    M1009 rear tailgate glass, they supposed to go all the way down?

    It should go lower than that but it won't go all the way down. Probably less than 1/2" will stick up. Not the best design in my opinion.

    1951 m104 Trailer

    I got the lunette out since that needed to be flipped back up, removed the tailgates, and test fitted the m105 gate. That will work good after welding on some new brackets for the hooks, welding up the mystery squares and a couple other minor changes. After a bit of clean up the canvas covers...

    What does this knob do?

    I've read through quite a few of the TMs and never noticed it listed, I doubt it's in there. The seat also doesn't look right to me. Unless I'm seeing things funny it looks more like a box driver's seat but in the middle of the cab, definitely not a regular passenger seat.

    What does this knob do?

    I’ve never seen that on a deuce before, looks like an add on. What’s it connected to?

    1951 m104 Trailer

    Some more pictures. The bed actually does need a fair bit of welding which is to be expected I guess. The rear tailgate needs quite a bit of work too but I picked up an NOS m105 gate with it that at a glance looks the same with just a couple small changes needed. I also got a couple canvas...

    1951 m104 Trailer

    Mine were on a trailer that I bought from an SS member. I think Kublo's Surplus in PA was selling the wheels on ebay, not sure if they still are or not. They drop the trailer down quite a bit but they also stick out a few inches or so on either side.

    1951 m104 Trailer

    We finally went and picked this up yesterday. The wrecker set worked great to unload 7 Jeep engines sitting in the trailer. We put on bolster tires to drop it down and added some lights and longer safety chains. It towed great for the 350 mile trip. I'll get some more pics once it's unloaded...

    REO 331 oil

    I’d have to check the book to make sure but I believe it’s 9 quarts. It should be listed on a data plate on the right side of your dash.

    M808/ m818

    The predecessors were the m52 (6602 gas engine), m52a1 (673 Mack), and the m52a2 (multifuel). The replacements to the m818 were the m931/m932 along with the a1 and a2 versions which had either the 250 cummins or 8.3 cummins. None of them had jake brakes from the factory. People have added them...

    M808/ m818

    I'm not sure what an m808 is but the m818 did not have a Jake brake stock.

    Easy way to tell an M101a2 fron M101a3???

    Yes they're all interchangeable.

    Driver alternator belt tightening question

    If your alternator pulley is the right size then I’d just get a little bit shorter belt.

    How do I mount an M60 on my 1919 mount on my mule?

    You could buy an m142 cradle and use that, just make sure to get the right one as there is a long and short style.

    M54 gasser front end

    You can use de-splined front hubs if you do the air switch mod to the transfer case.

    What are these trucks exactly?

    The yellow trucks are GMC m211s. The red one is an m39 series 5 ton with what looks to be an m135 bed on the back. The GMCs are early 1950s, the 5 ton could be as well or just a little newer.

    Looking for Manufacturer Info

    All of the hydraulics would go with the subframe of the bed when it's removed. I'd bet either the bed got trashed or a previous owner moved it over to an m35a2 chassis. Some other clues that it's an m342a2 would be the air tanks will be outside the frame on the driver's side, the frame will be...
