In.

I bought two new (fresh and expensive) Goodyear G177 11R-20 tires for the front of my M925. The existing tires have zero cracking in the sidewalls, but were made in 2003. I don't want to be the first to the scene of a crash.

I have seen numerous posts about the two styles of front drive axles which are the Universal joint and ball/cv types. Posts state that the CV was replaced with the u-joint type. Here is a copy & paste from manual 9-2320-272-23-3, manual page 0411-4, pdf page 596: "New configuration axle shafts...

Th The one I ordered is in USGI packaging with the correct NSN and PN.

New shaft on the way.

Well, I glued the plastic pieces back on and riveted them every two inches. I used .040" x 1" stainless on the outside to rivet through. Just got it slid back through the front channel and flopped over the top. I will finish it tomorrow. It isn't that difficult reinstalling these by myself.

My question is can this be changed without pulling the pump off. I am concerned about the drive gear falling out...

I'm going to rivet it back together. Probably use a strip of stainless on the outside. I'm used to draining oil from equipment. I was poorly positioned to hold the 5 gal pail in the right position. The worst spill I had was draining a hydraulic tank on my dozer. The 1" pipe plug blew out from...

I was driving my M925 truck this afternoon to warm up the engine to change the oil. That is when 'POOF", the soft top front came loose. I held down the center bow while slowing down. There was about a 3-4" air scoop sending cold air inside the cab. I put on a glove and headed back to the shop...

I finally got insurance through State Farm. Classic vehicle liability only is $24.40 for six months.

I talked to Hagerty and wouldn't insure me since I store the M925 outside. I called Progressive Commercial and said they don't insure military vehicles. I already have two trucks insured with them for my business. I am going to see if my neighbor can store my truck in his barn until I can...
