    Is it the M Gator?

    Don't think so. Missing tiedowns on the front bumper and data tag should say "MIL".

    fifth wheel assembly informations

    I agree with this. Holland did not make the original fifth wheel on these trucks. Dayton Steel Foundry did. Holland made the fifth when that was used to replace the original starting in the 80's.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    I thought the consensus was 3.07 IS ideal? How much faster than 65 do you want to cruise? The deal at MTP is you ship them your chunks ($150) and they ship them back all 3.07ed up. If you let them do the chunk pulling, the price goes up. Joe is POC at MTP.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    Why would anybody want to have gearsets made or install takeouts when brand new Meritor gearsets can be installed by MTP Drivetrain for $1750 per axle?

    M-1083 just front tires spin in mud not rear

    Welcome to the site. You need to engage "Mode" on the WTEC controller to lock the inter-axle differential and the transfer case.

    Convert m172A1 to 17.5 wheels

    That wheel is most likely what is being supplied. If you plan on using the trailer commercially, that is the way to go.

    Remove paint but leave CARC!

    Rapco may match color but it is WAY OFF on flatness. You want CARC substitute from ArmyTankGuy on ebay.

    M151a2

    Looks really good. I would guess the side turn signal was tastefully added by a civilian owner in order to comply with European lighting standards. Some import cars here are starting to have that even though it is not required here.

    Bought some 98% take-offs, and noticed the 8 bolt wheels.

    Try Feltz Tire, they are closer to you. Needs to go 4 on pallet motor freight not UPS etc. Pick up at terminal to save on freight.

    M135 - Why is my Transfer Lever Stuck in the Neutral Position?

    That your transfer is in neutral like you suspect.

    M135 - Why is my Transfer Lever Stuck in the Neutral Position?

    The one between the Hydramatic and the transfer case.

    M1082

    I have a trailer that has a restriction in the emergency line (bug nest?). It takes about 10 minutes for the prime mover to fill the trailer tank sufficiently to release the spring brakes.

    M135 - Why is my Transfer Lever Stuck in the Neutral Position?

    Is the Hydramatic shifting into all 4 gears when you accelerate? You can also verify the transfer is in neutral by spinning the jackshaft by hand, if you can spin it at all, yes the transfer is in neutral.

    Convert m172A1 to 17.5 wheels

    Welcome to the site. To answer your question, yes, tubeless rims for the 6 hole Budd pattern exist for this trailer, DOD has been installing them on fresh 172A1 rebuilds at Red River Arsenal. I have no idea where to source them however. Meanwhile, the 10.00-15 LPT tires are quite plentiful...

    Remove paint but leave CARC!

    That aircraft paint stripper will lift the CARC. I attempted to remove spray can paint number stencils I painted on a door and the results were poor. It bubbled the CARC before I could wash it off.

    Windshield pivot assembly bolt removal.

    He's talking about the windshield pivot hinges that allow the windshield to fold down on the hood.

    M1088a1 wtech lll no power check trans light on

    Oh I see when you said you swapped the WTECIII you meant the keypad only. I thought you meant the ECU. That makes sense. Send your broken ECU to transmissioninstruments.com for free diagnosis. He can fix them most of the time.

    m1078 pinion seal fail pinion nut torque specs

    Sorry I should have been clearer. Bubble test means put a wet rag soaked in dishwashing soap or Mr Bubble from your kids bathtub over the hole and see if bubbles are blown. There won't be bubbles in the oil.
