I doubt solder will stick to that type of cast, and not sure if a heliarc (Tig) welder will do the trick like it does on aluminum .. You can try JB-Weld (inside and out) if it's available over there, I have used JB as an overlay successfully on cracked blocks/heads I have welded or brazed ...

always loved the MASSTER camo , much more than the MERDC. .. Looks great !! (although I hope that fresh shade of green darkens a bit)

Once bought a dead M51A2 from a highway dept's parts yard .. Got it running and the horn squawked weirdly.. Found the internals and bells stuffed with decades of mud-wasp nests ! :hammer:

20-some years ago when I was a hwy supt I obtained a USGI wheel dolly from Watervliet DRMO for the guys to use... It had a manual jack that used the typical folding crank handle typical for a car or pickup .. The guys did not like it because the height of the wheels could not be adjusted to...

i just noticed you have a 2020 .. I have a 2510 (that's a 3020 with a 2020 engine) plus a 4010-D, and my ladyfriend has a 2520 (that's a 3020 with a 2030 engine) .. All are good engines except hers has the infamous cracking at the top of the block around the cylinder liners .. Had any problem...

I wonder if they come in semi-gloss ,OD type, 1 each .. :unsure::ROFLMAO:

why does that look like a slate pile in background ? There's slate quarries in France too ?! .. oh, sorry, nice wrecker. :ROFLMAO:

I believe it. The incident I mentioned was the only time I ever saw it happen. A fluid leak was determined to be the cause of the mico-brake release . Driver negligence was determined to be the cause of the runaway .. No chocks, e-brake not set, truck not in gear, parked unattended on a slight...

True, as I don't recall seeing a M816 , M246, or M62 wrecker without one.. However, I have seen many level winders on engineer company M51's and M817's while I was still "in," about 70% did not have a level winder. Many years later, 3 dumps I obtained from DRMO's had level wind (all from...

yes Mico makes them and i was referring to one being used in the 1980's in the '74 1800 -series Loadstar that ran away... The ones I recall in 1950's-1970's trucks were a lever-lock type with "Micro-Lock Corp" or "Micro Loc" or "Micro Lok" on the dash plate at the handle or lever, some were...

you are lucky to have the wrecker's micro-loc feature regardless of what body you will use. .. Not all wreckers had this item (surprisingly, my M62 did not receive one when the army "upgraded" it to an A2 .. Without it, holding the truck still while using the boom is a real pain sometimes ...
