Just think add 4 wheel steering with another front end in the rear. Crab steering anyone??

1983 M925 Army use 47,700 miles in 30 years = 1600 miles per year. My time Indianapolis pick up to West Virginia about 400 miles on 1 gallon Rotella, one local Black Walnut Festival Grand Parade , one car show 500 miles in the seat .......................... priceless what fun for $4.00 a...

After reading the manual me and my mechanic/driver friend are both scratching our heads: My M925 transfer case will not shift at all if air system pressure is above 60-65 psi . At 120 normal working pressure I cannot shift transfer, use brakes to drain air to 60 psi, transfer will shift. All...

Can you post a picture so everyone is on the same page as to what iron you have questions about? I have seen high top cab trucks on GL. Looks like cab with reinforcement or roll cage in cab. I think they look like a rolling phone booth like the 1950's Willys Pickup. I remember looking in an...

Try soaking with PB Blaster penetrating oil and peck it with hammer to vibrate plug. If enough is left to get a socket on try soaking and a impact gun. If you have to drill, take grinder to smooth off the surface and center punch the exact hole center. Use the easy out near the hole size and...

One rule of 4x4 fun------ Do not drive farther out that you can't walk back! I had a 77 Jeep J10 with 3/4 ton front hubs and rear axle so like your M715 on our farm. It went backwards down a road embankment at about 45 Degree slope on another driver. Two hours later with winch lines ends pulled...

The trailer tongue is missing the whole ring. I found that the plate bolts are on 4.5 inch centers. I have a Chevy 1 ton duelly and manual transmission that could tow ok if carefully done. Mark

I may have a long distance recovery project on a M989A1 trailer that is missing the bolt on pintle hitch ring . What size pintle fits this ?? I am going by bad pictures and have no idea what size hitch plate to find. I hate to be out of town with the wrong size hitch stuff . Any Info would be...

Thanks for the input on the trailers. I dabble with antique equipment and old engines including a portable Meadows Mill grist mill. A display would weigh about 2 ton and it would be a better display for the public if it was at a lower eye level. One idea is for a chilli/bbq pit on wheels with...

If you have machine shop type cutting oil, advertise for sale in 5 gallon lots, bet can get more out of it than price of saved fuel. Just a suggestion. Mark

I have been seeing CMI LOAD KING XM1076 trailer dollies for sale but cannot find any info on these trailers. Do they resemble running gear of M989A1 drop center trailer? I cannot tell if air bagged or springs for suspension. Has anyone owned or modified one for hauling??? I need something...

Saw some civilian fire trucks turned into BBQ pits and Pizza ovens. That size you could be in world records books for a cooker. How about a Oktoberfest beer hauler, how many keg capacity? Nice truck!! Mark

More pictures of lifting hoop would be interesting to see. Nice idea for those without loaders. I have seen locally a loader made like the bomb crane with a trolley beam longer than the bed being used. Mark

Looks like trucks set up for oil field work with flat trailers with roller on trailer tail. Oil tanks were welded to sleds and winch line pulled tank up to trailer bed and then loaded with winch cable. Sleds with sides called tubs handled loose cargo like pipe. Most trucks had cab protectors and...

Once a war is over We are quick to trash the very items that saved our bacon and brought many servicemen home safe. Just Google pictures of the WWII Air Force graveyards of fighters and bombers, harbors full of subs and ships, and lots full of Jeeps and trucks galore. I have owned and help...

I have seen permanent self powered spin filter units for less $. If you could figure out gph or gmm recommendations from a brand then you could shop backwards for a unit. I can't find my bookmarks but I searched for waste oil/ vegetable fuel filters and found good looking units for $250.00...

Pulling with winch with truck not secured to some anchor will result in the easy to move item sliding first. I tied to 30" Red Oak log 20 ' with a single axle truck chained to a MF 165 tractor and dragged both truck and tractor to Log. We sunk grader blade of tractor as a dead man and then...

Nice truck video. My Dad was riding in a pick up truck looking at some property which had hood high grass and weeds. Dad saw a Willow tree in the distance and started to say "you know a willow tree usually grows near a ............ then the truck went nose first into the ......creek" Took a...

Thanks for the idea. I will keep it in mind. Mark
