    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    Some progress to add. Here is some of the progress on the carb, the other pictures shown, are of the "Arctic Battery Booster Unit" I bought this summer, just so I could get the slave cable that comes with it. I will post that picture later. The Arctic Heater, is a brand new unit, never...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    My carb when I last ran it, worked fine right up to the assumed governor setting, and held there. Just a little more throttle than I used in the video. I think my problem lies in the acc pump or linkage to it area. The rest seems ok. I can't wait to run it again to see how it works after...

    NN # 2 is the correct part placement. I had another look to be certain. That's the fella.

    Carb breakdown Hello, and thank you very much for the pictures. I would buy you a BUCKET of lobster if it were possible. It would be great to sit and shoot brown stuff about these trucks...... Now I can see things clearly.The two vent pipes are both the same every way, so no...

    Carb sticking issues. Here is the photo of the plastic needle valve, the other pictures didn't show any detail you could see of the small tubes. Tomorrow night, I should be able to finish it of and maybe even attempt an engine test. I have a lot assembled, just two gaskets to make.

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    Carb questions In answer to both of you at the same time, the needle valve is indeed plastic,( ugly yellow ) and tomorrow night I'll be posting pictures to show both the needle, and the "dogleg linkage", which I had not touched until removing the carb and stripping it down. There was LOTS...

    .M 135 deuce engine Thanks! But today after installing the valve cover, I ran the engine and gave it a couple of short revs, and the throttle stuck almost wide open! After unhooking the transmission linkage and trying again, the same thing happens.So now I unhook the pedal linkage...

    Convoy Plate I know this is some time later, but summer tends to shift your priorities somewhat. I had been busy with other things, but now, I seem to have quite a bit of time to do the things I would have done sooner. In my travels this summer, I picked up a M135 cargo deck, complete with a...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    "new parts arrived" Just went to the mail tonight, and a package arrived with a convoy light plate!! This will be going on my M-207, once it starts going back together. I plan to make a few copy's for the other trucks. Too bad I can't fit the truck into on of those new fangled 3-d printers, and...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    Inkerman trip Just got back home and unloaded almost all the stuff. I couldn't take pictures of the M37 stuff because time wasn't on my side today. I have another load to get in a few weeks, he has an engine core, and cargo body for a M-135, with all the brackets for the troop seats...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    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...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...
