Why not source an ENDT-673? I'm not smart on the M123 series 10 tons but what I'm suggesting certainly is a Mack motor that would be somewhat period correct and I'm confident it could make it move down the road just fine.

I have T831's on my truck and think they are great. We are putting G177's on a friends truck. It's quite a project as they are mounted on 5 ton wheels so we're having to demount 20 tires in order to install 10. Anyhow, I consider those two in the same category. I think the G177's have more...

In the field, we do the best we can. In private hands, a air powered impact is nice. We just did a tire change on an M923. We broke the top of a budd nut off with a 1" impact and had to call in some "experts". Sometimes they are put on there "that good". We did break a brand new manual...

I've got a friends truck in the front yard right now. RRAD tags, 2X,XXX showing but 13 hours on the tach and the drivetrain concurs. I know he has not been to a pressure washer with it. I'd have to say he scored a practically new truck. I think you'll see alot of them like it in the near future.

I've got an M923 hanging out in the front yard that can't keep up with a turned up Deuce. The M923 is now on 14's, the Deuce is on 11's, what fuel button does the group recommend? The 923 is strong and can blow by the Deuce once rolling, he just needs a little low end help. The 923 has never...

I like the idea of a 12V slave receptacle on the front. My HMMWV at work has one and a pair of hacked up slave cables with automotive style clips on the end. Really comes in handy for slaving off forklifts, container stackers, Buffalo MRAP's (who are primarily 12V) and air compressors. We did...

yes, when the points are closed as they are most of the time they ground the negative terminal of the ignition coil. The positive side should have voltage whenever the truck is switched on. When the points open, they disconnect the ground loop. This causes the voltage in the secondary...

Had a nice time today. Lee drove the CUCV, Atomic drove my Deuce and I drove Riddle's M923 now A1. Afterwards we had a great lunch at Riverfront BBQ. Absolutely incredible turnout for my small town and who knows how many pictures were taken but the trucks were an absolute hit. I'll do it...

We should have better photo's up tomorrow. Here's the line up.

Riddle got a tire repairer out today to remove the broken budd nut and the two remaining stuck ones. Truck is complete. We did have to pull the fronts back off to tighten the schrader valves on the back side of the stem as they were leaking. Now ready for the Leesburg Christmas Parade along...

I've been told the 250 will handle 50 percent in warmer climates like we have in GA. Can't speak for MD. I have a stranded M818 in my yard that is likely on 80 percent at this point. She is more hesitant to start now but runs fine once started.

Raise hood, go to drivers side of motor, push solenoid in and rotate throttle clockwise. Truck should start now. I've seen bad solenoids straight out of the box, if it remains stuck out when you turn the ignition on, check your wiring and repair as needed. Let us know. I've seen this many...

It's not that bad and I'm happy to hear someone has some black ones. I'd hate to spray paint some off color ones only to have it dry out the silicone.

Well played sir! The oil that is delivered to the base I work at is Rotella 15W40 and if it's good enough for them, I'll run the same. I've never heard anything bad about it and I run Diesel Oil in my older Non Catalytic Converter equipped vehicles as well as I've read it has higher sulfer...

3DAngus, Atomic said the "Starboard" side looks good. The "Port" side needs some work currently but we'll get it there.

We recently put new silicone boots on Atomic's Deuce. I like them, just wish they made them black. Of course with a solid boot, you have to tear the axle apart. We did that and confirmed his king pin bushings are in good shape. It's a bit of a job but if you're patient, it can be done.

Had a great time with my friends Atomic and Riddle today. Riddle got this wild idea that his M923 needed to be an A1. After some horsetrading, he came up with some 14's that were not mounted on rims but he came up with those to. Anyhow, he left the wheels and tires with me to mount. I took...

Disconnect the negative wire coming from the distributor to the coil. Attach the alligator clip from your test light. Probe the positive lead of the coil. Have someone turn the motor over, the light should pulse. If the light pulses and you have power to the coil, you have a bad coil. If...

Great addition G. The Deuce trans is old school, you can shift without a clutch if you know how to do it correctly. The only time I use the clutch is for stopping and starting. It actually goes through the gears much better that way.

I'll go with rosco's explanation and I'll explain why. The M105's brakes are matched to the truck's braking system. I recently pulled an MK14 trailer home and of course, had the air lines hooked up. I barely had to use any brake pedal at all compared to normal unhooked driving. The trailer...
