    Army Bob is dead - Temporarily

    Well, you won't be seeing Army Bob out and about this summer. It apparently was more than an IP...multi fuel is down and soon going to be out. Okay - I've searched and searched and everyone talks about the 6V92 Detroit being put into the Deuces. I cannot find who actually has done so. We...

    IP install = hard start, surging idle - ideas?

    Mr Gimli installed the new IP (gosh whatta pain!) and now Army Bob is hard to start and surges at idle. Mr G believes from other posts here that the culprit is air in the injection system. No one really goes into detail of how to bleed that air out of the system. I know someone out there...

    Oh, no - Army Bob is letting us down?

    Had a blast at Tower Park (thanks for another great event!) but when we got home, ol Army Bob had gained a considerable amount of oil. **sigh** The FDC was militarily (is that a word?) bypassed. Bummer. ** another sigh ** After reading all possible threads and checking out all that can be...

    Rocker Arm Support bolt Torque Specs?

    Sheared a bolt on a rocker arm, which then caused the rocker arm shaft to break. Nice! Happened over Thanksgiving in Death Valley, Calif. I sat with Army Bob in a campground for a couple days while Mr. Gimli bummed a ride home to start getting parts.* At least I was comfortable.... That...

    m715 questions

    Well, we are officially addicted to MVs now. I guess Army Bob is not enough, because Mr. Gimli has spied what he believes is the cilivian version of M 715 in our neighbor's back yard. It runs, kinda. He used to haul garbage with it, but it has sat for several months now. A couple questions...

    Extreme Expedition Vehicle

    After looking at the 109's for possible RV conversions, we decided to make our own!! This allowed us to run all wiring, plumbing and etc within the walls, easily hidden. We purchased an awesome 35A2 from Rueb aka bigelk50 in Oregon last fall and brought it into our steel fabrication shop and...

    Top speed / tire size

    Hi everyone, I'm interested in getting a m818 but I'm curious what it's hiway speed is. And what's the difference between Posted and what it really can do? Also, what's the standard tire size on these big guys? Do they usually have a cab heater. Yes I am a newbie to these machines and would...
