Come on out, we have a set of stairs!

Been a bit since I visited this thread. There are indeed bladders on the vent and hand pumps in the drivers area. Today we looked at one of the road wheels on the LH side. If you look at pic four of post 1, you will see the rear road wheel sits higher than the rest, thought maybe a broken...

And, I think I might have stated somewhere that the other 60 did not have these pipes, well, it does too. Both were USMC tanks. The TMs we have are Army pubs. and do not show the piping. Without them there the pack removal would be a bit easier, they are very close to the hull.

Rusty...TMI man! I would like to find out what the piping is. I don't think it is for crew ventilation, I do not think it actually puts exh gasses into the boxes they attach to. Maybe some type of heating system? When running, there are pulses in the piping, no soot. If anyone comes out this...

OK, I found out today that I can post on YT directly from my phone! Here is a vid when I fired the pack on the ground. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXF1jZj5Zm0

We don't keep batteries in vehicles, so when we start anything, except mules, it always has someone in the seat, brakes applied and we announce we are going to fire and wait for replies. We are small, but very safe. All that are there are friends, it would suck to loose a friend just because...

Last update fro a bit until we address the other issue. Attempted to remove the drilled broken bolts, found that they were helicoiled previously. The bolt wouldn't come out, so I drilled incrementally to the correct size for tapping, was going to run a tap thru the hole and push what was left of...

I have a Q, if you go back to post 6, pic 4, you will see a tube coming from the turbo outlet, routed fwd, around the intake and they terminate at the air boxes. When the engine runs, there is exhaust noise and heat coming out of them at the front of the engine, but no exhaust. Anyone know what...

I loved your eyes dude! Although I LOVE to work on things, I am hoping I do not have to climb in and out, up and down in THAT vehicle for a bit. It wore me out. The thrill for me is to bring things back to life/running order, using my pea brain instead of the BS troubleshooting that Cummins made...

Tried to grt thr FB link vid downloaded to my puter, but I aint so smarrrt. Sorry. Silverstate, there are markings on it, USMC 51505 on both sides of the hull, front and rear, have A15 on the left and 21442 on the right. Any info would be great!

578 and M62/548 are at the Museum, 578 just needs a look over, it runs and ASFIK, works, never excersized the crane, cables look good. M62 is stuck, tried moving it to get the M60 out, but there are brake issues, this one needs a re spool. Both will not walk the pack, they need to pull and...

Umm, leme see if I can find a way to get it from FB

Here is a link to a FB page from one of the volunteers pages, https://www.facebook.com/daniel.enriquez.921/videos/1357465891056762/?__tn__=%2Cd-b-R&eid=ARBTVRgWRVhOqrsGa05gfDy4sGZRf_vvJHS45T1GL977iwDRJI7YaXY7ChxBuEJ__HFapGN9_u6Nu35X

Update, We ground fired it, started right up after 25 + years of non op. Throttle linkage was frozen, got that freed up and it idled good and throttled up great on the ground. Pack is in, had a friend of the museum come over to help center the lifting bar, it is military, has holes marked pack...

I know the business end has "RESERVE THIS" stenciled on it. It is pretty crusty, so, it probably was at Pendleton. I will look next week or tomorrow if I go down there. AFAK, no insg on it, was carced in 89

Here is how the power gets out to the tracks. Out the trans thru the wing bearings and this coupler sends it to the final drives. It really isn't that big, the wing bearings are though!

No,M578 and M543, but had to use another truck to remove it. The 578 will most likely put it back in. I need to look at things on that. And, the line that pulled out is fire suppression for the valley of the engine.

No, too heavy to retract outriggers and move it, so, it and the tank are centered in the inside lane and roped off. It will be a chore to re install with a fixed boom, so we are looking for a rotator OR get the wrecker running, re spool and use that. I'll find out more tomorrow. I have a few...

One of my happy azz

The same day, peeled things back, Some help we had told us what to disconnect, they actually come out very fast, but the package is freekin' HEAVY! 8800 lbs. Some small things were neglected so the engine came out, sort of about 3 times and back in until all the rest of the unknown/seen QD's...
