AC 60G glow plugs are a self limiting design, meaning it takes longer to blow out. BUT.... They take LONGER to glow up. Meaning they do not work well with some factory controllers that have a pre set time for the glow duration. Kennedy Diesel makes a fast glow plug that resits burn out and I...

I am trying to up load to You Tube, but my antique brain is having trouble figuring this thing out.

Same here, bought a trailer that turned out good as it was only five months old, but was charged twice by Gov Liquidation not some outside party for the trailer. I had to fax posted proof to them of the charges. That also happened when I bought from GOV DEALS. Got charged twice as well for a...

At least you did not come back and have to explain the turbo prop propeller in the back of your truck was going to be followed by the rest of the aircraft ! I spent two weeks at the motel 6.

I think there was a place called Colemans Surplus in Pa, had good ones for $75 each, but that was over three years ago. I have worked in the electronics field for over 24 years, I usually get those problems right. Its this new garbage that makes me want to puke.

XM211 Excavator Its a HY Hoe back hoe company excavator. From what I found out they basically went out of business sometime in the early 1970s They had these units mounted on trucks and some were tracked. I had found photos of one mounted on an old International, but the photo was from 1962...

I forgot to tell everyone, there is another M211 locally in a scrap yard. it's missing a lot , but a lot is there. A place called EZ pull in Scranton. I think I can buy it out of there by what they would get paid for the weight.

Diode pack in the alternator is shorted, you lost one of four. It happened on my military Blazer. It makes the one alternator work like a bastard to keep up the charging demand. Thus it overheats. Alternators create AC current, the diodes turn that into DC for the demands of the vehicle. I...

You forgot the worst nut to remove, the one behind the steering wheel who owns the truck. Its like an addiction once your attached you never can let loose.

If you get stuck for parts I have one that the flexable wire boards were damaged in but the display and its driver chips were fine.

You have to admit, the front looks 100 times better than the M35, its hood system is also a pleasure to use. It holds the hood in two positions as I found out today. Thanks,

Yes I am sick, I bought another truck, This one is a good one though. I had a lot of trouble getting it here, add in the fact the company that picked it up for me used a 64 foot lowboy. Can you say overkill ? It came from by Atlantic city, it cost more than I paid to move it, but I am going to...

Hello there, I bought a few years back a XM211 military truck with a very strange attachment. A military excavator. The truck is a 1954 XM211 as identified by its data plate. The excavator also has a military data plate XEX450 High Ho Backhoe. I thought at first it was a old civilian...
