Nice find there Jeff. Looks quite similar (but smaller) than the Ward one... Hope to see you in '21. ATHS...... Howard. (Sterling to the UK Chris's mate in NY)

Trying to get the old 60 Series Detroit fired up... following fuel lines as I'm not getting any (looks like it's the 'diesel head '- water fuel separator diaphragm/piston pump failure) BUT, there are fuel lines going through the "STE/ICE Differential Switch". It is on the side of the frame rail...

Not Bii, but are part of the operators instructions.. "stored in the front locker" or similar words to that effect. I guess chocs are not on the A1's Bii as they have spring brakes, also why is it only the 'O' has a pry bar!

OK C-B, time to fess up/catch up/update etc. I have found an A1 (that FuzzyT decided to sell). So, have been rereading threads etc. The deck board clips - what was your source for these? and did you ever look closer at the rear outriggers for fabn details? I could work from the hole, but...

Yeah - just fit a cable lifter and read the bridge height signs!

Well, my 10c went like this... Not hauling commercially ~ no CDL - check Registered as historic ~ no CDL - check Own a farm (in NY) ~ no CDL - check.. ..... BUT, if I was going to a show and got pulled over by a LEO fresh out of the academy, with a career starting and the drive to show a...

Can't beat a winch on the back of your tractor for trailer recovery. I made a "key hole" plate to hook a shackle and winch line to the king pin. I had to move a 40' van trailer for a neighbour - trailer was set 2' below where I could get the back of the tractor to, so the winch and some 4"x4"s...

Next thing will try to find some 1.5" Highway Gothic stencils.....

I looked into the TO 36-1-3 you posted elsewhere that included changes up to May 1993, it does mention Black lusterless National Symbol when used when marking Camouflage pattern painted vehicles 3.71 b - I'll assume that goes for sand too. I don't know if there was mix n match with a newer...

Been studying TO 36-1-191 on USAF vehicle maintenance, chapters on vehicle markings and have this question for FORMER SERVING S/S members..... Markings generally lusterless black 2.39, HOWEVER the National Symbol for vehicles posted to overseas operations should display five pointed star in...

I have a couple of the large singles ones spare.

It's called a Whiffletree - spreads the lift of the crane hook out to the two lifting shackles on the front bumper for a suspended tow. Check the operating instructions in the TM. There are a ton of posts on it's use. The unique pins that go through the lifting shackles are like rocking horse...

I got Tan from Home Depot before - they have Gov codes so should trust the colour mix.. Looked fine on my M916A1. There is another thread with pics of the truck and paint can code...

Don't go too low - that would really pi55 me off!!!

Welcome from UpState NY... hopefully there will be a load of pics of your build - for what ever you are making! I have two trailers modified into other things - diesel tank for the farm and a generator/compressor combo. Go Hokies!! (our son is there)

WANTED - Good Pics/Dims or one to lend. Needing to source/fabricate rear outriggers #4, that are loose stored in the goose neck stowage locker.

... well as far as not destroying an M108, it's a fantastic thing, but as far as changing a 5 ton wrecker into a "troop carrier", it's gonna be heavier for start off - as a wrecker has a double frame to handle the disproportionate loading of the crane and it's use vs semi uniform loading of a...

Well first off - an M35 is a 2 & 1/2 ton truck, hence the nick name 'Deuce and a half'. There were some wrecker versions (M60, M108) but not too many survived. The M816 on the other hand is a 5 ton truck, much heavier all around. If you want advise on your conundrum, we'll need to know what...

Seeing as you are from North of the border, your "legality" requirements are a mystery to the rest of us (no offence Neighbours), so you'll have to enlighten us re reverse requirements. If absolutely necessary - you could put a simple contact switch on a bracket above the gearbox to pick up the...
