Hi, I’m looking for a hard copy, not downloaded from the internet, M54A2 series tech manual. I’m looking for the -20 in hope that there will be a wiring schematic attached to it. Might be in the -34 TM. Would anyone have a copy with the schematic included?

I printed up the M809 series schematic. It is very close to the M54 series. I’ve been able to track down wire numbers 10, 17, 27, 28, 27, and others. Still having difficulty with the no longer identified wires. It’s slow going but that’s the only choice. Get too frisky with speeding up and I...

Hit a bit of a blockage. The wiring is proving difficult to determine where to attach the various components. Some are easy; the oil pressure, fuel quantity, temperature and some of the lights. What’s really confusing are wires that aren’t numbered, weren’t identified by previous owners, wired...

Finished with the repairs to the instrument panel. Replaced and repaired broken wires, broke Gauges, corrosion, etc. Had to pick up some heat shrink from HF. Good stuff and a good price. Didn’t have any left over from the last big repair job.. Pics:

Thank you! No matter what I tried, it kept posting them upside down.

Not much to report. I’ve been chasing and repairing wiring. Also been rebuilding the instrument cluster. While the wiring hasn’t been the mess I suspected it might be, there’s still quite a few repairs to make. I’ll post pictures once all the myriad problems get fixed.

The fifth mount that I’m using came off a M931. I searched high and low for the parts I needed for my correct 5th mount but no luck. I got pretty much everything from the spare tire carrier to the ramps from either a M931 or a M818. The problem with going this way comes from the re-enforcement...

Thats pretty danged cool!

I checked all the posts before adding to this thread. One of the time honored military gotchas involves “tagging”. All my time in service was spent on helicopters. When you visit a base with one of your birds, the challenge was to tag the visitor with your unit “tag” it could be a sticker or a...

I wonder if this would work:

Thank you for the info! I found a new replacement data plate. I’ll use it based on the title. It gets too confusing if I do it any other way.

Got the old and nasty dash removed. Only broke one screw. I also had to cut the head off another. Stripped it of all usable parts and I’ll set it aside for now. Not sure if I want to mess with it. Got the replacement all scuff sanded, rust managed and primered. I like using Rustoleum Rusty Metal...

Wow, it’s been a long time since I updated this thread. I’ve got the M931 fifth wheel assembly in place. Still pondering how it will get attached to the frame. One of the myriad tasks that need completing is replacing the dash. I’ve had the replacement for quite some time but I’ve had other more...

Replacing the M1 with a tank more fitted to the strategy envisioned with a smaller more capable armored vehicle makes sense. Think WW II. The M3 Stewart worked quite well in the earlier island battles the Marine Corps fought in. The larger M4 was an improvement and finished up the war as the...

It’s finally turning the corner. There’s still some repair work to do but I’m now able to start painting parts in their final coloring.

Do you have a part number or description of the adapter?

You probably have this one as well. One problem I ran across, can’t remember what engine, where is was a crack in the metal inside the piston wall. You may have already covered this but run a compression check, if that’s even possible, and see if you are losing enough compression to fubar the...
