Guys, thanks for all of your posts. I was interested in the trailer it because of its uniqueness. If any of you have been to the rally at Aberdeen over the last several years there has been a group of German re-enactors that displayed and used a WWII MKT unit over the weekend of the show; I...
Anyone recognize this mobile kitchen type trailer? It appears to be a Soviet Block unit as everything on the data tag is spelled in syllables. It looks like there are 2 gas burners set in the body for the heat source. I have a chance on acquiring it but I don't know anything about it or what it...
I had a friend of mine rebuilt a TH 400 for my 1009, I furnished to him a HUMV transmission to use as the donor rebuild so I could still use my aging transmission until the work was done. He told me that the transmission that I had furnished did not have a "parking praw" to allow the...
Warthog, thanks for your generous offer. The cross members are broken in half, I didn't remove the canvas to check on the verticals; I'll have a look tomorrow.
Thanks,
Tom
Hey guys, for the last several years I have had the honor to drive Veterans in my Deuce in our local Memorial Day parade in Westminster, MD. Up until today, I was planning to again serve our veterans by driving them in our parade, unfortunately, I won't have the repairs completed that are...
These WWII trucks are really getting hard to find. If you have the place to store it indoors, it would be a great piece to restore. I had a chance to pick one up back in the 80's, it had a small crane mounted on the frame. I had no extra cash at the time and the guy would not work with me; he...
Looks like an early CJ5. It has the cut out for the snorkel on the hood, no BO markers, no mil dash components, fuel cap and cut out are CJ style. It may have been purchased by the military as some CJ's were but it is not an M series jeep. Check the serial # and post it when you have time. Nice...
Jimmy, I know the M37 at your station, I always see it at the antique engine show every year. If it ever goes up for sale you should try to work something out with your department to acquire it; it's a great piece. I'm 20 minutes from you in Manchester, PM me I may be able to help you get...
You don't want to continue to drive the vehicle until you correct the overcharging issue; excess Hydrogen gas could cause an explosion or at least a very noxious and unpleasant odor in the cab. Batteries can explode if overheated to an extent that the Hydrogen gas finds an ignition source and...
As stated in the link using home heating oil in military diesel gensets , HHO and off road can be different in sulfur content depending on location. My local supplier in PA sells HHO that is still the high sulphur content; the off road is ultra low sulfur. I choose to use the HHO in my gen sets...
I have an old 1950's vintage military Gen set (flat head Willy,s, don't know the #) that would not produce any voltage after sitting for years before I picked it up; it would not produce any operating voltage. I took 4 old ceramic speaker magnets and set them evenly spaced on the generator head...
Every 5 ton truck that I have had problems with involved air being sucked into the system through unnoticeable loose connections, most of which were at the tank selector valve. When ever I go to pick up a truck I'll bring hose clamps and extra fuel line with me; I'll bypass the existing fuel...
I agree with the others, you are sucking air. If your hoses are still good put stainless steel hose clamps on each of the fittings, the OEM connections fail after 30 years and will allow air into the system even though the connection appears to be fine. The fuel selection valve is easy to...
