The kingpin diameter is measured at the smalest part of the shaft so I think yours that you measured on your other trailer is a 2" . I am not aware of a 3" kingpin. The sizes jump from 2" to 3.5"
Also, I looked at my XM747 and it would be a very big job to change out the kingpin on that...
Yeah thanks....I actually really like this forklift....had it for a few years and this is the first time I stuck it.....normally that thing will go anywhere....this time it was the ice on the plowed part of the road, that got me i think...

Jim,
I'm sorry....I told you wrong and you are correct. I for some reason had it all backwards. I just went and looked on my 916 and those two wires do go to the empty post on your volt meter!
My bad....should have went and looked before I opened my mouth... :roll:

Well...they are ground wires....they don't have to be there, they can be anywhere on chassis "ground"...but if the starter button and everything else works, I would leave them there.
Just run the hot wire I mentioned above, and that should take care of the volt meter not working....of course...
You are missing the hot wire to the volt meter. Not sure where it is or what happened to it in your truck, but you can easily fix it by running a jumper wire from the "ignition" + terminal of the ignition switch to the empty terminal on the volt meter and it should start working.
Hope this...
Here is a rear quarter view.....
And here are some more pics of some "BAD**S" field retrofits....I specially like the M1070 and the "Mercedes" :jumpin:

Thanks for sharing the good story....could have been my luck! Looks like you got some really cool stuff....hey at least the Gun Cart stayed dry....right? :smile:

The 7155 cat tranny uses 30 weight syntetic engine oil....not sure what the military puts in to them. The filter is just a screen that you clean out and reuse.
I have not had or heard of any problems with the M916-920 front hubs. Repacked mine when I changed the gears and just keep them...
Since there was the preception of a "heat wave" in Chama today.....28F up from -22F the other morning....I decided to unload my Mk48 cab from the neck of the M870A1.
Well....I got close...I got my USMC 4x4 forklift / howitzer mover stuck.....
Tried to pull it out with my Dodge 1 ton but since...
