I've read a bunch of threads. I get it, low current and it won't flash. So one LED and one filament until I replace with a new LED flasher or just throw a load resistor in parallel on each side. The really puzzling thing is the indicator in the turn signal assy. It won't illuminate an LED or...

Put in a sheet of plywood leaning against the second support to deflect the chips downward

Has anyone tried to add a hitch to the back of a trailer? M998 to M1101 to a towed machine. Specifically a Vemeer chipper feeding a M1101 with chips towed by an M998. A little bit of a Choo Choo train.

I have the pathetic beep beep horn. Looks like it draws maybe 100 mA. I want to replace it with a consumer two tone but they draw maybe 3.5 A. Not worried about the wiring but maybe it's too much for the button? Thinking about installing a relay but is that overkill? Anyone done this on an...

New to me M998 with MWO 9-2320-280-35-1 parking brake upgrade. I read the MWO. I guess the adjustment is via the linkage from the handle. Is there a different procedure for this with the MWO applied? The brake doesn't really hold and I'm hoping it will if I snug it up a little but don't want...

I finally have the title in hand. Then I tried for un registered farm plates. I was told with a GVWR of 7,700 lbs I don't qualify for one time unregistered plates and that I have to get F-Tags with yearly registration fees. The DMV site states: Conditions A DMV-issued permanent farm use...

Has anyone had any luck avoiding VA Sales Tax on a HUMVEE for farm use? I will plate it as an un-registered farm vehicle but it seems there is no way to avoid the sales and use tax applied when I apply for the new title. The other option is to not get a title and pay nothing. However, this...

Hi, New to me 1986 M998 with some bubba work done to it. I need to clean up that battery area, remove the 12 V stuff, etc. I see someone tried to arc weld to the chassis side of the shunt. The battery trays I have seen online have holes for the threaded hooks and a bracket on top. Maybe...

OK, ignoring comments about safety and people in trailers, anyone ever used M998 troop seats on an M1101 trailer? Thinking they might bolt to the top sides and make it into a stake body trailer of sorts. Maybe remove the seats and just use the backs. I think the bed in the M998 pickup and the...

Loaded a ton of brush into my M998 (pickup setup) and thought the backs of the troop carrier seats would turn this into a nice stake body truck. Maybe the seats would get in the way or I could fold them up? Wonder if just the backs can be mounted? It's a farm utility vehicle. 2 passenger...

New to me M998. Thought I'd put in a keyed ignition switch. Disconnected the neg rear batt terminal to the chassis for safety. Wired in the new switch. Turned it to the on position before putting it in the dash and the brake and wait lights came on. Wow, but I'm a newbie to the vehicle ...
