    Converted M39 of some kind

    That makes a lot on sense, it is covered with a fine dusty material that is NOT the local dirt. They are also just about to start paving.

    Converted M39 of some kind

    Im not sure what that box on the back was full of, but is looks to be designed to drive around spreading some kind of dry material from the hopper.

    Converted M39 of some kind

    Saw this at a construction site near my house. It apparently has been converted to some kind of construction vehicle. Anyone seen one of these before?

    Conflicting stories...

    Most T-400 trannys do indeed use a sprag. It is for the intermediate gear or 2nd gear. When the sprag goes out you will have no 2nd gear. Some T-400's made in the mid 80's don't use one. They use a roller bearing clutch instead. You can get rid of the sprag assembly and use the roller type...

    Political Messages on your MV

    Here's another "opinion" of mine. Free speech is a wonderful thing. But like anything else, use the freedom wisely and don't abuse it and turn it into a bad thing. Don't hide behind the law and use "free speech" as a tool to just act like an A** everywhere you go. Every man is judged by the...

    TH 400 forward gears give out

    The worst thing you can do to a transmission is NOT use it. The rubber parts and the friction surfaces dry out and deteriorate. The T-400 is one of the very strongest transmissions avaliable, but parts do dry up and rot like anything else. All automatics would be the same. I have a T-400 in...

    5 ton rear axle seal fix procedure

    My inner seal slides in and seats against a machined "step" in the axle housing. When the hub is installed, there is no place for the seal to go. It is firmly held against the machined surface.

    M35A2 un-insurable

    Please don't call American Family Insurance anymore. They have decided against insuring MVs and dropped me from their coverage.

    Has anone ever mounted a connex?

    Thanks! It doesn't have quite the hauling capacity of my 5 ton, but it does get 20mpg. And it is slightly quieter.

    Has anone ever mounted a connex?

    Yea, those are the exact things I was worried about. It looks like a 20 footer.

    Has anone ever mounted a connex?

    Has anyone ever mounted a connex on a 5 Ton truck? I found this cool connex at the base in Vancouver, WA. and it has been sitting there for years. What would be involved in fitting it to the back of the truck? Would it fit? Would it be stupid? I would look into buying it if it's possible...

    Bobbed Deuce/ HOA rules

    It's mainly to keep people from parking commercial trucks and semis in the neigborhoods. We have the same (CCRs). No HOA though. There are a few truck drivers in the 'hood and people don't want thier 50 foot long trucks parked everywhere. Nobody has ever said a word about my 5 ton in my...

    I'm pretty sure he is talking about rates weight class ratings for pick up trucks.

    5 ton rear axle seal fix procedure

    Good point, didn't think of that. I did pull the hub back out and check the seat, it looked good in my case. The TM from the Resource section says to use this method. But installing it in the hub is probably a better method, as long as you are careful with that heavy brake/hub assembly.

    5 ton rear axle seal fix procedure

    Hey you're all welcome. You guys have posted a lot of helpful information that I have used to fix my big green machine. Lease I could do.

    5 ton rear axle seal fix procedure

    Yes you could, but I didn't want to risk dragging the seal across the axle threads or messing it up some how. If you place it on the shaft first, it slides right into place with almost no effort.
