The computer on the Allison transmission has a lot of computing power (based on digging through an Allison TS2480EN [1998] I located), including the ability to run a bunch of stuff external to the transmission, including things like governors and engine brakes. With a fairly cursory review of...

From the Meritor RF-611 (front) cutsheets (attached from their website, I don't see a copyright notice on them), the available axle ratios are 6.14, 7.10 and 7.80. According the to TM9-2320-365-10 (M1078 LMTV operator), the MTVs use the 7.80 ratio. With the 2 to 1 bevel gears in the hubs, the...

Back at ranch.

Still at museum, should be running the tanks any time now. Then we will head back.

Not raining yet, at Mullins.

Yep, bathrooms in the old store building. Harvested rainwater so not drinkable, though. Pretty relaxed, if you forget it someone else probably has one you can borrow!

Plan for Saturday- sheriff's escort shows up about 8:15am, leave for Mullins about 8:30. At Mullins for open house at least until reenactment starts(1:30?). Then back to ranch to play on trails. Hopefully the rain holds off until we can play (the trails get muddy fast, and park rules say no...

Leaving downtown Houston now. If we come through Navasota at the right time, we will stop. Otherwise see you there!

I'm off today getting ready. Man, I hate changing front axle boots!

I'll see you all at the Park on Friday. My son and I are going to try and leave Houston (near downtown) early enough to miss the worst of the 290 outbound traffic, so no later then 3:00pm. If we get to B/CS too early I may try to stop at New Republic Brewing (hoping they have adopted the new...

Heading out from downtown now, if I miss you at Kroger, I'll head over to the pizza shack. Took longer then expected to wake the truck....

Some useful manuals (including a full non-broken version of the -10) and other downloads on this site - https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&mode=form&tab=core&id=714277931756192e43c048abd130dfa2&_cview=1 (A government solicitation for transmission rebuilds from 2011.)

The food grade hydraulic oils are all mainly water, with just a tiny bit of vegetable oil and lots of emulsifiers and detergents. They are not even remotely flammable. Are you sure the bio-degradable oil isn't something similar ? I'm not familiar with the current state of the art in hydraulic...

Usually NC would be +24V when the controller (really just a switch that actuates at a certain temperature) is below the set point (ie: switch is normally closed and conducting electricity) and then 0V when above the set point. The NO is the opposite, 0V below the setpoint (switch is normally...

The 5 ton -10 TM (at least the version I have) tells how to take the cover on and off, but nothing about rolling up the sides. Here is an excerpt from the Deuce -10.

Not that well, I've got one. 14ft 5ton bed vs. 12 ft deuce. Sides seem to be a little longer, but not that a big a deal, you can still use the tie down points. The ends end up hanging down past the tie down points. The reinforcement patches also end up in the wrong places for the bows. You can...

Fenders ? Mine had a terrible rattle at startup and idle, that went away once it warmed up, turned out it was a loose front fender. The cold idle on my truck is low (~500 RPM), once it warms up it is closer to 700 RPM. I guess there was some sort of resonance at the low idle.

Not quite what you are looking for, but maybe helpful - http://www.hnsa.org/doc/index.htm#guns has manuals for the 40mm guns and other WWII and Korean era guns and fire controls. These guys claim to have it- ($) http://www.military-info.com/mphoto/P112.htm Buy an earlier version (TM 9-616)...
