X at front of nomenclature indicates Experimental. MANY M747 are labeled as XM747. Some/many/all of these were then rated at 52.5ton.
Later apparently uprated to 60t as the M747. Physical changes?
Yeah blah blah blah blah. Anything they say is writ in stone "because we have the gubmint behind us". About the only internet outfit more incompetent than paypal.
Any idea what the NSN is for the FMTV wheel? Or other suitable 10 bolt wheel.
I need additional load/tire capacity on a M1022 dolly and thinking FMTV 395/85R20. Which is supposed to have a 10" wheel. M813/M1022 wheel I think is too narrow. FD project so I can get tires from DOD surplus...
I suggest you find a poor rural volunteer FD and give them the washer for properly cleaning their turn out gear. A commercial washer/extractor is the "School" standard but too expensive. You don't want to wash out the gunk from a modern structure fire in mom's Maytag. They don't need a dryer...
If a Yugo gets your job done, buy it. Then the 2nd time you have a job buy another. Those 3600rpm gas generators barely rise to the level of yuppie toys.
What you see is solid state global warming. Send me a SASE and I'll mail you some. 4" additional this morning.
Get chains for all tires. I'd run on all rear tires or none (not only partial). Chains make all the difference in the world in slick conditions. load/ballast in the bed.
Were are they going at Benning (have not been on post since 1986 so will have to Google Earth/map).
Still moronic to put a bunch of DAT stuff at the Benning School for Boys and Misguided Youth (Home of the Infantry).
Found the -34P at tpub.com You're right. Appears that you remove a cover/plate from the "backside" of the aircomp and install hyd pump (pump shaft engaging the compressor crank). Will have to chekc what flow required for 11ft hyd snowplow blade. Thanks for the info.
You misunderstand. Can get an M35A3 from DRMS for no cost. A std model no winch or if fortunate one of the few with winch. With winch then get an existing hyd system and don't have to install it.
Hyd pump is behind the air comp. You telling me that the M35A3 has a engine belt driven hyd...
Fill me in if I'm wrong. I looked at a M35A3 w/winch @ McCoy DRMO on Monday. It was a hydrulic. Looked like a std M35A2 winch which as I recall was PTO shaft driven.
Did Sam buy/rebuild M35A3 with Electric winch?
My interest - Need a snowplow for my small town. Thinking an M35A3 with...
Interesting find, all the photos of WWII large pontoons I remember seeing show inflatables. My guess is this is postwar.

I'm trying to get some Motorola 6gang radio charges from GSA surplus for my Fire Dept. 10ea are located at TSA at Anchorage airport. They say have to pickup/will not pack/ship. Typical TSA service.
Anyone in the area that might be willing to pickup and box (I will not promise no TSA strip...
