Hey Jim, VERY NICE! I'll try to shoot some video of our out in the snow. Semper Fi KC

still on GSA down at Kennedy Space center as of 15 Jul 09

Check the avatar, it was a KW PLS or XM1074 prototype before it had been converted. It originally had super singles all around with split rims. We went with a more aggressive tread for winter weather. When we did the converstion, Aluminum was cheaper than steel bud rims by about $20.00 per rim...

I see that David was the only one in this post to mention POR-15. Used it along with the "Marine Clean", "Metal ReadY", POR, Primer, and POR paint itself. Expensive, but worked real well, actually prefered it after talking to our Welder. Only thing with it's sensitve to UV light and breaks down...

Lost ours due to Calcium Chloride from the Anti Ice...tried a Mack tank no go...try www.clarktruck.com they were great and fast, don't remember what we paid

Now that the snow is out of here, I'm attaching photos of a plow we bought here in the middle of last season. This is a "Housatonic Welding Co." plow sold thru SA McLean up in Limerick, ME. I gotta tell you it was a nice blade. It would replace or I mean mount up to a Fisher headset or even a...

You are on to something....ever consider the same concept for make-up kits. With some marketing, could be the best Christmas gift yet. Imagine giving this to Mother in Laws?

32+ hours plowing with an old Mack with a Quad Box and air assist steering gives about the same excitement. Dress for it...Sweat pants, sneakers or whatever. Don't forget, PLENTY OF WATER!, coffee is fine, but, push the water, you'll feel better. Good luck

Has anyone had issues with the new low sulfur diesel and water condensation issues in their tanks? No problems yet with the MV's we have, but, we've replaced a couple of fuel tanks on some trucks along with installing a poly lined tank on a Backhoe

Frank Camp Lejeune? I can remember getting pulled over with our MP Company (2nd FSSG)CUCV's and older M151's by the Roadmaster for not having up the "Troop Strap" Anyone know if the MP's still ask for the trip tickets for G.O.V's going off base? Kevin

Don't know about plowing with one myself, but, we use a M49 with two 24v pumps to spray Anti-Icing on the roadways. The Calcium is "Kicking the Snotties" out the the iron, but the system works...ever see the sun come out and mely snow at 3 a.m.?

Oh Yea...ran into that with our M923. Cummins Northeast, here in Massachusetts installed what is called a "High Idle Governor". We were experiencing no problem at idle when we installed a crane on the truck. However, when the "load" was placed on the Hydraulic system, the RPM would increase...

M1075, Nice Score with that one...same Driveline as the other?

Welcome Ed...hope you're enjoying the snow. Give me a shout later when you get a chance about manuals Kevin

Merlin, This is why the site is so useful....Thanks. When we got the truck from the Army Soldiers System Command in Natick Mass they mentioned it was tested at Natick for simulated air drops from a testing crane they had there. Everything mentioned on this thread ringss true for the units...

Thanks to all for the input on these trucks...got a local machine shop to "spray weld and recut the studs for our KW (which is in fact a Canadian C-520) Anyway we are up and running and awaiting snow. Also here are pics from a M923 We got from the State Surplus. This unit was an Air Force piece...

Sorry for the delay, I will check with the guy who did the frame work to see if its still in his yard. Again, it was the multi lift, had a solenoid issue and wasn't going to be used anyway by us. By all accounts it must have been a Canadian made KW. Glad to have found this site, when we slow...

My boss will try to work the disk and get what we can off it. I was wrong when I said 1984, The door plate gives a Man. date of Mar 86. Also the Motor is listed as NTC-400, tranny is HT7500DRD, and the GVW is 64,000. We didn't remove an axle, just dropped the shaft, unbolted the rears, slid them...

Went to get the disk out and its blank. We shortened the frame by about 4 feet. It was equipped with the UK made "Mutlilift", but had several solenoid issues and didn't retract half the time. The Platform was retro-fitted to fit another small roll-off truck we have. Our first hurdle was a PTO...

Am posting this with a little hesitation...Found this site this AM and was originally searhing for parts/info manuals for the KW PLS. Figured I would attempt to attach this photo of our KW we purchased on a State Surplus program. As you can tell we took some interest on doing it right. The truck...
