FD largely gave up on buying manual trans (when could afford Allisons) about the same time as Uncle Sam (25yrs ago). And it is getting more so every year. The % of the population that can drive a manual without breaking you on clutch/equipment repairs is small. We long got past the "not...
Correction M109A4. No interest in multifuel/manual. It's CAT/Allison
I was apparently not clear. Cost to us to acquire any of the 3 options is the same (essentially $0). Question is what most "profitable" endgame is.
Does a new condtion M109 (A4) body have marketability/what value vs...
Anywhere you want to go road or limited crosscountry, Full air brakes.
Likely could modify a M1022 but more work due to the design.
Backing a full trailer (vs bumper hitch) is a bit of a trick.
Acquiring a M35A3 for Fire Dept/City. Your opinion requested.
Option 1. M109A4. Box reported rebuilt at same time as the rebuild of chassis.
Option 2. M35A3 with winch (hydraulic). Remove winch.
Option 3 M35A3C dropside with or without winch
Removal sale of 109 box, dropside bed, and or...
We're into function not actetics in my FD. Modern CAT diesel vs a 50yr old boat anchor/"mulitfuel". Industry standard is Allison vs manual. Sam put on the "good bits" desired on a Duece when did the rebuilds. A chassis with frame off rebuild approx 12yr ago that typicaly has 2-5000mi. Not a hard...
I think you mean empty with is 2200lb?
Std ISO box is 8' high. If you have a 9' that is a Hicube and can't use a M1022. I think M1022A1 will work for a Hicube.
Rated load capacity of M1022 is 15000lb (box with cargon). Tires will be the limiting factor on total load.
Trailer quite...
What is a CUCV with NSN 2320-01-090-7894?
This NSN is not listed on the TMs. Several at Camp Ripley Mn DRMO and I have several lcoal FD looking help locating a CUCV for conversion to wildland/brush truck.
Description detail is listed as
RATED LOAD CAPACITY: 1T
VEHICLE MAXIMUM GROSS...
Or not. 9ea M109A4 shop vans now listed DRMO Fr McCoy. And 6ea Letterkenny, 4ea Ogden, UT
McCoy say have some 100 35A3 series they are disposing of. Hopefully all these don't go to the Phillipines. Why Rural Vol FD are not snapping these up???
Electric pump for a TPU (tank pump unit). Fuel operated had a hand held remote on a cable he used to turn pump motor on/off. A long slave cable ran from the "big" recep. to the slave recp on the truck.
Can anyone quote the mfg/model # for the M923 series rear? Milspec or is there a counterpart in civilian world.
What I'm looking for is what the a civilian GVW rating would be. Military rating does help. Working on a glider concept for Civilian Fire Dept tanker chassis and need donor rear...
thanks will try that out. Bit different that our Mep009 or Mep003.
Has a ground hammer and wire no rods. Certainly very good/well advise practice to pu ground rod in (of course didn't in rush to see if she works).
Just picked up nice looking MEP004 on M200 trl from DRMO McCoy. 1260hr. Fires up and runs great. NOTHING on any of the meters indicating any electric output. Convience outlet dead. Multimeter indicates nothing at any terminals on output board. 1st time I've had this (2x MEP002, MEP003, MEP009B).
