    You have to use tombstone ammo cans. They slide into a dovetail mount. If you need a generator, PM me.

    My county fire truck

    Nice truck, looks like the assignee takes great pride in it! Hopefully one day you can buy your old truck and have her live on in her 3rd life, that of a rolling tribute to our armed forces!

    Two questions regarding gear ratio's

    A "c" option is the Gearvendors overdrive. More money but a lot less work than ratio changes.

    M818 Trans noise

    Yup, you got a dying throwout bearing. No lube point. Will have to pull the trans out and replace. Rent a heavy duty transmission jack, it will make the job easier.

    M1008 pintle hitch

    I once towed my D-3 Cat dozer on a 3 axle pintle trailer behind my CUCV. It didn't break off. (21,000 towed weight, 1000 tongue weight) Took it reallly slow . . .

    A Couple of Hot Laps in the M929A2

    Sounds good. Looks like your doors were all rusted on top, mine were the same way on my '92 M931A2, looks like the lame vendor for the doors did a crappy job with metal prep prior to paint . . . Any luck with the CTIS?

    Should I buy this? 1956 deuce

    It's a WWII International M-5-6, of which open cabs were built 43, 44 and 45. The truck is 100% IH except for the bed which was Gar Wood. The engine is a Green Diamond 318 CID. Used by the Navy and USMC. Not sure what is going on on the back, looks like a set no. 7 wrecker maybe. Should...

    M211 Q's

    Sorry, airmech, about the bad deal offered at SECO. They must have thought you were some foriegn government or something. Swing by there and see them in person, see if you can walk the yard, and point out some tires in a mudpuddle and shoot an offer at them.

    Tranny Failure, atleast it happened close to home.

    I would advise replacing the pilot bearing in the flywheel. Looks like it might have suffered with the input shaft all over the map like that.

    M915A1 Manuals Wanted

    Got the 9-2320-283-10 Operators in today, it is helpful. I don't know about you guys but I am so looking forward to owning a truck where most parts can be sourced at any heavy truck parts house. Doubt I will need the -20P and -34P books to maintain this big girl.

    M211 Q's

    Back in the day they had probably 30 ACRES of deuces, and thats just the G742 type, they had GMC's, 5 tons, WWII heavies, M4 high speed tractors, you name it. They have trimmed down a lot. The really old yard looks like it is still there from Google Satellite, it is off 520 behind the...

    Bought a M915A1 today

    Armyman30yearsplus (Dave) spoke of confiscating "buttons" from the injector pumps, I think they upped the governors to 2400 rpms, that might be where the speed came from. reb87, do you plan on driving yours back home? I am toying with the idea, it is 1100 miles for me. I am going to try to...
