My buyer bailed on me, :evil: I'd take $10k for my M49A2C. I wiss I could get my junk on GL's site. Did anyone get anything at Mechanicsburg? I ment to bid on the Cat tranny.

John's right up the road from me. The truck came from Mt Weather, the under ground White House. Last I heard he had it running and he bought the mate to the 5th wheel wrecker set up I got. It's been in the photo gallery for a while.

I was going to throw a relay at it but i figured if the gear sticks from rust so bad that he broke the end of a big screw driver trying to pry it out, there's probably something else going on. I think I'm going to have to pull the trans again and see if coolant is weeping from the freeze plug...
There was rust every where inside the bell housing but no where else. what drove me to pull the tranny was the throw-out shaft rusted up in the bell housing bearings. i must admit, i got lazy and did not drop the fly wheel because it looked so dry behind it. i've seen no collant leaks but he did...
I'm at my wits end on this one. My friends starter in his M35A2 keeps rusting up so that the starter gear won't slide on the shaft and move to the engaged position. I'm on my third starter in there and they all have done it. If he dosen't start the truck one a week the gear rusts to the shaft...
RE: Loaded M105
Yea, he was jockeying trailers around that way when i was there but low to the ground. i thought it was a neat trick. citizensoldier is worried about them being able to load his trailers onto a semi. i've got some 50% or better tires, if that'll help ya. winslow's usually got...

Tom left CMS years ago because the Korean lady was obviously driving it into the ground.
When Cummins pulled out and they became Commerical Military Systems it was down hill all the way.

RE: New 813
check the date stamped in the wheels, i've found that fairly accurate. i must have just missed you. there's another thread on the trailers up there. how did they get the trailer into the back of the truck?

The dude there is pretty cool but they are jammed full and i don't remember ever seeing a dock there. Someone was using a sweet M816 and a hi-reach fork but I think they were DRMO guys.

I've had good luck with my drill doctor

Idiot proof and fast. Also good advice on getting a machinist handbook.

I just came from picking up my two ammo trailers. The guy there has a pintle hitch on the front of the fork and he pushed them up onto my gooseneck. His fork is not quite big enough to pick them up sideways for loading. I will send the local towing guy's number as soon as i can put my hands on...
Yes Kenny, there's two blue boxes up there. I can't remember right now which does what job but they never work right. They were made by Sure-Power. I have a diagnostic manual from them. CUCVfan needs to jump in here. He's had his head much deeper into it. He has had some sucess getting the...
