    I figured it was probably the same guy.:whistle:

    A not-so-funny story (hz)

    He should take a drive up to VT and pick up my mep-803a with the locked up engine.

    You mean the tachograph?

    Burnt Fusible Link, Doghead Relay Stuck

    6 months sounds about right for a DB Electrical starter, mine lasted less than a year. It also burned up some wiring and ruined the (stock at the time) starter relay.

    Official 2017 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally buy-sell-trade thread

    I'm pretty sure that's for an m172 trailer.

    Dump bed from m51 on m211

    I've got the correct PTO with accessory drive and the cab controls for a GMC dump truck if you want to use a somewhat stock setup. As I mentioned though you'd need to get a hydraulic pump on the drivers side to make it function without a ton of extra work.

    Dump bed from m51 on m211

    Your best bet would probably be to add an aftermarket setup to a stock m211/m35a2 cargo bed. The PTO accessory drive that runs the hydraulics on a stock GMC dump truck (m215) is on the driver's side while 5 ton dump trucks like the m817 and m51 have the input on the passenger side so that would...

    Dump bed from m51 on m211

    It can be made to work. It is very heavy for the chassis which will limit the payload.

    1969 LCVP (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel)

    Now it's actually done.:-) The 40ft stepdeck came home behind the LT9000 with my brother behind the wheel. At some point military clearance lights with Packard connectors were added. It should be a good match behind the ex-Air Force Ford once both are all fixed up.

    What do YOU want to know about G-742 history?

    How about some information on the 6x4 version of the m275 that was tested at Aberdeen? Were other 6x4 variants ever considered?

    Newbie from upstate NY here.

    Welcome from across the lake. If an m105 is too large you could check around for an m101a1. Similar design but a little lower and built a fair bit lighter.

    1961 M37 new to me but I see a problem

    You probably can find the year without issue. There is a database of over a thousand trucks on g741.org. If you also post up some pictures of the truck that can help a little bit, most parts that tell the year are parts that can be changed but there are some production differences between...

    1961 M37 new to me but I see a problem

    m201 is a long wheelbase only, things have definitely been changed around. Data tag should be on the map compartment door, and as you know the serial number should be on the frame as well.

    1969 LCVP (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel)

    A few pics of the interior of the boat: After going over the basics we've got the bridge truck running and driving in the yard. The throttle sticks a bit but it didn't take much to get it going after sitting for at least 5 years. The tank was drained so we're running it off a 5 gallon can on...

    M35a2 Air Cleaner Container Question

    That hooks to the air compressor, it's used for deep water fording. Most trucks have nothing hooked up just like yours.

    1969 LCVP (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel)

    Well... it's done.:) ADM Hauling did the trucking and Guerrina Crane did a great job lifting the boat, both were very reasonably priced too. Much cheaper than having a wrecker company move it all. We used the pipe truck to winch the bridge truck on to the trailer, it's much easier to move...

    1969 LCVP (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel)

    Yep the bridge truck is a beast compared to a 2.5ton, I think it's almost 20,000lbs heavier than an m35. Definitely a cool rig.

    1969 LCVP (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel)

    We pulled the bridge truck around so it can be winched onto the trailer and we've got the ramp up on the boat so that should be all set to go.

    Katahdin's New M275A2

    This was over a year ago so it must have been the owner before the last.
