    Value of GovPlanet inspection reports

    GovPlanet...Bought a M923A1 out of Chambersburg, PA last month for $5400. Clean with low time and hours.It was advertised as having a turbo. I bid anyway. Sure enough there was no turbo when it was picked up. I pointed out the listing error and they offered $1500 compensation. duh! I took it and...

    Mep003 no voltage

    Check the ground wires...There is a ground underneath the controller box. It rusts easily.

    M116a2 Question

    it requires a "Z" shaped crank with a small open notch on one end. the "T" shaped insert on the landing leg is located on the driver's side of the leg. once the truck and trailer are connected, raise the leg by cranking the leg up sufficiently until it can be folded backwards after having pulled...

    24.5 or 22.5 wheels on M818

    I personally would not mix different size tires on the same truck. You run the risk of screwing up your transfer case and transmission. You can get away with a mix of tire sizes on the front vs the rear if you are always in rear wheel drive. Adding front wheel drive to the mix can be a problem.

    Anyone have info on the M32K-4A?

    Nice set up and especially for the M1009 as there is no tongue weight on the truck. Plus, the trailer is aluminum.

    Anyone have info on the M32K-4A?

    Given the price of aluminum, the scrap price of a unit without tires is about $350.

    Spatial Separation - CLOSE CALL? Impending MIDAIR COLLISION?

    At the altitude that you picture, the aircraft are both flying at "pressure altitudes" meaning they set their altimeters to 29.96 as they climb through 18,000 feet. Altitude separation should be a minimum of 4,000 feet above 29,000. Given the different direction of travel based on magnetic...

    Slave cable powered tools?

    I have three of the 3/4 Robo impacts. I keep them spread out among the vehicles. When you need them, they work. I've changed trailer tires, CUCVs, and Deuce tires with them. I have no complaints. However, I would never use them but for short periods and definitely not as a daily tool.

    New here...already in deep

    I purchased ratty bolster trailers (M796A1)with the tires flat or damaged. I discarded the rubber, kept the rims, and usually got about $400 from the junkman. I rarely paid more than $375-400 at auction and the bolster yields four rims. I pay $214 a tire plus tube ($50)and mounting from my local...

    New here...already in deep

    Here is a trick for changing up an M105 to a great well balanced trailer. Remove the 9 x 20 tires and install 12.5 x 16 tires from a m796 bolster trailer or an M1061 5-ton trailer. Even better, start with an M105A3 version and you get surge brakes. Lose the weight, keep the rugged construction...

    Replacing Spring Brake Diaphragms

    I replaced diaphragms on my M923 one at a time on the front rear axle. Each time I fixed one, another would go within a week or so. Frustrating! Northern Virginia Fleet supply had the complete cans for $250 each but the diaphragms were only $6.70 each. I finally purchased a couple of Haldex...

    Electric Winch Install

    Here is your winch installed on my M35A3. I have one on my M932 tractor also. The installation difference is slight. The A3 hood hinges under the windscreen and the M931 hinges at the front of the engine. The 931 had a latching mechanism on the bumper. I moved the latching hook and shorten the...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Last summer, I removed the singles, flipped the hubs, inspected and serviced the axles, and mounted new Firestone 831 11 x 20 tires. In the fall, the truck was taken to metal, primed, and given three coats of the current OD green. I just finished mounting the 24-volt, 18,000 lb. heavy duty Warn...

    Best Lift Kit for m1009?

    I did not lift. I changed the stock rims from 6.5 to 10 inches and mounted Mickey Thompson 285-85R16 Baja Claws and installed Firestone Ride-Rite rear spring lifts. I am higher off the ground without all the cutting, trimming, and moving steering and other devices around. Plus, I still have true...
