    I finally joined the club and bought my first MV! - M813A1

    If you remove the the neutral locking plate it will work. I like the locking plate as it removes the guess work ensuring the PTO is set to neutral. I don't have a pic of it right now, but I cover that forward hole with a thick flap of rubber riveted in place.

    Rubber lines, I second that! However, an M813 hasn't a fuel tank selector valve.

    I finally joined the club and bought my first MV! - M813A1

    Got these on my M818. These photos are from eight years ago and they still look like this. They came from John Tennis... http://www.jatonkam35s.com/m35shiftboots.htm You can't put one on PTO shift lever due to the NEUTRAL locking plate.

    Hub/Brake Drum puller/installer

    Maybe a clamp/retainer that would hook under a lug nut or slip over a stud then a lug nut installed??

    Hub/Brake Drum puller/installer

    I saw those a while back. They’re pretty slick! Expensive though! I do wonder if they would work with the rear hub/drum assembly? It seems that this dolly is design for the outboard style brake drum only.

    Hub/Brake Drum puller/installer

    I took one of my old 20" rims and made a hub/brake drum puller/installer jig that adapts to my floor jack. I cut the rim in half and removed some of the rim lip as to not interfere with the jack. I drilled a 7/8" hole at the bottom center of the rim half. I removed the jack's lifting plate and...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    There is an airline plumbed with a shutoff valve to the firewall left of the steering column above the clutch pedal. It is plumbed via the air manifold behind the instrument cluster that also supplies the air gauge, windshield wiper valve and trailer handbrake, if so equipped. I removed mine. My...

    Lexus vs M931 bobtailed, got rear ended

    Here's what mine looks like now plus some of the NATO reflective delineator decals, similar to the panels in the right photo, on the very bottom outer corners of the mudguards. It all lights up pretty bright at night.

    New clutch install help.M813

    Did you remove the three shipping bolts and washers on the new pressure plate? My pressure plate is different than that of the one in the TM. It came with instructions to remove those bolts. Here's my flywheel after machining over five years ago for reference. Sorry, but I can't give you...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Wow! Sorry to hear about your stud misfortune! Glad no one was hurt! Here's my recent tire adventure... Back in February, I converted my M818 to Firestone T831 12R22.5's from Goodyear G177 11.00R20's. The two are comparable in size and the 12R22.5's are a hair less than an inch in diameter...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Hey, let me get six inches closer to that red light! MAYBE, I'll get there quicker! :roll::roll: You should have charged him a drayage fee! He was darn near coupled up to you!

    What are these two items

    The electrodes look like they may be fueler grounding stakes.

    need 150 mile tow Los Angeles to Ridgecrest, Ca. M932A2

    I've got a CDL B with no restrictions. I live nearby and am familiar with your start point. Upon my inspection of the truck, I can probably help you out. Those HAZMAT and radiation placards should be removed or covered. Insurance and registration would be paramount. Let me know.
