My 10 bolt rear is bad, and I found a 12 bolt from a late 70's pickup(1977 I believe). It has a 14/43 tooth count. Practically the same as the 10 bolt 13/40 count. Will I have any problems with u-joints, and driveline length? Are the perches in the same spot as the M1009? Emergency brake cables...
I got my trailer home, and I'm going over it and I think the only thing missing is this handle for locking, and unlocking the steering pin. I would like to find one, and maybe a part number would be a place to start. I did find this link that shows it. The handle is necked down to about 3/16 and...
The handle on my trailer tongue/leveling jack only spins. I took it apart, and there is a shear pin that holds the gear from spinning. I hope I described this correctly. Is there a good source for these pins? To describe the jack itself, it has a weld on fixture that the common jack pins to on...
2nd part of the question ...is the M35 wheel what was used?
I think the combat rims on the M2 International look really good and hope something similar in 20" was used.
I read the sticky on removing the shutoff rod, but was wondering what causes the button to fall off the HYD head? I've not had an IP apart, so I'm not understanding how this works. I want to make sure the shutoff works freely before I crank over the engine. I get the impression that the button...
I've seen the price of original pumps, and wondered if there was some work around that didn't empty the wallet. They certainly went up in price since I bought my last one.
What pressure and volume did the original put out?
Thanks
You don't see many of these turn up anymore. It was out in Oregon...no sales tax. I have always liked these trucks, and was tempted. Anybody here get it?https://www.govplanet.com/jsp/s/item/11685693?h=6-22
These trailers are selling by the dozens in CA for under $500. I'm not sure if they are M989, or the M989a1. Is there a difference in dimensions, and tire size? Especially interested in the wheelbase of them since it would need to be hauled. Thanks
Do they answer email questions? I have asked 3 times recently but never got a response. I won something and asked about shipping....crickets. My mistake that I assumed the item would be parcel shipped like others sold. Looks like I'll get a black mark, but even tho I bid too much, I'd pay for...
Fuel tanks come up occasionally, and sometimes in the crate, and sometimes not, but they look used. I was trying to figure out why a fuel tank would be removed from the vehicle in the 1st place if it was good. I was apprehensive to bid thinking there must be something wrong with it. I can't...
I have 2 of these on a trailer. What I'm concerned with is the injection pump on each. They have been sitting along time unused. I noticed in another thread on these generators that the single cylinder Deutz diesel injection pump should be checked to make certain it moves freely. How should I do...
My generator seems to be set up differently than most. I don't think mine uses the line selector switch. Everything is like a convenience plug. I haven't counted how many it has, but there are 3 cord retractors and a post with more plugs. It is trailer mounted.
One of my concerns is the...
Which dolly would be best to carry a S-280 shelter. Is the M720 better behind a pickup, and the M832 better behind a M35a2? Are the top speeds the same? Is one more inherently stable at speed? Appreciate your thoughts, on what to look for.
Location is always important, but as a general rule, what are they going for these days, for one with no body cancer? I've checked CL in the PNW, with zero results, for any condition. I have a M1028, I'm thinking of selling, I want to get as much as possible, and can wait.
Asking for advice...
Are there any internal differences between M1009, M1008, M1028, and M1031? I've seen different numbers cast into the housing like 26, 28, 28HD maybe more, but I didn't know if one was better than another. If it came out of a CUCV are they all the same?
Thanks.
I have this M1028 that has a cooked transmission. I bought it this way from the Gov't. It was only used as a campground truck. So I'm thinking someone abused it in possibly 1 episode. The fluid was good in the transfer case. It has 37k miles on it that probably are original.
I can't find a new...
