    XM791 Recoveries

    I am less concerned with the electramatronical horn thingy and more concerned with getting the fuel system more together. I sprayed some WD-40 in the air cleaner BEFORE we tried to turn the engine over. There was some resitance to the whole works turning over but suddenly it cranked over like...

    We have an e-mail in to the Chief of Ellicot FD but no response yet. We are definitely going to track that down. Also there were reports of some van bodied trucks coming from a salvage yard somewhere around there. Supposedly the bodies were scrapped. But you never know. We are definitely...

    Tom's making the new OD gears for the M-35 tranny's. We can send him a message and see what he says about the XM 791. As for the body......We can get away with an M-4 type expansible van body. It should bolt right on from what I have researched. All the nomenclature I've seen say's it's a...

I don't think they are the same dimensionally but anything can be made to fit. More importantly I don't know the...

    I don't think we have enough JB weld yet.....Maybe we need to buy stock in the company. I usually like to get more complete projects. I was just looking at the trucks for the LDS motors originally. I knew the trucks were a bit on the rare side but did not think there was enough to put Humpty...

    4955. I love that tractor. All 40,000 + lbs worth. It's my big mean green machine. We have the old 2950, a 250 skid steer and the "antique" 620 grandad bought new in 57'. You can say I have a double strain of the green disease in my blood. We will need all the luck we can get with these 791's...

    Good advice DH on the towbar. We are rookies with respect to tow bar etiquite. WillCo. In fact I will flip the pins before we take the tow bar off. It came that way from GL. Not a good excuse in not paying attention to it. Thank You. From all the research I have done I can't find where the M-4...
