I have an MKT-85 and converted one of my M1 gasoline burners over to propane and have gotten good results, equivalent to a good condition M1 burning gasoline. It will heat 5 gal. of water just as fast and the spread of the burner distributes the heat widely enough. I had to do 2 things to make...

It's a shot in the dark but just maybe ... Did you check the Emergency Shutoff Valve? It is activated on the dashboard by pulling the Emergency Shutoff knob on the lower right side, BUT it has to be reset under the hood. That was something another SS member posted as something to put on the...

The M101 trailers are nice! I have an A1 (5 lug wheels, no surge brakes) that I put 5 on 5 1/2 spindles on to match my Bronco. I also own an A2 that I’m going to pick up in TX in November. They are rated for 3/4 ton off road which equates to 1.5 ton on the highway. Pulling 3000 lb. takes a...

Some great videos for M9XX series owners: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gW7mdL9Bhs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ99iSmVZ5E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3HoBqAToqM and one you should enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MfTH6YN2Eo The last one reminds me of driving through a...

I can't just put the 11.00 on the same rims as the 9.00s? Any idea where I can get wider rims for the deuce? (maybe I should take this up on the deuce forum). I may be selling the chassis from the M109 and keeping the box because the engine is non-turbo and runs like dog$#!~ at this altitude...

Thanks for the advice, I will do it doghead's way.

Can anyone tell me this, what is the biggest tire I can put on my current split rims? If I pull these tires off, can I put them on my deuce in place of the 9.00 NDTs with split rims that are on it? Anybody got a bargin for me between here and Ft. Worth, TX (including most of Kansas, New Mexico...

Here's my problem, maybe there's a simpler solution: That is a Michelin XL 11.00R20 and I RARELY see them go across GL. I would like to go to super-singles, anyway and the first one I posted look inviting. The truck is in Dublin, TX (80 mi. south of Ft. Worth) right now and I'm in Aurora, CO...

Can anyone tell me if these wheels fit an M923A1? The bolt diameter sort-of looks right and the center hole looks kinda big.

You have a drop-side bed, I believe, so just drop 1 or both sides and you have a flatbed. Arlyn M109A3 M923

sean011, I just tuned into your thread. On the 19th I left Ft. Benning, GA in my newly acquired M923 (http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?98445-M923-Recovery-GA-to-CO&highlight=). I got as far as my daughter's in Dublin, TX 90 mi SW of Ft. Worth before we decided to postpone the final...

I'd be supicious of the floor switch. I'll bet it is a straight cross with civilian switches.

Can I put the 395's on the original wheels on my deuce?

Helps a lot!! I have been looking at other singles and do see that the wheels are mounted dish-out. PS I just looked at Dell City, TX on the map; there aren't many roads in your part of the world, are there?!!

I am considering converting the tires on my M923 from 11.00 R20s to 395/85 R20s with wheels to match. I have done a brief search about how to do it and didn't find an answer (If my search wasn't good enough, go ahead and yell at me). I assume that I need to make the back singles. My question...

I'm confused. A few weeks ago an SS member sent me the link for TM 55-2320-272-14-1 which I copied into my own folder of TMs. BUT I wanted to send a reference to it to a friend, rather than trying to email the HUGE file. I cannot find that TM in the list of TM. What am I missing? Arlyn

Thoughts on Owning/Operating a 5 Ton (relative to a deuce) A 5 ton is a DBT!! (D$&*ed Big Truck). A deuce tire was tough to handle by 1 guy; a 5 ton tire takes at least 2. Power Steering is nice!!! An automatic transmission can spoil you. A 5 ton has the turning radius of a B52. You can tell...

Well, all's well that ends well. Thanks Mdmorgan and CycleJay for sending my your phone numbers; I had them ready. Machinist75 good looking trailer except GL's forklift broke the wasp excluder on the relay valve and bent the bejeebers out of one brake actuator rod. Two of my 3 big trailers...

We got your back on the road at12:30PM. This phone is hard to type on; more later.
