Working on the 929 today and noticed a belt was not on. It is old, frail, and brittle. It was just laying next to pulleys. I put it back on where I think it should go. Seems like it should be for the water pump. We've used this truck a lot and never had a problem with it heating up. You...

Yesterday I was traveling north on I 83 into PA from MD. About the Loganiville Exit a M923, which I believe to be an A2 (was driving and didn't notice), merged onto the highway. I was doing about 73-75. We caught up to him pretty quick. Very nice truck. Looked stock except for the exhaust...

M1031 down. Need More Help... My 1031 is down. The cone on the back of the transmission, where the front of the driveshaft goes in, broke. See pic. Anyone know where I can find one? Been looking for months. I use this truck for work, well my guys do, and we need it up an running. Many...

I didn't see a TM that included operation of a CUCV PTO like that which might be on the M1031 Contact Maintenance trucks. I've seen the TM referenced, but haven't found it yet. If it doesn't exist, can someone chime in with the correct operation of the PTO?

Picking up the 923A2 tomorrow. It's coming home on a lowboy. I noticed that i have 1 tire flat and was wondering what I can do to fill that one tire up? Any help is appreciated. Eco

The 929 is working pretty good. Just a couple of observations. The thing has no power in 1-5 with any hill. It really struggles. In low range, it does just fine. It does fine in reverse and on more level ground. I noticed today while loaded and trying to go up hill off road that in high...

We just won a project where access is bad. I have budgeted two months rental of a crawler carrier. That's not cheap. I was wondering if the purchase of a M929 would be an ok alternative. I can't rent a crawler carrier that rotates 360, so that takes away one big advantage. Its not a rocky...

Hi guys, I don't know where else to post this on the site. This is a non-military truck question. I've been trying to do my research without posting here, but ultimately, you guys are the ones I need to hear from. I need to buy a dump truck under CDL. I've narrowed my search to two trucks...

Hey Guys/Gals, I just sold my 818 to Dave (aka: farmer73) who is new to this site. He is in it right now heading back to an area north of Syracuse from York, PA. He just left a few minutes ago. So he is doing this in the dark and is new to military trucks. It's a good truck and i have every...

Was mobilizing some equipment yesterday with the Deuce and had a complete brake failure a few miles from my destination. I was towing an equipment trailer with my mini-excavator on it when it happened. I had a scout car with me and was able to make it to my destination via back roads in low...

NON-Military but could use some help and don't really know where else to turn. I need someone to take a look at a mini-excavator in Holland Michigan if possible. PM me if you think you can whether you know your way around these machines or not. I'll PM more details if someone can help. I can...

Picked up my M1101-HC chassis trailer today from Mechanicsburg with the M1008. Smooth sailing. Brand new HMMVEE tires. Mold nubbies still on the TREAD much less the sidewall. Perfect condition. Data plate on the one fender indicates it was previously the proud supporter of a steam pressure...

Tried everything, did the research, and read the TM's. Nothing works. No lights, no fans, nothing. Any thoughts? Are these things supposed to run on 24v from the truck or plugged in from something else? I'm lost. Outside, I don't see how this thing is getting 24v from the batteries. I...

Got a M185A3 that is very hard to start. Temp doesn't matter. Have to mash the pedal to get it to fire off. Once running, it does ok. However, I have to give it some juice to start out or the RPM's drop. All my other trucks I can put in 1st low and let the clutch out and they will idle...

I have a two case pluribus light kit and have no information for it/them. They are the long string lights in two wooden cases per unit (i think there are two cases/set). Anybody have any info on these? Not a standard 110a plug. Are these three phase? or multiple phase? Can I use this on...

Well, we tried. We left York around 6. Got all the recovery items ready ahead of time, so we stopped for gas and coffee and were on our way by 6:30. Decided to go down the way we were to come home which is a back way. Mixture of two land, and 4 lane minimal restricted access (non-highway)...

I'm recovering my 7th deuce, a M185A3, out of Richmond next Tuesday. Headwizard did give me some basic notes on the truck before I bid. Thank you very much!! First truck that I haven't previewed in person. Was lot #5851 out of Sale #3973. I have two questions. Any chance someone else...

Did anyone preview in Richmond for this weeks auction ending 2/26/09? PM if you are willing to share notes. Many thanks, Eco

I can't seem to find a good diagram that I can understand of the wiring for the trailer receptacle on a deuce. I need a shot showing me what prong is for what purpose. Is there such a thing? Searched and looked at the TM's a bit and didn't see what I was looking for. Also, I have a trailer...

Recently acquired two brand new towbars, two 5th wheel assemblies, a brand new boarding ladder, an a hydraulic cylinder. The two towbars and the boarding ladder were still in wooden boxes. All were part of 1 lot of a recent GL auction. I just happened to notice them there a few weeks ago...
