work smarter not harder ;)
i have a "little buddy" like that made by AME... Been a lifesaver with tractor, payloader, and grader tires.. in the fine print it says it's okay to use manual or power tools, but not an impact, although tempting as it is ! :D
i'm not a purist when it comes to what's in a battery box .. i don't even use the oem holdowns anymore, just wood , polyethelyne, or styrofoam blocking to keep them from moving around .. rough off-roading would be a different story though.. Thus for 30 years i've used any pair of good...
had a similar problem in the late-70s .. So I built up the drive cable end with (tin) solder then shaped it down to size, and greased the heck out of it .. It has lasted but it has not been run much all these years either
spent much of the afternoon cussing, fighting, struggling, bending, shaping, and welding the rear doors of the M49C(A2) thanks to an employee of PO who decided to either back the truck into something , or back something into the truck ..
there was no adrenaline-fueled excitement though.. the...
bet you are glad you tested it beforehand , and yeah, you are gonna feel things going a lot smoother doing it with the 5-ton...
Long ago before I owned MV's i towed my CJ5 with a Ramcharger and it didn't know it was there .. But one day the ramcharger lost oil pressure and i had tow it back...
Have had that situation on rare occasion with my M817 ... When I bought it, it had excessive (half-stroke) free travel on initial stroke but excellent braking so I left it alone.. The first time the hard-pedal happened i thought the problem may have been because I had to pump the pedal a...
So I take it that is how they were delivered, in stacks? Makes perfect sense. The top 1 or 2 layers of goats and mutts would be above sea level ;) :ROFLMAO:
Nothing more than the positioning of the existing OEM parts.
Referencing the M39-series 5-Ton gassers (M139, M51, M52, M54, M62 etc) , there are early-mid 1950's online gov't pictures featuring new gassers with upper-quadrant headlights.. This was quite surprising to me since I had previously...
Does your M62 have the "rear winch operation" tag riveted to the rear vertical plate of the bed, to the left of the winch? ..
Usually 3rd gear is adequate to run the rear winch and the winch tag indicates the requirement of having an operational governor system if used above 3rd gear... I...
you are likely thinking of George Moore's in Keeseville, south of Platts ... Always had a ton of 6x6 (and 4x4) M-series there.. I was born/raised on the VT side, and aside of an active engineer stint in Missouri, I split most my time between VT and NY .. Had bought stereo equip at PAFB PX a...
your engine is definitely red.. way more red than the 1964-74 "hemi orange" I spoke of, which is a striking dark orange shade .. Yours is very red on the cylinder head ... Somebody wanted that color or it was a rebuilder's discretion.. For a time in the 1950's-60s, fire-engine-red engines...
i believe your engine has been changed out ... as others have said here, the block number will tell all.. Orange engine paint is common under hoods of original mopar "muscle" between 1964 and 1974 .. Whoever rebuilt or installed your engine apparently liked the color
