Hello all,
I'm looking for the part number for the above mentioned outer axle shaft seal. This is pressed onto the shaft and seals up against the steering knuckle. I buggered mine all to heck and need a replacement. Anyone have a part number or where to get them? Thanks.
That's so weird not hearing a motor running only the drive train and tires and the squeak of the body. Good job! Will be interested in how it performs on road when you get all the details worked out.
I use to have a neighbor who was a mechanic at a warehouse that used forklifts that had the civilian version of the M151 motor in them. Looking at that picture my gut feeling is that this is one such engine set up to run on other fuel sources. Maybe propane? The tow-motors he worked on ran on...
What I'm about to say is from foggy memory of working on these things 25-30 years ago and it's been a good 15 years since I owned one....but I thought the M151 floor between the seats has dimples for where to drill the holes for the pedestal mount and for the two legs that come back to hold it...
I agree with what other's have posted here. The M151 motor was designed as an industrial motor for Forklifts and Generators. It works well in the 151 because they aren't much bigger than a forklift. Load a 151 down with people gear and a loaded trailer and the peppy jeep becomes a tired dog...
Have you tried going to a different DMV office in another town? Go with hat in hand and a smile on your face and in a nice soft voice say "yes ma'am (or sir) I need your help" and see if you can get a sympathetic person to fix your problem? I understand that the California DMV is the "hold my...
Looks to me that someone (some people) took the military m211 and a military excavator and married them together. Now the bigger mystery is did the military do it or was it done in civilian life? If done in the military it was done in a unit and the unit figured it would be better to ask for...
Something to think about with your axles. M37s can break axles shafts on wet grass...Yes I've seen one do that. The grass was wet and when the driver gave it some gas and the tire spun the shaft snapped. Also, if you're going to repower to go 60-65 then you might want to convert to disk...
The Gm 6.2 and 6.5 diesels will fit in the M47/M43 engine compartment. You will have to make motor mounts of some type to put the motor in the truck. You will have to hunt down a manual transmission flywheel as HMMWV have automatics and therefor have a pressure plate and torque converter...
I have seen that truck several times over the years as I have watched the movie. I think it is just a 2WD Dodge pick-up of the same age as M880s. The AF used hundreds of them around air bases and they were just a civilian pick-up with a military data plate and painted blue. I like the...
I don't know how much I can add but if it was my choice I would go with the 331 and avoid the 5.7. The modern hemi's from my understanding have soft cams that can go south on you if you're not religious with your oil changes. Also going with the older motor means no need for the electronic to...
New Fiberglass hardtops go for close to 1K in price so if it is restored complete you may want to go a little higher. I would be comfortable at 500, but hey you can start at 350 and go up from there.
Well I don't have a G506 and I'm using my eyecromiter looking at pictures but it looks like they are about approximately 1-2 inches shorter than the pintle. Looking at pics the bed ends the bumper go out an inch or so beyond the bed but the pintle sticks out a little past the pintle. Sorry I...
There is a guy on Youtube his channel is JerryRigEverything and he is converting a HMMWV to electric in the same way your are doing the M37. Don't know if you've seen it or not, but I thought I'd mention it in case you want to compare notes with what he's doing.
Well if your going to be able to garage it in the future then my thought is to repair the top you have. Look into some type of gasket to seal the turret up when not in use and then park that thing in your new garage once it's built. Or not it's your truck.
