Its been snowing here south of Denver for 2 days. Got about 2 feet at my house. Went out in the BV found both neighbors buried at the end of their driveways. Easy pull for the BV in low range. Barely get off idle to pull them out. One of these times I'll get a video. Included some other...

On a short trip my clutch pedal went to the floor with no resistance. It appears the throw bearing had seized and collasped into itself on the carrier. Got to use a good friends cool transmission hoist/winch that is placed on the cab's floor over the tunnel. There was a post sometime back on the...

While out fighting snow man terrorists drove the deuce over the snow mound I had taken the BV over.

Driving around in the good snow we got here south of Denver and stopped to see a friend plowing. Drove through a snow covered field and stopped to talk. When I headed back to the truck, I noticed fuel pouring out from underneath the engine bay. The smaller 1/4 inch feed line from the...

Finally had a decent snow south of Denver. Plowed up a snow hill and drove the M973 up on it. Will try to put the video on of it driving over this mound. In low range it will almost idle over this size hill.

Can anyone provide the length of the vertical aircleaner intake extension pipe for the 5 ton Cummins kit? (The extension for the mushroom cap) Thanks

Found a good place to mount the two anchor spades on my tractor that came off a 800 series wrecker. Front sockets have been mounted under he bumper and was looking for a place for these. I think I found it. Fabricated a rear mounting bracket that the eye end drops in to and gets pinned...

Anyone have a good source for a throwout bearing for an M818?? Mine went out luckily only 4 miles from my house and even luckier a fellow club member's truck was at my house WITH a towbar in its bed. No pics of the tow. It looks like the the throwout bearing collapsed into itself. I slowly...

Now it looks like even the smallest items on GL start out with a minimum bid of $150. At least in Colorado. Is that way everywhere else now? I have picked up a real nice gas powered compressor for $50 and a bunch of different cargo/truck tops in 2 big boxes for $50 also. Gone are those days...

Picked up a real sweet M129 12 ton van trailer and three rollaway tool/parts racks/bins today at Fort Carson GL yard. Trailer is a 1989 model with full airbarkes. Outstanding condition. Busy day at the yard. Had to wait on two M101 trailers and a deuce to be picked up before we cleared. We...

PICS Hooked up my M101 behind the BV for a test tow. Appears to be a pretty good match and looks right at home behind it. Follows the track marks nicely. Don't know how the trailer will ride in deep snow.

While pulling the 2 rear injectors to swap with the 2 front injectors to trace "cold cylinders" (the 2 rear are running way cooler than the other 4 as measured with an IR thermometer), the number 2 injector plunger decided to fall out on me and drop through the rocker box, pinball around down...

On my M818, it loses prime now after sitting for only a few days. Until I can replace all the fuel lines, would pressuring the selected tank with a few PSI work to get a positive supply of fuel to the pump. NAPA has these real short bolt on tire valve stems that could easliy be installed on a...

We had a lineup of a few 5 tons and also wound a front winch line on correctly. A 1972 M818, I think a 1972 M813 and a 1958 M54. Also, anyone ever put a M818 and M813 bumper to bumper. Looks like in one of these pics that the tractor sits higher. Check out the pics.

Need help with might I might be missing for the small jump seat that mounts behind the bed mounted spare tire. I have the pieces in the attached pictures. They have been sandblasted and painted. Are there other parts besides the wood slats that are needed to have all the hardware to mount...

We had one of the easier recovery missions here in Colorado club members have in awhile. Towed a deuce to its new home in Elizabeth, CO from the Black Forest area. About a 45 mile jaunt. Real nice winch truck with hopefully just a minor transfer case problem (reason for the tow). Truck was...
