I'm going with M61A2 (Its M809-series cousin is the M810). Both models have the same wheel base as their tractor, bolster and dump truck counter parts, but with a slightly long end frame like that of the rare M743/M815 bolster truck. They were frequently fitted with water or oil tanks.

My M818 has been fully converted to dual circuit air brakes with s-cam rears and M939-series wedges on the front. Plumbing is mostly DOT push-to connect fittings and NT100 nylon air brake tubing. The existing fittings can be used with NT100 if you use the specific tube sleeves, nuts and inserts...

I second any opinions on fuel lines. These NHC's DO NOT like air in their fuel lines. I replaced all mine with Fragola Series 2000 AN fittings and their black nylon race hose. Also, make sure you check the fuel primer tubing and the o-rings in the fuel primer itself. Classic place to unknowingly...

A new warning label so I don't over shoot anyone by a week and a half ;)😁 My truck wouldn't look good in plaid.

What he said! 👆;) Thanks for the shout-out, Brother Brutacus! 👍👍

WOOHOO! I finally made the Big Time! Thanks to all who supported the Hannibal 8 and Crew!

Yes, you can. The mainshaft and countershaft are common to both. However, The drive gear ratio is different between the two. So, I did the math and just replacing the third gears widens the hole between 2nd and 3rd to around 78%.

Thanks for your reply. The sale I have my eye on said the tranny came from a 1979 International S1900. In what capacity (bobtail box, dumptruck, tractor), its not stated. We have several decent grades out here and I've had to take them all in 4th high, one in third. So, I should be OK there...

I have mulled over the alternatives for replacement transmissions, i.e. 6, 7, 8, 9 or even 10 speed, for my M818, but have run into issues including over length, over width and PTO incompatibility. Some of these problem may be cured, but only after major modification to the drive train. So, I...

Ah, heck! I haven't played in a while. @USAFSS-ColdWarrior, is this the proverbial gauntlet answer? ;)

I converted an M809-series truck to straight air brakes ridding myself of the questionable air-hydraulic brakes. M809-series (M818) Air Brake Retrofit

Correct. Going to outboard drums was a project in and of itself.

The M39/M809-series and M939/M939A1-series hubs are dissimilar. The latter are narrower on the spindle housing.

I did it on an M818 with drums, hubs, spiders, and shoes from an M931A1. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m809-series-m818-air-brake-retrofit.140055/page-3 Start with post #55.
