Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I was wondering what that PTO looked like, now I know! Looks like a nice snatch block too . . .In my search for Gama Goat parts . . . Hmmm, I thought... I really wasn't looking for a winch kit as I intend to swim my Goat should that time arise. OK I thought, I inquired back and asked if it was an actual kit. His response was YES . . .
She came complete with an extra hook and chain for the winch cable. The winch cable is coated with cosmoline. Plus she had a nice NOS snatch block in there!!
She's a beautiful kit. Thanks again Stuart!I was wondering what that PTO looked like, now I know! Looks like a nice snatch block too . . .
I can't read it clearly but if you can zoom on the FE# on the web of the shoe, I might be able to cross/ id the aftermarket number for you?I know there is a very limited number of Gama Goat owners. Most of which are mechanically inclined. However, just in case you need an easy way to get that wheel cylinder out without taking everything apart, here you go. Simply remove one retaining clip and one spring. Slide the brake shoe out of the way, pull out wheel cylinder and put the new one in![]()
I did run into an issue. Not sure how this happened. But the carrier's passenger side drum had DOT-5 all over in there. I wasn't able to track down any leaks so I can only assume that Soldier A or B bled the brakes and just let the DOT-5 drip down into the drum. Well, the brake shoes had a nice film of coating the surface. Looks like I'll need to track down some replacement shoes for her. From what I've read, the M715 shares the same brake shoes and there is a cross reference to set of 1980's Chevy truck. I may just buy a set of replacement shoes and rivet them in.
Mark at RAPCO said he had NOS truss kits but I could never get a price out of him when I was trying.Just removed these truss components off the Goat. Well, that's three components. Just need to find the rest...
The eye bolts have been on the carrier for sometime. It took a serious amount of penetrating oil and the laws of physics to get those things off.
