Got the PM, checked the link, you are correct Sir. The seller may have had issues with the CAT transmission and done a transplant rather than attempting a repair or putting another CAT transmission back in.
One idea that I'm kicking around to make manuvering easier is to put a pintle hitch on the front of the M927. It would be a lot easier to back it up if you were looking at it. I was told that some units that had vehicles like that and other dolly type vehicles always had at least one truck set...
You may be mistaking the Jake Brake actuating pedel with a clutch pedal. I've never seen a military M915/916 or other 900 models with a manual transmission.
When I pulled mine back from Redstone it tracked like it was on rails. Even taking it over rough terrain to get it to it's parking place it was not bad......rocked a little but made no effort to turn turtle.
Are the holes so big you can't put tubes in them? I remember a few years back that DRMO would drill big holes in new tires before selling them surplus. I think taxpayers made a stink about it (or maybe the folks that buy surplus tires) and had the practice stopped. I'd check the code on the...
The "trailers" of the MK48's are interchangable and can be dropped. The FPU can be driven around by itself. That is not a job for the faint of heart without the "landing gear" attachment that keeps it from nosing over if you hit the brakes too hard.
If you have the pintle hitch attachment the...
We have a couple of members that have access to data bases that may or may not be restricted. Maybe one of them can PM you and assist.
My guess is that the longer it has been out of the system the harder it's going to be to identify.
I traded my bobber for a tank truck that came out of south Florida...it was a rust bucket and I ended up scrapping it. After I cut all the carbon steel off of it I got about 600 bucks for the stainless steel tank.
I agree that if you can keep it as a tanker and get another truck you would be...
I wore out a couple of deuces the two years I was over there (75-76) driving all over and being in two Reforger exercises. Maybe one day I'll get to go back for a short tour.
The short answer is it depends on how much time you have to work on one and if the GL site will let you do any work on their real estate. Some will, some won't. It is usually dependent on base policy not necessarily GL. They are very paranoid about fluid spills and usually won't let you do any...
Trust in God. Inspect with GL.
The most common lies in the universe:
The checks in the mail.
Of course I'm single. Trust me.
Ran when parked.
I promise I won't co...........
My last active duty unit was a Transportation Company that had HETT's and PLS trucks.
My personal opinion is that the HETT system was designed by an idiot after consulting with a focus group of morons.....or retired Transportaion Officers.
I got into a pissin contest with an OSHKOSH rep that...
