I FINALLY got a tow bar for the M50A2, picked it up at little military show yesterday right down the road from me, it was a great show lots of cool peeps and good food, so stoked to have found this . Now just gotta figure out what position the cab levers need to be in, and I can tow this to...

Cheaper than a new truck? Free shipping, fleabay, sellet can convert to 24v no charge . And for the record, a lot of these rigs never make it back to "turn in" they are often cheap sold right from the station, especially with a dead engine, don't ask me how I know .

Those U-bolts are junk, so an acetylene torch or a cut off wheel is your friend . Have some new ones made or pay thru the nose for some NOS ones . IF you are trying to save the nuts (because NOS U-bolts don't come with them) then I reccomend PB Blaster, heat and a good impact, but new ones...

Broken/weak valve springs occur considerably more with age as the metal becomes fatigued, we know that, one would presume that since he did not show a pic of broken springs or beat up keepers or mention any of the above that they were "okay" . Until it's pulled apart there is nothing but...

You can theorize all you want, but you have no idea what that piston actually looks until you pull the head and look at it, or see it with a borescope (if that's possible) If the valve dropped it's due to a faulty keeper or broken/weak springs which can all be repaired on the non offending...

Doesn't seem like it'd be all that hard to pull it around back and yank the head off, if the piston is "okay" and the problem is isolated to the head, then rebuild the head and pop it back on and run it for another 20 years . Diesel pistons are pretty tough and can take some well above average...

If your hyd res is 3 gallons low with bed down, that's certainly where I'd start, then if problem continues address filters .

I think it was the wording that may have threw some folks, the yoke is held on by a nut threading onto the pinion, holding the yoke in place . Pull the nut back off clean the threads and put a couple drops of blue loctite on them, reinstall and give nut a couple quick wacks with an impact if...

Looking at a couple A3's a friend has, I don't need two, so was thinking of buying them and selling one . I have never owned nor even driven one of these, and prices for the few I've found for sale online are all over the pkace, from 2500. for parts trucks to 31k for a gold plated one . So...

I painted my entire M35 water truck with 1 gallon of paint, thinned it per the instructions, used a roller and brush, no primer, laid down great, looks great . Thats All I got .

If I'm not mistaken those rigs use a thick cut gear on the lower ratio (numerically) case . I'm betting someone make a thick cut higher ratio (numerically) gear for the original case, that being said you should be able to lunchbox the carrier and run a set of thick cut gears in whatever flavor...

Oops, forgot pics for proof 😬 .

Just a quick check on eghey shows me several options fro the 20, Spartan, Lokrite and Detroit Locker . I didn't dig into ratio selection on the Detroit, but stuff is out there for sure . Seems like maybe rigging up cutting brakes (poor mans locker) for the rear would me quicker/simpler for...

I had a 52 XM211, it was in mint condition, but that Cadillac transmission and the bizarre way GM set that truck up killed it for me, I can't even see the engine in yours, got more pics ? Still have the Caddy trans ?

Okay I'll play ... M50A2 Deuce 1/2: Fuel kill is always pushed back in after I stop engine . Transmission is NEVER left in gear, I often even pull the T-case into neutral, my park brake works excellent . All that is needed is to spin the starter, not too difficult . M931A2 5 ton...

Hello Not sure how trash could get into a T-case, maybe just old Army gear goo ? Things I personally would try before removal and disassembly of said case: 1- drain trash/goo From case and fill with ATF which has detergent in it, and run the truck around and clean the case out, and it will...

Hey nice looking truck, looks uber clean . So it drives fine forward in high ? If so personally I would start beating it down the road and getting heat in the trans and making things come back to life, I find these things develops issues sitting around, I know mine has . Some things will fix...

Cool truck, I like that winch on the back and the roller, nice that your saving and repairing the old building too, hardly anyone does anymore they just smash and put up new . 🇺🇸

What else did you do when you "climbed aboard" ? I doubt that just getting in the truck would cause a problem, but, if the gauge is pegging over it's because is receiving a full ground signal, so somewhere that signal wire is getting to ground like it's maybe rubbed through somewhere, or your...

Here's a couple pics of some different fenders that I have, I'm on the West coast so they won't by do you any good, but just for ideas, run a couple pieces of pipe straight out from the top of the upright section below the curvature of your tank, hang em high for the articulation these trucks...
