I'm a little worried that the ceiling squares in this shelter might contain asbestos. There are a couple spare pieces on top of the HVAC unit that I'll take pics of and post here to see if anyone can confirm. My son who has done asbestos removal thinks they're OK, but I want to know for sure...

Here's a couple pictures of the underside. I really haven't spent much time with it since I got it home. Two feet of snow and weeks of high temps in the teens hasn't helped. The tire size is 9.00 x 16

Thanks! I'm guessing it's post-Korean era, so maybe towed by the m135 or xm211? It has Air Force markings inside, and I can just barely see something outside under the paint that looks like it might have been used for recruiting, says something like "See the world!" and a phone number. The...

Lm-105 My soon-to-be camper/shelter. I was looking for an S280, but when I saw this, I realized that I could haul my motorcycles and gear in the back of the 923. It's a Craig Systems LM-105. The only info I have about it are pictures from some old ads from the 50's. The jacks flip up and...

Behind an F450 and a 5-ton, it's not squirrelly at all, but I want to occasionally tow it short distances with a Yukon XL 2500 3/4 ton and it may be a little dicey. And backing it up is like a regular 105--you have to be paying attention. It came from just up the road from you--I picked it up...

I recently picked up an interesting trailer, thought I'd post a couple pictures here with the hope that someone might have seen one before. From an old military ad I found, it appears to be a Craig Systems LM105 Air Force mobility shelter from the 50's. It has a removable carriage with dual...

My experience is between 7.5 and 8 in an M923a1 (Michelin 14x20 XL's) on my recovery trip (1000 miles), but I was in a convoy with three A0's, so cruising speed was kept down to around 1700-1800 rpm. I was also adding DieselKleen--Not suggesting it increases mileage, but it does seem to smooth...

Oh, and a little trick that I watched MarkMontana perform in the middle of Wyoming on a 923 to get it started when the primer pump was inoperative: Disconnect the line to the primer pump and backfill it with a small funnel and some fuel.

Hi SteelHound, My M923 (and the other M939's that I've checked out) has a single line running from the IP to the primer pump, followed by a drain valve. The drain valve is missing on my truck, but all other trucks I've seen have one (looks to be the same as the air tank drain valves)...

I was helping MarkMontana recover his m185a3 from Ft. Leonard Wood, and as I was driving away from the GL lot, which is way at the far end of the base (he was still back there finishing paperwork), I got stopped at a light. I watched about 20 or 30 Strykers, MRAPS, and other heavy trucks make a...

On the way back from the mid-west in 100+ degree weather last month in an m923, I noticed the fan clutch not engaging, but the temp. at highway speed kept below 200 so I carried on. The motor ran a lot cooler than I did.

Same boat here: Solid ABS light, '85 M923A1--on since recovery. I've checked both fuses--the 15A was blown and immediately blows when replaced, 3A is OK. I've gone through the TM, ABS maintenance sustainment handout, etc, and can't identify a troubleshooting path for the fuses, though it...

I just recovered my first 939 series truck, an M923A1, and while it started with just a couple cranks at the GL lot, it ran really rough and occasionally made a disturbing knocking noise at idle. During the 1000 mile drive home, it ran fairly well, but idled like crap, and at each startup it...

Another grateful follower here, with a shop van in similar condition. Thanks for taking the time to share your ideas, and pictures of your work. I don't have your skills, but since you're making it look easy I'm going to attempt my own floor repair.

I had problems with my first auction win requiring an EUC. My bank declined payment on the purchase, calling GL a fraud risk. I was able to convince the bank to allow the charge, but all the way up until the day I got the "paid in full" notice 2 months later my invoice still showed "Credit...

Thanks, popacom! Now just need to find the spring and antenna element. Looks like it's rated for 30-80Mhz or so, so 2m is out, now where did I put that CB I stashed away 20 years ago...

Just recovered an M109A3, and was happy to find an antenna mast and sugar scoop installed, in the location that you guys are talking about, behind the cab. On a side note, anyone recognize the mount? It has a single BNC connector underneath, with no tuning knob, so it's not a an MX-6707. I'm...

Mission Accomplished--Everything was in pretty good shape, decided to carry out the entire 650 mile trip. Thanks to MarkMontana for picking me up at the airport, taking me to Harbor Freight, and then out to Barstow. It was great to have an experienced deuce owner there, as my mental checklist...

I like the idea of walk-on solar panels. Could you use something like a sheet(s) of plexiglass over them that could be replaced if scuffed by lawn chairs and suntan oil? Here are the photos of the other roof deck taken by another member here (nf6x)...
