Nice workmanship. Pete

Thank you for this great response. Going in. Pete

Truck has not been used a lot in the past year. I pulled it out of the barn to recover a vehicle I got stuck. The area was at the top of a hill. MK ran good but started to loose power halfway up the hill. Turned around and drove back to barn but made it only halfway. It did seem to run better...

Replaced transmission, put engine back in (only to discover it has stuck rings), new springs, sand blasted and painted frame and body. Put in one new seat and got it running. Was ARMY jeep-no rust. Had firefighting stuff on it when I got it from Sparta. Body is clean but banged up. Pete

I did a four flush-out of the motor oil in my transmission when I first got it. I drained warm motor oil, then filled with Dex, then drove around till warm. Drained and did this 3 more times to make sure it was clean of motor oil. I have owned the truck now for 4 years and have had zero issues...

I have 72 acres in Lindstrom. Have two barns on it, a house and several trails through woods. On the north end of property, there is access to a 65 acre lake (fishing). Have about 5 acres of parking. It has a few trails big enough to get a 5-ton through-maybe 1/4 mile worth of trails. There is...

Made mine for M36A3 Pete

Have not built it yet. Have been building an expedition camper which made the 788 sit in the barn. Go to the Gichner website-they have pretty good drawings on these that show the internal spacing of supports. As far as mounting direct to frame-it will work. Make brackets that attach to the 788...

I will attend too. Pete

I have four crates filled with ballistic glass rated to 50BMG. They are from a company that was building MRAPS that went belly up. Each has a gun port and nice flange all around. I have donated some to local SWAT team vehicle. Pete

A3 is hot. Pete

Won a Humvee out of MN. Thought I would buy it as a spares vehicle. Have bought several trucks and never had EUC issues...until now. I use the form online, filled it out and hit print, but it did not go to the form. Instead, it printed what was on my computer screen. I call and ask what was...

I have owned an M36A3 for several years. Its not what I would call fast but it is "spritely". Perhaps you are starving for fuel-any white smoke. A common issue is the fuel pick up check valve in top of tank. It gets gunned up when the truck sits. Its an easy fix-take it apart and clean it-takes...

I would not tow a MK 48 FPU without it being coupled with an MK trailer. Thats an accident waiting to happen. Further, MK48's are great off road, but require lots of attention on road. I limit mine to maximum 50 MPH. If you do not have driving experience with an MK, it would be best to have them...

Was able to actually unload and examine my Sparta Humvee. Put a new set of 6TL batteries in here and she fired right up. Oil pressure over 50 PSIG and temps around 190 or so. Amp meter right on the green yellow edge but sometimes goes higher? Runs and drives perfect. She even has a functioning...

I had the same issue. Check valve was stuck. Pete

Sweet truck down under. Thanks for posting. Pete

Just picked mine up from Fort Mcoy. She fit on a typical construction trailer with little effort. Its an M1038 with good top with missing door. Frame still has paint on it. Bottom of body is dent free. Overall looks to be in great condition outside of what appears to be a bullet hole in the...

Fellow Minnesota guy checking in. I live in the St Paul metro. Pete
