    818 recovery

    This problem is the reason I think I got my 813 from GSA. No one could start it so they thought something was wrong with it. I found the problem in short order and it fired right up.

    M151 rollover analysis? Looking for info

    I have been told not to install a ROPS structure on a 151 or 151A1 as it makes them top heavy and they roll quicker. I have driven my Mutt for 5 years and never even come close to a bad situation. Be carefull in sand and don't make hard high speed turns and there is no problem.

    M151's, They are still out there!

    I found 12 at Fort Stewart a couple years ago. I inquired about their fate and was told they would be run over by a bulldozer and sold as scrap. All the parts i needed to make mine run were right there and all I could do was look.

    Can a 5 ton cargo convert to tractor?

    My cargo trucks have glad hand connections at the rear of the bed. Am I wrong in thinking all you have to do is cut the air lines behind the cab and install fittings and coiled lines with the glad hands on them??? They were set up to pull the 105 trailers with air over hydralic brakes. You...
