Cranetruck, why don't you come up? Haven't seen you since Aberdeen first time at Cal Ripken stadium. I'd like to show you my oil filter adaptors. John T

RE: SandBaggin I have a fiberglass M-37 hardtop over in NY state, I will sell it for $100 but I will need to have it picked up, I can't ship it. JT

Yankee Deuce and I will be there by Thursday Night, staying till Sunday am. We'll have Black Beauty and Aces $ Eights with us. All the usual for sale stuff , Oil Filter Adaptors, and the new AVM lockout hubs. I'm looking forward to what I think is the greatest show of the season. JT out

Hello all of the Steel Soldiers, hey, are the selectros actually available to purchase as of right now? I am thinking that they are not in production any more. I need to be corrected, or somebody agree with me if you also know we can't get them any more. Next, I am going to measure the...

Maybe your drag link adustment is loose, it really makes a big difference. The end screws in with a drag link socket to tighten the cups around the ball end of the steering arm. Make sure it is greased. Good luck, JT

I have the 24 volt type with the LED indicator. I have one on my M543A2 wrecker and one on one of my M51A2 dump trucks, they both sit a lot and they both have 6TL batterries that were new since I bought the trucks. I let both trucks months at a time and they ALWAYS crank over and start on their...

RE: cover Jimmy, I have the tops and rods in stock all the time. Wayne, I use my canopy whenever I need the wrecker and it really helps on the sun in your face. I didn't design it, I just build what the Military invented on their own, using Military intelligence!!!!!! John T

The hard top enclosure is on M246 and 819 Aircraft recovery cranes. The soft canopy was to shield the wrecker operator from the sun. JT

Yeah Kenny I just got here too, I would have told him it looks just like the operator's covers I make for the wrecker guys. I make the hoops and bows too but they are tough to ship cheap. I'll have to get here earlier for the next trivia question!!!!

RE: Trans input shaft My M51A2 dump has a 1.75" input shaft. I think the 800 series does too. The alignment tools are made also by OTC. You can get them at truck shops. Also the Snap-on man or Matco tool man has them. John Tennis

And another filter available is Baldwin BT-124. It filters at advertised 12 Micron rating. The company tells it's dealers that it is a 10 Micron rated filter. Anti drainback is the correct term, dabtl. And I'll work on the secondary and final adaptors. John Tennis

RE: More pictures M35A2 co-owner has a military MWO applied modification here. The spin-on filter base peplaces the cannister type base. Hercules did this on farm tractors and the military picked up on it. If you can find one of these bases for sale, it would be a good buy. This base uses a...

Can one of you guys measure the actuall height of an Overson lockout hub? I don't have one available to check out. Thanks, John tennis

Deuce Spin-On Oil Filters As long as the thread came back up, To up date you guys, I have sold a bunch of sets of these filter adaptors and have put them on 5 of my trucks now. No problems No leaks. My time to pressure is between 2 and 5 seconds, depending on motor condition. I have noticed a...

RE: Re: Anybody have experience with this guy? I bought some 15.50's from him. Perfect deal, very easy going. When I need more I'll get a hold of him. JT out

RE: More pictures. 1968 Thanks for the great photos, I just built a Gun Truck to show respect to all of the guys who put their time in Vietnam. I wanted to be a CB, didn't work out. JT out

Sounds great, Maccus! Ill stay in touch. I haven't been this excited about planning a trip in years. So far there are 3 vehicles in our group. We pretty much figure on limiting it to 10 total, That should be eniough excitement for us and the places we'll be driving through. John tennis

Some of our NY-Penn MVCC members and I are going to drive Rt 20 to the West coast next June, we are looking for Steel Soldiers along the way to stop by and visit with. Maybe I can set up a help net too in case of trouble along the way. We are taking a maximum of 10 vehicles to try to keep the...
