Made my own. Buy 4' 2x4 mild steel .25 thick. Buy 2000lb trailer Jack from bull dog. Best with removable lock pin to take off after use. Also try to get one with adjustable drop leg. Quicker. And easier to use. Another option is to mount a Jack on each side of the loader. More stable and...

To access the 4x4 selector switch to replace you have to tilt. There is a small access hole under the cab at actuator. Spray some LPS1 IN THERE FIRST. Be gentle it should start working. Dirt gets in there and won't allow it to move. The actuators are expensive.

Hoping to get some help with you all. I'm having a bit of difficulty in troubleshooting some items. 1. RPM GUAGE DOESN'T WORK. 2. HYDRAULIC COOLER stopped working.(spinning] 3. Batteries are only charging to 23 volts... which over time depletes battery. Batteries are new...50 amp voltage cut...

Well its a happy day. I already mentioned the fuel system is rejuvenated....I capped it off with a new fuel sender....cleaned out the tank 2xs. In the end a fuel lift pump was the issue. Fast forward...4wd is working fine...instead of replacing the switch like I did...spray some LPS1 in the...

Replaced Fuel lift pump. Mog starts up good.

Evening you all. Have had a wonderful time getting this SEE up and running again. Fluids, filters, air system with new tank, complete fuel system rebuild except IP, now onto the coolant side. So sad the government didn't take good care of these machines.

3 Point the body......The Unimog and others usually do a 3 point mount...Engines are usually 3 point mounted already. I don't see why the same would not work with a truck like this. Just havet to build your own triangle mounts. 1 on the front...hard mount the middle...1 on the rear. Usually...

I've heard so many things...but lets get one thing straight....They are unique. I've owned many military trucks the consensus of most is they are all hard to work on...ie..M1070LOL! You have to be Quadruple jointed to work on it. This isn't the only time a vehicle/tractor has gotten ripped...

extra info Well. Problem resolved. It turned out to be the fuel pump. The old one had seized and destroyed the pump. Easy fix. New pump installed. Runs great now. From the looks of the new drive fork...they are reinforced. Total cost of new part....pump...gasket...fittings...$170.00.

I have ddec 3. I'll be checking too see if the the tube is connected. Thanks for the tip.

Morning everyone. I have a Oshkosh M1070 with the 2-stroke Detroit 8v92ta. I was hoping to find some answers here for my low power/low idle issue. Max rpm at this time is 1000-1100rpms. No CEL's. I was driving said vehicle down the road and everything was running beautifully. Just hit...

Changed out secondary fuel filter...Still no change.

Hmmm. Will check.

Just an update....Truck started this morning and it ran fine...went to town and it was all of a sudden...like a break...sudden loss of power. Idle only...limped it back to base....idle is smooth but rough at higher rpms. Will change filters....(1)passenger side fuel filter and one fuel water...

I'll be using Pro One#2 grease...it holds up better and is supreme. 40wt if I can find it up here in the Baaken...seems funny we'd have an issue with that up here in the oil patch. STRAIGHT 30 is my next choice. Need to order a new dimmer switch anybody have one they want to sell? Curious...

Well...Elton was a God send. He was able to fix several things... 1)No start...fixed...starter will need replacing someday. It works now. 2)Jake Brake...hi/low fixed 3)Air leak -identified leak...new fitting needed. 4)Tire leak...fixed(fixed two rims with loose nuts securing bead to tire)...

Afternoon folks....well I purchased a battery box heater and a engine block heater this week. Although no stranger here to working on Oshkosh trucks it's seems alot more crowded than my Unimog especially with the height already. Does anybody have a options list of the m1070 for winterizing...

thanks for the response...just was wondering if a immersion style heater was the best way to go as I have them installed on my own vehicles but is this the best on the Detroit Diesels?

Well...I own a M1070 and it's probably never seen the kind've weather it's going to see in Montana...so I'm going to add a Battery box heater and insulate the box to keep as much heat inside. Now to the Engine and coolant....Does anybody know the size of the lower radiator hose off hand? Or...

I understand the power is there....Power is great but I'm exploring options in the axle itself...gearing...planetaries...maybe there are other options that way we can increase mileage too but stay under 2200 rpms max....60-65mph...
