I'll throw my Coleman tug in the mix. Don't see much specialized equipment postings. This is 1 of 30 modified for the specific task of pulling bomb trailers from the dump to the flight line.

I voted for 603hellmutt because I think his 5 ton is just as nice as the others and no one voted for it.

I replaced the window regulators in the driver and passenger doors. Who thought plastic pulleys and metal chain was a good idea. The manuals didn't have the part numbers but I found the manufactures mark on the regulators and although they don't make these obsolete parts, they put me in touch...

Well I won this last year from the GSA auction and thought I'd post some pictures and share some info I found out about it. This is 1 of 30 that the USAF modified specifically for use as a tug to tow bomb trailers. The modification has to do with the addition of an air system to accommodate for...

It took me 6 months and $$ to find these.

Sure sounds like you have a grounding issue. Have you swapped out your turn signal module?

If you has access to a copy machine put the housing on it and make a copy. Use the copy as a template and make a new gasket.

Everything goes through the light switch and since some things work and others don't I'd say the switch is internally shorted.

When you say new, do you mean it was overhauled or was it NOS? If you put an NOS carb on it that maybe your problem. The accelerator pump in the carb might have dried out and have a hole in it or it shrunk from improper storage. Another thing to look at is the choke. It will give you starting...

I just replaced mine because I had to replace the rear main oil seal. My old one was a 4 finger and the one I put in was 3 finger. One word of advice is when you replace the throw out bearing also replace the bearing carrier. It adds a few bucks more to the job but everything will be new and clean.

Where are you in Montana. Don't worry I have no interest in the location of the truck. There just aren't many of us MV minded people up this way.

I've seen these posts many times and always wondered, why would you buy a vehicle located on the opposite end of the country? I understand the guys in the rust belt coming out west or going south to find a nice truck, but to go from So Cal to the east coast. :shrugs: I'm sure you can find a...

It took awhile but I finally finished replacing the rear main seal and clutch assembly on Saturday. The whole job was easy but was delayed by other pressing issues. The transmission was a breeze to reinstall and its nice when things line up correctly. Took it for a test drive and everything...

Anyone know the total units produced under this contract? I contacted AM General and they say that info wasn't available to them in the data base. Anyway I found that there were 400 assigned to that contract but not sure if that was the requested amount or produced.

Just putting this out there in case anyone is interested. This is the 1st ever military museum show and swap meet. Hopefully this will be a success and lead to more shows in the area. http://goresmilitarymuseum.webs.com/

Your on official orders so any tolls paid can be claimed on your travel voucher. (Sarcasm Removed) However, I was born and raised in Chicago. I left there when I was 21 for the military and never looked back. I agree with others that if you can avoid the area you'd be better off.

Can't find info and TM doesn't go into detail. I have the bolts removed from the carrier and now I need to know how the carrier comes off. I've been tapping it with a mallet but nothing. How did you guys get them off?

So I've been researching threads looking for info on clutch aligning tools. Someone posted the NSN for the military kit 5180-00-449-3785. I crossed that to a Snap On kit, P/N A37M. I really don't need the kit so I kept on looking through threads and someone else posted measurements of the inside...
