About the best deal that I found on shipping was from Mark at Rapco who will palletize and send it by truck if you purchase three cases (or more)... I've set up some group buys in the past with some of the guys near me in order to get the quantity needed and total shipping was less than what...

Just a minor point of correction: The form that you fill out for GL in order to obtain an SF97 DOES NOT have to be signed by a Law Enforcement Official, you can sign it yourself... To quote from the form on GL's website: "To comply with GL’s Terms and Conditions, I am attaching information...

Guys, my EUC for a MKT85 (kitchen trailer) came though on Friday so I've not got fourteen business days to get it off the yard at PA, Cumberland, Mechanicsburg... Anyone going by that could snag it and hold it for me until I can get up from NC? Or, if that doesn't work, anybody have anything...

The Spicer manual suggests several approaches from pushing/pulling on the joint to removing the u-joint and popping the cap off... I tend to grease them, and if I notice that one didn't pass grease, then I do some driving and hit it again very soon... With the exception of the five ton, my...

I'm going by memory (I'm at the office, my trailers are at home...), but the height of th sides are different, so at the very least you'd have to trim the M105 side posts. In addition, the M101 has rear gates so the uprights on the back corners have hinges instead of "hooks", also you need the...

In another post (reply to one from Cranetruck) that I made a while back (I'll dig around and will see if I can find it), I posted the relationship between the Milspec and the API ratings for OE and GO... To be perfectly safe, you want your GL5 to also have the MT1 rating in order to ensure that...

You're right about the torque advantage of standing on a Budd bar, but sometimes, I just doesn't compare to having a 1" gun... :) I shredded a tire on the M817 last week and spent an hour jumping up and down on the Budd bar trying to get the last two lugnuts off (other eight came loose with...

RE: Re: RE: U joint lubrication secrets??? You might also find the "10 series" manual helpful (it has better photographs...) as it is a little better organized... and has a lube chart including intervals and grease recomendations. See: http://www2.dana.com/pdf/DSSM-3264.PDF

RE: Re: RE: U joint lubrication secrets??? Smitty is correct... To quote from the Spicer manual: "Spicer replacement universal joint kits contain only enough grease to provide needle bearing protection during storage. It is therefore necessary to completely lubricate each journal cross and...

If you do go with an electric pump (I'd check first to see if that new filter was clogged...) make sure that you get a low pressure model or instal a regulator. It's real easy to get too much pump and then flood out the carb... I think that you are looking for 4-5psi, but I will verify.

If you find the metal hardware, I have the dimensions for all the wood pieces on my website... www.garbee.net/~cabell -- look on the index for "bedwood"

Great to see the duece hauling a load of scouts. :) Did you get the duece from Outdoorbum?? My introduction to Power Wagons was getting to drive one at Scout Camp back in the day (Camp Powhatan, Blue Ridge Mountains Council, VA). I've been bitten by the Power Wagon/MV bug ever since...

The olive-drab website also has a listing of all the M series numbers and a diagram and number/letter list for the circuits in the headlight switch and the solid state flasher unit...

Convoy light switch goes on a little L bracket affixed to the bottom edge of the dash so that it hangs down under the edge. Wire from the switch goes to a t-plug that is inserted into the harness feed to the headlight dimmer switch at the dimmer so that the convoy light only operates when the...

Re: water tank I was paid six cents a pound last week for a load of old scrap M37 frames, drums, engines, etc. that I hauled over to the local yard in Raleigh, NC, in the back of my M817...

Just find yourself a Maradyne dealer (ie, any decent heavy equipement or truck shop...) and order from the catalog... The make cab fans in 12-24-36 volt versions... Check out the Maradyne on-line product listing (with tech info) located at...

OK, so I was a Bragg this morning and walked over and looked at a M796A1 that I spotted by a maintenance building... Tire is a 12x16.5 on a six lug rim that looks to have a 9" bolt center (assuming that I remembered correctly how to measure a six lug pattern... ).

Re: Where to purchase engine fan drive pulley/bracket setup? Give John Winslow a call... He's in Halifax, NC, and has quite a few five tons on his yard and a good supply of parts (new and takeoff...). 252-826-3583 or 252-883-2509 (one is his cell, one the landline, never can remember...

CS: sent you a PM with some ideas on Dealers and Individuals whom might have one... Meanwhile: post on the www.dodgepowerwagon.com site and at the www.powerwagonadvertiser.com site as well as in the Power Wagon forum on the www.g503.com site....

Does anyone know exactly what size tire and wheel is fitted to a M796A1? I'm wondering if it is the same as what is fitted to my M1061... I need a spare for my tag trailer and am trying to expand my search... :) Thanks.
