RE: Mack NO That
Do you have a clear photo of the winch and the cover you are looking for. I know where there is a pile of winches(30 or more) many of them early military, I may be able to get you the cover if the right winch is there.

My engine is the LDS 4651A, when I got it back at the first of the year, it had been completely drained of all fluids, so the oil is new and now all the filters are new but the change in oil pressure worries me. 65lbs seems really high for the engine to have at idle! Nothing else has changed...
I changed oil and fuel filters on the 5 ton, fuel filters were in terrible shape, especially the secondary ones(hard to reach to change). Oil filters looked pretty good, I let the truck sit for about two weeks to drain the filters. Only had to add a quart or so of oil. Issue is prior to filter...
Thanks guys, I am on the way to the Nuts & Bolts guy to find a cup style washer, I will have the filter bowl in hand so it should be an easy fix. Luckly I have a brother in law in the parts business so all the fuel and oil filters(WIX) only cost about $23, I just wanted to make sure my good...
I am in the process of changing the filters on the M543A2, I pulled the primary fuel filter and found the filter looks nothing like the one that should be in there! My question is am I missing parts to the filter unit? The photos below show what I have, the filter bowl, two small washers, a...
RE: fuel can bracket
JB:
Page 21 of the manual shows the mount and mounting location of the fluid container carrier. If you don't have the manual let me know I will email it to you. That is my trailer in your first shot, my carrier is located on top of the fender, soon to be relocated. Mine...
This Memorial Day weekend the Natioanl Cemetery in Fayetteville would like to have a MV display for their flag day event, this is when local organizations place flags on all the veterans' graves(Sat. May 26th). If you are in the area and would like to participate PM me I would like to get back...
Could be, I don't even remember the name of the town, but when I stopped at the local 7-11 to ask about the gun, I got a lead on a M37 in town, but it was the guy Dad's so he didn't want to sell it.

I was on my way from NW Arkansas to Dallas via the backroads when I ran up on this piece of artillery on display in a very small town. It is in great shape for just being on the side of the road, not even a broken light! Had to share.

Anyone recoginze a starter for my 5 ton. I am going to have a look at mine tomorrow to see if one of these is a match. I was looking at a diesel gen set this guy has and saw the starters, don't know a price yet but I bet they go pretty cheap.

Look it was our first time out, we were worried about making it, even though we did take the camera and we did stop at Taco Bell on the way home. We were too tall for the dirve through, so we ate on the truck in the parking lot, still didn't think of photos until we got back to the motor pool...
Drove about 6-8 miles in the wrecker today, just a tour around town, like being in a parade, a very loud parade! Once I got out on the road my fuel gage went crazy and has not been sane since, I guess it has a short, it now jumps everywhere or just shows a full tank? Anyway it was a great...
RE: battery
Jason, you made it back from Ft. Riley and six batteries too. I guess I should have gotten a couple more at the discount price before your high vol. demand on the supply ran up the price!!!!!!!
