    Never underestimate the power of physics on your 20k winch

    . Yes Sir! I remember those days. Back where diagramming sentences, proper structure, and a lot of "wasted time" was spent. My goal in school sure wasn't writing anything if I could help it... Funny how things change with time and age.

    Stuck Drag Link & Pitman Arm

    . The 4 bolts have 4 "cone shaped" pieces on the studs that hold that plate in place. Generally speaking, a generous love tap with a 3# hammer should cause those cones to move up the stud. Be gentle with a pair of pliers and wiggle them out. Try not to "booger" them up... The arm requires a...

    Never underestimate the power of physics on your 20k winch

    . All I can say is Wow. Skills and Logic won the day.

    My new hobby: Wood military vehicles

    . Wow!! That is really nice work. Great looking paint jobs too. You definitely have skills! If you have the time, it really might be worth your time to see what it might cost to sell a few. There is a LOT of detail there... There are some folks who would really like to have a small...

    MEP806B crank no start

    . Hi and Welcome! Has it ever run before for you? Sounds like you may have twisted wrenches on these before? Guessing that you know where to get the TM's (here, free download)? Guessing too that maybe it sat for a while - and maybe you got it at auction? You mentioned white smoke. Maybe it...

    New from WY

    . I have not purchased and imported a MV. I have moved printing equipment from Germany to America. We insured the shipping container to the point that had it fallen off the ship, we could have made a profit. I hired a rigger to move the press into the container and hauled it to the shipyard...

    New from WY

    . Welcome to the Outfit! There is definitely a process to get some things from certain countries imported. Other things and certain countries seem to be "off limits". I found a link that might help you. From the reading that I have done, having the properly licensed "Expediter" or importer /...

    Battery help w/ dump bed hydraulic pump, big sparks

    . Wow! Well that turns out to be good news. A pain in the anatomy, but at least you got it solved. That almost makes me wonder if having a spare solenoid would be useful since it controls the up and down function. THANKS for updating the post with the solution too!!

    Tow bar

    . Medium is heavier and stronger. Of course that means you have to hustle the thing into place when you need it. Retractable is "cute" but I don't want cute when a HMMWV is following me that closely :cool: You might want to spend a little time looking through the Towing TM. Links below...

    GovPlanet Humvee Arrival and Inspection

    . Agreed! Use just the Plain Green and add your own water as required.

    Battery help w/ dump bed hydraulic pump, big sparks

    . Any possibility that maybe you have a piece of wood or maybe a piece of rubber between the frame and the "base" of the dump frame? It's goofy as can be, but installing (for example) a line body onto a new truck - gets a stick of oak between the frame and the bed body. Makes it impossible to...

    HMMWV Tailgate Armor Panel

    . So... In other words if you feel the need to retreat - you should back up - rather than depending on the tailgate armor?

    GP MTVR cab parts

    . Well, the numbers that @simp5782 listed earlier and watching some parts being sold are definitely good (valid?). Good if you are selling. They can be good too if you need those parts - and you can't find them anywhere else. Oh, and by the way removing that stuff from a truck to sell it...

    GP MTVR cab parts

    . If the truck doesn't run - there really isn't a choice. Gotta move it, gotta cage the brakes. There are trucks that are marked DNR (Does Not Run) and they might or might not run. It didn't run in the yard where ever the truck was "sidelined". The ones that are tested and start and run are...

    New M1097R1 owner from Georgia

    . Looks to me like "you done good". At least you have a top and doors and a canvas for the back. Lots of the vehicles coming out of Georgia were missing doors, so you have a running start.

    BRDM-2 street legal.

    . Sounds really grand, but the California DMV is already having problems registering a HMMWV. I can't imagine that they are going to help you register a BRDM-2. Maybe you could register it in another state - but at some point in time - when you hit the road I can just imagine the CHiPs folks...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    . She is looking better and better... Really nice!

    Need advice/help to repair screw holes on front window frame.

    . That is how it works... Sometimes you just can't find it. Been there myself many times! That is why this place is such a good source of information. Glad to know that you already had the TM's too!

    Refreshing Gunny the thread.

    . Yes sir, and the heat will help on a cold wet day. Or if you get into any heavy breathing situation in the truck. :)

    . I see that Inspector Dog is verifying the quality of your new winch rope... :)
