Well, i'm stumped. I have read and been told that the braking system on the M8 and M20 vehicles are a biatch, but how bad could it really be :roll:, right? Well, I gotta say that they are the most difficult ones I have ever done and I have hit a wall with an issue that they have. Rebuilt the...

Had a chance to mess around with one this last weekend. Got it running and drove it around the loop a few times!

Hey all, The Museum has a couple of M113's and a 548. All run, but can only move back and forth in a straight line due to the track adjusters not holding pressure. I have the TM's and it looks like a no brainer to rebuild them. All I need are the kits :roll:. The repair kit p/n is 5703829. Does...

We have a sweet 2008 Oshkosh MRAP-A in the shop right now for a fuel leak. A real peice of work to work on, but still cool to drive! It no longer belongs to the USMC, it has been handed over to...an investigation unit...a federal one...don't wanna say the letters so we don't get in doo doo here...

Does anyone have a copy...PDF, Paper or other...of TM9-1005-245-13&P...for the M66 ring mount? I have one with a broken part and wanna see how to disassemble it CORRECTLY so I can make the broken part. TIA, Will I looked in the TM section and searched too!

Well, since I didn't get all the corners for the metal bows on the trailer AND someone liberated my snatch block, I called the Bros, and Sunday the 25th of January is good for them to cruz out there. I know Gary and Devin were asking about going, any one else interested?

Tried search...about as fruitful as the old site or any other search feature...no offence Mike, I just can't finger them out! We are gonna do brakes on an M8 at the museum. The wheel cylinders have an old style piston in them that has the cup on the outdide of and aluminum piston...that's how I...

...to see If I can post pics!

Searched, but no hits. How does one know if the trailer...an M105A2...is braking proportional to the tow vehicle. M35A2 WW? I have never locked the wheels, but, after pulling it around and feeling the drums, they both feel the same temp, so I know they work, but, how do I know they will help in...

My junk has never been thru an OVH, so I have been worried about the F/P oil supply lines.....I still have a leak at the tappit cover, but the 40 year old lines worried me, so I made these. I feel better now!

Anybody know the BTU of the deuce heater?

When I got my truck, it was extremely faded. It was/is a 4 color MERDC pattern. The lines between the colors were distinguishable, but the colors weren't. Did a bit of searching thru the web, and came up with Earth Yellow, Brown, Sand and Black. I re painted it these colors. After looking at it...

I have run across a few heater kits for the MUTT. Thought they were for the deuce, but, they aren't. Anyone interested? 1979, New, old stock. I opened this box only to find not an M35A2 heater kit, but a Mutt kit :cry: All hoses are soft, paint is clean, all the brackets, ducts and defroster...

For all you BIG truck guys with the HEMTTs and XM757s and the such, I came across a photo in the Patton Museum while on vacation. There were no explanations or captions with the pic, only that this was one of the vehicles used out in the training grounds around Chiraco Summit for Pattons desert...

Just a heads up. For those of us that wish to previw, P/U, load out or whatever at MCLB/GL Barstow. I had a very pleasant experience with Dave today. He has no issues with us guys/gals that are collectors, restorers or enthusiasts. He just has to deal with one off people the vandalize and steal...

Went to Barstow today to recover a deuce for Mark, BBoomerBootCamp. Twas a spur of the moment thing, all the right things happened and I had the day off, so, I buzzed out to JDToumaninans house with some fluids and such, we loaded it in his deuce with his tools and set out for MCLB, Barstow. He...

I had to scan the mag 'cause there was no link on line. Sorry they came out crappy, but they are still cool.

Over the past few weeks, we have been tinkering with an M548A1 at the Museum. Had to "borrow" a couple of little parts off of another one out in the back 40, had battery and fuel issues, all minor things. Finally got it to lite off. Had an issue with air escaping out the bottom of the brake...

The American Military History Museum is doing a resto on an M42 Duster AA vehicle and is need of one, flash supressor for one of the barrels. If anone knows where there might be one, or has one, please PM me or, contact Craig at, http://www.tankland.com/ I will post pics of the resto as it...

I think John Tennis asked about these...I forget. They...Cummins...are proud of these parts! 100.00 for just the head! I can most likely get them for 80 ish for all the parts except the fitting, they are straight o-ring style and are expensive too, unless I have what is needed in my box or in...
