Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Got a link? Can't do a search for "TM" and I find them very aggrevating to try to find info.Just a few days ago, I posted a refresher on TM usage.
Sadly... welcome to the internet. Or more specifically, internet forums. They're all the same, some worse than others. This one is actually less tolerant of BS than most but a lot of people still get their panties in a wad. I guess their mothers never told them "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all".it seems that there is an awful lot more effort going into telling people to search for the answer and read the book, or something like that, rather then actually helping someone with a problem/question...just my opinion.

anything over 26K GVWR requires a CDL thats all folks
We all have brain farts every now and then...
My buddy (who lived next door) and I were building my workshop over the summer a few years ago. I had been frantically trying to get building material inside the building since a big rain storm was coming....he had seen me and came down and asked "What are you doing???"
I told him "big storm coming, don't want to get the materials wet...
He started laughing his butt off.....I had been trying to get the siding inside the building...he asked if I was going to take apart the siding in the future whenever it rained out after the building was finished.....
We still laugh over that one...every rain he says "Uh Oh, better start pulling the siding off and getting it inside!!!"
So brain fart, yeah, you did. But hey, it's a good laugh as long as you didn't break anything....

Thanks, that helps a little. Has anybody done any kind of breakdown as to what can be found where? As in "Replace wheels cylinder: TM xx-xx-xx; page x" or anything like that? Or even a guide as to what would be considered Operator level vs. unit level vs. depot level to at least narrow it down?Post#4 in this thread. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/72297-tm-numbers-clutch-change-requested.html
and a bit more info in this thread, post#7. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/74262-stuck-oil-drain-plug.html

To add to the above posts, the 209 or 361 numbers, the 209 manual was issued before the 361 manual. They both contain the same info, just one is a newer version than the other.
You want to find and save all of the TMs for either or both series TMs, to have a complete set for your personal use.
Remember the -10 is the basic operators manual
the -12 is the Lube order
the -20, unit level repairs
the -34, Depot level repairs(most complex)
the ones ending in P, are parts listings with exploded views of all the parts.
I save them in sets, in folders(pdf files) and view the folders with the medium size thumbnails, that way I can actually see the file as a book(like the real TM) and see what is in it.
You misunderstand. I didn't mean which manuals were for which level of maintenance, I meant which jobs.Thats exactly what DH posted in that reply:
Actually, moving your siding inside wasn't a bad idea. Metal siding will discolor and rust fairly quick if it gets wet in a stack and allowed to sit for a period of time.We all have brain farts every now and then...

Lowest common denominator. Keep in mind that these trucks were being repaired by 18 year old boys with barely a high school education, sometimes less.I guess what I'm getting at is that the TMs are almost too simple.
That is what I meant when I said they were difficult to use. They do have great information. But I wondered if there was a "rule of thumb" on which level did what. Obviously the operators and parts TM is self explanatory. The depot and unit level are the ones I always look at the wrong one first.You misunderstand. I didn't mean which manuals were for which level of maintenance, I meant which jobs.
As in "Axle swap: depot level" or "Valve Adjustment: Unit level", etc.
