The air compressor matches the one in the TM exactly and the model number is almost the same. FWIW.
The TM says you can't put duals on a M34, but here we have that. The way the frame is welded and the inner frame is not, and is one piece, am wondering if some where converted to heavy (dual...
Here is a better shot of the data plate and the floor, and Gold Comet cast on the exhaust manifold. I forgot that these where in the auction catalog....
Thanks for the help,

The double frame looks like it goes the whole way, but can't tell if under the cab how far. If you look close you can see the weld. I provide a side profile as well..
What is a (the) REB transfer shift kit??
Here are a couple more pictures of the transmissions that I won. It say Cummins, but its a SAE of some size. I have zero experience with REO engines and not slure if they use SAE bell patterns etc..
And one picture of my helper today!!!
Thanks for looking,

OK, was back at day 2 of the auction. Ventured over to the Duece and got a couple more pics. Poor, but best I could do because of the sun. I'll get better ones.
The data plates says M34 and no winch. The other tag is really hard to read, but I can bearly make out Eager Beaver (?) and is...
All,
I bought another Military Vehicle today. I tried to search just M34 on here, but too short to work in the search, and if I add anything it goes down the proverbial rabbit hole.
Anyway, haven't got it home yet, but from what I can read it's a 1950 M34 Model OC-54 with a REO Gold Comet gas...
Oh, forgot, I had saved these pictures. This is the gamble I took. No preview nor did I kick the tires.
As I said before, I won it for $1300.00, "towed on lot"
Turned out to be a runner with 47,000 miles. Not even broke in for a diesel.

I bought mine 1/09 through GL. From Ft McCoy (Sparta). Close enough for me to trailer home.
Advertised as, "towed on lot" with 47,000 miles.
I was looking for a new snow plow rig as the one I had was rusted badly. I didn't care if it ran as I was going to put a gasser in it. It was a...
Got it done. Couldn't find a inch pound torque wrench up town, went to the neighbors, he had two and gave me one. S-K. Can't beat that.
Now I see both my tail pipes are broken off at the hanger and there is a hole in one of the mufflers. That will be next.

It had a Gov-Loc with clutch packs. Never saw them together before. Anyway the new one is going to be open. Don't need a locker for what I do. And it should work better in tight spaces. Like plowing. I only do six driveways. Not because I want to, but because I have too.
So far, I am...
doghead,
I come to realize, I may have only looked here in the past and never posted. I can't remmember. I am getting old. I do believe I did have a login and password. But I could be wrong.
If you can look at my profile and see if anything matches up and delete my older user name. I...
Sorry about that, but tried for 30 minutes and couldn't get any thing to work. I think my old login would have been cb1. Not sure on that.
Thanks,

All,
Haven't been on here in a couple years, so I come on as a new member as I forgot what email or user name, etc. No biggie.
Anyway, I purchased a M1009 from Ft McCoy about 3 years ago and have used it for just about everything to include snow plowing. This summer I was towing a...
