Okay, a did the Low Buck mod on the full fuel screw, I turned it out 3 full turns and tightened the jamb nut back down, went for a ride and really don't see a big difference. So I will take the next step, the star wheel, one full turn for starters. I take it, these are subtle...

Where can I buy a new air valve? It appears as though my M923a2 valve is gray plastic, it is split, and is leaning air. (Or am I confused and not looking at the right part?). I tried searching the net but I must not be using the correct terminalogy for that part.

Long over due update It's been a long time since this was first posted, and here's where I am at: Since I received my 1970 M813, I had dropped it off at a fellow Steel Soldiers member facility near Boston MA, where Matt went through and changed the all of fluids, flushed out the fuel tank, new...

Please change the ":" in the title to "?"

Very interesting - I'm going to try to recover what I have, then if that doesn't work - I'll try the 8D or 8N option. Awesome information - thank you to all for the advice!!!!

Lots of threads here on batteries, so at the end of the day; with all of your lessons learned, what would you recommend to someone who has a 5 Ton with 4 dead Hawker HASP-FT 6TL batteries? I have read about the Optima Redtop option, I don't like the idea of cutting back so much of the...

Wholly - Molly!!!!! Went on line to one of those "part number get your quotes here" places, entered the gov spec part number and received a quote: Hi Todd, In response to your request we are pleased to quote you the following: PART#: 6-4 120202 BA NSN#: 4730-01-420-8036 DESCRIPTION...

Is there a site that sells parts based on Military Part numbers? Or a conversion to common part ID such as threads per inch, pitch, material, elbow, etc? I'm trying to find a replacement fitting for a leaky air line to the poppet valves on the transmission on my M813. The part number is...

Thank you.

Could the slave receptacle on the side of the cab be used as a temp connection point for a 24v electric winch for the bed? I'm unsure if this outlet is a good point to use for a high amp draw - over a prolong time (5 minutes or so). Basically looking for a quick connection for a 5k winch for...

I am trying to decide if a hardtop is worth putting on my 813, and part of the debate is finding one thats in great shape and fits. I did locate this on the internet, but I don't know if this particular top fits the 813. Would anyone here have experience with this, and the cross reference...

emr, Thank you for the invite to NJ. I have my hands full right now with too much on my plate, but fortunately I live right down the street from the MV Show in Chester CT in June. I hope to be a bit more settled next year and will make the tour of more East Coast events. I am so happy to have...

Thanks, zout - I realized this after I posted - you are correct - lots of info there - I think I'll keep it simple. Staying away from the CARC.

I am trying to mount 14.00R20 tires on the 2-piece HEMTT wheels (see the wheel below) and for the life of me, can't get the O Ring to stay in place. It almost seems as though it is 1/2" to large. I put grease in the groove to holding until the rim pieces are bolted together and I still get...
