Normally, when buying another car, I automatically change the oil, oil filters, fuel filters, belts, and depending on the age also all the other oils like gearbox and brakes. With this 5-ton multi-fuel, I am a bit unclear what the best stategy is. This specific vehicle has never or not often...

What is the correct paint for the later M39 - M5x series trucks (and presumably everything else as well). I have a 1973 Kaiser dump truck, in one color, and like to at least repaint some rusted areas. From the Olive Drab website, I figured out some numbers for the 1968 - 1984 period. OD...

Noticed that under the resources, this depot manual for the M39 series is not mentioned. Found them by accident and downloaded it. This link will bring you to the page which has the entire part, you can download it as pdf file through the link in the right upper side. Maybe one fo the...

OK countdown is running. Next Saturday, if nothing goes wrong :drool: (touch wood, burn a candle, vingers crossed, etc, don't be too optimistic), I will take possesion of my first truck, a M51A2 (with pictures). ONe week later, I have an appointment with the "State Road Service" to get the thing...

I am busy with getting a 1973 Kaiser Jeep Corporation M51A2 multi-fuel, hope to pick it up October 2 or so. From what I read, I think it comes fitted with the LDS-465-1A Turbo Multifuel (as opposed to the ...1). Seeing the picture, can anybody say if this is correct or not :oops:? Problem...

Maybe wrong place to post, but I ran out of ideas. I am trying to find the current counterpart of GL on the European mainland. The one in the UK is easy to find; I think its actually part of the same company as GL. There should be one in Germany as well. Actually the main location of the DoD...

Thought I would share this with you. Went to a very local "old trucks show" close to where we live. We had our last action in our museum, so I had to sneak out in the afternoon shortly to visit the event. Thanks to the rain, most trucks (9 out of 13) were out already. Too bad. The small...

Can anybody post pics of the ID - tag (or how you call it) of a M52A2 tractor made by the Kaiser Jeep Corporation, preferably a late 60s or early 70s? The picture shows the tag I mean. Basically the weight and dimension data and vehicle identifiaction as they appear on a real tractor, so I...

:drool::drool: nice pics to look at, but too far away to be of much use :drool::drool: Wheels The pictures at the top were made by some Dutch on vacation in France this year! Came accross this scrap yard. The yard's website is Surplus Militaire Industriels

Checked some old treads and the resource section, but either I am too tired (it's around midnight here now) or the - links to - the technical manuals for the M39 series are gone up in the air, unfindable, out. In the older treads I found, the search and link options did not give a good result...

I am busy getting an M51A2, as explained in the linked thread. I put this question also in the 5-ton section, no takers yet, thought I try this forum as well. Trying to figure out as much options as possible beforehand. Did anybody has ever tried to make a cargo- or dump truck into tractor...

I am busy getting an M51A2, as explained in the linked thread. Trying to figure out as much options as possible beforehand. Probably lots of people already did this, but does anybody has ever tried to make a dump truck - tractor combo? Meaning, being able to take of the dump bed and install a...

From a complete newby, who has been dreaming about this for years. We more or less are getting a M51 dump truck for scrapp price. We will use it and some other old equipment in our non-profit project to restore a small-gauge railroad and for demonstrations and events. Problem is, I have to...
