I was wondering how many 5 tons owned by members in the forums are still running the 6602 engines. How are the trucks used?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
.Anyone ever find a copy of TM 9.2815-207-35?
Portrayal press has it for $49 on the their websiteWe have that one, the -207 would be a great find.
We are re-furbing an M62, has the 6602 in it and, as far as I can tell, still runs solid. I'll know more after it gets done. It drove to the shop under its own power.
@swiss , you ever had to do the hydraulic lines from the pump up through the center to the slip ring?
I went through and painted my 816 in 2022 and did the m-62 in 2023 they kinda look alike when quickly going through pictures to post from my phone. I love the way the m-62 runs and sounds we got it from military auction in 1996 or so when I was about 15 and about 15 years ago it started getting water in the oil, sat for 10+ years looked like it was going to get scrapped until I just happened to look on eBay and found a 6602 from sam Werner in Akron. Used the 816 to do the swap and breathed new life into the truck.I thought it was an M-816. But have never seen the M-62. When I got to my unit in 73, I never had anything to do with a wrecker until a few years later. By then it was the M816. That one, I used a lots over the years.
