Lots of threads here on batteries, so at the end of the day; with all of your lessons learned, what would you recommend to someone who has a 5 Ton with 4 dead Hawker HASP-FT 6TL batteries? I have read about the Optima Redtop option, I don't like the idea of cutting back so much of the...

Is there a site that sells parts based on Military Part numbers? Or a conversion to common part ID such as threads per inch, pitch, material, elbow, etc? I'm trying to find a replacement fitting for a leaky air line to the poppet valves on the transmission on my M813. The part number is...

Could the slave receptacle on the side of the cab be used as a temp connection point for a 24v electric winch for the bed? I'm unsure if this outlet is a good point to use for a high amp draw - over a prolong time (5 minutes or so). Basically looking for a quick connection for a 5k winch for...

I am trying to decide if a hardtop is worth putting on my 813, and part of the debate is finding one thats in great shape and fits. I did locate this on the internet, but I don't know if this particular top fits the 813. Would anyone here have experience with this, and the cross reference...

I am trying to mount 14.00R20 tires on the 2-piece HEMTT wheels (see the wheel below) and for the life of me, can't get the O Ring to stay in place. It almost seems as though it is 1/2" to large. I put grease in the groove to holding until the rim pieces are bolted together and I still get...

I'm looking to re-paint my 813 and I have a question about the CARC paint: can regular civi paint be applied over the CARC olive drab? If so, which kind is recommended - not so much the brand name, but the type - I thought that I saw alyklid enamle can not be applied over the CARC. I'd rather...

Are the M939 front lift shackles a fit for an M813 front shackle mounts? The info I have on the M939 shackle is that the pin is 1" diameter and 1.55" between the holes. I don't know the dimensions of the bracket eye on the M813. Any help is appreciated.

So far I have received my 1970 M813 (driven 622 miles from Ohio) and couldn't be happier. Matt (Vintageiron) has been a HUGE help with setting me straight on owning one of these trucks. Once it arrived, I was a bit concerned that I got in over my head, but I have since been talked down of the...

If the NHC-250 is shutdown by the Emergency Shut off switch, what's the trick to get restarting it? The pressure gage on the left of the steering wheel reads 0. The fuel primer pump doesn't seem to do much, should that feel like the pressure pump on a Coleman camping lantern?

Here's a dumb question from a newbie: do you or more like how do you, balance a set of 14.00R20's? Or is it not a big concern due to the weight of the MV and the speeds that it travels? Thank you for your help, trying to figure this out as I go without getting into a dangerous situation.

Any pointers on where to look online for new O Rings and valve stems for 2 piece combat wheels?

Okay, I bought my first M813 - it's a 1970 with dual wheels - how difficult is it to switch to the super singles? Will the 16.00R20 Michelin XZL tires fit with standard military 5-ton rims? Is there anything special that needs to be done other than changing the tire and wheel combo? Anything...

Hi, I have been reading posts on this site for a few weeks, I see there is a ton of information that I am just learning how to search through, and now I am a new member here. I am looking for some help and opinions regarding owning a bobbed M813 with the super singles. I am sure the purists...
