You're right. The thickness of mine is 1/16". The one mentioned must be the washer between the outer bearing and first lock nut. The other thing I thought of would be to dress down and flatten the damaged part and bend over the outer lock nut at a fresh location.

Thanks for the info. That looks like the one I need. I'm going to get in touch with them tomorrow.

Correction on the OD 2 1/2"

Anyone know of a source for the locking washer as shown? The axle is a FA 505. The OD of the washer is 2 1/5" and ID is 1 1/4". I don't think this one can stand another bend.

It's a close race between her, Jazzie and Tim Walz.

If you are looking to convert to power steering I have a Garrison hydraulic unit that came off of a B model.

I did that job a couple of years ago and as Bob mentioned used my trusty engine hoist. My old air compressor would build air but also passed a lot of oil into the system. It is also a good idea to trouble shoot the system as Mecho recommends before just replacing the compressor.

Hopefully you can get you strength back and the therapy keeps working.

The buyer said the first thing he was going to do with was "advertise it". I think he was from FL so the first order of business would be to get it there. Here is the write up: The M925 is the standard cargo version of AM General’s M939 series of five-ton US military heavy trucks, developed in the 1970s to replace the M39 and M809. Built on a long-wheelbase chassis, it was equipped with drop sides to allow loading by forklifts. Other standard features included a front-mounted winch, bottom-hinged tailgate, side racks, troop seats, and overhead bows with a canvas cover. Like all M939 series trucks, the M925 has three axles and six wheels, all of which are powered by an 855-cubic-inch Cummins NHC 250 inline six-cylinder diesel engine producing 240 horsepower at 2,100 rpm and 685 pound-feet of torque at 1,500 rpm. An Allison MT654CR five-speed automatic transmission with a two-speed transfer case sends power to all three axles. Production of the AM General M939 series ran from 1982 through 1987, with a large portion being retrofitted to the previous M809 chassis. This M925 has a delivery date of 8 October 1984 stamped on its identification number plate mounted to the dashboard. The truck features a front-mounted winch, distinctive camouflage pattern, and “Seabees” insignia on both doors, referring to the US Naval Construction Battalions (“CBs”) conceived as replacements for civilian construction companies in combat zones after the attack on Pearl Harbor. A true workhorse, this M925 could serve as an eminently capable hauler for a business, a head-turning parade vehicle, or an impressive collection piece for enthusiasts of US military machinery.

This sold at the Hershey auction this past Wed. The sale price of $8800 includes the premium. It was in very good condition with a Cummins engine. Seems like a "hard to miss" deal. HERSHEY 2025 1984 AM General M925 Lot 172 | $8,800 USD

Great pictures. I think you got them all. The Autocar twin steer roll back was a monster.

That was probably me leaving. I didn't bring the truck due to an extended king pin replacement job. Yeah too bad the weather wasn't better. I'm sure there would have been a lot more trucks.

Sorry i missed you yesterday. Zina was doing a good job of holding down the fort. How many more trucks came in this morning?

Sorry to hear about your scary incident. I have the same habit of turning on the dishwasher late in the evening. I have thought of the "what if" but now it's time to change that habit. Glad things weren't any worse and hopefully you can get things repaired and back to normal.

I was on the way to pick up a friend to go check out an antique car. I was also listening to Howard just as the second plane hit the tower.
