    Is this wheel unusable?

    I remember that. Those were the days in Austin when you could get to work in 5minutes. Later, I sure enough got out.

    M880 truck

    Our Volunteer Fire Department had one for 2 or so years. It was rust proofed in the ZBart style with the plastic plugs in the usual places. It came from one of the defense reutilization yards. No rust on the truck.

    The-10 operator's manual has that. I think you can download them on this site. I saw a paper hardcopy manual for gas Reos for sale recently, don't remember where.

    Someone tampered with Sgt York!

    Put a lock on your fuel cap. Diesel is too costly not to mention contamination worries. I'm sorry you have to go through this.

    Axle Flange Gasket or Sealant

    The Loctite 518 is good stuff. I've had good success with home made gaskets coated both sides with Hylomar. Must let the Hylomar dry for 5 or 10 minutes or you will have a leak. Gaskets thus treated are often reusable.

    M916 conversion to 2500 Gallon Tanker/Pumper for a volunteer fire department

    Never mind, I didn't realize it is a rear winch.

    M916 conversion to 2500 Gallon Tanker/Pumper for a volunteer fire department

    You might want to rethink winch removal. You will eventually stick the tanker and it will be really hard to extract. Been there, didn't get a tee shirt. I've been a VFD member for 30 plus years.

    Bad day for an M52A1

    That is a good idea if labor and time is available.

    Bad day for an M52A1

    Sorry to hear that. Even if you get a good replacement truck, there is still all the labor and expense of fitting out for fire service.

    M35A2 6 wheel lock up!

    Check and make sure the brake linkage has a small amount of free play before it contacts the master cylinder piston.

    Continental 6602 engines

    I was wondering how many 5 tons owned by members in the forums are still running the 6602 engines. How are the trucks used?
