I recently purchased a mule (A4 according to the data plate) without a starter on it. I am planning on putting an electric starter on it and planned on using a modified VW starter I believe. Do you have to cut the old gear off the starter before you weld the new one on or do you use spacers to...
I have done my searches and can't quite find an answer. I just recently had the brakes fixed and I had a couple bad wheel cylinders. Now I have great pedal when I have no air pressure but the pedal goes to the floor when the air is working. I can still get them to lock up when the air is on...
I drove the sheriff's office HMMWV today and it seemed to run fine. Got home and shut it off. Went back outside later to run uptown and hit the switch. It turned over about one time and then just started ticking. The ticking is coming from the smart start box and the wait light flashes. Any...
I have an issue with the bobbed deuce. It runs forward great and shifts fine. No grinding going into any gear including reverse. But this thing does not want to go backwards. It started acting up as if the parking break would stick and it would not go backwards. I would put it in first bump...
I know this is a simple question but, where can I find the brass block that connects the rubber line to the wheel cylinder on the front end? I have looked everywhere I can find. I seem to have lost one in the process of rebuilding the brakes.
I have searched many threads and found nothing but learned a lot. Here is the stupid question of the day, "why don't they make a wheel adapter for the M37 to a HMMWV wheel?" Is it a safety issue? Is it just not possible? Just curious.
Our LEA has been awarded an uparmored HMMWV and it needs to come north eventually to IL. I can get it to the GA rally. Is anyone able to help on this adventure?
Thanks,
Hugh
Is there a way to wire a hmmwv for a 12v civvy trailer? The one I would be using is a xm1113, 1996. If so how. I would like to stay away from the converter boxes if at all possible. If not, I will make up some lights to attach to the trailer. Thanks.
I need your honest opinion on this one. We are considering the multicam pattern for one of our hmmwvs. What do you think? Pattern too big or too small? Thanks.
The 2 new hmmwv's are about 30 minutes out right now! I will post pics when they get here. I will have to get some pics of the tan one we currently have also.:jumpin:
Well the pink lady appears to be leaking from the Injector pump now. One of the leaks is where the housings meet I was told. So the question comes, is it something that can be rebuilt? Am I better off getting a rebuilt pump or a take-off from somebody? It has an LDT-465-1c in it. Any and...
Well we have figured out part of our problems and have found a new one. Inside the fuel tank is a set of baffles which is "spot welded" to the rest of the tank. They are both plastic. The baffles are no longer "welded" in place and just bounce around. Do I need them? How can I reattach them...
I am working on the sheriff's m1113 and have run into a problem. The batteries drain over night. I have disconnected the negative from both batteries to stop it but what is wrong? with the front battery hooked up as it should be and the neg off on the second battery, I can flip the start...
Could a clogged fuel filter cause the HMMWV to stall out when you brake or let up on the gas quickly? Got her started after purging the system. Looking to change the fuel filter next? Any other suggestions?
I just got the chance to play a little with the sheriff's dept new m1113. It looks to be in nice condition. I was not there when it was unloaded but they said it fired right up when jumped form one of the deuces. Drove around a little and died. Started up again then died after driving a...
Will a hmmwv fit on a uhaul trailer? I am trying to get a hmmwv home from NJ to IL and a guy is heading to NJ and will pull it home if I can rent a trailer. Any other sources would be great.
I thought I would put the feelers out now. I may need help picking up a HMMWV on Fort Dix. I am trying to arrange shipping but it may not work out. We have to pick it up by this Friday. They say it needs a jump to start but runs good. PM me if you can think of a something. Thanks in advance.
