Can someone tell me the size of the bolts holding the jerry can holder on the hydraulic pump and tank on the 5 ton wrecker(543/816)? I don't have one on my truck so I am going to fab up the bracket unless someone has one they are willing to part with. The TM has a diagram of the bracket but...
While out driving around I saw these truck for sale, here are a couple of shots of the M813A1 and an M37 for sale. Not a lot of restoration done on either except new tops and a coat of paint(as far as I can tell). I am going to check on the 5 ton price Monday, they want $9500 for the M37...
A couple of these were in the DRMO yard at Ft. Riley Kansas a few months ago, I don't know if they will move over to GL or some state agency will get them, but you may want to keep an eye on the GL auctions.

10 Wt. Motor Oil?
Where do you find 10 wt. motor oil, I have checked a couple of the local parts places, no 10 wt. I have my 90 wt. draining out now, I need something to replace it with, will regular power steering fluid hurt the system???

I have to agree, I had my M543A2 hauled the 1634 miles to AR and I am glad I did. A road trip would have been fun but the truck was not ready for that kind of extended trip, it was worth the $2200 for the peace of mind.

On a interview trip to TN I stopped in at a junk yard too grown over to pass up and found three Unimogs?, they were about the size of an M37 and in poor shape but there were three of them and the guy said he had never sold a part off of them, though when I asked about a price he "would have to...
I was looking through some of the paperwork that came with my M543A2 and found a "Diagram Stowage Location tools & Equipment". It has a line diagram of the truck from above with locations of all tools and equipment. The back of the laminated sheet has a list of all the issue tools and...
Pre- Filter housing
I have one on my M543 but it is hollow, no filter in it, just a large inlet cover! I can get a better shot if you need it.

Glad to see you in NWArkansas, can't have too many MV enthusiast. This is a pretty good time to be house buying, everything seems down from what it has been for the last ten years.

I will bring a couple of gen sets/light sets, but an electrical outlet would be good for some fans for sleeping under, it may still be toasty then. Do we have any idea of how many MV will be on site. I will be bring at least one and maybe two, but no wrecker this time, well maybe not anyway...
Surprise Box
I was really only bidding for the tow bar, the rest of the stuff is just gravey! They only showed one box open and it contained a torque wrench and some assorted tools. The second box will be a surprise. The light sets look pretty complete, I don't know what they pull amps wise...
