Neglected Army Truck. Will it run and drive? 

No! I think your right! It seems that a lot of these knuckleheads give little to no thought to being prepared ahead of time.

You're not the only one, but I think it could be done on purpose i.e., for content and as a challenge - we can d better than others and resurrect car with less tools/resources..

Yep. Bad prep.

What does IP stand for?

Injection pump

They should be tared and feathered

The world is in business today, yesterday it was built to last for ages and therefore to cement a name, today not to long last for the stomach is constantly craving for more new tastes and fills ..?.......?

Couldn't tell you how many of these 5 and 2 1/2 tons on ranges

Steve, with Multifuel Engines, You are correct. The M800 Series 5Ton was powered by a Cummins 250 naturally aspirated Diesel engine. It would ONLY run on Diesel.

Made in USA

En la actualidad las cosas son descartables. Esas máquinas son superiores.!!!! Excelencia en camiones.

@@patrickdaly5117It would run on any oil based fuel, It's a mechanical injection pump. As long as the fuel is filtered properly it will run just fine. It will also run on gasoline, but it will destroy the pump in a few minutes unlike the multifuel which would last a while longer

​@@patrickdaly5117 I have a m925 5 ton with nhc 250 Cummins 855, same engine he has, and I run it on 80% waste motor oil filtered with 20% diesel, and I have ran it on that for tens of thousands of miles, same mix I run in my m35a2 deuce and half with multi fuel, they both run better on that mix then straight diesel.

is this how Russia is getting its army equipment? 😄

I was amazed he finally got that one running 😂😆 he's a Mr obvious that guy is

Why hasn't he tried getting them in running state before this video did he feel like he had a buyer that was interested

Too bad it got cut up for scrap. Read the last line in the video.

that part of the film appears to be reversed some how ? its a left hooker alright .

I'm not surprised people have noticed. Somehow my camera recorded it in mirror image, but my editing software couldn't flip it. Good catch!

The FD logo on your t-shirt is backwards there Chief.

@@gtmtnbikr I am a fireman, but not the kind you're thinking. Look up N&W 611.

A good portion of the ones I have run across are 'round-to-its', something sidelined the machine, and the owner was going to get around to fixing it. And never did. Many more were collected, and just never worked on. And more were left after the owner died. I agree, some of them were simply parked because parts are no longer available or it is worn out beyond economical repair. Some stuff passes into the Golden age, where it was a common item, then parked, more and more were disposed of, and now this one is only one of a handful left and now worth the effort to save. The real reason for all the videos on the subject is that they are popular, and get lots of views.

So you are talking a MACK 123 tractor or a 125 cargo/artillery tractor. I had one, the trucks came with a 844 ci Le Roi petrol engine and then they upgraded them to a MACK 300 V-8 diesel and that helped their fuel mileage a bunch it got the truck up to .75 mpg instead of .50 mpg! Big trucks to say the least!

Years ago they were running 903 Cummins V-8's and 5-speeds but were too wide to run on the highway.

@@lewiemcneely9143 they never ran a 903 in them they ran what was called a 300 although it was a V8 like the 903 it was smaller. I replaced a 300 that was in a 123 and had to hunt for one for about a month and finally found one that was freshly overhauled on the east coast and replaced the original 300 with that one. The big Macks are tough to get parts for because you have to deal with fiat in Italy who owns Mack.

@@karlk6860 I was around them in 1971 to almost 73 and they were 903's. The R/T carnes had them in their carriers and some amphibs had one or 2. I was IN the blasted Army and in engineer outfits and transportation outfits. When it says Cummins, that's what it was. And I've hated 903's and 555's from that moment on.

@@lewiemcneely9143 sorry I have a feeling we are talking about different vehicles. I am talking about the Mack 123 military tractor used to pull a trailer to haul tanks. I believe the 123 replaced the Dragon Wagon. The 123 was discontinued from the US military in like 1960. I guess when the tanks being hauled were faster than the truck pulling them was. You are certainly correct on the 903 being used in both wheeled and tracked vehicles though mainly the Bradley for tracked rigs. Sorry about the misunderstanding no disrespect intended!

Why send it to Ukraine They should pay and find there own pointless war

Pulled the injectors, put a bar on it as best we could, had two big guys hanging on it.. Wouldn't budge at all. Should have rolled over with no compression even with weak batteries. It was stuck stuck, besides my comment at the time.

@@steamman5320 good man. I thought maybe you just gave up at no crank. I wonder if some atf, diesel or just some engine oil sitting atop the pistons overnight would have helped. It breaks my heart to think the truck was scrapped

@@kalgstol me too. We just didn't have the time unfortunately, and the family got the dollar signs in their eyes before I could get back up there. It's such a shame.

@@steamman5320 I've got my fingers crossed that the family was duped into taking a quick lump sum and the trucks were/are being resold or parted out. Sorry for your loss brother. Keep up the great work

@@kalgstol thanks, I hope so too! Thanks for the kind words.

It is too late now, the family came in a scrapped everything shortly after this video. Wanted a quick paycheck. I just couldn't make it up soon enough to save this truck and the dump truck. I had pulled the injectors on the dump truck to see if it was hydro locked. I did pour some diesel down each cylinder, figuring exactly what you said might happen when I came back, and then I would buy both. But it was not meant to be.

You'll play hell turning this engine over with a wrench. It ain't a 6 cylinder gas car engine. It's most likely a 635 C.I. Continental multifuel.

​​@@clay1883The 5 tons had NHC855 Cummins whereas the 2.5 tons had the multifuels

No thought short sighted NPC idiots(office slugs lkely) .

He commented the family didn’t wait and had a scrapper (or themselves) cut all of the trucks up.

They are damn good trucks for a lot of things, we took a 72’ and swapped the 250 for a 400 big cam, boy those Rockwell axles had no problem turning then, what a beast.

The owner passed away, the family swooped in and cut everything up before I could get back to finish the job and haul it out of there. Dozens of trucks and trailers that were already spoken for. It is still an ongoing mess.

You're welcome! Glad you liked the video. I have gotten some trucks running and driven them home, but after an intense inspection, and only for a short distance. Anything else gets a thorough going over, or hauled. It isn't worth hurting someone.
