Any input on the qty of 10 FOPS bolts? I don't suppose it's a regular bolt I could get at tractor supply?

Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
The 5-2420-224-24P-2 TM tells you what the bolts are. The size is M12, Fine thread and 40 mm long. I would use Grade 8 equivalent.Any input on the qty of 10 FOPS bolts? I don't suppose it's a regular bold I could get at tractor supply?

I think I replaced mine with just 3/4" standard pitch bolts, I used some nylon lock nuts. Not original equipment, but keeps the FOP place.The guy who owned my FLU before me took the FOPS off and lost the bolts! Anyone know the bolt/nut specs (thread pitch, thread length, diameter, thread pitch, hardness etc)?
I tried to derive this from the NSN but was unsuccessful.
My brake lines are a mess, I don't have brakes other than the emergency brake. I don't get up enough speed that I really miss them.Thank you for this input. So current conditions are icy precipitation etc. I am glad to know it's not like my brakes will lock up or something when it gets below freezing.
How do y'all confirm the system is working as expected after you put alcohol in it?
Did you get the FOPS and hood for it? Any of the hydraulic tools? The last digit on the engine time is not tenths it is full hours. Have fun with the new toy!
- Noob here .. got my first mog today and she is a peach . 300 ish miles and 55 hours on the engine meter . She need a lot of love .. melted wires from the alternator to the starter . No reverse . Rear air tank missing and various air lines disconnected . Broking windshield , drivers window , engine cover cracked , and oh yah the pass door fell off when I open see it … I’m in love . Any advice where to collect parts or info would be great . I read every post on this thread and new I was in for a treat . I did find the manuals and guide . I guess the fist thing is fiver out what happened to the wires and figure out how to get some air pressure .
no chainsaw . Lots of bits in the box . Working on the wording now . I think I’m missing the locker air solenoid and know I’m missing the rear air tank I’m going to need to locate parts to get the air working .Did you get the FOPS and hood for it?

yes it does look like it for trailer brake only . I relay don’t need and never needed before so I’m ok without that , I need to get the 4 wheel drive lever hooked up and find a locker actuator . I found a open banjo fitting and have no idea where the actuator for the locker should goIsn't that rear tank for trailer brakes? If so, you don't really need it.

I've seen several Stanley hydraulic chainsaws for sale on Ebay in the past. You can get the bushing for the shifter from EI and they don't cost much. I would recommend going ahead and replacing the bushing for both shifters while you are in there and the bushings don't cost much. That plastic gets hard with age and cracks.no chainsaw .

It seems like it is a common mod that they did in the field to cut the pins off and hinge the doors on the stubs. I bought replacement pins, I think from E.I. It was a trick to get the remains of the old pins out, but nothing a torch , 6 lb sledge, an a lot of determination couldn't deal with. I haven't had any issues with the E.I. pins, but do try to remember to oil them regularly.Pass door fell off.. snapped hinge pins. Made a couple out of stainless . I’ll have to make a couple more for the slightly sagged drivers door
Since I have to replace one tire, I'm thinking about replacing all 4 tires with Continental MPT80 tires, 12.5R20, 12 ply. The tires currently on the FLU419 are Michelin XL 12.5X20 which have 4 plies in the tread and 1 ply in the sidewall, which in my opinion isn't very tough. Does anyone have any experience with the Continental MPT 80 tires on a FLU419?
