    M101 Handbrake Mods.

    Looks good Carter. In fact, it looks close enough to my M101A1 that I suspect many folks would not notice the differences between them unless they looked closely... Photo of my factory brake handles for comparison: http://www.garbee.net/~cabell/december/M101A1/DSCN0766.JPG

    What does the "yellow nose" mean?

    The yellow nose is a distinctive feature of all trucks in 8th Trans Grp. The distinctive yellow stripes were employed to help the commanders orbiting above in helicopters identify which units convoy he was looking down at, so they marked them all... As an example, notice the shots of the M37...

    More pics

    I did the same thing (and renewed the top of the fenders with stuff 3x as wide) with the 3M product sold at Agri-Supply... Price was surprisingly low considering... :) It's been holding up well over the past year.

    Me Vs Windsor Township - Victory

    Frank, I've gotta say that you are comming across just right in those interviews. :) Calm, articulate, and patriotic (and with a great shirt as well). It looks like the bulk of the folks in your area are behind you, as are we. Wish I was closer, I'd drive up in the five ton for the...

    Mid-Atlantic Power Wagon Rally, WV, Oct 24-26

    I know that this is the same weekend as Clinto's rally, but I thought that I would cross post it here for those folks who live near the rally site in WV who may not be able to make it to GA, but who'd still like to get out and ride... Mid-Atlantic Power Wagon Rally Wild & Wonderful West...

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: head lights I have been running Hella H4 E-code assemblies on all my stuff for years... even have a page on my website that discusses part numbers and such for the housings, bulbs, and wiring adapters... Best prices that I have found for 6/12/24 volt H4 burners is at...

    m105a2 payload

    Isn't that Clinto's driveway?? I've never seen it in the daylight, but I did back a five ton down it at night and in the rain once... That's a really good looking rig in that photo... The trailers do seem to be conservatively rated, especially when you consider the use that they are...

    Light Bulb Replacement

    Instead of lopping off the military plug, consider just unpluging the cable from its junction to the main trailer harness at the tongue and putting it up for sale here (or donating it to a MV owner near you who may need it for a trailer). That way, you will have numbered wire ends at the main...

    M151 heater kits

    Here is a shot of a M151 heater mounted in my M37 (the photo that was used, once again, to sell one on Ebay) that I have on my website. I also have a couple of pages on the site with instructions for utilizing the full kit from a M151 in a M37 so that one has defrost as well as heat (since the...

    M151 heater kits

    Last time I purchased a kit, (it's been a few years) it was something like $100, and the heaters were selling by themselves for around $45... A fellow just sold a bare heater on Ebay (using a photo from my website showing the unit installed in my M37--didn't ask before he did, but then, he...

    GL Surprise Bonus !!

    Re: RE: Gl suprise bonus At two of the sites that I frequent where they unload with the forklift, they don't have a ramp for unloading and frequently the trucks don't run... Using the fork is much more efficient... That said, I've watched the guys operating the forklifts and, in general...

    M37s and their trannys

    Both the NP88950 (M37) and the NP420 (M37B1) are only synchronized in 3rd and 4th. You have to double clutch when going into the lower gears, but most folks usually start off in second when driving around so so shifting is pretty easy... They only have one clutch... Partially synchro'd and...

    Air in fuel?

    I've thought about this a lot, but didn't like the routing that a hose (or pipe) would take... If tucked up high enough to not get snagged when going over obstacles (I know, it's up there, but I'd hate to high center my M817 and honk my fuel line) you'd not be able to utilize all the fuel in...

    wiper question

    If you want a really nice heavy duty wiper that can handle snow, you might want to consider some units similar to what I mounted on my Cummins powered M37... Granted the M37 is a 3/4 ton, but it uses the same inner window frame... Page on my website details instalation and has parts numbers...
