Used a common carrier to haul my StuG replica, 13 tons.

350 mile roundtrip roadtrip, my M818 hauling a halftrack to an event in PA. No issues at all, did well, but certainly slowed a bit on some of the steeper grades on I-81. The Halftrack is a post war Czech OT-810 converted to give it a WWII appearance, the StuG III is a replica built on the...

found the gaskets at Memphis supply, appreciate the heads up.

Any idea where I can get new o rings? thanks

The poppet valve on my M818 is leaking air, can not build air pressure. What needs to be done to correct this?

I took a look in the manual and indeed there is a valve below the turbo, thanks!

My M920 heat isnt working properly, in that the fan works fine but the air is not warm. I drove it 50 miles this weekend, but there was no difference in the duct temperature the entire time. Where should I start looking first?

Here is a picture of the light when it is on, I suppose it is just alerts you that you are in overdrive?

Here is where the light is, look for the black arrow just right of the rpm needle. These units are rated with a top speed of 55 mph I believe, my light starts flickering at 50. I suppose I will have to drive it and see at what speed the transmission deactivates.

The small red light on the tachometer/speedometer gauge (near the top) came on around 50 mph and 1900 RPM, was flickering, clearly I wasnt pushing her too hard, want to make sure the light isnt a problem because she sure settled down in 16th at this speed and it felt like she could do much more...

When shifting into 16th gear, at highway cruising speeds, a red light flickered in the top of the dash gauge, the one for speed and engine speed. What does the light indicate? I was about 2000 RPM.

My m818 without modification gets 6.3 miles per gallon, pulling an empty ten ton trailer. Speed with trailer is 55-56 mph on generally flat ground, slows to 50mph on hills that are not very steep or long.

Who made that for you? Looks great, with the engine now in the rear. I suppose it came out of the UK.

OT-810 weighs between 8 to 9 tons.

You can get an adapter for the kingpin so you could use the M920
