The key for my M920 fits all my M915A1's, as well as every one at the Jeff City lot (25+), as well as several M916's that I have tried.
So, yes, they are interchangable.

The first thing that I check on a truck (or any vehicle) is the brakes!
Aside from simply stepping on the brake pedal and feeling pressure (or not), look under the vehicle, on the inside of the tires. Look for brake fluid leaking out of wheel cylinders and leaving a trail on the inside of the...
I once did some mental math as to what I have parked in my yard.
300,000 lbs, $90,000.
Bought another 70,000 lbs today.
They're green and fun. They're not cheap.

Three letters. C D L (commercial drivers license).
I live in MO, and to "legally" drive my M920, I need a CDL, simply based upon weight and air brakes.
Farm, or not. Collector, or not. C D L. Legally speaking, no exceptions.
Realistically? No comment :grin:... Have I ever been pulled over...
My vehicles cost me money. 2cents
I worked hard for it and I enjoy spending every cent (ever see a u-haul behind a hearse? You can't take it with you, so enjoy it. Spend it, or give it away to a good charity).
The enjoyment that I get from driving them, and the thrill of the recovery are...
I can't help w/ a source, but for lubrication on the 20" HEMTT Wheels that use a similar o-ring, I use liquid dish soap. I'd think that it would work in your case, as well.

James is correct, the PLS wheels shown will NOT fit an M809 series truck.
The 10-hole pattern on the PLS wheels is the larger, truck pattern.
The tires will work fine, but you'll need different wheels. As for what to look for, check for any deep cuts / gouges and make sure that they hold...
In MO a CDL is required as well for anything over 26K w/ air brakes (except RV's).
Look's like I'll finally have to get my class A. The paper test looks easy enough, now to see if I can convince a local freight company that I spend some serious $$$ with to let me *ahem* "borrow" a truck...
You sure could, if you're using it for farming.
These trucks would cost $40-$70K (if not more) if they were non-mil surplus, and would have 300K miles on them. On GL, you can get an M920 and have it hauled across the country for $10K or less, w/ less then 50K miles. Add $1K-$2K for some...
For fifth wheel height issues, I plan on removing the large pin hitch and the ramps. I will then install a low profile 2-1/2" hitch approx 2' further back.
That should work on every non-military trailer that is on the road today, as long as the landing gear will raise the trailer up to the...
Shipping will be approx $2.50-$3.50/mile. It'll need to be loaded on an RGN (lowboy) due to height and weight issues. No oversize or overweight permit is needed. The truck itself weighs 32K lbs, so a RGN will easily handle it.
I recently had one hauled from Ft Stewart, GA to StL for $2300. A...
You can have them made.
Look up a local o-ring supplier (there's lots of them, more then you'd think). You need a 61" long (measured from the centerline of the o-ring) by 3/8" dia. Material needs to be heat resitant, and flexible in the cold, as well as resistant to oils.
Lead time is...
