the inspection date area on the nomenclature tag is often blank .. i would bet your entry is a rebuild date .. as HDN mentioned, the USA registration number (VIN) indicates it's a 1971 , and the tag also indicates the initial 4-year build contract for the manufacturer, which was awarded in...

pawet , i only have one question ... can i drive it? :D ........... after you, of course !

i have a crap-ton of green and red :ROFLMAO: .. only the best from both worlds (y)

oh, but that open-sideboard style is called a "stock trailer" .. but still can be used for horses and we can still rag on him ! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: i was a sucker for a horse lady ,, once ... she had up to a dozen at any time ... ugggggg ! it was only when i started showing up with...

I took advantage of that fact several years ago due to 120v present at the utility receptacle.. Had an evening field task requiring intermittent hole drilling with 15-minute pauses in between .. Yes the drill motor ran slower due to genny not even reaching 50cy output at an idle , but the slow...

i got tired of re-patching that pesky elbow, so last year when i had no time and no help a local heavy shop replaced everything behind the turbo on my commercial FLD120 .. bill was around $1200 .. the cost of parts was 3x more than the labor .. ouch .. at least the new donaldson muffler...

don't know of any cucv-type pumpers, but the local FD had an OEM military setup on a dodge M37-type.. It had a 300g pod of same design as the 600g fuel pods seen on 1950's-90's deuces and 5-tons .. i have mentioned it on SS before and still haven't come cross pics i took of it 40-50 years ago

Little Soldier-B's can stand up and reach places the rest of us can't ! .. Perfect for those catch-22 spots where we can't reach laying down and can't see it squatting or kneeling.. I have one of mine all this week and yep he's gonna get dirty ! :D (his gramma and mom ain't gonna see...

several years ago i pulled a 290 out of an M818 dump conversion that is (still) missing the cover plate on the side of the PT pump as well as the pivot shaft nut. .. It came from a different town than yours, but the 290 clearly was tinkered with .. I stuffed it in a commercial dump last year but...

for a long time i have done it to brake cables (civilian & mil) and hydraulic valve cables on heavy equip by stuffing one end into a funnel throat and sealing the joint with a piece of old innertube and hose clamps (rubber hose would work) .. Hang it up and pour bar & chain oil .. It can take...

yes, that was the only noticeable feature .. externally, the norway truck looked like any other M35A2 except it having M34-style rear wheels

happy easter ! yes, i noticed the nozzle holder is in the spot found on A2's .. but i will tell you there might have been a reason it got moved on the later trucks.. The location is a pain in the butt on the old M49C's , it's almost in the way .. Especially if your muddy boot slips on the...

keep in mind the radios are polarity-specific .. I built a power source adapter for my prick77 and certainly know better, but I was in a hurry to test it by quickly touching the power source leads to the input leads.. I did not mark my leads (bad dog!) , and apparently lost track of polarity in...

There should be about a vertical foot of open space between the bottom of the two end racks and the walkway portion of the deck .. Your model appears it is a bit too tight for the hose to curve underneath to lay along the top of the walkway.. Note: someone stole the (brass) nozzle and i have...

Yep! It's had that nickname as long as I remember !

back when i enlisted i chose army railroading, since it was the 1970's , northeastern roads were in decline and I couldn't hire on anywhere .. There were 3 generations of railroaders in the family and i wanted to be next.. I was thinking at the worst case the army would send me to west...

never seen/heard of one of these animals before .. an LDS in there would make it quite respectable, as if it isn't already with the OS tires and lockers etc !

liquid wrench has sure been around a long time .. i recall 2-pint rectangular squeeze cans and gallon refill cans sitting on a shelf in the area GLF/Agway in the 60's-70s.. Dad had a gallon can in the tool shed stamped 1954 .. I think today this product is made by same outfit as PB-Blaster i...

as long as none of the dump equipment is missing and the hoist pistons aren't bent or otherwise broke, all the rest will just keep you off the street corner for awhile .. Also, check the condition of the welds and crossmembers along the rear area of the bed above the hinges .. They are known...

did around 780 miles a day in various Stars during the 20-teens .. One was a 400 cummins, rest were kitty 4-1/4's and 550's. I hated the acerts .. The outfit's head mechanic had the 4-1/4's outperforming the acerts , but that's no surprise .. Tough trucks , 90% of the fleet ran daily on OW...
