The government standardized on the gear oil for logistical reasons (so I've read), but IIRC Spicer recommended a 50 wt gear train oil for that transmission and guys have had good performance using that type of oil instead. Someday I'll put in some Lucas or Schaeffers 50 wt geartrain oil for...

I drove it to work today. It always looks bigger on the pavement and next to other rigs...

The butcher truck that would come out to butcher our cattle had a similar setup to what I think you're talking about. It swung out from against the back door of the refer cargo box. It was strong enough to lift a 2000 lb bull (minus the guts)

Wouldn't the first version of the M929 and the A1 variant come with the NHC-250 that could have jakes added on?

Item #18 is also listed as a check valve and that one may be on the fluid side...?

FWIW - TM 9-2320-260-34-1 for M809 series dated October 1972. Air pack view lists a double check valve (item #2)

Here is a video of the first test of the modified tire crane. I put on my sexy steel pot helmet in case something snapped overhead, but everything went fine and there were no hang ups or hesitations with any of the equipment. Tire crane in motion

it would be super easy to replace one bolt at a time once you get the right size

I was surprised at how big the rust flakes can get. I found some that came from the reservoir tank and got lodged in the small hose going to the oil cooler that were just as wide as the hose ID! This was one of the lesser flakes

If you don't mind sharing, what did AM General provide? If it's a helpful document that could help others with the same problem, it would be worth uploading.

Follow this Link that will eventually take you to the NHTSA site where they have published their interpretation that AM General has designed its vehicles for road use. Being a 1970 is your truck a Kaiser Jeep? The second part is quite tricky because licensing agents think they need to see a...

I remember reading that they pop off and relieve pressure after a certain amount of pressure has built up. So I imagine any pressure below that would be retained.

Today I grabbed a stamp set and transferred some data over to the tag on the level wind since it took the place of the plate that held that info. It's not as nice as the factory stuff but good enough for the girls I date.

For the original 4 batteries or 2 of the big ones?

Thanks!

Oh, you betcha. I haven't contributed much lately so it's about time to throw out another thread. It's reassuring having a way to offload the spare and I'm hoping I never have to change a tire.

The last detail besides grip tape on the ammo can. This piece with a strap locks the stowed mast to the lower mast to eliminate any wobbling fore and aft.

The pair of Beachwood Canvas chain covers arrived today so one went on the hold down chain over the tire and the second one I put on the lower chain since it wouldn't fit over the hook of the chain that lifts the tire. Here is a funny picture I should've added before. I've been having...

A good sized ammo can got bolted to the crane to store accessories and tools and stuff. I'm planning to add grip tape to the lid so it can double as a step stool to get up high enough to crank on the boat winch. I had to drill two new holes closer inboard on that plate to get the ammo can far...
