    M 135, M 211 Transmission Oil

    I used one of these trucks for years for farm grain hauling, pulling a 30 foot trailer, and plowing snow with no transmission problems. When I first got the truck a friend of mine who worked on these in the military that had a transmission shop told me to get the engine oil out of the...

    I am repairing an M62 that has the swing mechanism damaged. The cause was water getting down into the gears, destroying the Timken bearings on the swing idler gear and the swing cam driven pinion gear. The result of the destroyed bearings was some of the bearing rollers from the idler gear...

    White 465 Motors At Work On The Farm

    Included are photos of a White farm tractor that has the same basic engine in it as the deuce and 5 ton motors. In fact, ordnance numbers will be found on many parts in the engine when torn down. This is the kind of work these engines are doing for long hours each day at high load levels all day...

    Attached are photos of the "coyote condo" my son and I built to hunt the wiley coyote. We are setting it on a frame on a M139 bridge truck. The condo is 6' x 7', has four windows for observation and shooting, has insulated walls and ceiling, and a trap door in the bottom for access from the M139...

    Hard Pedal, Dragging Brakes

    I had a problem with my M51A2 with the brake pedal being hard, right at the top after a few brake applications. The brakes were dragging, building heat in the drums. I had replaced a stuck master cylinder with one that seemed good off a parts truck. I had disassembled it and cleaned it before...

    Long Road to Resurrection

    We have spent several weeks at getting this dump truck assembled from parts and running. The pictures show the dump truck and a donor truck beside it with my home-made tow bar on it. The dump truck was bought about seven years ago, missing the engine, transmission, and front grille, radiator...

    4A032 Welder Completed

    I am posting pictures of the welder after we painted it and added a fuel tank. I have also included a close-up of the connector and drive adapter. It works very well, having plenty of power. It is much smoother and quicker on the governor than the Wisconsin VF-4 we had on it before! Regards...

    4A032 on Welder

    I bought a 4A032 engine to drive my DC welder. Several years ago I had put a Wisconsin VF4 on it, but it developed a rod bearing problem so I replaced it. It also did not develop high enough RPM to make the welder reach potential. The 4A032 works really well on it. I made the exhaust pipes and...

    Here are some pictures one of our deuces, implement trailer, and Massey Ferguson 1100 tractor after returning from a modified tractor pull. We just got this truck this March from Stout Field from GL. After using an M135 GMC for years on implement trailers, an M35 is a real power treat to drive...

    Wrecker Hydraulic Drive Motor Repair

    We had a leak around the shaft on the end of the hydraulic drive motor on the hoist drum of our M543A2. I saw someone was asking a while ago about repairing these.

    M105A3 TrailerQuestions

    I have purchased an M105A3 trailer on Govliquidation. The serial number made me wonder what it might mean. It is NWOX1Q. On some other military items, an X meant it was a one off or other experimental thing. Is that the case here? The trailer has the markings HS-T141 and a mushroom cloud...

    South Wind Engine Heater

    I put a South Wind 939J24 multifuel engine heater on my M543A2. I think it is a really good addition. It heats the engine nicely. I considered using an electric tank type heater, but if the truck is away from a power supply, it cannot be used. I leave the heater on when using the truck for short...
