if my memory is right from school, it should have the 8.3L cummins turbocharged aftercooled inline 6. from the few 939 series 5 tons my company used to have you should be good to go if you get it directly from eastern surplus or the like but if you get one straight from gl then it'll probably be...

just a little sidebar, my company (233rd HET CO) was the main company who moved the armor school and museum from ft knox to ft benning :driver:

pardon the stupid question but how exactly does the sprag front drive axle work? and why couldn't one just swap out the 5 ton case for a deuce case?

you'd have to find the refill canisters but i wouldn't even worry about it if it fires right up

jaxsof, you are right that is a picture of the M977 cargo, the spare tire is where it should be (behind the passenger side of the cab) but there is no spare there

makes me glad all i can get stuck is a HET which will come outta almost every thing with the use of a good H8 team and a M984 wrecker :grd:

so kinda a dumb question, but how much exactly is 1 cord of wood? im just wondering because me and a couple buddies packed the bed of my short bed 4X4 3/4 ton duramax full up to cab height and where wondering how heavy it was, because the truck was sitting level thanks for the info

i agree, great looking trailer, and as far as the dump bed goes i believe a good while back a member here was building a trailer out of a deuce chassis and thru the words of others was trying to make it a dump and a powered unit. he was planning on running a drive shaft from the rear output...

so i just spent the whole weekend reading this thread and now i really want to go build something....what, i'm not sure yet but i'll figure it out lol. great job, looks like new.

should be, thats atleast what it looks like.

just a guess but i'm going to say the "ballbusting" ones are from an M88 Hercules tracked wrecker, and the other one sounds like the ones we have at work off our M984 wrecker for our M1070 HET systems

i believe that bed is for a long 5 ton series before the M809 series, note the BII box under the left front corner. as the previously posted picture of an M814 shows no BII box on the left side, just throwing that out there...

i get spend my days as an army HET mechanic (M1070/M100 heavy equipment transporter), my trucks are the replacement for those M911's but let me tell you, the M911's where the chit, i was in ft Knox back in july for a training exercise and had the pleasure of driving a few bobtailed M1070's on...
