I've put a few things in wrong before, but I never put the dash back in upside down. We were known for putting a lot of adult beverages down while working here in the motorpool. We always got the steering wheel back where it is supposed to be. Some things are not ment to be messed with, and...

Perhaps you are not reading the plackards correctly. Isn't the transfer case reversed on the 920 with Low Range in the upward position? I don't have one my self but there was a recent post on here indicating that. If any one wants to flame me, bring it on. Its early and I have only had one...

Chain em up, then you will be satisfied. Old NDT tires suck.

This as far as i can follow this thread. You guys have shown me ho little I know about Multifuel engines. I have to stop now, my brain has been reduced to mush. Have a Happy New Year everyone.

When we rebuilt the LDS in the Untouchable, we ordered parts from Memphs. The manual and part number for the wristpin on the LDS said we would have a solid wrist pin in that can. Memphis said they no longer have the solid ones in stock and they have had no trouble using the hollow one from the...

Looks like ya need a couple headlight bulbs or yer gonna have to restrict yourself to daytime driving. Good luck with your " Bargain"

Early in 65/67 as the change over from the old Bullseye or Zero type mirrors. The only trucks we had in Europe with west coast style mirrors were the M123 Ten Ton tractors. As the truck drivers in the field were able to score mirror arms they began to use the kits that were made for the ten...

I think you had to use three men to pull the cable out is because of not using it regularly. We seldom used more than two troopers to pull enough cable out to hook it up to a mutt. I believe that is the best way to pay out the cable. It has the power to keep the cable flat and it saves a lot of...

Coal Cracker, How do you get a fox to pee in your truck????

Ya can't have too many five tons. I have three now. after I tried to downsize to Jeeps. got a couple jeeps and realized I needed another five ton. Used to be addicted to deuces but found that five tons are a better high. Buy another five ton so I don't have to, please.aua

Just don't fill it with gas to check for leaks after soldering it. Don't ask how I know that.

It's a winner for sure. Little underpowered for towing but a great recovery truck. Good luck with it.

I suppose one could do the clutch, and rear main seal in six hours but, ya have to add time for beer. It is a job that should not be undertaken with out lots of beer and friends to go get some more. We are fortunate to live accross the street from the beer store. We also have all the stuff...

As soon as you guys get finished re inventing the brake system, Get one on a truck and post lots of pictures. Please keep it sinple. I have three M39 series trucks and have had my share of brake problems. So I would sure like to see a good mod for the trucks. I favor a split M/C over any...

Geeze, Now I'm really nervous. All I have in the motorpool is Five tons. **** dogs don't have not hunt in them either. and they are the worst watch dogs in town. Now I gotts sit around locked and loaded. I always hated guard duty.For the price these things are bringing on the open market or...

Read the TM's It states in there to disconnect the Batteries before any welding on the truck. I don't remember which one or where it says to do that but some times the fog lifts and things come back to me. That was one of them. I think they were refering to the flamable vapor that is...

They are not inter changeable. The filters add a lot of weght and stress on the fenders. The 813/16 have a much stronger brace under the fender to accomidate the extra weight of the filter can. I'm having a hard time finding filters now for my M 54's and I don't know if there is a civi...

Barney, the five tons are the same. there is a plug on both sides of the steering knuckle that you remove while pumpiing in the grease, when you reassemble it. the excess grease comes out the other side and you know you have it filled with grease. out side of that the process is almost the...

Using a wheel dolly is the best way to remove the wheels with the drum. It makes the job a lot simpler and safer. I think that you should check or replace the axel breathers. make the fluid level one knuckle down from the bottom of the hole. shine up the surfave where seal rides with emery...
