m211 manual

[DDoyle]

Back issues of Wheels and Tracks are available from Portrayal Press.

The next Army Motors has an article in it detailing the production of the M135 - I don't remember when it is due out.

HTH,

did the manuals get uploaded? is there still a chance to get a copy on cd sent to me? how much?

OK here is an update on the manuals : 5 copies are made , TM 9-8024 , All parts list are on the CD - I have other TM's on the CD also - 8 files in all. I'm having copies made up for the tranny TM (5 copies so far ) and they will be bound and ready for use. I have a slow dial up so to upload them would take for ever ! but I'm working on that. I have a rare TM also its CDN-OM9-819A OP. manual too. just wanted to give everyone an update. I will let everyone know when I mail them out.

In reference to changing the engine and trans on the M211: If you do, dont forget these automatics have the two range tranny but the transfer is one range, so you would lose the low range unless you change the transfer to go with the multifuel. Its way too muchwork, and not worth the trouble. Another words on the multifuel truck, the transfer case is dual range and on the M211 it is single range. Personally I would not want to lose the low range capability.Correct me if I am wrong please. I like to be able to crawl over things!

Thanks for the update and your time and effort.

You're absolutely right on the low range. I've never done it but was told if converting to a manual trans to use a manual shift t.case from a CCKW. Seems like a lot of work and I don't know how well it would hold up.

As an aside, during the 1950s the military converted a M34 by installing the GMC engine and automatic transmission. I have photos, and copies of some of the test reports on this. What I have not seen is if they blocked out low range on the M34 transfer.

If not, I would expect with the transmission shifted to low range, and the M34 transfer in low range, this would be a genuine stump puller! According the APG comparison of the two trucks, the stock M135 had significantly more drawbar pull than M34 from the get go.

Like super low gear. Low in the automatic and low in the transfer. Yes that would crawl real nice.Make a great house mover truck David.

I have an m211 and an m135 w/w that I need to go pickup. I am waiting till I can get as much info on them as possible. I dont want to screw something up. The m135 has not been started in at least 30 years. I want to change all fluids etc. to try to get this going.

If I could get a copy of the manuals I would really appreciate it, Ill cover any shipping costs.

Looking for
TM9-8024
TM9-8025-1
TM9-8025-2
TM9-1819AC
