It is like any usual automotive differential, but has brake bands on both output shafts to control steering.

Just making sure you understand that the two batteries have to be connected in series.

If it were me I would put those exceptional Hawkers back in and put the car batteries in something else. Congratulations on scoring a great truck. Spend a little time looking for other items that need PM.

You should be prepared for extremely expensive repairs by a Caterpillar dealership to get this running. Another member here bought a similar "won't start" A1 and it has a bad $4000 ECU. The starter is also an expensive item.

Please understand that you are asking about something on the fringe of the Steelsoldiers knowledge base (using a Miltope with a HMMWV STE-ICE), and sometimes a partial answer is enough to get someone pointed in the right direction.

HMMWV 2 man troop seats, nice, 686 tan, fiberglass slats, pair $100. Must pre-arrange.

You will want to have that hauled to your port, as it does not run.

Did you get the one that recently sold on ebay? My finger was hovering over buy it now quite a while.

Interesting. Looks to be aluminum? Is the upper cabin a civilian add on? 8-71 Detroit power? The numbers on the stern mean something, obviously the 36 is the length, maybe the 68 is the build year. I've worked on PBRs and wood Higgins boats but nothing like that. I think it may be a what...

Courtesy Stonepicker and GP (nope monkeyboyarmy) if I recall.

I have noticed that as well. Sounds like a very good plan to rotate every 6 months.

870 won't couple to a HET unless you move the fifth wheel way back.

What sound did the pump make when it was unable to raise the cab?

Welcome. Ah the old Spartan box with all the screw terminals. I would open it and look for anything obvious, like moisture damage. The box is not easy to find these days. You may have to replace with the newer style like the manual suggests.

In the realm of fixing Allison transmissions, that price is not bad. Assuming they warrant that the problem is solved for that quote.

I suspect the keypad has water in it. Can you swap it with a known good one?

The second procedure is correct. The steel bearings get stuck in the aluminum bore due to dissimilar metal corrosion. It will take a lot of beating to get the worm out with both bearings stuck.
