wow, nice .. I have not seen one that clean in almost 50 years but then again I was in MO and then the northeast during their time .. G744 is spot-on with his comment . In heavy transport school we spent the first week lockstep on all three versions of the M151 before being free to move...

I have no issue with people swapping out for electronics, it's their rig.. However i would have to be dragged right down to a last resort .. I sure agree with you about the lack of points quality nowadays, they are crap .. It's pretty disgusting when "worn-out" 60 or 70-year-old points have...

well that explains some things ! .. i did not know such items were buried in caps ... i've had a few errant caps the last 50 or so years that passed the "nightfire" test (no arcing seen in darkness) but they still missed after a good cleaning and with new or freshly-serviced other ignition...

there are more than a few mfg's still making 20" tube-type radials (and bias) to slap on your existing rims I bought 6 goodyear G-3xx something or other in 8.25x20 tube-type radials for one of my 1950's IH dumps awhile back , an old-time common profile i did not think i would find anywhere...

All the ermeto fittings on the M62's were supposedly a one-time factory run just for that one particular size of steel pipe on the A-W cranes... A good hyd shop can get adapter couplings so you can thread the ermeto nut on the pipe to the adapter coupling and thread a "normal" hyd fitting to...

i am gonna go for a longshot since "78" is switched .. Certain models of M39-series multifuel have dual tanks where the RH tank serves as a transfer tank with an external pump controlled by a switch at RH of dash to replenish the LH main tank .. M54's (your said model) do not have a 2nd tank ...

i apologize in advance if this has been linked here before , i have not seen it https://www.facebook.com/reel/1381268990193071

as my WW2 vet father would say with emphasis, "Now THERE's a source of fun and adventure ! "

I have several 1950's medium trucks w/hydravacs on them (stock) .. Never seen one blow a hole but mine are all up high out of harms way.. Did you figure out whether water got in there and froze, or was a physical blow to the hydravac?

I have a couple BYOI's from the late-1970's , maybe one is early-80's .. They are a little different in that they heavily push PMCS ,, iirc.

Will this old NDCC Pirelli 900x20 make this old M35 go faster? rofl

Do you mean keep them away of just the hydramatics ? Or are you also saying stay away from putting rebs in M34, M35, M49C etc too?

both downloaded here, both are complete/identical

Today was a busy one involving the M62(A2) .. I badly miss it's long-gone R6602 whenever the truck hits the road , but it's far more economical on diesel when doing stationary work .. Today's job involved a tail-end deadlift of a D53-15 dozer (equivalent to Cat D6D) to slide timbers under the...

UPDATE : IT SOLD FOR $16,100.00 !!!!! o_Oo_Oo_O I bet the Town never saw that kind of price coming .. No doubt they obtained it for less than 2k .. Most of the time a state's OGS (office of general services) screens the federal surplus at regional facilities and the municipalities pay...

why not? It has wheels and makes noise, right? :ROFLMAO:

good to know !! ,, whatever it was it sure smelled like sulphuric acid (and that's what we all thought at the plant) and it sure made a mess of engine oil and the internals

I concur about using WMO (and WVO) to spray-undercoat vehicles and treat wood on trailer decks , truck flatbeds, wagon beds etc .. Been doing it 50 years... HOWEVER,,, i learned long ago to avoid WMO coming from diesel engines, especially worn out ones, as back then the wood seemed to punk...

Although i know of places that dumped their WMO back into the bulk fuel tanks, especially in the days when B-model and R-model mack's were the usual trucks "eating" it, I wouldn't use it. Not only because of ash, but because of increased injector wear from microscopic metal in the WMO .. One...
