Well got the injector pump put back on today. Fired and and idles well. Good feeling to hear it run again after letting it sit broke down for so long. Going to head to town after a bit and get some dishwasher soap and vinegar and flush the cooling system a couple of times before I dump a 100...

Thought I had a good place to get those tanks boiled out, but at last the office clerk did not know what she was taking about. Upon calling the shop back after everyone got back from lunch, the shop foreman informed me that there tanks where not big enough. Back to calling random shops on...

Well drained the oil today and fished around a little with my little magnet pole, nothing found. Took a break from engine worries and started taking my tanks apart. Found the source of my issues. Tanks are dirty, contaminated, and rusty. Took a putty knife and scraped the bottom of one tank and...

I have no way of telling where the bolt is at, I do not know if any of the local parts stores have a bore-scope to rent out. I hope that I can drain the oil and fish it out through the drain plug. I turned the motor over very slowly by hand and did not feel any obstruction. I hope that if it was...

Got a half moon wrench but the thickness of the wrench walls will not let it seat on the head of the bolt. Maybe I need to find one made with thinner material.

Haven't had a chance to look for it yet today. Just got back from town. Went ahead and bought six gallons of distilled water to refill the radiator. Tried to get some heavy duty antifreeze but Napa only had one gallon of their store brand in stock. Anyone want to make a good recommendation on...

Got my rebuilt injectors and pump back a couple of days ago. Also got some upgraded H4 headlights so I can buy cheaper bulbs now instead of expensive sealed beams. Anyway I installed the injectors today and thought I would have the pump put back on tomorrow. I was shooting to run in the local...

Yeah, my original problem started because I had the drivers tank pulled and welded new steel plates where the bottom straps sat. Anyway while the tank was out I needed to use the truck and switched to the passenger tank which had questionable fuel in it. I knew better, and am now paying the...

Well after having my m816 for about two years now i finally have some time to work with it. I just finished earning my college degree at the not so tender age of 33, so now while I sit around waiting for the great job I am suppose to get, I have a little free time to work on my wrecker. I have...

Found a 10 ton today. Being auctioned off, don't think the rules of this forum will let me tell anybody where. Anyway just hoping somebody buys it and doesn't sell it for scrap.

Well, I took the outriggers off of my wrecker. Washed all the old grime and grease off. Now they are sitting in my yard wagon in the garage with a slight coating of PB blaster waiting for a wire brush and some primer, then it is off to town for a large bucket of fresh grease. Oh. yeah I do not...

so after sitting all winter i started working on my new 816. been tearing the rear winch apart to free up the level wind and the cable was pulled out of the pulley on the tensioner. after a couple of calls and a short internet search i found i am having trouble finding replacement parts for the...

Thanks for the information. I went and looked at one, took it for a drive. Seemed to be in good running order. Everything works as far as I can tell. Looks to have some seal seepage around the drive train. Not surprising for a 1970 model, the guy who owns it says military rigs are known to seep...

Hello, I am new to this forum. Was trying to do some research and the name of this forum kept coming up. I am thinking about buying my first and hopefully not my last military rig. I want something that is rugged and made to work. I am trying to start a small salvage company (wood, steel, etc)...
