    hydraulic pump issue

    How do I do that. I looked at the governor but not sure were to adjust. I unscrewed the cap and there was a bolt with a nut on it but wasn't sure if that was it. I have been searching the TMs but I haven't found the governor adjustment process yet. Any help would be appreciated!

    Troop Seat Question

    This is what I have figured: You would rap the cord around the top of the backrest and round in a circle reconnecting it to itself. This would keep it from working off under bumpy conditions.

    Troop Seat Question

    Steve, Here is how I used them. Fold up one troop seat. Take the Long ends that are equal length and slide it on to the bottom of the backrest with the shorter end facing you. Then slide the H block between the folded seat and the backrest. I am actually looking for two and rubberized...

    hmmm..... ballistic resistent LineX

    They were talking about using it as an anti-spall coating. In other words to help contain the fragments that happen when the bullet hits the steel plate. I have included a quote from AR500 armor that has a coating like Linex. "Our lightweight level IIIA steel plate comes standard with a build...

    I like your solution! Did you cut it 48 inches diameter or something else? I was trying to measure my cab flange but I cam up with 49. Sorry for the late post I just got mine.

    Just picked up my M1078 so I am starting on this new adventure

    On a side note, I need a cargo cover for my LMTV. I would prefer the 3 color camo but the stuff I am finding is really expensive. What is a good source or average price for a cover? I have the metal frame. I am seriously thinking about finding a small boat cover place and getting them to...

    Just picked up my M1078 so I am starting on this new adventure

    Checked the hydro fluid level and added some but still no luck on raising the cab. I used the manual pump and raised the cab so I guess that means I have a pump(rebuild) issue. On the CTIS the 5 lights are flashing from the beginning not just after the initial pressure test. Didn't have time...
