Just for some more motivation - have a look at this thread and the progress this guy in Indiana is making on his SECO Sexton. Nice job so far.... http://orbit.dnsrouter.com/~mlu/forums/showthread.php?t=14131

dieselfuelonly - Here is another helpful TM to go with the others above, especially if rebuilding one. It covers a few other models as well.

Came across this thread while looking for a picture from a ways back and realized I never got the information on the kingpin spacer sizes from the kit. Just to tie up loose ends I attached this pic of them and there sizes

ALFA2 - This box should be available from heavy truck used parts suppliers nationwide. The plate would have to be manufactured by whomever required it as they were part of the trucks frame assly when new. It doesn't look like it would take too much skill to fab one up. As well...

Amxhunter - Thought this might be an option for you. Although Ross model HFB-52022 boxes mount with three bolts instead of four, they will work with a mount plate attached to the frame. All the Canadian 2.5 ton M-35 series trucks use them as they came from the factory this way. The plate is...

New Canadian 8-ton MSVS Trucks See this thread - Canadian RFP for 2,300 Medium Trucks - for info on our new M-35/MLVW replacements, the Medium Suport Vehicle System. I posted a few pictures taken at the local Cummins dealers yard for size comparison. They have/are being distributed across the...

Here's a pic from an unknown source. It has the hump on the hood to allow it to clear the forward-most j-brake. Another member you could get some info from is Steamynachos - he has a sweet 813 with the setup.

And this is what we end up with... Came across these today on the way by the Cummins Eastern office yard. They are 2009 Workstar 7400 SFA 8 Ton Cargo 6x6's, built by Navistar Defense. Here is the company link - http://tinyurl.com/nw8p25 - with the story. Our 2.5 Ton MLVW's(M-35) are being...

I have several Canadian manuals - ie. maintenance, modifications, data info and parts. They are all however electronic files and may be a problem sending such large files to an e-mail account. I would have to check the size of the larger ones to see how much could be sent. I believe the vehicles...

Well I just looked at the tires on one truck and it's 3/4 Ton trailer. It has Cooper 'Super Traction-Tread' 9.50-16.5LT M/S on the trailer and Goodyear 9.50x16.5 LT 'Custom Xtra Grip Wide Tread' on the "5/4" truck, as we refered to them in the service. As it stands right now I may be incorrect...

I can't say for sure the model/name of the tires, but they are a Firestone brand 9.50" x 16.5" 10-ply, load range E. I can have a look Monday at a truck to confirm the name. The trucks left the factory with bucket seats, but as time went on a modification instruction came out that certain trucks...

Those are our now replaced Canadian 1976 Chevrolet 5/4 Ton pickup trucks. They reinforced the frame of the CK200 by incorporating some technology of the CK300 frame according to GM so the vehicle would have the 1-1/4 Ton rating. Basicly GM's first standard commercial regular production pickup...

Operating MLVW by the book... Moroco - You should only be engaging the front axle when it is required for better traction on loose or slippery surfaces to assist in moving the vehicle. The MLVW does not have any locking axles on it in the locking differential sense, if that was what you are...

Sorry if this is a bit off off topic, but all this talk of shear pin material, temper and shear strength along with bits of block and tackle use is quite interesting and informative. Recovery is also part of my job and thought it relevant to mention that there is a great manual...

Had this pic on file...not sure where I got it.

KenzMan - Even without seeing the axle u-joint and the axle housing seal/thrust washer combo, this may also be part of your problem with the described up and down play. Likely a damaged seal is to blame for the oil leak, probably from the worn parts beating around. Hopefully not, but check...

Shocks Try these: Front - Monroe Magnum 65 #65102 Rear - Monroe Magnum 65 #65407

Steering end-play KenzMan - As gringeltaube and Floridianson said, there is only one shim. I have found that when given an inspection that says the end-play is out, I re-check to confirm. Often the check was performed incorrectly by just jacking and giving the wheel a shake to see if there...
