I recently invested in 20 laser cut pairs of the tilt brackets. $100 shipped to your door. Help me clear out inventory!

In addition to wheel chocks, you could anchor it to another vehicle with a tow strap. in 6h gear at close to idle, it *should* stall the engine if it falls off.

I know you have been around here a bit, so you are aware the boom is over center, correct? You have to pull it up, then as it hits the peak, reverse the lever and it drops right on. I agree, it is a bit concerning doing it right towards your face, but it works.

Cleanliness is everything on this end of the fuel system. When it comes time to reinstall the gear to the pump, the manual states something like 240ftlbs. This is way wrong. Ask your rebuilder for the correct torque. Let me know if you follow the book procedure of timing the new pump. I'm...

Pull the drain plugs to check for water in your gearboxes and check your clutch drain plug is removed.

Since you are new to this, are you aware of proper procedures for fording 2ft of water? It should be considered for emergencies, not a Sunday joy ride. If you want to play in the water, buy a boat. Have you checked for water in your wheel bearings? Have you checked for water in your...

It is a return line. It t's into the fuel line from the tank, using a special 6-4-6 nylon t that I could not find in the US(Belmetric did not have). I ordered 5 from Europe. PM me if you want one for $8.

Glad you have found a solution that works for you. Many others have similar abilities to hold air pressure while maintaining full features, just by fixing air leaks. I have found the turning radius in 4wd with lockers engaged is reduced due to binding on packed dirt and grass. Also ensure you...

This, being something the average person can't test, and can't tell a difference from, is ripe for snake oil. Generally the ones claiming a need for lubricity are people selling said lubricity additive. Meanwhile, the ASTM specifications for diesel have a lubricity level that must be in the...

You must not have priced that silicone shifter boot cover.... I was thinking of this the other day. Mog #1 had that seal replaced with a piece of rubber belting with 2 holes cut.

I have one of the elusive MB4/94 3pts. Need to rebuild it. My plan was to add a second set of quick connects tee'd into the loader valves at the back of the cab. Then the controls in the cab would run the 3pt. I have looked at the hydraulic pto. At 26gpm and 3000psi, it would be something like...

Ah grasshopper, you have 45 hours. The engine hourmeter is not in decimals. Welcome to the club. My parts mog had 31 hours after an 03 recap. Shame the trans was toast.

Good advice as always. I have been able to get the hood open with a 1/4" ratchet and extension, but it is loose and causes excessive force on the pot-metal, which will cause them to crack! The Hood wrench also works for the battery boxes and I highly recommend it. I drilled a hole through it...

Putting in a New starter is your choice, but I got my starter rebuilt with a new solenoid and new gear for $70. Even though it was 24V, local starter repair shop had the parts on the shelf and finished it in 2 days. I did it through that access panel and engine cover. Not too bad of a job...

Yes, that is the article. The military made some compromises in order to minimize fluids stocked. Perhaps this is the reason the military was putting synchro in the trans yearly as Peakbagger's mechanic mentioned.

Hey rtrask. I see you are planning on 2.5 gallons of gear oil. I take that to mean you plan to do transmission oil as well. They use different fluids. With brass synchro sin the trans, it requires a GL4 or lower lube while the portals require a gl5. There is a good discussion on benzworld as...

I know you love your bias ply tires, but I can't get over the weight rating issue. I don't want to experience a blowout at speed, so I will be looking for something with a better rating.

Further confusing me is that a certain auction site has new 12.5R20 XL's listed with a load capacity of 8820 lbs. These have a sidewall stamp in the photos of 132G, corresponding to 2000kg and 56 mph, so maybe that seller is just full of BS. A Michelin brochure posted on benzworld lists the...

All michelins on Mogs #1&2 are 4410 lbs single at 50PSI. Mog #3 has Michelins at 4400lbs single at 50 psi.

Yeah, I suspected that when I first got the MOG. Now confirmed. It is notable that adding an operator would push the LF overloaded as well. Hence my desire to change to 365/80R20's My Sand Trails are even worse. I can't find weight ratings anywhere, but they are "10ply rated" whereas the...
