    Cab Air Bag Bushings

    I'm doing my airbags right now, and like some other's experience, the bushing fell out in pieces. I called Ohio Hydraulic who called PP and they say they don't have any of the bushings (PN 2010000272). Does anyone have any leads on where to get these? I'm sure I could get some machined in...

    Dewey Battery Charging Aux Power Unit - Generator Head Swap

    I got the generator head swapped on my BAPU unit. Everything went VERY smoothly! Only "fab" work needed was drilling two new holes for the rubber generator head mount. I think this video covers most of the work needed. The only things omitted were I used a 3 jaw puller to get the bushing off...

    Dewey Battery Charging Aux Power Unit - PTO Shaft

    Does anyone else have one of these? I'm curious what PTO shaft option the Yanmar has on it. I've tried decoding the part number, but the PTO option digit doesn't match any of the known PTO option codes. I've also tried calling Yanmar, but they had no clue. When mine gets here, I plan on...

    Frame Stretch

    As suggested, I'll do a post on extending the frame of your FMTV. Disclaimer: I'm not an expert in metal fabrication and there is no way what I've done is as strong as the frame originally was, but its good enough for my purposes. Let's start with some back story... I originally purchased my...

    Turn Signal + Brights LED Indicator Upgrade

    I'm not a big fan of the incandescent bulbs used in our indicator display. I did a little digging and they are a standard 5mm size that you can also get LEDs in. The problem with LEDs is they aren't designed to handle the voltages these indicator lights use. Most of the indicator bulbs in our...

    FMTV Cab Cot

    A couple weeks ago I had an idea to build a fold down cot in the cab of my truck. Lord knows we don't go fast so any sizable journey will probably require an overnight somewhere. My goal was to keep it simple/easy to build, cheapish, lightweight, and comfortable. I just finished building it...

    Valve Stem Seals?

    I'm in the process of doing a tire change on my M1085. I've taken the easy way out and taken it to a tire shop :naner: We've only done one tire so far because we're waiting on o-rings, but the results were less than stellar. The morning after the tire change the tire was flat. To make sure...

    A1 Cab -> A0 Chassis Swap

    I've been lurking for a bit but I'm excited to make my first post. Hi, I'm yertnamreg and I'm down in Houston. I took the plunge last week and bought one of the 1085s out of Bragg! It's definitely a little rough around the edges, but she seems to have good bones. I got interested in getting...
