Welcome to Steel Soldiers
Answer to question…….
Possible?
Probably
Most likely expensive
I think it would be much easier and cheaper to use that as a parts machine and look for a complete unit.
I was very surprised.
It wasn’t a high bid auction to begin with but I would have assumed they would have just sent them to auction again.
After a conversation with the site manager I understand why they didn’t do that.
Much easier and cheaper for a host of reasons to just get it off the...
Hope you don’t have to buy a new one.
Surplus ones are stupid expensive.
Mine is the t-handle and I assume they both work the same way, but I have not seen your style valve before. Just the T-handle.
As you turn the handle, it moves a plunger forward or backward to either open or close the...
Thank you
All I kept finding was the NSN saying a diesel engine for a combat vehicle and that the Govt hasn’t bought any new engines in the last 5 years.
Not a common engine that I’m aware, but I don’t deal with any engines of this size. I sold my 5 tons long ago and they were Cummins.
It was...
Picked up two diesel engines today.
One was a HMMWV 6.5NA and a rather large and heavy Mercedes-Benz M906LA diesel engine.
Both are in their military shipping containers.
Question is…….What in the world did the military use this Mercedes engine for?
I have struck out using the NSN.
I think it’s...
The solid rims are not the easiest to find.
Usually pricey when you do.
I was very lucky.
Those lugs should work fine.
Please post if you have any issues.
Bought a NOS camo trailer cover for my workhorse M101A2.
Looks kinda silly on a tan trailer but it will work for now.
These are getting scarce and very expensive.
I will replace the lousy nylon ropes with the rubber rope.
Did that mod on my other trailer and it’s a breeze to get in and out of...
I was surprised on how often I use the water trailer.
Has been extremely handy
It has been used as everything from a remote shower to a movable water supply for a power washer and so on.
I keep it filled in the warmer months so we always have drinking water if needed.
It’s getting close to...
They were definitely needing grease.
Wouldn’t have carried a heavy load very far.
At least you now know their condition and they have plenty of grease.
Numerous examples in the old threads of guys getting trailers that looked great, but had junk dry bearings, including me.
Glad you checked...
Changed engine oil and filter.
Mobil1 Delvac 15w-40
Wix 51061
Only Drove the CUCV about 2600 miles last year.
Greased all the fittings.
Checked rest of fluids. All good.
Air and fuel filters were changed last oil change. Their still good.
Fuel filter checked for water. None found.
Wiper...
She is a great dog.
Loves riding in the back of the CUCV, or front seat of anything else.
Installed a LED set on my third M101A2.
Had another supervisor for this job.
I use the same NOCO charger on my CUCV and Duramax diesel.
Use several other NOCOs for other vehicles/equipment.
All the NOCO chargers have been flawless for years.
For my MEP-002A, I use a 12w solar charger/maintainer.
Same for my NF-2D light tower/generator.
Been working great so far.
