Picked up a runner from the auctions. Somewhere along the line they half ass converted it to 12v
seems to have 12v starter and alt and possibly the light bulbs as well..
that all good but the heater motor is original 24v and I suspect the lift pump is as well. I can hear it running. Truck runs...
Ok, ran into a problem doing an axle shaft seal on my 923.
pulled it apart. Between the axle shaft and the axle tube seal I found 2 washers(TM 9-2320-272-34p1, pg172 ,fig 172, ref 34 ,nsn 5310-00-03306007)
one of them fits nicely in the bore between the axle and the seal but the other doesn't...
I sold my M1009 and have to deliver it around 90 miles away . I have to flat tow it with the med duty towbar with my M1008 because I cannot get a second driver. Should I pull the rear driveshaft or can I just put the t case in neutral ?
Hey anyone ever try it ?
I realize a million threads on putting a Deuce bed on an M818 tractor but I'm thinking about doing it to an M813.
I have an 813 that needs a cab and bed. I have a deuce I cut up for parts with a clean cab and bed. The Deuce bed looks like it will fit without shortening...
Well, much sadness but I sold my M52a2. It went to a good home. So I pulled my M813 out of mothballs and want to get going on it to ease my pain of loss .
This truck is missing some parts but the big item is the air cleaner. Someone hacked an M39 series onto it so I need to get the correct...
Ok been playing with this thing for awhile and still trying to figure out what I actually have. Someone told me the windshield hinges indicated it's a mid 60's IHC gasser that was converted to a Mack driveline. Judging by the horrible conversion, that looks to be accurate. All the holes for the...
I have a heater from a Deuce which I believe is the same as my M52a1 would use but for the life of me I can't see where I would hook up heater hoses on the engine. Mine has a Mack ENDT 673 and I could not find any TM covering a heater with this engine.
Ok what do you call the part that mounts on top of the front bumper where either the clevis goes or the towbar hooks to ? This is the part bolted to the truck .
I was towing an M103a3 back from New Hampshire and was stuck in traffic on I495. Was crawing along for about 20 mins when all of a sudden, the truck died.
I was lucky it was downhill and I was able to coast to the shoulder. After cranking it for a bit, it started and idled but stalled again as...
Nice score from the auctions. They both look pretty clean. Where should I start ?
They both need batteries. Can I get some pointers on the initial "try to fire them up" ?
Aside from the obvious(fuel,oil)What do I need to know ?
I did read the wiki posted above.
Won a truck from them and got the release but for the life of me can't figure out how to apply for the SF-97, They have not responded to my inquiry on it and I find no place on their website to apply for it. It was not sold as Salvage or scrap so I should be able to get one no ? Anyone deal with...
What would be the appropriate towbar to use ? Can a 5 ton even tow an M1009(M923 much higher).
I have an event coming up that I would like to flat tow an old M1009 to with my 5 ton.
I'm not sure if my side racks are backwards or not. Right now the wood is facing in. Should it face out ?
I grabbed this pic off the net but they almost look backwards.
I am told this means the transmission is toast ? Please tell me this isn't the case. Sounds like a faint low air warning buzzer. The truck still seems to drive fine in fact it went away at one point.
I should have kept my Deuce.
