You can run diesel oil in a gas engine as long as it has the appropriate SAE rating for gas engines... Current gas engine rating is "SJ" which can be used in any gas engine that specified a prior rating such as SB, SG, SH, etc. Note: Rating that begins with "S" is for "spark ignition" ie...

OE-30: ( Lubricating) Oil, Engine, 30wt Also known in the civilian world as SAE-30 You can find straight 30wt at most agg supply places, a few auto parts stores near me still cary it. Just about everything that has a straight weight oil specified does well on multiweights so you can run...

Just to jump in and do a little bit of self promotion... I have a page on my website with tire info for M37's that is applicable for the M101 and M101A1 trailers and that is useful for M715 folks as well since they run the same size rubber (but have a different bolt pattern on the wheel)...

The nice thing about Ryan and Graham is that they can run up I85 together into NC where they can join up with us for the run to Doswell (were we meet up with the Florida crowd... hint hint hint Kenny...). I think that cop pulled Graham for a combination of not having the tag and for having...

The more the merrier... I tend to position vehicles in the serial from smaller to larger with the exception that I seem to be in the front every year :) It's a great feeling when you look in the rearview and see that chain of MV's behind you... Biodiesel and/or WVO is great, but I have...

Sounds like a great idea!! I trust that you will be joining us for the photo shoot (and will have that same "what do I drive" question that I will be having... I can think of a couple of good locations on US301 North of Richmond (ok, in the AP Hill area) that would do well for this... My...

Hello, Looks like a good truck. We'll have to get together next time I ride up to your area (I have friends living between Winchester and the WVa line and familly halfway between Winchester and Charlottesville). I get most of my canvas from either WeeBee Webbing or from New Life Resource...

I'll have to look at the dataplate when I get home, but it is surprisingly high... Although it only has single tires on the axles, they are wide and have a high weight rating. I know that the trailer has had a small dozer on it (John Deere), but I don't want to say until I can eyeball it...

What you need is the small tag trailer that I have in my back yard... It's designed to be towed behing a military five ton truck to haul things like a lundry unit, water purification setup, etc... I've got photos on my website showing it on the day that it was delivered, but have yet to put...

I just hauled my M35A2C's radiator over to a buddy's shop for some TLC... Managed to put a hole in the joint where the top inlet mates to the tank and had the spot welds that hold the brackets to the radiator assembly on the passenger side snap as well (I think that the bracket welds went...

OK, so I didn't drive a MV on this trip (took a buddy's F250 extended cab 4x4 with the Powerstroke with a Banks kit installed and another buddy's 26' tilt deck car trailer) out to Tulsa to snag my '62 Dodge XM708, but it was a MV road trip... :) Had a super smooth trip out (especially once we...

M1075, What a bummer... Especially since we only ended up hauling out mounted Michelin 1100r16 XL's... Had lots of space for more stuff... Maybee next time... :)

RAPCO is also a great source for Gillespie paints. Thanks for posting the link to my paint page... :)

Guys, Just wanted to update everyone that I am on the road... I'm sitting in a motel in Lonoke, Arkansas with a very slow internet connection. Will be picking up the XM708 in Tulsa tommorow and then will be headed back east on I40... If you see a F250 with a the Dodge on the trailer behind...

I will be making a run from Raleigh, NC to Tulsa, OK on June 14, 2006 in order to pick up a XM708 truck that I just purchased. I'll be riding with a friend in his F250 and a long, tiltdeck, 6 ton trailer... If anyone is relatively near I40 and would like something hauled west (or even something...

The dimensions for the standoff are on my website at: http://www.garbee.net/~cabell/mwo.htm I've seen the antenna's mounted to the front of the bed on dropsides as well as on the right front fender just behind the lights... a nasty location from an engine service standpoint...

Guys, I need the front landing leg for a M104 1.5 ton trailer. Leg is NOT the same as that used on the similar M105 trailer as it sits beneath the frame rail when in the raised position in order for the front tailgate to lay flat... The M105 legs when in the upright position ride above the...

Guys, I need to make a little room in the yard... I've got a 1960 M101 3/4 ton trailer with a really nice bed (one ding on the front panel), good tires, fresh paint (gloss olive), no markings, side racks, bows, and a good canvas cover in Raleigh, NC. No title, but can provide bill of sale...

I got one from Saturn Surplus about two years ago for a M35A2 that I was converting to a tanker... Somebody had chopped the rear harness while the truck was at the GSA yard. Price was right, harness was a little long, so it might actually have been off a M36... One thing that I found out...

Oh yes, forgot to mention John Bizal at Midwest Military. He'll most likely have the parts you need as well, but will likely be a tad more expensive than the rest... (really good guy to deal with and his parts, especially reproduction ones, are dead on...).
