James, Your pm is full here is my pm: James, Do you have a lift axle that you want to sell? I need to put one on the back of my m944 and thought maybe you had one of the m919 ones that you dont need. Thanks, Ross

Im having trouble with the m915 cat air shifted semi automatic tranny. It dosent shift reliably unless I keep the air pressure up around 110 psi or higher, it is supposed to work with +80 psi. Ive been hauling corn with it and if I use the brakes and shift down to 11 or 12th gear it brings the...

Well it was a long recovery with a few bumps but my m915 is finally home. It was dragged out of a snow pile at fort drum and as usual someone with forklifts and no regard for old trucks did some damage. The maxibrakes were bent up a little and air lines,tailights and wires smashed. I ended...

I went to KS last wednesday with my m818 and m872a3 to recover my new m1009 and two container chassis trailers. Got to meet MWMULES(Dave) and another mv enthusiast. GL just put up a loading dock so I was able to drive my m1009 right onto the m872. The gl guy used a forklift to put one of the...

I need an alternator for my m944a1 truck. I seem to remember something about the 939 series trucks having a different alt then m809 series trucks. Is that true or will any m35,m818 etc alt work? Anybody have a source for an alternator and what do I need to watch out for. I also need a...

I was high bidder on a m313 trailer and am wondering if there is provision for a pintle hitch on the back like my m447 has? I cant see anything in the gl pic but I thought they were based on the same chassis.

Well I didnt get many pictures as we were working like dogs to get it all done but my dad and I went down to Hooks Tx and picked up 3 gl m818 trucks, pull started them (with the suburban first) and drove them off the lot to the parking lot. One truck had a padlock on the top toolbox and I...

Hello, I am picking up 3 m818 trucks in Hooks TX(texarkana)in the morning and have to take one of them down to killeen. Does anybody along my route have a place I could drop two of the m818s off while I go to Killeen? I think Id like to drop it off north of dallas maybe at...

I will be attempting a recovery of my 872 (I dont know if it a1,a2,etc see post below)trailer with my 818 truck soon. I cant seem to find a tm operator manual for it and would like to know what I need to do with kingpin to make it work on the 818 if it is set for the m915. I havent seen any...

Anybody know what it is?

Im heading to hooks tx from nebraska soon to pick up 3 m818s. I am thinking of towing two with one. Has anyone tried this? I had some problems when towing my 109 with my m35. The front tires on the 109 wanted to steer the opposite direction of my turn occasionally. Will I have this problem...

Took 3 of my boys deer hunting last week. 12yr old got his first and the 15 yr old got his third deer. The ten yr old and I didnt score yet but there is a late season in january.

We had rain here over last few days (putting harvest on hold)so I decided to try and get the grain dump box on my m919. I wasnt smart enough to weigh it ahead of time but the cab/chassis weighs 26150 lbs with a half tank of fuel and only 2 improper wheels on the air tag. Getting the mixer off...

What wheels do I need to put the 46 or 52 inch supersingles on my M919? I think I remember m1075 saying that he was having trouble with the rims hitting on the brake drums or something. 1075, do you have wheels and tires that will work on my M919? Thanks, Ross

Well I finally got my M919 concrete truck shipped here and was fooling with it inbetween unloading grain trucks. It wouldnt start with a jump and I ended up changing all 4 batteries because they wouldnt even hold a charge. I got it running and it starts fine and sounds real good but I dont...

My tachograph is missing the lights for night illumination. Does anybody know where I could get some? It is very irritating to shine a flash light on the instrument every 3 minutes.

I was recently traveling with my m35 and spotted this awesome mv at a truck stop. My son had to run for the pic as the truck was leaving. What is it? Ross/Nebraska

My middle son and I recently took a trip to Delta Ohio to pick up an East dump trailer. I put a Napa muffler on and had ouverson engineering excellent lockouts on the front. I pulled the rear driveshaft so the tandem wasnt locked together. I got 9.7 mpg empty and close to 7 pulling the 15000...

A few weeks ago I took two of my boys with me to Devils Lake North Dakota to recover my m944a1. I made a conversion hitch for the dolly (from some gl stuff)and pulled it up there with my suburban and pulled the suburban back with the m944a1. The batteries were dead so the soldiers that were...
