Just a thought , being as this MV was ABUSED !!! I think you should " POP the Top" off the transmission and have a peak inside . Just for piece of mind . It's a lot easier to do something with the unit on the ground . Hate to see you put everything back and find a bad gear .

I feel your pain , working by yourself , I am also a one man band . I think you are doing great , just take your time . I would think both pumps are the same , only real difference is the pickup . BTW , Man the PO really got INTO that thing ! wow , that is a LOT of damage , o-well , just drive...

Welcome , and so it starts , "THE GREEN ADDICTION" know you need a Military-vehicle:tank: to go along with your GENSET! BTW age is not a factor , some things just take longer ! LOL

Metro Industrial Supply LLC , they have a website , I believe they are out of Chicago , they have all the Esmet clevis ends for your wire rope . I just got a nice clevis for my new wire rope for my M37 . bob k

If he was looking for a DPF , your vehicle is short by a FEW YEARS , If he was looking for Catalytic converters he should probably go back to MICKY D's and flip a few burgers !

Miller or Hobart MIG welder , both made by the same company and pretty well supported . I would also recommend a MVP welder . 110 welder is really going to limit your ability to weld heavier gauge material . Like they said TSC with a sale or coupon , and use gas and not the FLUX coated wire ...

So in the process of of taking the A3 out of winter hibernation , I notice a REALLY loud noise coming from the front of the engine , I am thinking water pump , alternator , idler pulley ? So I start by taking off the serpentine belt and find the belt SPLIT down the middle I can't believe that...

I use a Air over hydraulic and carry a pad of 6X6 PT to form a base for the jack and don't forget the wheel chocks .

Man , that would be a hit at the Aberdeen MV show next week ! great job

I would also go with some bad grounds , you need good grounding for everything to work properly . I would check and clean all your ground connections . Check for a good ground between the engine and the frame/firewall .

Military Vehicles are like Harley's ,they mark their spot !!!!! :driver:

WOW , lots of questions , maybe I can answer a few as best as I can . Sure sound like you cooked the unit , but I would try a filter and fluid change first and get a trans. oil pressure gauge and check your pressures , and that will answer your one question . The rest of your questions come down...

Just a word of caution , IF you are getting coolant in the oil , do not drive the vehicle much if at all , NOTHING takes out engine bearings as fast as anti freeze diluted engine oil That coolant just takes the Babbitt right off the bearings like nothing else .

E trailer on line might have some brake parts , pretty common backing plate , Push come to shove you can buy a new COMPLETE backing plate from them .

Have you pressure tested the cooling system or check for combustion products in the cooling system ?

It is defiantly worth the trip .The ship and surrounding museum are something to see . Hard to believe something that BIG got moved by a HURRICANE ! I could use a SOUTHERN TRIP after this WINTER , and BTW , it's supposed to SNOW today , was 75 yesterday , go figure ! LOL

WOW , what nicely put together rig ! Lots of storage space accessible from the ground and the bed . How much will the jib pick up ? . Love the paint job , really nice MV , I don't want to even know what:goodjob: the TAB was ! LOL , bob k

That thing is just plain neat !!! Lots of room for beverages and some treats . Hey what a great build , thanks for the ride , enjoy , Bob K

What a great Idea !!!! you get a "ATTA BOY" on that one !! Did you thru BOLT it to the firewall and hood and what pistons did you use ? :beer:

Why not get a "in transit permit" from DMV and a set of magnetic tail lights and tow it home after you give it the once over . Picking it up from Drum ?
