The TM9-801 is pretty useless for repairs. It covers OPERATION and MAINTENANCE. And by maintenance that really only covers 'is it broke? Get a new one'.

 

 

In early 43 the echelon system of maintenance was in full effect and the TM9 was stripped of any useful workshop info except daily/weekly/monthly service Checks.

 

The March 43 TM10-1563 would be the last (well, there is an addendum to cover the fuel/water trucks) would be the one to get.

 

If you stick with the 44/45 TM9 series you're gonna need AT LEAST FOUR books:

 

TM9-801 Operation and Maintenance

TM9-1801, Ordnance Maintenance Power Train, Chassis, and Bodies

TM9-1802A Engine and Powerplant maintenance (this will also have DUKW info... so bonus?)

SNL-G-508 Supply Catalog/Parts book.

 

If you are going to rebuild the 270 you'll want TB9-1802A Fits and Tolerances.

 

You can find PDF versions online for cheap. Most of them are online at www.tm9-801.com

 

I say the TM10s are a better book, plus you only need 2: TM10-1563 Maintenance and TM10-1562 Parts

Thank you very much

I have indeed found that the TM9-801 is all about maintenance and not really repairs thank you for the info.

Thank you very much

Hello everyone

I have recently bought a 353 :-D and my question to everyone is which is the best workshop manual to buy for the GMC range as I will be doing all the work myself.

Regards Ian

Is this vehicle still for sale?

Hi Matt

You should have a PM

Hello everyone,

I haven't been around the Military Vehicle scene for long only about 2 years.

I've always been into vehicles and left school to study vehicle mechanics which I achieved at City & Guilds Technician Level.

I started working life as a truck fitter and spent 8yrs doing that. I had a few years at a small car garage specializing in VW & Audi but then in 1998 I moved up to Northamptonshire to pursue a career in motorsport.

I have worked for Formula Palmer Audi, Williams Touring Cars, Kid Jenson Racing F3000, Williams F1 and Jordon Grand Prix.

I started working at Jordon's as a mechanic on the race team then after a few years took on the role as damper technician running the department for both testing and racing. Well in fact I was the department and looked after all aspects of the damper scene at Jordon.

In 2006 I left and set up my own damper company I.G. Racing Ltd and this year in our 10th year and all is good.

I have designed, built and raced short oval cars with some success and i enjoy nothing more than tinkering in the garage.

That now leads us to the green machines.

I was going to restore a jeep and one day I will but at the moment I am after a GMC 352/353.

I joined the SEM MVT Area 2 years ago after Wicksteed at War 2014 and this February I became Secretary for the Area which is a bit daunting but I'm getting there.

This Sunday is my first organised road run so fingers crossed.

Well that's enough for now I look forward to speaking to some of you on here soon.

Regards Ian :-D
