Is there anyone traveling between these two states or passing by on the way somewhere? I have a towbar and adapters that need a ride from north east Ks to north east Ky.
While working to get the M818 up and running after sitting over last winter and summer I've come across a leaky fitting. While operating the primer pump I noticed this fitting dripping fuel. Could this fitting be sucking air into the system? Its not before the IP so I dont think so but Im not...
I sold the M715 today. Thats the truck that started the OD addiction for me. I wanted it because it was a "JEEP Thing" and little did I know what it was going to do to me. I got so deep into aquiring OD green stuff that I never got a chance to work on it like I should have. Now that its gone I'm...
M900 series exhaust on M809 truck. + a tool box
I'm thinking of putting the exhaust stack off a 900 on my M818. Anyone ever done it or seen it? It looks like it would pass thru where the batteries are now.I can relocate those easy enough. I know I would have to remove the second fuel tank, I...
There has been alot of controversy this past year about whether the M101 series of trailers is designed to dump or not. (GL is not helping out with advertising these as dump trailers). Can you dump with these trailers? Yes. Will they eventually break from to much dumping? Yes. (...
Hard to shift out of 3rd.
OK I've spent the whole second half of the game searching and could not find anything related to this.
One my '71 M35a2B (bobbed) it is hard to shift out of 3rd. Going into 3rd (or any other gear) is fine, well as fine as a 40 year old truck should be. When either up...
I've know about this yard for a few years now and never really had the chance to walk it. I have gotten some stuff from there before but it was when I called and asked and they had them waiting up front when I got there. Today I just showed up and asked if I could just walk the yard to see what...
What a disapointment. :cry:
The back story. About a year and half ago my dad reminded me that my moms cousin had a tank on his far that the farmer before him had converted back in the 50's to pull plow on the farm. Dad did not know what it was or what it looked like. (Dad had a stroke a few...
I had a complete M105a2 with the bed removed (the bed is mounted on treated 4x4's and I park my mower in it) and the tongue from the M105 I cut up to make the bobbed truck. I decided I had enough scrap laying around and could use a dump trailer for gravel/dirt/mulch. I still have some work to...
Is anyone running 12.5x20 tires on their truck? ( bobbed) Pictures would be helpful. Ive searched but couldnt find much. Whats the going rate for michelin x 12.5X20's?
Ive found a set of 4 locally (maybe 75percent tread) but I dont know if I want to run them on the bob im building. I dont...
Does anyone have any information about what civi truck PTO's would mate up to a 6453 5ton tranny? I have the winch and most of the hardware to mount it except the outer frame rail extensions, I still need those and the big L shaped plate that mounts to the side of the winch. Any have those...
Ok lets see how long this takes. I'm working on a bobbed deuce and Ive run into a problem. I'm to the point of putting the rear suspension on and I cant find anyone that wants to sell the spring perches. I have one I found in a salvage yard but could not locate the other. All the people I have...
Guys Ive been searching for a week but cant find where anyone has done it this way.
I started to work on bobbing my deuce (Finally!!) I removed he bed, no problem, used a grinder with a 36 grit flap wheel and knocked the heads of the rivets holding the rear crossmember w/pintle hitch and drove...
Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove this piece so I can re-assemble this antenna? I bought it for display purpose only so I dont care that it wont ever work again but I would still like it to stay together when tied down.
It looks like the previous owner had trouble unscrewing the two...
This is not a WTB post. I have 2 6453 trans from the 5ton trucks. Both have gears chewed up inside. On one I pulled the top plate and checked inside and found the reverse idler gear had some chipped teeth and when you spin the tranny with reverse engaged it locks up at those teeth. Everything...
Ive searched. I found only one post that stated a std deuce bed weighs 2000lbs. I could find no other posts to back this up. Is this correct?
Im getting ready to pull the bed off my deuce and I have access to a shop built A-frame and chain hoist but I would like to know how much the bed weighs...
Has anyone here ever removed and cleaned out the air tanks?
It was warm enough today for me to go out and play alittle. I put a bolt in the winch so I could wind the winch cable back onto the drum a little cleaner than that last guy did. (I know, I know, use the proper shear pin) When I got...
Does anyone have a source for the brackets that hold the gauges to the panel? Anyone with parts trucks willing to sell the guage brackets? When I got the deuce home from Streetbikedepot's place I decided to investigate why the oil pressure wasnt registering. Opened the panel and found the...
