    M809-series 33si Alternator Install

    I picked up a Delco-Remy 33si alternator, Cummins p/n 3400698, to replace the OEM alternator on my M818. My existing alternator was not failing, but I wanted to be ahead of that game. I have also followed some installs on both M809 and M939-series trucks with the NHC250. I liked the results...

    M809-series (M818) Air Brake Retrofit

    All right my loyal followers, I am closing in a rear outboard brake drum solution with the help of Brother Glenngineer. It's not all locked down yet. Be forewarned that the solution will require machining of the drive hub in order for the chosen drum to properly pilot to the hub. Next step is...

    M809-series (M818) Air Brake Retrofit

    Yes, on the rears. I bought all my parts in a kit. If you piece the parts together you are going to find the spiders are the hardest parts to obtain. I have not nor have I found anyone who has found a viable alternative in an s-cam to retrofit the Rockwell top-loader steer axle.

    Stud Pilot Wheels

    I changed over my 1100R20 Goodyear G177's on split rims to 12R22.5 Firestone T-831's on 22.5" x 8.25" tubeless stud-piloted 5-hand hole steel rims. I found the 5-hand hole rims to look the best, however not the easiest to find...

    Steel Soldiers migration 12/9/19

    Thanks! I did notice it is a lot faster on the uploads now. The "drag and drop" feature is really cool. It was always easier to re-use photos already in the archive and it doesn't clog up the server with duplicates. So, are we able to access our photo archives now or after the add-on?

    How does one access their archival photos in case you want to repost an older photo into a new thread or thread response? This photo is one I have uploaded to the old site previously, but now I re-attached it with the button below from my home files.

    Front Mounted Winch Verification

    Photos for comparison. If your PTO looks like the pics, its for the Spicer.

    Front Mounted Winch Verification

    That certainly looks like the right PTO for 6452/6453 Spicer. That model number throws me off though. It doesn't come back on parttarget.com

    M818 PTO seals and boots replacment

    roflrofl This is the gasket I used. It set the right gear lash for me. Here are the specs... https://www.parttarget.com/5330-01-396-0000_5330013960000_5330002343317.html/-B3E2D75C-4B27-4DFE-907D-540BAAF101E7 I did get a .010 and a .020 for safe measure, but did not need them.

    Plastic Battery Box Modification

    Those M915 battery box kits are not as easy to come by anymore. When I got the first one in late 2015 it was from a nearby to me SS member, Artisan. He had a grip of them! My second box I tracked down again here on the classifieds. The member I bought it from is in Arizona. His neighbor/friend...

    Front Mounted Winch Verification

    Winch, yes for M39, M809 and M939-series trucks. I am not sure what that PTO fits. However, I do know the mechanical driven winches on the M39 and M809-series trucks with the Spicer 6452 or 6453 transmissions use Dana 002224-2 or military part number 7409588.

    M818 PTO seals and boots replacment

    I just recently replaced both front and back seals on my PTO's shift shaft. It was leaking like a sieve from the front seal. I decided to pull the PTO and do all the work on the bench top. It's "more better";-) than beating your head up underneath that beast. Removing and replacing the seals is...

    Plastic Battery Box Modification

    In case you didn't see the thread, I swapped mine out for an M915 box. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?148460-M915-Battery-Box-on-M809-series I like it so much I did the driver's side too. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?181385-M915-Battery-Box-to-M809-Tool-Box

    M809 Series- Front axle work and what to expect

    I had the same problem on my old juice brakes drums (before I switch over to M939-series front drums). The right front drum had one left-hand stud infiltrator.
