These trucks are kind of anomalous. It is not really a 1995, since they only made the A1s until 1987. 1995 is probably when it came through a rebuild from the USMC. I am actually surprised it was in CARNAC's database at all, but it's probably because it was re-purposed to the Army and that is...

That is awesome! Congratulations. I love to see old gasser 10-tons.

Well, my comment was not directed at you. I just quoted you because I was thinking the same thing. I was trying to make a point that the OP isn't fooling anybody by saying "I am looking at... They tell me it will not start... " The first thing I would have done (and did), if I was close to that...

I just wonder if anything else is missing from that very nice looking truck... (these posts really never cease to amaze and amuse me rofl)

But, does yours come with an operable wench??? Personally, I find a winch much more usable than a wench, but they are good for some things...especially when they operate properly. ;)

Tim, that looks great! Bringing it to Aberdeen this year?

Man, you might get the award for digging up the oldest thread of the week/month/year! Gee, technically, shouldn't this thread be moved to the modification/hot-rodding forum...??? :shock:

They probably screened it, thinking they would have some use for it, or they would flip it... :o They just made themselves a butt-load of money... They probably had no use for the other truck they were selling either.

Thanks, DH. I prefer facts much more than conjecture, so I do appreciate the effort. I might just try to measure mine and then swag-compare it to the specs of the M809 cover. I, too, suspect they have the same pattern/size.

Yes, I know. But, as with all other things military, that does not really mean that they won't interchange. They might have different thickness, rolled edges, etc... The M809 cover NSN details call out all of the vital measurements/dimensions, while the M939 does not. At least, not that I could...

Does anyone know if the PTO cover plate from an M809 transmission is the same size and bolt pattern as the one on the Allison MT654 in the M939 trucks? Without looking, I think they are both 6-bolt, and I assume they would be some SAE standard size. But, you know what happens when you ASSume...

Looks a little too short. A tank on the passenger side. Looks more like a M52 with a deuce bed on it.

I believe that is "Oshkosh plow" yellow. Most of the plow/blower trucks were that color, from what I have seen.

Which TM did you look in? The -24 manuals are the Unit, Direct Support and General Support Maintenance manual for the M939 trucks. TM 9-2320-272-24-2 has the answer in the Tire and wheel maintenance section on page 3-634 (page 28 of the PDF). It says 210-240 lb-ft. That sounds a bit low to me...

Trust me, I get it. The problem is that this thread will fall off the bottom of the list by next week and the cycle will start all over again, because it is "quicker" to ask the question than to try and search, or to know where to find the information. I've been around long enough to see it...

Teach a man to fish...

:funny:

At least I linked to where he could find the data... Man, John, way to make it EASY...:-P

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?79228-TM-s-for-the-939-series-trucks The -10 operator's manual has this data, as well as all other important operating information. If you are considering buying one, consider this a must read.

Why not just add a winch???
