What's the latest & greatest type of body filler that you guys have had success with? Back in the 60's we used Bondo. Even used some lead. Yes, lead. I have heard there are "lightweight", "epoxy", & maybe some others nowdays. Are they any better? Thanks, Eric CBVET

Thanks Kenny. Eric CBVET

A while back I asked if someone would explain what "lockers" or "Detroit lockers" are. Still wondering. And how do I find out if my M813A1 has them? Eric CBVET

I keep a new spare on hand, but mine nave all been quite rebuildable. Even the ones on the '52. Got kits from NAPA. Eric CBVET

Thanks Don. PM sent. Eric CBVET

So you're saying maybe I didn't let it slip "enough" for the front to engage? Eric CBVET

Just discovered the NSN for the throttle cable by Googleing the part number! NSN: 2590-00-197-1739 Eric CBVET

Don't know about the NSN, but according to the TM on SS the part number for the throttle cable is 11664388-1, & the gauge is #508A. Eric CBVET

No, I don't have a switch. But now I know what the air-venting noise I hear is. So is having an observer while climbing a steep slippery hill the only way to test the sprag? Eric CBVET

"If you have the air switch installed per the mwo to shut off the air to the xcase" I have no idea what this is or where it would be located. I thought that with a sprag, there is no "air shift". Please explain. Eric CBVET

It's a 5 ton M813A1, therefore Sprag. There is evidence of the rear wheels slipping on the wet foliage, but not the front. Is there an adjustment I should be checking? Thanks, Eric CBVET

Got a hill on my property we call Hummer Hill. (Now come on you guys, this is a military vehicle website. I'm talking about the AM General Hummer.) We named the hill, because guys from the Guard have brought Hummers over from time to time to see if they could climb the hill. They go right up...

Thanks Don, I'll try to find the number. Eric CBVET

I've made some good contacts for Deuce parts, but most of them don't have parts for my "new" M813A1. I currently need a hand throttle cable & housing, & the small pressure gauge for the primer pump. Anyone got extras, or know a good source? By the way, my wife drove the 5 ton for the first time...

Interesting, thanks. I never saw anything like that happen myself, as most of my service time was in VietNam & we took good care of the equipment there. But i can sure believe it happened. I'm hoping the guy I bought it from already found any problems & corrected them. But I WILL go over it...

Diesel in the South Bend Indiana area is at $3.45 a gallon today. Got to find more sources for WMO! I run it through a fine brass screen, a 100 micron filter & a 10 micron filter. Have run up to a 50/50 mix with diesel or gasoline. Haven't put a lot of miles on yet, but seems just fine in the...

Wow medlog! How did you figure that out? Fort Polk is where it was overhauled according to the tag. Guy I got it from bought it in 2005, but I don't know where he got it. Emmado- What's an equipment draw yard, & why do you say I should look it over REALLY well? Thanks guys! Eric CBVET

Asking again. Somebody ought to be familiar with these markings. Eric CBVET
