Hey, guys, M715 parts are getting short. Even suppliers, which 6 years ago had parts in stock, run short these days. The M715 is a truck which seems not to be interesting for partrs dealers or for remade parts. Number to small. Unfortionationally I can say nothing about Koreran parts in relation...

The whinch set costs in running order 1500 bucks, the rest of the truck: depends on the condition. There are very many places you do not see from outside, where the brown gold is bussy. So I would estimate, for also the deep fording kit once was instaled, a maximum of 5000 $, probabely less. I...

The brake shoes are for the front and rear shoe the same. The brake design is a duo servo brake, so both shoes are the same to generate the same braking force forward and rearward. The easyest is to get the them relined with a quarter inch brake lining, preferly asbestos free. A qualified brake...

The pic of the M715E1 I have seen before, however never got infos about the detailed differances. Thanks for the post. Wolf

And some more... Some show the flee market. The tank ride is for about five Euro for 15 min. on a Hotchkiss.

1000 kwith a Japanese Jeep This weekend I was in Pocking with my Mitsubishi Jeep, a 1000 km trip. Some pics from the vehicles involved. The VW181 had to drive 1000 km (one way) from the far north to the far south of Germany. The Heli is a Bell 47C in private hands, flights for 50 Euro per...

If you love yourail gate and yourt rear window as well as the right or left side rear fender, you leave the spare tire where it belongs to. The other way round: how to drive a patrol with 2 guys on the fold down tail gate if one of them has to hold the spare tire carrier not to slam the side of...

The swich becomes a problem with over 250000 miles, covered and filled with dust. Total replacement is the final solution. Wolf.D

The first one is a historic picture. The actual version have a mine manipulating arm in front. The later is considered to be a competitor to the 6x4 Gator with higher speed and unfortunately higher ground pressure. Wolf D.

Why to care for that, we drive vintage vehicles! As long as they do not kik them out of traffic... On Parades they like to see the old stuff!!! In Japan vehicles with gas engine and without catalist are not allowed to drive any more on public roads (off roads nobody cares). The only problem is...

I have to to correct my last statement. The bolt size is M10 X 1.25, which is a standard metric sice. The US bolt head is 15 mm which is very simmelar to 9/16 inch depending on the toleracnes of the tools. We in Europe replace the Detroit Diesel-bolts as far as possible by standard metric nuts...

IT IS METRIC! Wolf

The US Army run with the M-Series truck in question in Germany as a standard between 55 and 60 mph. They did not care for fuel consumtion. But the trucks are made for that. So I do not a see any hassard to go at 45 or somethoing lower. Run them, they need it. Keep them rolling! Wolf

Simply depends on your skil, lets say 2 1/2 hours to two days. Wolf

Hey, try to get the installation on the bed removed. It is not military. The seats look o.K., even remade for a fire truck or else. The original stufff is close to dead due to its age. This is to make it a MV. But if you want to keep it at civilian use do not mind to rebuilt and make the...
