    Do you know anything about the heaters? I now have possession of said trailer and the heaters are there, not much else though. A bunch of empty shelves and cobwebs.

    m931a2 recovery from Sparta WI.

    Thanks. Everything went fine in Sparta, truck fired right up, only a few minor leaks so far. Recovery of the m295a1 trailer in Minot was a nightmare however.

    m925a1

    Was wondering about that if they expanded. Any idea what size the generators were? Any info available on camper conversion? Google is coming up empty. I am thinking the van would be perfect for storing my spare parts and use the chasis for hauling scrap and stuff around the farm.

    m925a1

    m295a1 Does anybody know what the m925a1 trailer was used for by the army? There is one for sale, pics don't reveal a whole lot other than the inside appears to have shelves running down both sides with not much walk space. Did they have generators mounted on them?

    Starting Canister on Firewall, Quick Start

    Back then starting a big diesel engine took some actual skill and ability! My 923 simply will not start at 0 degrees farenheit without outside heat source and even then with a block heater requires a little "smelling salt" to assist if its colder than 0

    Starting Canister on Firewall, Quick Start

    TMs can be very helpful. I replaced belts in my truck with no TM as well as many other repairs. It all depends on one's ability and knowledge of trucks.

    Starting Canister on Firewall, Quick Start

    Block heater is better but even in winter when it's 0 or colder it might need ether. My m923 needs ether if its below freezing and needs more than one quick shot. The ether system on this truck only injects fluid if engine is cranking, switch has to be in crank position to energize the ether...

    Installing FMTV Wheels on a M936

    Valve stems is a non issue, they can be turned around. Buying another set of wheels isn't an option so I am looking for a machine shop that can bevel the holes

    Installing FMTV Wheels on a M936

    I am assumimg the original FMTV wheels were made to also be used on M939's and some of the newer FMTV wheels were not made thus, perhaps due to different manufacturer.

    Installing FMTV Wheels on a M936

    They are steel wheels, correct bolt pattern for M939's, but only beveled on front lug holes. Can't post pics today for some reason.
