    M931A1 ? about plug in the bottom of bell housing?

    That's only plugged when fording. The plug directly next to it goes there.

    xm389 trailer (1 ton trailer for m37)

    A few years back at a forestry yard up in Maine I noticed a bare trailer frame much like an m101 but built a little heavier with the model being an xm389. After a little research I found a thread by steelandcanvas about a trailer his club had on loan to them, which had the boxes on the frame...

    Need help deciphering what exactly my truck is

    Earlier a2 trucks (like a 1967) also have that style crossmember.

    Model OD90 deuce????

    I think this is one component of it, I'd have to check out the complete kit when I go to the yard tomorrow.

    Model OD90 deuce????

    There was a military kit for a brake controller for 2.5 tons, 5 tons, and I think 10 tons too. I've got a whole setup NOS to compare with what's on your truck.

    Need help deciphering what exactly my truck is

    Air shift transfer cases could be found in any era truck. Although the early trucks had sprags many were upgraded to air shifts later on. The best way to find out the year would be to find the serial number stamped on the frame (typically in the driver's side front wheelwell). Just from the...

    New to me m59 dump truck...

    I've been reviewing your m108 thread quite a bit as I was thinking about the engine swap. Right now I've run both the fuel and air compressor lines from the multifuel down the frame in the typical routes for an m35a2 and ending up behind the rear crossmember for the transfer case (which is nice...

    It is nice, should make it easy to change the primary filter as well as the front axle to frame brake line, both of which are kind of a pain with the fenders on. I've already got a decent multifuel fender for the driver's side, just need to find a passenger side. I really don't want to have to...

    The transfer case is now in the truck, hopefully the engine will follow in the next day or two.:smile:

    New to me m59 dump truck...

    We've got all the LDT specific lines run, and we changed the front brake line as well. Since the temperature was in the high 50s today we shot a little paint on the firewall, nothing special but worth doing while the engine is out. We also removed the front wire harness. It was in great...

    How do you load trailers on to a car trailer without GL help?

    I use a hi-lift jack for that kind of stuff.

    They're bridge truck/10 ton style mirrors. It was pretty common to see them on trucks that originally came without west coast mirrors. I might just shorten them up and keep them if I don't change it over to the standard m35a2 west coast mirror arms.

    New to me m59 dump truck...

    Got the front crossmember and passenger side rear engine mount cut out. We also dropped the transfer case out of the truck today. While it's easy we'll change around the front brake line (which is mangled anyway), as well as the fuel/air lines. The cab was changed at some point in the past to...

    I said I'd wait on removing the 331, but after looking at how easy it'd be we took a few hours this afternoon to pull the fenders and then the motor/transmission. Much easier to remove than the multifuel.

    ...and the engine is out of the donor truck. The old style front crossmember makes it pretty easy, and I only forgot to unhook one line!
