The rear right side of the right head. An issue as old as the engine. Too many of them have the problem. Looks like a systematic assembly problem. Propperly rebuilt engines do not have the problem any more.

Hey, guys,
years ago, when the low sulfor fuel came up, I had some problems with my injection pump on a Military K5 Blazer. So I asked the guyes of Daimler engine works and the Diesel freaks of John Deere in Mannheim as well. Both told me the same: To protect your injection pump add one...
TXFirefighter,
your M715 in the pics has all standard rust due to poor rust preventation of the maker. However, to make you happy, I have seen trucks years bevor which are more rotten than yours. The base is not too bad for a 40+ year old M715. My truck is from 68 and I own it 32+ years with 2...
Here such wheels go for about 50 Euro, depending on the condition of the rims. The rubber is overaged and therefore costs money to get it scraped, even if is is 3 Euro only. With good young rubber the price will be 75 to 100 Euro.
Hey,
if the drive train for the winch is complete and the winch works, the winch set useually costs arround 2500$. So without looking too deep into the quality of the truck and if it is as decriped, 5000 $ should be good enough for the truck. Consider the work you will have with the vehicle. The...
DUKW, 11.00-18 tires, new-... A miracle to me. Even the Army in Europe can not order these tires any more since 10 years. Is there an aftermarket maker on the market that supplies these tires in acceptable numbers to accabel prices? The comunity in Europy is interseted to hear from that. Actual...
The bow corners are the original ones of the M101, the set up is just raised by some 20 cm to fit to the M715 tarpoline deck. The M715 bow corners radius is larger. Also my M715 bow corners are the M101 radius. 1981 I had no other choise, no original bow corners in the far reach.
The reason was...
There are at least 5 registered M715 in Germany, 1 in Schweden, 1 in Belgium, may be 1 in France . I do not have the complete overview in Germany, however I estimate that there are some 15 at least in Germany. May be 2 more in Portugal, which had once been sold as Farm Trucks to there (30+ years...

TP Should be adjusted to your realy needs. For the correct pressure ask the Micheline tire technical manual, which should be some thing between 350 kPa(1500 lbs per tire) and 850 kPa (7000 lbs per tire), depending on the load. In sand and mud depending on speed this may be reduced to some 150 or...
If the problem remains afte the complete reassemble of the truck, try to find a blacksmith which still knows how to reset leave springs. That is probably the better way than to buy a new set of 60 year old leave springs. May be a little more expensive, howerver the way to choose (I would do...
The correct location for the purple wire is the engine side contact. As Doghead said if proppably incorrectly intalled or covered with some connecting dirt there might be the change of an unintended short after starting the engine for the selenoid is based on two energy sources: The purple wire...
Excuse me, the interior of the NP200 was used already with the 6x6 Dodge (WC 61, WC 62) in WWII in the later series. It was originally desigened for some 300 lbsft torque. The M37 Series and the M715 Series were in the range of these torque specs, for transfers usually were designed with a...
We call the rim "Einfache Sprengringfelge" or single retaining ring wheel (compared with the modern truck wheels with 3 retaining safety rings). The handeling is relatively easy if you know the trick. The only problem is to press of the rubber from the steel / tire seat after many years of...
