RE: New Pictures of work in progress The tank that I am working on is shorter by about 10 inches and both tanks were really badly gunked up and rusted so Jeff let me use the newer deuce tank and that seemed like a logial place to put it with the need to still move a trailer

New Pictures of work in progress Here are some more photos of the tank bracing and the fuel pump as well as the engine rebuild tag from 1976 at Letterkenny Army Depot. The truck was rebuilt at Red River Army Depot in 1971 with 10,000+ miles any guess as to how many got put on it before the...

Bring some to Aberdeen and have Silicone sharing party much better use of the stuff than they do with it in Hollywood

Freinds can be like sons, I know I had a wheel fall off one of my trailers when I was working with him. He got distracted and did not put on the lug nuts and I did not check his work. I know it is my fault but off I go and off it goes too up into a guys yard and I left a nice gouge in the...

RE: Re: RE: now thats a nice looking rim That is a dayton wheel 5 spokes with wedges that center the wheel when tightening. A budd wheel has a solid center with holes for the axle and studes like a duece and 5 ton wheel

I have a 3/4 inch and almost bought a 1 inch because of the long anvil it makes tirework a more direct drive. I have to use an extension on my 3/4 on dual wheels but I think like Bjorn and Rizzo I will keep the 3/4 smaller and easier to work with. Have a blessed Easter

I have a great book with all the WW II vehicles listed in it and one of the ones I would really love to see up close is the Mack NO 7 ton Cargo Artillery truck designed to haul the long tom 155 MM and the 240 MM cannons. The book says they could carry a full 5 tons with the 15 ton cannon in...

I bought my military light switch from him long ago and he was very friendly I am sure that getting in touch would not take more than a few Google serches. Military Restoration please take a look at all the great things on this site and understand the issue Mangus is dealing with. If you...

I am running a new tank on it to get it home and currently rebuilding the first of two saddle tanks. I will be using right stuff gasket material. I am also planning on putting a Facet electronic fuel pump on it since diapham pumps always seem to disagree with me. I put an electric pump on the...

RustBullet is $116.00 a gallon about the same as POR but the coverage is better as well as the performance

Xterra: Look in my album to see what I did to my M105 when I did not have a duece to pull it with. I can easily cut off what I welded on and it has hauled 8,000 pounds gross in our move from PA to MD it was full of tools. It tows very well with my Suburban or a pick up truck.

TW are you going to bring the rock buggy to Raush Creek in October I would love to see it climb the places our Jeep grenaged it's dana 35. We had several of those style sheds on our farm in Illinois for the hay wagons and rakes and corn picker. I guess we are close to neighbors as far as Steel...

Here are some more pictures from the day I worked on the truck. The more I work on it the better I feel about it not being an M 818 or an A1 or A2. The Red River Army Depot Rebuild is from 1971 and I am trying to find out if it included the engine.

If the Army has not sent me back to the sandbox by then I will be there too, love RC the folks are all about support and letting you work your machine. I might even find the snatch block I lent to a stuck Jeep a few year back. My son blew the spiders in his TJ rear POC dana 35 and the RC...

Kenny I wish I knew you were going to the AUSA show it rocks and I have been every year since being assigned int the Capital region except for the years Uncle has sent me to the Balkins, Afghanistan and Iraq.

The Kingpins on standard semi and lowboy trailers are the same it make the S&P such a universal soldier. The HET and old 10 tons have larger King Pins and they are also permit load vehicles stay away from them unless they stay on the farm. I would also considrer building my own if you have the...

Jeff you are the man, I am making headway on the M 52 in hopes of driving it home soon after the title comes in. I just saw a ton of M818's in Haver de Grace that just came out of full depot rebuild I wonder how long till they show up. I am glad to know the history of the truck especially...

If you have not yet bought the POR check this out I love the results it gives and the testing shows it to be better. http://www.rustbullet.com/index.htm I used it on the CUCV the M 52 gas tank and will be using it on my M52 and Duece.

No Pictures on this because it happened while I was a Platoon Leader in a Medium Truck Company ( pre digital) We had a M 915 go down for the motor so it was in tow with another M 915 with a holmes fifth wheel tow adapter ( Wrecker) the bob tail took that trucks trailer and we had a second...
