    M51 Drag Link Parts

    I took apart the drag link on my M51 dump truck and discovered that one end is missing some of the internal parts. Anyone have an idea where I might find a drag link rebuild kit. I've searched around on the internet but have been unable to find anything other than buying a used drag link to...

    Steering Problem on M51A2

    I am having a steering problem with my M51A2. Here is what I have discovered so far. With the front wheels off the ground and the engine not running, I am able to turn the steering wheel to the left just over 1 3/4 turns at which time the left wheel hits its mechanical stop. I can only turn the...

    Has anyone here converted a M51 series truck from the old style power steering that it originally came with to the newer M800 series power steering box? How difficult of a job is it?

    Does anyone know if there is a rebuild kit available for the Ross steering gear in my M51? I'm having some problems with it and think I may need a rebuild. If it is not available where should I look for a new steering unit?

    Ford Tractor Airplane Tug

    My neighbor recently obtained a Ford tractor airplane tug and would like to know more about it. The data plate inside says it is a model 21201-77 made in 1964. The engine block also has that number stamped into it. On the side of the hood it says 64D 555. Right now the engine is froze up but he...

    Help Identify This Light Tower

    I am looking for help in identifying this light tower. It looks to be military but has no data plates anywhere. The generator is an Onan diesel. I believe the model is a 6.0 JE. I can't find any info on it either. I am trying to get it running but can't figure out if it is 12 volt or 24 volt. I...

    460 CES Power Pro LC-1

    My fire department was just given a generator/lightower from the DNR. On the outside it is identified as a 460 CES Power Pro LC-1. It is painted army green but doesn't seem to have any of the usual military identification plates on it. It has a diesel Onan generator. The light tower has 4 large...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    I'm trying to get a MEP-005 running and am having problems with the fuel injection pump. There is fuel being delivered to the pump but it doesn't appear to be sending fuel to the injectors when I loosen a line to check. I have figured out there is an electric shutoff solenoid on the top of the...

    Torque Multiplying Lug Wrench

    Can someone explain to me how these operate? I've looked in TM's, done searches on here and scratched my head but I can't figure it out. By looking at it, it seems to want to hold the hex nut in place while rotating the square nut when I want to do just the opposite. I figure I'm doing something...

    Electric Horn and Air Horn

    I've asked this question before but never got an answer. One of my trucks has both an electric horn and an air horn. Only the air horn is wired now and works fine. Is the electric horn supposed to be wired in parallel to the air horn so they both sound at the same time or is it supposed to have...

    My New Trailer - What Is It?

    I just got this new trailer and am trying to figure it out. I have looked online and found something called a WHMR, Watercraft - High Mobility Reconnaissance. Maybe that's it. The propulsion system must have been classified because it is missing. The trailer looks to be a modified generator...

    Determining Make and Year

    I just picked up a new truck from GL but have no idea of make or year of manufacture for it. The data plate (it looks like a replacement) has the following: NSN 2320-00-077-1616 ID 04A-837710525-17745 Contract 06-70-C-0001 It looks like Carnac's thread is closed so what other options do I...

    Military vs. Civilian Air Brake Systems

    Do the air brakes on a military 5th wheel semi trailer work like a civilian system (air pressure disengages the brakes) or like the system for a M105 trailer (air pressure applies the brakes). Here is why I am asking - If I make a 5th wheel dolly trailer out of a M200 trailer, can I use it to...

    EUC Cleared but No Invoice

    The status of my EUC changed to "Customer Notified" on 2/18/09 but I haven't gotten any notification about my paid in full invoice. When I check the GL website for my invoice it isn't there either. Has anyone else had this happen to them where there is a wait for your invoice after the EUC clears?

    Michigan Trailer Registration

    Has anyone tried to register a trailer bought from GL in Michigan without paying for the SF-97? I'm wondering if some combination of the Paid In Full invoice and a VIN inspection from the local Sheriff's Dept would do the trick for me.

    Value of Sprag Transfer Cases

    I am soon going to find myself with a couple of exta sprag transfer cases. Are they worth anything to sell or do I have a couple of 500lb boat anchors?

    License Plate Location

    Just curious as to where everyone mounts their rear license plate on a deuce? I figured the tailgate would be a good place but didn't really want to drill holes in it.
