    Starting new thread for same old problem.....

    Ive ran across a set of new points for an old tractor that had a very hard to see plastic like film on the contacts. Would not start until the film was peeled off.

    M200A1 Trailer. What to do?

    You can usually find MRAP to Deuce adapter plates on ebay. There’s a set on there now that the seller claims are originals that @peashooter used to sell, good stuff! Avoid the Western Canadians junk like the Plague! Myself and others on here have bad experience with their plates. M1231 Husky...

    New member intro / front brakes may not be working...

    Also, welcome aboard! Just one thing, we need pictures of this truck, especially shots of her at work!

    New member intro / front brakes may not be working...

    There was an MWO done that neutered the front brakes on these trucks in an “attempt” to make them “safer” to drive. I believe it was part of the ABS MWO if I remember correctly. I have plans at looking into changing mine back closer to a normal bias one of these days…

    Curious old M49 fuel truck

    Wrong mirrors. Wrong gauges. Might as well start over, and send that one to me to play with? But seriously Pawel, your model looks amazing! I wouldn’t be concerned about leaving the motor-pool mods in place, especially if you have pictures to support them.

    M939 series 5 ton capacities

    Not from Portrayal. Also, just found another possibility. PM sent to give you a chance at it before I post up to the public.

    Also, just an FYI… If you do order a manual, be certain it covers your serial number range.

    MV - Heavy Equipment Discussions?

    Index of one of the parts manuals on ebag. One of the only few other photos that where taken during my rebuilt 15 years ago.

    MV - Heavy Equipment Discussions?

    Been there done that, plus welding new grouser bars on. Hope your back recovers quickly! If you ever have to do the D7 use a 28mm socket and the most bad as impact you can get your hands on. The 28mm fits tighter than 1-1/8”. I still wore out two impact sockets just changing out one set of...

    MV - Heavy Equipment Discussions?

    I would think by time the G rolled out A/C should have been an option, but not necessarily for the military. Any chance you have, or have checked the D7G Cat manuals? If Cat ever optioned A/C for the G it should be in there. If not stop by or call your local Cat dealer, they are “usually” very...

    M939 series 5 ton capacities

    I just ordered 1984 version, but it has changes 1-4, and a little beat up. I will update when I get eyes on.

    M923 receiver/hitch assembly

    The more I think about it, with as much as these trucks flex, I would cut the hitch back off and make it bolt onto the bottom of the frame…

    M923 receiver/hitch assembly

    Not trying to be offensive, but I would not trust it. I see a lot of issues with design and installation. Those braces should not be attached to the bed. Square or a rectangular cross tube would be a better option to mount the receiver to instead of pipe. The side plates look like they could...

    Too far gone? 800 series dump truck

    Heck no! If the price is right? Thats all easy stuff, consider yourself lucky you don’t live in the rust belt...

    M923 External Air

    I’m not around my truck this week, but what I suggested “should” be fairly easy. Tee in a quick coupler and add a check valve just before the horn solenoid on the firewall that is just before the horns. The electric side, IIRC the horn button completes the ground side of the circuit? If so you...
