It’s installed. Not sure how sturdy it is compared to the original. From the outside, it looks okay, IMHO. Pic:

Been diligently trying to create parts for the pintle hook. The parts I have: the hook with all the little pieces, the spring, the washer, the nut (huge!), and one bushing. Missing are the second bushing and the front support. Neither of my replacements will ever win a beauty pageant but the...

I have several trucks, most are 24 volt. Take a wire, attach it to the left battery negative terminal. Get a second wire, attach it to the right positive terminal. Attach the positive wire to the pump wire. Using the left wire, touch it to the case of the pump. It’ll kick over if it’s at least...

Did you get the email I sent?

Thank you!

Sweet!

I got to watch this one!

Still interested?

Nice looking truck👍

Got a couple questions: how far back do the G506 bumperettes stick out? Also, how thick is the metal of the G506 bumperettes? I have a pair of M211 bumperettes that fit on a G506. Just need to do a little adjusting to get all 6 bolts installed. Then remove the extra metal.

My apologies for delaying getting back with you. I’ve been up and down with back pain issues. Tomorrow I will get one out, shoot you the pics and confirm it’s what you are looking for. Again, apologies. Jeff

I’ve been using the pic to help guide my hammer. This picture more clearly shows what I need to do. The TM pictures I’ve previously seen aren’t very clear. I’m not sure where those pictures came from. Figure 117 of TM 9-805, dated 30 December 1943 is fairly clear. It shows the same setup as...

Getting there… need to fix the radius on the RH (up in pic) attachment point. Little by little I’m getting there. Not sure if I’m going to swap my fixes with factory parts. After all the work… I’ll have to think about it. Pics:

Once piece has been eluding me: the pintle hook front support. Item D in the picture. Time to get inventive. I scrounged up a chunk of metal (probably steel) and figured it could be made into the front support. Got called away before I could get pictures. Question, does anyone have a picture of...

Welding is not necessary. I came up with a different plan. It’s a bit long winded and complicated so I’ll just give the short version. I needed a pipe or tube that fit over the pintle hook shaft. In addition, it has to fit inside the pintle spring and have a feature that holds the spring in...

I dug around in my scrap pile and found some old pipe fittings that might do the trick. After much cutting, filing and hammering, I think this might work. Just need to do a bit of welding. Pics:

I’m going to have to scrounge into my unbelievable pile of miscellaneous stuff. That’s a good idea. It’s better than the ideas I came up with: machine one out of a billet of steel or forge(?) one. Problems with my ideas: I don’t have a milling machine to make one, nor do I have the materials...

The prices of these pumps are crazy! $650.00 +/- a buck or two! That’s nuts! So, with that in mind, $250.00 each. I tested them and both work. I don’t know if they are NOS or gently used. Let me know what you think.

Got a pintle hook assembly off of eBay. Took it apart, sandblasted all the years of accumulated hack off of it. Started putting it back together. I hope to primer it in the next couple day. After that, continue with the right rear spring and shock assemblies. I’m still missing one of the...
