Picked up my 817 with a trailer in Lavinia, TN last year. GL shipped two more from TN to Wickenberg, AZ that day. Two gentlement appeared in a wrangler jeep wtih a draw bar and the plan was to load the jeep in one of the 817s and tow the other with it back to AZ. Little MV experience. Had to...

It has been my experience that roadrangers and like are usually used with double disk clutches which a M 809 does not have. A blue moons worth of different spline count, diameter and length imput shafts are surely available so get one that matches your clutch, bell housing depth etc or figure it...

Even if the jaw and latch fittings are missing there is usually a fitting on hte bottom center of the rear cross member bracket the lubrication of which facilitates the rotation of the whole assembly which is essential as the lunette on the trailer does not rotate to compensate for uneven terrain.

Probably as m52 has a smaller air pump than a 809 series with the cummins. The 12 ton air over hydraulic brakes had one air cylinder not four. A similar cauton exists with m 872 34 ton trailers which have six air brake chambers.

Reference am general and hauling m915a1s on 25 ton trailers: I rfecall doing this in the service and it would only work if you had a ground ramp to drive straight across on and off as using the ramps on the trailer created too sharp a transition which would bring the fuel tank down onto the...

Find article on gama goats in recent military vehicles magazine. It details a lot of their problems. Noise ? I recall the goat runs a 3-53 or 4-53 detroit two cycle diesel engine and they don't call them screamin jimmies for nothing.

A thousand gallon tank will hold 8000 pounds of water which will overload your truck or has overloaded it in the past if they put that much in. Tanker roll overs are a major source of fire apparatus accidents these days.

The cheapest way to get one is via government liquidation internet action which is where they all originate. Titling cvan take two months, much red tape and delay at gl. No road testing. May have to tow vehicle off military facility you get it from. Condition varies widely from perfect examples...

In new jersey firefighters are currently exempt from cdl to operate fire apparatus. However this does not allow you to operate commercial trucks off duty without it. We have had enough apparatus accidents to get the politicians restless and clds may be requiired in the future. You can drive...

What era do you want to represent ? 1973 trucks came od with stars on the hood and doors and white lettering. Around 1975 camo colors became the rage, no stars and black lettering. 1973 trucks were frequently repainted in the field with parts brushes etc. Still later desert tan may have been...

Rickky did right by me when i was last there to load out.

And height ? Mast trucks are higher than telescoping models. I haved a 6k military rtfl which must be moved on an rgn trailer unless you want to take the ropes off for every move. As m16ty observed, they will go through the floor with the concentrated weight on small tires if your deck is not...

The extended bed 5t in the 809 series is the m 814 which was supplied with and without winch. The expandavan was the m 820 which was normally supplied without winch. These vehicles have air over hydraulic brakes and manual transmissions. The newer 900 series trucks have equiivilent vehicles and...

Biggie to replicate the set up used on the m817ww is to get the double ended pto and the related linkage. Dump trucks are offered for sale on e bay and elsewhere with the note "complete except for pto." if you don't get the pto junk the truck as they seem to be very difficult to acquire...

Valve stem m,issing ? Probably inside dual wheel where nobody checked the pressure and tube eventually deflated and valve sucked inmto rim. This usually ruins the tube, makes it necessary to take the wheel off the vehicle with the double lug nuts because it is n the inside and if the valve stem...
