Looks like the electrical system is a start-from-scratch deal. Can't be too choosy when it comes to reasonably priced HMMWVs. Looks like she needs a serious steam clean.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Is the pic of the solenoid upside down or is the solenoid actually upside down?Well it appears I have my work cut out for me. No pun intended. But I see at least one new wiring harness and some electrical components.

Is this a long hard road? The starter still says 24v and the batteries are hooked up in series but I did not check the alternator output. I of coarse want to restore back to original operation and function.Someone had converted it to 12v...maybe even a previous has motor....seen it to many times.

550 lbs, haha that's what the M35A2 transfer case weighed. I'm really going to enjoy working on this. I am going to look into just replacing the wiring harness as you suggested,3 point seat belts, and everything in the HMMWV sticky.Once the body is off, your going to be able to do things like clean,paint and replace with ease.
Once its all back together you will have this truck for many years to come...and then buy another...repeat....lol
Not sure of your set up but 6 guys can lift the body off. Its 550lbs, i use gantry or forklift with chains on the 4 bed tie downs.
All of that mess will be removed. I appreciate the heads up just the same.I would turn the solenoid back around to avoid false activating. When the spring wears out enough that plunger will just drop down, usually it happens at the worst time.
Looks nice, good luck with everything on it.
Why not a 1044/45/46?Thank you. I plan to turn it into a M1025 slant back version but it needs mechanical repairs first.
Yes sir they are missing. Unfortunately a long list of missing on this truck.From the last picture are the rear toolbox seat bases missing?
Missing or never had them? Some trucks did not have them, such as maxi ambulance and shelter carrier.Yes sir they are missing. Unfortunately a long list of missing on this truck.
The need list is just slightly longer. Haha
Possibly but another item on the need list.Missing or never had them? Some trucks did not have them, such as maxi ambulance and shelter carrier.
