Well,I have FINALLY gotten around to starting this thread that I had promised I would start on 2 years ago!!
What I intend to cover is the necessary parts to change/replace when doing a powerplant change on a M39 series 5 ton truck,as well as the proper procedure of same.
The object of my...
Hmmm,well Pic 2 is one of the coolant distrubtion hoses from the intake manifold to the heads,and in pic 1 it looks as if it was getting coolant in the engine oil and vice versa.
Mine had a broken crank,but that one shattered the crank journal bosses in the block,there were some major forces at...
Many moons ago(around 1999),when I first bought Oddball my M35A2C,it had a noise that could be described as a "loose flywheel" it got worse with the clutch out and lessened when the clutch was pushed in.
Upon inspection I had a broken crankshaft,just past the #4 main journal,ran fine and leaked...
True,but I look for every truck with this setup and usually bid on em.

Then again,that is just...

The second welder just had some light rust on the rings from sitting.
Yeah,they have a 120V circuit as well,2 standard house plugs per each.
I had a Hobart 500 amp diesel welder mounted on a M353 trailer before,"welding shop,trailer mounted".
But I sold it several years back.
Well,I figured I would start a thread posting up the progress on the 2 Libby welding corp 300 amp welders I won from GSA around 1/24/13.
Both units were listed as unknown completion or running status,and I did not preview them,and I ended up winning both for a very reasonable sum.
They are 300...
