No. I made records of the seals I got for the hydraulic cyls. All of mine leaked. Not now. I tried the supplier to the military by email. crickets only. It appears the policy on parts is not to supply anyone but the military. Probably a tactical decision. I raise mine with a hand pump or a...

I have standard bolt replacement scheme for these. Originals are 1-3/8". Kind of unusual size. You can get a suitable bolt at "Fastenall". 1-1/4". I install them from the outside after the M1022 (Not A1 )is in place. One washer IS NOT enough. I use about 6-8 washers inside the connection...

I have simple "work arounds" for the typically missing stuff. Like the special bolts that attach it to the box. If you need the numbers and where to buy the lift cyl seals for the M1022 (NOT A1) I can send you my notes. My choices were all 5000PSI seals. The average PSI to lift my S280...

As an example of other DMV problems that should not exist... I own a 1946 dump truck. I had no problem registering it. Non 16 digit vin and all. I guess I was lucky when I bought the M817a1 The registration says manufacturer is US Army, body type M817 ect. I have never been stopped in it. I...

Don't know if you want to mention this to soldier A... but... I think I still have a high performance camshaft for that engine. if you are interested you will need to send me the sizes of the bearings that fit your engine. GM changed the bearing sizes when they began to offer the automatic...

I have occasionally found old truck parts to be "no longer manufactured". Sometimes the difference is just the specific length has been discontinued but the ends are all the same. My first experience with this was a 1946 Chevy 5 ton (civilian) truck. (I still have it) The parts store guy handed...

They put the same kind of bands on the same kind of "birds" in the UK. Wise guy alert! :-D:clinto:

I have an M720 and M1022 and years of experiance with suspension issues. The problem is the "ALIGNMENT". There are 3 things involved, CASTER, CAMBER, and TOE SET. Toe must be done last. CAMBER has almost no effect on handling. CASTER will have a dramatic effect on handling, just as you all...

The tax system of the USA is thievery plain and simple There is a loophole in your statement "If you don't spend money you usually can't be taxed on it.". "Inflation rate" is the most powerful tax the fed wields. Every dollar anyone has is being taxed by the inflation rate every minute...

Hydro lock When you had the injectors out did you insert a narrow tube through the injector hole and suck out as much water as possible? Since these pistons are not flat you should search around a bit to get as much water out as possible. The piston should be at the bottom of it's travel when...

40+ years "under the hood" and I am a hand packer also. Double entendre not allowed... but funny. :-D :-D

I recycle every Prius I pick outta my grill. Ya gotta love a man with a sense of humor. :D

Once you have worked out the details of adjusting the brakes on the M35A2 it can be done, on all 12 shoes, very easily in less than an hour.

I have charged batteries connected in series (like yours) and it does work fine with all cables connected. Just make sure your 12vddc charger is connected across only one battery at a time. Since batteries give off hydrogen when they are being charged. I would ventilate the vehicle well to...

Water in the pipe Why not find the low spot and drill a tiny hole there so it will drain on it's own. Any kind of plug will hold water in the pipe accelerating the pipe's rust out. Not to mention that pulling the plug is just one more thing to do, or forget to do, before you go riding. Every...

Big bang theory? 6vdc and 12vdc units do come specifically for systems "With/resistor" and "Without/resistor". This difference started appearing on American engines in the late 1940's. The reason for the resistor type coil was to make the engine much easier to start in cold weather. This was...

As a clarification, I have not dug very deep into the CDL requirements and I am in Virginia. I own an M817 and M35a2. That said, I understand that the interstate rules say if your registration states GVWR=26000lbs, or more, you have to have a CDL. And air brake endorsement is required at that...
