Winter training Camp By George, you are right. I went back to the copies of the origional documents from the general contractor. And it is "U.S. ARMY - WINTER TRAINGING CAMP - WEST YELLOWSTONE MONTANA" You are the first to call me on that. I will try to make the appropiate corrections...

converting from 211 to 135 I have done what you are talking about, and I believe that it involves totally changing out the hubs. I believe that it has to do with the brake drums, but there is no way in heck of unbolting and getting them off. There is no flipping. Tom @ Snake River Here is a...

900 performance I do not have personal experience will the 900 series, BUT, I run a pair of M-812's which run the same engine with a manual transmission. My top speed loaded and unloaded is about 62mph. Automatic transmissions usually eat some power. But it sounds like you are doing okay...

Troop seat uprights Longhunter called me and told me he had posted this info. When I come to Steelsoldiers, I usually hang out on the 5 ton board. I am reproducing the uprights and the front panel pieces. VPW, I believe still has the folding troop seats off of the old M601's. I can...

tires on the M-812 I suppose that you could run just a single on the rears. Not sure as to what rim you would run a super single on. I have 10 of the 16x20 Michilins sitting here myself. Your lifting capasity is better with the duals. Make sure and use your block and tackle and frame...

Control boxes I have replaced both control boxes on my the 2 of my M-812 trucks. Memphis Equipment has them from Southern Electrical for $320.00 each. Main condition was that the internal sylimolds were not hitting in and staying very well. Resulting in you continuely flipping the switch...

I purchased 2 - M-812 trucks. On one, the lights and everything work. On the other, nothing works, no lights, no brake lights, no turn signals, ect. Where do I start, are there any main breakers, fuses ??? Why would the whole lighting system be bad. Mind you these trucks have less...

Is there a commercial part number for the condenser that sits on top of the engine ? ? Mine loses it ground and runs badly. Tom

Hauling produce with a 800 series Two years ago, I purchased 2 M-812 bridge trucks, (18' frames) and mounted a 20' potato bed on it. Left the other origional to be a recovery truck. We load it up about 55,000 GVW and it handles it wonderfully. He haul potatoes, barley and wheat. Only paid...

I know an old chap that has 2 M-4 Sherman chassis, with a good possibility that they might even run. He bought them surplus after the war. Demilled without the turrets. Would it be worth while to buy the chassis. What could you do with them ?? I did see a guy build a mock turret on a...

I own 2 M-812 trucks, 250 Cummins, both low miles. One is running fine, the other is starving down on fuel. Will run aways and then starve down. I dropped the canister filter under the left front fender. Filter seemed clean and there was no sediment in the bottom of the canister. The...
