul is correct, CCKW's were authorized huge overloads on the Red Ball Express and other supply lines during WWII. After the war, here in the US, the surplus...
