lower quadrant headlights: was yours originally a gasser? if so, what builder? .. Been working on a database of gassers made by IHC, Mack, and Diamond-T

I will have to look at my M51 next time I am home to see if it has same setup you describe... The weird mount might just be an M62 thing but I can't help you with that because some fool in command somewhere in the 1970s decided my M62 should be re-motored with a multifuel .. Ugggg .. But I will...

I think he is still working on the mess he inherited on the winch ... If the museum yard is as congested as it looks in pics, he will need to find at least a dozen snatch blocks to string that mess out :ROFLMAO: ... He could use that Huey's mast as a bobbin, though ... rofl...

I have always used a good cleaning and then a spray silicone to bring them back .. It helps to PM them, shoot a little into the intake at least a couple times a year .. I concur with many that the all-plastic ones have mediocre to poor performance, and if you don't keep them lubed there might...

This situation can happen in any truck .. One of my commercial 1950's dumps would beep-beep-beeeeeeeep every time I made a left-hand turn :p (until i replaced the chafed column wire)

Ttallent13's link is $16 as well , for the 13" tube .. Add $4 for the 16" tube, therefore 20 bucks. .. How long is the one you saw on amazon for $16 ? 13-inch is not long enough for 5-ton tanks unless you expect to run out sooner and refill more often ;)

My M817 was rats-nested when obtained, hook bound tight, with busted shear pin.. I resorted to a 24" pipe wrench with pipe cheater and backed off the input coupler until it eventually turned easy.. Then inserted a new pin and pay out some more until I could release the winch hook from the...

my guess the following are Parker numbers but am not sure .. This batch was to adapt the main boom cylinder to "normal" hose fittings , but should get you into the correct ballpark of what you need to find for the hoist motor .. The Ermeto pipe adapters might be Adaptall brand, I don't recall ...

Haven't been into the MC on my M62 but yours is a 1950's IHC as well as mine.. On the commercial truck side of things in the 1950's, IHC (and many others) used lockheed-wagner brake parts exclusively .. I have been deep into the brakes on almost every 1950's commercial L and R-model in my old...

yes , diesel is safe for that as well as flushing the xfer case .. You can do the transmission without running it down the road, which I would be concerned with although i reluctantly have done it .. Instead, you can put xfer case in neutral and run the tranny through each gear a number of...

yes that would work of course, but there's no effective place to put the 2nd heater plug on those engines, except maybe mount it in the cab as a cigarette lighter, but I don't smoke

very good question .. I have a couple big cams for parts and neither of them have the NHC250-type casting that has the port for an intake heater .. My big cams don't have an intake intercooler thus I cannot say whether they have the threaded port for the heater plug... I can measure later to...

aha!!! good catch !! the bare end inserts through the caliper connector , and yep, the other end has the tee .. Haha and now the double-jeopardy question, which brand does it fit ? :ROFLMAO:rofl

I can positively say it is not a part for M880/890-series nor any other 60's-80's dodge truck, nor any 6x6 truck or jeep.. It looks very similar to a ford F250/350 E-brake cable, they are stranded cable and sheathed only a short distance, but those have a connector on both ends .. Now for the...

Has anyone out there ever discovered whether there's a 24V version of the intake heater plug? .. Been round and round a bit on the web and on the champion site, wasting a lot of time and finding conflicting/incorrect info going against what most of us on here already know about the 12V plugs...

painted? .. but they are .... OD, flat green, flat sand, whatever the base color of the vehicle is.. For anything to be painted red other than a fire extinguisher on a tactical vehicle is a no-go and will earn a unit a gig during their Brigade IG inspection :D

as you found out or read in the forums, we can't use GL4 in these trucks due to the yellow metal in them and the sulphur content of certain gear lubes like GL4. I never needed to add any gear oil to your truck and don't know what the town hwy dept may have put in it beforehand .. I hope it was...

spent afternoon pulling, cleaning, lubricating, and testing the transfer case sprag cylinder and tranny poppet valve on one of the 818's while tranny was down out of the way ... Then in went the new TO bearing, press plate, repacked the grease cups etc, hoisted tranny back in place and got the...

For decades I have been using a short old rusty 1/2" extension that I ground the rounded tip down until it was squared .. It was a very early ratchet tool thus it had near-sharp corners, it was not chamfered like modern tools

If you are off-road-only , low-pressure tires, and no general public anywhere near your vehicle, I don't see a problem if you have time and patience .. I have welded a ring of 5/8 re-bar around calcium/chloride-compromised (rusting) beads of rear farm tractor rims for decades with no issues...
