Inkerman
Hello everyone, just got back from seeing Mr Mazerolle in Inkerman N.B. I bought quite a pile of stuff, mostly all he had for our trucks, sadly, he confirmed my worst fears that some stuff impossible to find now. BUT, IF, you own a Dodge M37 truck or a Willis jeep, YOU ARE IN LUCK! ! I'll post some pictures of the very few Dodge trucks he has left, but believe me he has TONS OF PARTS for them. N.I.B transfer cases, and engine parts galore. Gotta run now, so I'll post more later.

This will be interesting as I have had information about a guy in NB that has M37CDN parts but never managed to get a contact number. Please post more...

Hello Juskatla
I'm going to post the pictures I took while I was there, I WAS going to take pictures of the stock he has in his yard, BUT it seems people were stealing stuff off him for some time, and I didn't want to advertise things to make it easier to steal. So I just showed the stuff outside .I'm going to up load the last pictures next. The first three photo's were taken to show the Jeep the the Queen rode around in when she toured the Gagetown base many years ago. Very hard to get a clear view, but I wasn't going to start clearing stuff to see better. Just enough to show the special features of this vehicle.

Last photo's.
The forth picture from the left shows a missing window. He said "that was there not long ago" Someone stole it. The man standing in front of the truck is MR Mazeolle himself.
His e-mail address is gustavem@nb.sympatico.ca He sells military parts all over the world, so don't be shy to let him know what you need. If you have a Willis jeep, he has those parts also, something like 14 (fourteen) new rebuilt transfer cases still in boxes. He is very good to deal with, and very reasonable also.

Stuff I bought.
I will be posting pictures of some of the stuff I bought, and will be going back someday to pick up still more things. I had a great time talking to Mr Mazerolle, and just wished he had a stock of parts for the G-749 vehicles as great as the old Dodges and Willis jeeps. So keep an eye out for new stuff.

Spark plugs
Hello all,
I wanted to ask about some plugs I bought. I have no way to cross ref these so I need some input from you to find out more about them. The brand is Champion, and the markings are: XHE-11. What I would like to know is are they hot, cold or what?
Any info would help.Thanks.

M-135 backyard hillclimb
https://youtu.be/Gl8Er-J4CrU
This was a real fun thing to do. I could have climbed the hill, but the power and phone lines droop down too much. I'm gonna fix that later
The engine has a pushrod out of place, that's the miss you hear. BUT the screams are from the MRS'S.......(get it?)
Turn the volume WAY WAY up!!!!

Some things from Inkerman NB
Here are some of the items I was very fortunate to buy when on my shopping spree
.
He is looking for a big pile of other stuff, so when I get that call,I hit the road and go.Also got some exhaust clamps, rings, and pipe sections, some brand spanking new. It was just like being in Disneyland that day.
Where it was possible to clearly read the part numbers ,I did the best I could to catch them.This should help when part searching.

Back to the "teardown" and some gastank pictures.
I'm finally able to do some work in the basement again, so now the last part of the tear down will be posted soon. With the GOPRO, I should have less issues with the posting pictures and video's. It took me 2 days to figure how to get the M-135 video uploaded. What a time. I'm not that savvy with new stuff, so you have to do a lot of trial and error. But now I think I have it figured. Any 12 year old would have that done in 2 minutes.
One thing slowing me down, was needing a small tank to run the "scream Machine". I salvaged the best from a very battered and rotten tank, and hand fabbed the rest, then used the original but very solid end panel. Had ONE pin hole, but easily fixable. Take a look
.
So now I should be full speed ahead on the M-207 project. Once i have that stripped, I need to go on the "Military Wrecker " project, and get the winch and cab installed before winter. The winch is all together, and should work perfect. time will tell.

I have not found out anything about these plugs. Sorry.
Does anyone know who sells the Century ignition parts? I can't seem to find anything about them. That distributor cap would be good to add to the parts list if we could find who sells them. I know Century makes the caps too. When I look up those part numbers, nothing comes up.

Distributor Cap
I punched the part number on the box, and up came an e-bay ad. Military p# is 7539586. Seller is sw-ironman Check it out when you can. I think the original supplier is out of business, like you say, nothing comes up for that (box) number. Now I'll go take some pictures of the muffler clamps and steel rings and post them so I won't forget to.

More stuff I bought
Here's some more stuff, although most had part numbers, the pipe clamps had no markings at all on the box, or part. I hope these pictures help somehow.
.
With the exhaust pipe, I'll try to copy them, and install the copy's, rather than lose the originals. With the original dimensions, angles, and bends, we can make all we need. Just need the original muffler.

Another trip to Inkerman N.B.
I have made plans to go to Mr Mazerolle's place again, he emailed me to say he MIGHT have a P.T.O. for my truck. I still hope someday to find a winch or even better, a truck with winch!!! I'll try to take a few pictures of winch parts he has for the M-37's .I think the truck will be well loaded this trip, but I will be light in the pocket for sure.

I exchanged emails with him and got a rough list of what I am looking for. Distance makes larger pieces not practical but a lot of the other stuff is of interest. I will be calling him to see what we can put together to ship out to me. I'll be interested in the pics, if any as I won't likely be making the drive anytime soon...

Inkerman trip
Check with a freight company (Day and Ross as an example) and see what they want for a 4x4 pallet that weighs (for example) 1500 LB's. I could pick it up in Inkerman, and have it shipped from where I work in Eel River N.B.(loading dock and forklift).May cost something like say, $350.00 (as a guess), but it would be worth it..If your interested let me know. He ships from his yard, but I don't know what size he is equipped to handle. I'm just bouncing the ball here, so let me know if you need some ideas, or help.

Thanks for the suggestions and offer. I will see what he has and decide if I need it bad enough to impose on you. Small stuff can be mailed, so that will be the first choice. Doors, bumpers and stuff like winches and pto's would be freight. Once a pallet is going , then the sky is the limit to make it worth doing... I'll keep you posted once I know what I find out.
