Can you post a pic of how you mounted your military ladder. I would love to see how you did it. I have one now and have some chains it hangs on but it is not solid.

Thanks for the response Mullaney, Currently the clutch system is linkage. I have only theorized of putting in a clutch hydraulic system to remove the physical shifting problem between the cab and the engine/trans/t-case that could cause this type of issue. In the old days my friends had CJ5...

Hello all, My M813 is a bit odd, with the clutch. When attempting to slip the clutch to ease my rig into gear the clutch with grab then release then grab harder and release. Example: Trying to back up very cautiously along the side of my house which is uphill slightly, as I let out the clutch...

Front locker in and the conclusion is....... No issue in an M809 series driving on hard pavement. Don't even know it is there. I will post updates as I have some driving time off road in snow or mud.

The front is at 60 and the 4 rears are at 52. My tires were new with the fuzzies on them and I found that running anything more than this that the tire side lugs were not wearing the same as the center section of the tires. When at the above psi the side fuzzies began to wear evenly with the...

Driving with the two rear lockers I honestly could not tell any difference on dry pavement. Truck turns same as always and no tire dragging due to the lockers being able to free spool the faster rotating tire. Will be using my 1x4 air hose assembly I made back a bit to ensure that all 4 of these...

My friend Kenny was able to figure out how to get them back together without breaking fingers. From his description the two shafts need to be just slightly apart and the shafts at an angle to one another and the last ball will be where you can tap it in with a soft hammer. He did them both and...

Swapped in two new Detroit lockers into the rears and am doing the third this week on the front. I am with you, that was a lot of work to put in something that may let go. Who knows maybe it would have been OK. Either way, I did pass. In researching this issue though, I talked with the very...

Installed two rear lockers a couple of weeks back: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/posts/2585116/bookmark Honestly could not tell any difference in the driving on dry pavement. Installing the Front Locker this week. With the 809 the transfer case is "free wheeling" due to the sprag not engaging...

Cant find anything in the TMs on how to get the 5 ball and claw assembly to reassemble. It is obviously doable but after having some close calls on busting my fingers trying to hold and swivel etc I though I might just ask here and save me a trip to the institution or hospital, whichever comes...

No kidding this was a bit much to bite off, but was able to punch the leaky inner seals out, replace the boots and put the locker into the chunk clean everything up on the top loader, reinstall the chunk and do some clean up of tools etc... On Saturday Looking to finish. Will be getting the...

Getting the last locker installed in yhe front axle. Would be "easier" if I was doing a big cam swap and just pulling the chunk out the hood rather than havimg to pull yhe entire axle out from under the rig. The UBolts were an absolute bear. Everything else was smooth to this point. Will get the...

There is a great video done by yhe Western Canadian Rockwell guys on Youtube on how to do a chunk inspection. In yhis video they cover the details on a 2 1/2ton chunk but point out along the way yhe differences with the 5 ton. Very helpful.

Well that took longer than i thought it would for the two rears. Will finish putting back on the driveshafts today.

I have purchased 3 Detroit lockers for the axles and three sets of Konig chains for my 16.00R20s. I will be attempting to make the "track" chains discussed back a ways in my thread. I will start installing the lockers on Monday with the help of another SS member. I need to pull my S-280 out and...

Ended up finding three of them to put into my rig. Will start installing them Monday.

@Lugnuts This would be for my M813, I thought I had an extra starter I picked up in a surplus sale just in case the EMPs blow out the one I have on my rig, but in researching this MFY-6101-IUT, it looks like it is not going to fit my NHC-250. I would like to have a spare in a EMP box ready to...

@74M35A2 Do you have any of these 24V units for the NHC250 in my M813? I am in a "Cold place" in the winter and a kicking starter would very nice. If I don't do my start up just right I have to charge my 2 batteries and then try again. In the summer, even sitting for a month or two my rig...

All, My S-280 is mounted in the back of my M813. The box has skids that have suspension like qualities that appear to give at least a few inches of movement. When mounted in the back of the bed am I suppose to tighten this down to where the "give" in these skids is tightened down or am I to...

Out for a warm up and a full fuel top off. The BOT is awesome. Excellent rig.
