    towing M818 backwards

    I did tow from the front, I replaced the damaged hook. I mentioned that earlier. The axle clamps look neat though. I saw a pair on Ebay but I don't know if I'm going to encounter this problem enough to need a pair. I simply beat the bumper back into shape with a sledge hammer and pushed it...

    towing M818 backwards

    I got the truck home and now it runs. It wouldn't prime at the base to save it's life. I learned that somewhere along the way, someone tried to use heater hose on the input line from the passenger side tank to the tank select valve and it was cracked / oversized and would not seal up. I...

    towing M818 backwards

    I posted pics in the Conversations section. I replaced the tow hook and towed it behind my Deuce. It was a pain to replace as the rear bolt hole of the original tow hook had let go and the bumper got bent in the process. Took about 50 hits from the BFH (Big Fixing Hammer) and a push from a...

I opened the petcock's on both the fuel filter and the petcock just behind the fuel filter and pressurized the tank and still could not get fuel to flow. It's...

    towing M818 backwards

    Well, It's not being recovered for battle but it does need to leave a GL lot. I'm going to try and get it running and let it tow the Deuce behind it but if that's a no go, I've got to get it off of the base this afternoon. Swapping the tow hook would probably be about as easy as dropping the...

    towing M818 backwards

    Will I damage the axles on a M818 by towing the truck 20 miles in reverse? The reason I ask, the towing connection on the driver's side front is broken. If need be, I can pull one of the hooks off of the rear and attach it to the front bumper but I'm trying to get the truck down the road after...
