Re: RE: trailer Thanks for mentioning this Mike... You're right, I'm still looking for a spare (kinda hate pulling the trailer any kind of distance without one...). Is the tire/wheel the same as the one fitted to a M796A1 by any chance??

I've used one of those vinyl ones before on a truck... Haven't had any problems and it's been about a year... I think that it was a Newstar Part?? (can't verify anymore, no longer have the packaging). The truck that I put it on gets daily use in the Spring-Fall, sits all Winter (farm water...

Not the first reason for purchasing any of my trucks, but always a great time at Memorial Day, Veteran's Day, POW/MIA Day, etc. to hual the vets in the parades, talk to them about the trucks, etc. I've had guys come up to me at the gas station, hardware store, etc., and tell me stories that...

RE: NAPA Part numbers NAPA accross town with a surly staff... CarQuest main warehouse accross town with a friendly staff. CarQuest store w/machine shop five blocks from office, friendly staff, get parts from warehouse same day no problem and deliver to office no extra charge (on the way for...

If you can't find it, let me know... I've got a buddy who installs it in the trucks at his shop (Spicer actually recommends 50 wt for these boxes nowdays) and I can get it in five gallon buckets or drums. I'll be riding up to NoVA in a month so getting it from me to you wouldn't be that...

Re: RE: M1061A1 5 ton trailer questions Yup :) The one that I have is a M1061. It is configured a little differently then some others in that it only has the single drawbar instead of having the second one for use when towing with a tracked vehicle. One of these days, I’ll get around to...

Well, if the guys at the gate are clueless about GL or DRMO, just tell them that you are going to: Bldg 1152, 328 Italy St., and they should be ok... Enjoy the trip, hope it all goes smoothly.

I'm not particular.... As long as they have free drink refills... :) I guess it really depends on if we stop at your place for a look see and eat in Morganton, or if we meet up in Hickory and eat there...

Talked to a couple guys from down east (Wanchese, NC) who are planning on riding up Friday and spending the night... Perhaps we can get together for some chow and take a gander at the ten tons...? I'm still not sure what I am going to be driving/hauling up. I think that it will depend a lot...

Well, I won one of the kitchen trailers I was bidding on, got spanked on the other one... Didn't stay in the hunt long for a M49 near me as it went way over my budget very fast... Saw a lot of trailers, dueces, and five tons go for a lot less money than thay have recently and really wanted to...

FWIW There is a Performance Data table in TM 9-2320-260-10 on page 1-26 with the following maximum speeds listed: 60MPH, M812A1, M821. 52MPH, M813, M813A1, M814, M815, M816, M817, M818, M819, M820, M820A1, M820A2 The only vehicles with a reduced maximum speed listing for "w/towed load" are the...

TM 9-2320-260-10, Section 2-4. CHASSIS CONTROLS AND INDICATORS has an illustration on page 2-2 showing the instrument panel with tachometer and speedometer side by side with a note “on all vehicles except M818". It also has an illustration on page 2-3 showing the tachograph on the instrument...

We had a round of drivability issues with our fleet at NCDOT (and I hear that the Guard units in the State as well as the University System did as well) when we switched over to B20 four years ago (mandated by the Legislature...). Mostly issues with clogged filters as things got scrubbed out...

Just as an FYI, the M817 dumptruck does not use a tachograph. Just a plain ol' tachometer and a speedometer mounted side by side... I helps that I have a tipper in the backyard to look at... :)

Thanks for posting the pics, part number, etc. I see that I need to drop by my local truck parts house on the way home today... I also rarely "need" a block heater since I am in North Carolina, but it gets sorta "cool" every now and then in the winter and I have been known to drive up to...

Great looking job there Ernie! Thanks for sharing. As somebody else who has done the regear and locker bit... I'll toss in that Charles Talbert at M-Series Rebuild does a great job at setting them up as well as Bob Stahl (whom you mentioned). Charles is a couple hours southwest of me in...

Putting the bearings on the top as well as the bottom is a good thing to do. Eeasier steering and less wear on the components in general. Well worth the effort, especially if you are already tearing down the front axle... Detailed info on knuckle rebuilding including the conversion to a top...

To quote one of the technical papers I have here at work (from one of the lubrication suppliers...): "The Allison C-3 Specification was developed in 1977 to replace the C-2 Specification because available fluids did not provide adequate friction retention with graphitic clutch plates commonly...

Re: RE: VA 5 ton You have to look at closed auctions now... It no longer is live.

The photo that I wish I had taken... My M37 parked between the GOER and one of the M123's where I left it while riding up to get the M817... I don't think that any of Brandon's neighbors ever knew that I had parked my little truck in his yard...
