    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    Will likely need paint. Need to figure out a way to spray paint the ds without throwing off balance. Facing the same issue with my newly acquired 2025 pickup truck that has a nekked unpainted ds that has already rusted.

    Deuce VIN's..

    Underneath the hood will just be maintenance related. You already know what would be painted ON the hood, 4L37769 The bumper sanding has to be done all the way to bare metal most times.

    Air compressor

    The twin was used 1950-1985?, then the single came out because the twin was obsolete. They are interchangeable.

    See if you can query property tax records to find the owner.

    Deuce VIN's..

    Your hood number is correct. Very few deuces were sent by civilians from CONUS to Europe, so there is a hint. Try sanding bumpers to detect painted over unit markings.

    Deuce VIN's..

    Your data fits into the database perfectly. Your truck is a 1969 however. Your actual truck does not show up because it was excessed prior to the database query which was done in the 1990s.

    Engine removal

    I prefer to pull the engine with the transmission attached because I hate having to stab transmissions into clutch assemblies while lying on the floor.

    Log of my M1165. Project Joshua.

    RWH if I could kindly ask you to share any and all safety information related to MT/Rs. I was under the impression that this sidewall issue was only for a certain year(s) of mfg, not every single one of them.

    M37 seats and cushions for cab

    You could get some thick foam from Hobby Lobby possibly and use some shelter halves to cover the foam.

    Rear main seal leaking bad.

    Look for the civilian version of the 230 that came in 1964-66 Jeep vehicles. Rock Auto lists it.

    Just won an auction - M1088A1

    Driving on those tires is not to be considered, they are from 2002. Otherwise looks great.

    Clutch pedal adjustment

    Last I checked, the underneath of the floorboard is what both pedal arms slam up against, so not sure it’s possible to shim either pedal further down.

    M915A1 engine choices

    915A1s went through numerous RESETs, IRONs, etc over their long career. It is my belief that the 400s were evaluated individually and either “painted black” or sent to Cummins for overhaul as determined necessary by the depot.

    Need advice please: transmission control module for 2008 Case Backhoe loader 580 SMii (industrial BHL backhoe loader)

    Yeah Case has left me high and dry on machines as well. Is this board mil specific? If not, do any machine dismantlers show to have it? Are there any 3rd party repair facilities available for this? There is a shop that fixes Allison boards. Did you try any tricks to fix your board, like...
