    Maine to Massachusetts 816 haul needed

    I've used United States of Freight and they did an outstanding job, undercut everyone else's prices and delivered early.

    Best carc stripper

    I gave up with stripper and went with sand blasting on my M416 trailer. The sandblasting was tough and took hours and expense to remove the CARC.

    Irish Spring soap (Rodent Deterrent)

    I had terrible problems with mice eating the center out of my drivers seat on my M35A2. They were eating the canvas and foam rubber. I put Irish Spring soap on the center of the seat and to my surprise, the mice ate a big chunk out of the bar of Irish Spring soap. Obviously didn't work for...

    Finally bought a M37!

    If the tank halves are in good shape, you can get the tank welded back together.

    Finally bought a M37!

    M37s are neat trucks. I drove them in the Army and have driven several since, including one in an underground mine that had a Ford tractor diesel engine installed.

    3rd Rusted Fuel Tank Cap in 1 year.

    I have a 1998 M35A3 and the cap spring was very corroded when I obtained the truck from Sparta. I cleaned the rust off and covered everything with grease. It immediately corroded again. I replaced the cap with an NOS cap that looked perfect. I again coated the spring and everything on the...

    Swing Pedal Adjustments - Anyone done this?

    You will need to remove the cover on the tower to get to the linkage. I had a similar issue when I first got my FLU419 only it impacted both swing pedals. In my case I had two problems. Problem #1 was the valve assembly had some surface corrosion on the valve rod that slides up and down. It...

    Odyssey PC2250ST 6tl the bad? best seller?

    I keep a NOCO 5 X 2 on my MEP003A batteries. It is one great battery charger / maintainer. You don't need to disconnect the batteries to hook up the charger.

    A lot of places will do it where I live. I'm currently booked at Carquest for the job.

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    Having 20' extensions is a very good idea. I've used my entire 35' on several occasions and it barely reached. My reel has exactly 35', but it barely fits on the reel with the cover installed. My hose has the following nomenclature stamped on it. Aeroquip FC310 08 HI PAC 3500 MAX OPER PSI...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    How long are the hydraulic hoses on other FLU419s? My reel is absolutely full, if not overloaded with hose. I measured my hoses and I have exactly 35 feet of double hose. I looked up the specs for the reel on my FLU419 and it stated that the reel is rated for 15 feet of double hose with the...

    The part number is 7034882. Look in TM 9-2330-267-14&P. It doesn't show an NSN.

    3 Phase to Single Phase Step Down Transformers

    I don't understand why you would need 18 KW to run your house. I have a very large house, totally electric. I have an MEP003A, a 10 kw machine that feeds a 400 amp square D manual transfer switch. I don't have any load switching at all. We have frequent power outages because we live remotely...

    3 Phase to Single Phase Step Down Transformers

    I'm not saying you are incorrect as I am absolutely not an expert. However, I don't understand why using the transformer would keep the generator in balance if only two of the three legs are pulled from, the third leg has no load, and both of the legs pulling a load are likely to have different...

    FLU419 front loader hydraulic pump issues.

    Have you checked with Expedition Imports? They have a large amount of FLU419 parts, a lot more than they have listed online. If it was me, I would keep it original.

    MV of the Month July 2023

    I'll submit my new to me un-cut M151A2. This is a former TOW missile launch jeep and still a work in progress, but runs and drives great.

    I bought the Pirelli tires for my FLU419 from CSM Army tires in Alabama. Shipped the next day and very good price. I love the Pirelli tires.

    Usmc m1030b1

    My M1030M1 has a rifle rack across the handlebars. It has rubber Y-shaped holders with a rubber strap across each one. It also came with three RFID units, one on each side and one larger one on the handlebars. I've never seen another M1030M1 with a rifle rack. Mine was definitely USMC use.
