One of my head light rubber mounts is broken and needs to be replaced, Are they commonly available or is there a good glue to fix the rubber? Thanks,

Hi, I have two extra red lenses that I'd like to swap for two amber ones, anybody got extras? Thanks,

Does anybody have an "official" view of the illumination pattern of the BO driving light as seen from the side? I'd prefer a diagram from a TM if possible. Thanks,

Devilman asked for this, hope this is enough detail. (Artwork doodle by my daughter)

I think that we often forget that these vehicles were designed to operate at temperatures as low as -65°, that's 65 degrees below zero. It is very possible IMHO, that odd features like oil filter canisters that drain into the oil pan after engine shut-down are part of this general requirement...

Just curious, but who made your mullti? My deuce has a Hercules and the XM757 has a Continental. If you list something under "other" let me know and I'll add that to the poll.

Several items have been stripped from my XM757 8x8 over the years and one such thing is the black out light plus mounting bracket. Found this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=020&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=300076256685&rd=1,1 The sellers...

Perhaps someone here knows where to find these, the fitting on the left, it fits the SAE 45° flare or maybe it's the 37°, can't tell for sure. I can't find a listing anywhere and need a couple of them for a fuel filter project on the XM757, where they are used. Thanks,

I have two of these devices, one 220VAC unit, which Kenny gave me a couple of years ago and one 110VAC unit, which was installed on the XM757 engine. I'm thinking more seriously about using these now in light of "dry start" oiling problems discussed in other threads. Heating the coolant/engine...

From the "Florida round up" thread: I think this is important enough to show in detail. The oil line is shown in the images below. It connects to the fitting labeled "B" in the second picture.

Since there is an ongoing discussion on how to improve the multifuel engine oil filtering, why not open the board for your opinions on what makes the oil dirty in the first place. How does the air filter effect the particle count in the oil, how does the use of the engine (driving vs idling )...

Could the use of an innertube have prevented this (image)? Does the innertube make radials safer when the old rubber begins to show signs of "dry rot"? The tires on the M656/XM757/XM791 trucks are tubeless radials.

Hi, I have a damaged castle nut that needs to be replaced and cannot find a description for it other than a general one, "Nut slotted" or something to that effect. The Number is MS35692-77 and is for the tierod end shown in the image below. It appears to be a metric 24 mm. The tractor place here...

Is there any way to add a counter to show number of "visits" for a particular ad? Mike? Thanks.

My multifuel has been making a "clack, clack" noise for some time, perhaps for 6,000 miles now. It comes from the upper portion of the engine and occurs about 3 to 4 times/second at approx 800 rpm. Hard to tell, but could be #5 or #6 piston. It is more pronounced at low rpms and can not be heard...

As seen in the image below, the clear space in front of the 5th wheel is about 1/2 of what I have found on other truck-tractors. Is this truck designed for only one type trailer? Goose neck type trailers only, like the M269/M270 or is there enough room for trailers like the M313 or M750 for...

When I visited Leonardo Jones in Sacramento several months ago, he introduced me to something new, a "motor pool horn" he called it, something to use around town as opposed to the air horn for the highway. His Baby Hemtt has two horns. Does anybody else have two horns, one electric and one air?

The M39 series 5-ton and 2-1/2 ton trucks have different air horn NSN's, do they also sound different? Deuce horn: 2590-00-900-1640 5-ton (M39): 2945-00-240-1684 5-ton (M923): Same as deuce horn

As you know by now, the primary role for the M656 series 8x8 trucks was that of servicing the Pershing missle system. The XM757's were used for a good 15 years and then replaced with 10-ton tractors, M983 and/or MAN trucks. The missile erector/launcher was equipped with a small crane to...
