Quick question. I can see the electrical cable between vehicles. What I don't see is a set of safety chains. You did use safety chains didn't you?

If it were mine, I'd machine another set of bracket to install in front and behind the steering arm bracket. That way you would have to have a couple of parts fail before you would be out of action. I don't like welding on steering components unless you can anneal and re-heat treat after...

Pull the floor pan, then the top of the transmission. Get it over with since that's what going to happen to fix the forks. A little anti-saize on the bolts makes putting it back together a little easier.

The SF-97 costs $60 from Government Liquidation and anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months to obtain. Not sure what Ohio's sales taxes and titling fees are, but if he paid $2K for the truck and the taxes are 8%, he's going to owe $160 in taxes plus titling fees. He may also be...

The fees are what it's going to cost him to get the SF-97 and then have the vehicle titled in his name since the SF-97 can't be reassigned. In Maryland he would be considered a "curbstone dealer" (someone buying and selling vehicles without a license). Check out another seller or register...

Factory paint was alkyd enamel. It was probably TT-E-529. Your last question related to texture. Some of our painters painted the enamel just as rough as some of the CARC paint that everyone is used to seeing. If you take some MEK solvent on a Q-tip and rub an area that is not noticeable, if...

I've never seen an end gate on a M105 trailer Kenny. Would this gate be a front gate by chance? Plenty of M101 split rear gates. Am I more confused than normal?

Type 1 and type 2 are available in both specifications. After November, the Army Research Lab will no longer be issuing lot acceptance numbers for the type 1 product, and as such can't be used on government contracts since the qualified products list will no longer have the type listed. Here...

There are currently two specifications available for CARC paint. Mil-Dtl-53039 which is the single component version, which is solvent based. Mil-Dtl-64159 which is a plural component version which is water dispersible. Both versons will continue to be available for now, however in the...

I received E-mail from one of my paint suppliers, that CARC paint is being changed to discontinue the type 1 coating. What does this mean to you? CARC paint is manufactured to a couple of different "types". Type 1 uses silica or organic clay as flatteners. Type 2 uses polymeric beads as a...

I have two cables available if you need one. They are not NOS, but cables in decent condition. Both were removed from M796 bolster trailers. PM if interested.

There is a very good chance that your M1009 did not get CARC applied at the factory since CARC did not get it's first full scale application until 1988 or 1989. The choice of solvents is a non-starter as the mil-spec only gave you an allowance to use only one solvent, Mil-T-81772 type 1...

Have you looked into the cost of the Heli-Coil installation kit is? I use a fair amount of heli-coils in aerospace parts. I have unlimited access to various sizes of the taps, and hand wind install kits while at work, but at home, if I have a thread that gets boogered, unless I have a need for...

Get quotes from a couple of transportation companies for moving the truck from Columbus and then a second set of quotes for the move from Maryland and present them to Government Liquidation. It's in their court, they moved the vehicle so it should be up to them to pay the difference in...

Two items cause the brakes on the A3 trailers to drag. Check the adjustment of the brake shoes. When adjusted too tight they drag. Also my A3 has had the drums rust up a bit for lack of use and then dragged until I hit the brakes hard a couple of times. The second issue is the rollers that...

The lunette is the ring in the front of the trailer that the pintle attaches to. Unless you need to keep the lunette because you tow with a mil truck, dump it and convert to a 2 or 2 5/16 " ball assembly. It makes towing a lot smoother since there is less play on take-offs and stops.

You can keep your present lunette, but why? You'll change your mind when you see the price of the electro hydraulic unit. Trailer Parts Superstore - DEXTER Electric / Hydraulic Drum Brake Actuator #K71-650-00 Try this on for size. Trailer Parts Superstore - TITAN / DICO Model 60Z Lever...

Setting the frequency and voltage on the 003 is easy, as you can leave the controls set from the last time that the unit ran. The throttle cable only sets position of the injector pump unlike a carbureted engine. You need a couple of process timers with solenoids, one to start the pre-heat...

Not nice PB, but funny just the same.:nothingfunny:

No EUC for you! (said in my best Soup Nazi voice.)
