I was looking at some M818's and noticed one had the air filter on the passenger side of the truck and the engine looked different. Did any of them come with another engine besides the Cummins NHC-250?
My left rear axle continues to leak and wash all the bearing grease out. This has been an issue since I got the truck. It was a fresh military rebuild when I picked it up and the axle was dry. It started to leak after about 100 miles, and since my mechanic has replaced the axle seal 2 times and...
I have a m101a1 that I love, but I noticed a few suspension parts that are badly rusted. Time for a replacement, and I'm thinking of a newer m101a2. My question is, are the m101a2's a newer trailer than say my '67 m101a1 or are the m101a2's just modified m101a1 frames with surge brakes?
I am looking into getting a 5 ton tractor, probably a M818. How are you guys insuring these trucks? State Farm insures my deuce, but i'm not sure if they'll insure a 5 ton tractor.
I picked up another M101a1 out of Pineville. It looked pretty good in th GL pictures, but up close is a different store. Some rust and alot of peeling paint. I do like the new one piece rims, I'd be able to get a flat fixed anywhere. I might put the newer rims and tires on my better a1. The...
Wow. I thought of getting this trailer, but never in my wildest dreams did I think it would go this high.2330 - Trailers at Government Liquidation Sold for 1350.
They had a lot of body bags last year and I thought that was a little strange, but now they have a Lot of about 53000 rubbers. What would you do with that? Or should I even ask...
I am looking for a trailer to pull behind my 3/4 ton Suburban. I like the way the rims look on the A1's. But will i have difficulty if I need to get a flat fixed or want to buy a spare tire/rim. Would I be better off getting a A2 instead?
Anybody have a parts list, instructions and diagram of what is involved in adding the air line to the air shift transfer case. I have a deuce that originally had a sprag and now has a air shift transfer case but no air lines, switch,etc. I have heard there is a kit to get it hooked up and was...
I was at Red River Army Depot last week and saw these pull in. Do we use them in the US? Also saw alot of Hummer 's that were being shipped in from Belgium. I don't think we will be seeing them on GL. What is the military ID number of the Unimogs?
Swapping a sprag for air shift?
Finally had the chance to see if my sprag transfer would engage. And it did not. Figured out I have an air shift transfer case and no air shift switch. I think when they rebuild the truck they just threw in a transfer case that they had in inventory.
Has...
I need to recover a newer M200A1 chassis trailer. From what I have read, it has air / hydroliic brakes. No problem. It also has a air tank and i believe an extra (emergency) air hose. Can this chassis trailer be pulled home with a pick up truck? If the air tank is not pressurized, are the wheels...
Hi guys, I am having trouble getting my parking brake to work properly. I had a hard time replacing the spring (#17) that connects to the top of the outer parking brakeshoe. Then it broke again. Now I noticed that the brakeshoe braket (#19) is slightly twisted/bent. If it were straight the...
Can someone tell me what is in the orange shipping envelope I see on the trucks at GL? Mine have one, but we had such tunnel vision when we picked the truck up, we thru it away.aua
How are you guys lubing the cables like the heater, engine stop conrtol, hand idle control,etc. Mine are hard to operate and I am affraid i am going to break it. Can I just dip a light oil along the cable sleeve and it will soak thru?
