Welcome to the outfit talex419 ! I don't own one, but those really are neat machines... Congratulations on your New-To-You FLU :cool:

. Say what? What did you say? Huh? :cool:

. That article and truck and trailer are really fabulous! I stole the pictures (with attribution)... They are just too good to not be part of the SS collection. SOURCE: Backward Glances: Military M-818 6x6 and Shop Trailer From the Vietnam Era Jim Allen (Writer) February 7, 2018 Motortrend.com...

. That is a FANTASTIC price! I would guess that anybody here would be happy to pay that money including transport and smile all the way home. I think you are more than likely right. A couple of kids and a wife - even with two people earning - can see a problem spending money on a "toy". We...

. That is a MASSIVE tree! Yes indeed... Having the tractor and grapple sure made life easier!

. Wow! Darkness makes it look almost evil. Nice pictures!

. Toothpaste works really well. Especially the old time Colgate - plain old white toothpaste in a tube. Not the jell stuff... The white paste.

. Hey, don't worry over the "rough". That is easy enough. When I started on my M-936, it looked okay. Not great by any stretch of the imagination but the more I worked on one side - the other side just got worse and worse. Chipped paint with scrapers, then upgraded to a big heavy wire brush...

. Well - Congratulations on your new-to you truck. Glad to hear that you found somebody to get it home. Maybe pop the hood and give us a round of pictures. Maybe we can help you figure out how to get her running. Can you tell us anything about what it? Did the truck run - and stop? Or has...

. Like every other business or government agency... There are a few people who know what to do and why - and the rest of them -are just a bunch of MORONS who don't know how and worst of all Don't Care Glad that you got yours done!

. I can't help but wonder if the linkage has anything to do with the problem. I have a completely different truck - and Low range would work just fine. Hi range wouldn't work until I adjusted and lubricated that linkage. Might be that a good shot of WD40 might solve the problem...

. Welcome to the outfit! You will really enjoy it when it arrives - and it will seem to take FOREVER for it to get here. :cool: Best we have to offer is the TM reading material. At least it will give your brain something to do until then. We are looking forward to some pictures. Especially...

. Agreed! Heck, I think we might have more than 7 in our little online group here ;-)

. Without me stirring the pot - Nicely said coachgeo ! This is a lot like samsung and their picture storing and backup software that is disappearing. My solution for that stupidity was to build and install my own NAS that I can connect to for that purpose.

. I have no real world experience with 500 gallon water or fuel tanks. Full or Empty is the way to go I am sure - to control sloshing. (We all know that isn't always possible though) Might be worth a search. The rough details are below. Baffle Balls Ball displaces 5oz and weighs only 0.25...

. Just remember that when you have it turned over for your pickup, there is a LOT of leverage against your hitch point. I wouldn't drag that trailer more than empty with your truck. I had one on my M-1088 and it was twice as beefy as the picture above. When I pulled the pins, they were bent...

. Good Deal... Experience will teach a body for sure!

. Congratulations on your New-To-You truck Adam! Welcome to the outfit too. I think that bed is going to be okay. Yeah, it may need some cleanup possibly but I definitely like the wheel cutouts. It makes you different and that isn't a bad thing. If it bugs you a lot, there is always somebody...

. So, I'm jealous. I keep looking for a HET, but I either have a wallet problem - or I am not looking hard enough. The only Detroits I have ever worked on were 8v92TT's and they weren't running anything but diesel. MY OPINION is that if that baby cranks up and runs, I would drive it with the...

. I wonder how many hundred times that has happened? Similar situation that was on a friend's car and the transmission dipstick on the GM TH-350 had a little goofy cover. It was tack welded at the factory and the weld had broken. Cap (dipstick cover) slid up the the "ring" where you pull it...
