I beg to differ...it's a rusty, green dump truck;-)

No room for cargo, but cool nonetheless!

Not the cheapest, but a start (i.e part numbers). http://www.stephanwoodproducts.com/index.html

Once the shift lever is moved from the Reverse position into the Neutral position or any other gear position the sprag will engage for forward movement. The sprag will not change position until Reverse is selected. Then, will the sprag engage for rearward movement. DO NOT allow the vehicle to...

Mine is cantankerous coming out of first to neutral. It does get better once warm. I am in the habit of double clutching all shifts as my fourth likes to mash its teeth a little up and down. As a side note...I no longer use the LO called for 80W-90 gear oil. I am using Spicer recommended SAE...

[thumbzup] Good to hear you are all dialed in and back on the road:driver:. 9 times out of 10 the fixes on these old gals are pretty simple. They just need to be stroked and told you love 'em:roll::-D

I am going to agree with the selector valve and rubber hoses issue. Mine were bad and I replaced everything. However, I could get the engine to start but I had no power above idle. At one point I did get the no start with white smoke. Since tackling the project I have had no problems. DO...

Agreed...Memphis and Eastern sell S-cam conversion kits, but they are CHA-CHING $$$$$$.

More Portugal trucks...M818 and an M816 with AB's

Not an M813, but close enough...An M818 out of Portugal. Take note of the wedge styles on the rear...it can be done. Looks like M939 parts. Apparently they do great rebuilds there. Gorgeous truck!

Agreed! Nice find there!

You guys made quick work of that.

Agreed, Crescent wrench works good too[thumbzup]

Dave, that blows man! Judging by the photo looks like the truck is parked over by your maintenance shed/garage, correct? If so, being near the center of your yard, It would require a would-be saboteur to have to hoof-it a good distance after breaching your perimeter fence. If somebody was going...

Well, this weekend (03-09-13) I purged and refilled the power steering system with hydraulic oil, installed an in-line fuse on my previously installed reverse alarm/light, and started the wiring for my forthcoming armor dome-light. Amazing what you can get done when your truck is at home and...

Had to make sure I got that 11.00R20 ONLY disclaimer in there. I didn't want to be on the receiving end of a rant when that super single didn't fit:grin:

Yeah, the clincher is getting the tire back up into the rack. I just rolled it off onto my grass to get it down. I got real good at taking the tires off and putting them on when I did my torque rod project.

I couldn't wait to post here today. I got a lot done today (03-03-13). -Installed an M939(A0) spare tire davit http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?103944-M939-spare-tire-davit-on-M818 -New front axle bumpers -And new 24" X 30" mud flaps.

I also obtained the big "wing nut" that is part on the M939 outer vertical rack securing rod. I did a little fab work to make the rod and wing nut work. The shorter rod is the original and the longer is what I fabbed up. I did cut it down about another 4" when I finally got it all fitted up...

Fearing someday I may have to hoist one of these extremely heavy 11.00R20 tires back into it's carrier while on the road side, I decided an M939(A0) spare tire davit on my M818 would be fitting as standard equipment on my truck. I was able to find all the parts locally. I picked up the inner...
