Following our Covid Response and Awareness Program, visitors to the G749 farm bring a thermometer and check their temperature when they arrive. Already prepaired in our MOBB 4, Bio-hazard level 3 PPE, a hands on diagnosis can begin. With any indication of high temperature we evaluate all the...

What happens if a guy is hearing impaired? I smell a change coming. Taking that power source for the buzzer to a big red light on the dash would sure be less annoying. Is there some kind of legislation that states it needs to be audible? If it is law then I'd suggest that needs to be changed...

This went like a breeze so thanks Keppy for an easy out. Piglet is worthy of a bath......she turns over. This might be Piglets first bath. Dropped the cover and grabbed a little 4 ton jack about 10" tall. It sat on top of the cross-over bar and spun up under a bolt. I thought about dropping...

The M135 procedure was real easy so I'll share it in case it helps. The air side of the M135 brake system is drained before bleeding brakes so it's not bled under air pressure. The M135 brakes work even with all the air out of the system and air-paks are a week spot if not maintained. Hope you...

Check your nuts! I did a winter tire swap recently following bolt-up pattern and torque on every wheel, I'm positive. I had to post because I lost a wheel nut by the time we hit the farm 40 miles away. Checking your studs at the same time you're swapping wheels out is just good advice...or at...

We took a day off for some leisure at the G749 farm. What do any adult collectors do when they have some spare time? Practice their skills. One jeep would go disappear in the trails.....and the rest of us would would try and find it. We call it 'disappear and find'......very skill testing...

Gracious me my truck Piglet had a birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday Piglet. I knew our numbers were close but had no idea mine were identical, just mixed up. This one was delivered 6 /27 / 52 is 113500685 and was not treated well. If I remember math class our trucks are 99 units apart in 24...

Forgot I had these. I wasn't sure if you said truck in the box or chick under the fender so I put both up.

We'd sure like your 0-50 mph reading with that reb shifter. Here's a vid without the shifter but dropping in Hilly after 2nd to hang onto 3rd a little longer.....as per the manual.

I have one close to 586 so I'll get a look tomorrow. That's the 586th truck to come out of the plant so it's real early. Many were mothballed, cosmolined and put on blocks in 16 areas surrounding 16 nuclear target Cities so its military life could have been soft. The CFR, Canadian Forces...

Welcome aboard. How'd that REB shifter get in that truck? I'll just bet there are some cool family stories behind her history. It's a special truck with that cage and Mattech will tell us all about it. USMC-008 put the time into that document and he knows how much we appreciate him. I slip him...

That might be the answer I was looking for in my position not to use ATF. Is there a 30wt ATF? The manual for our G749 states that 30wt non-detergent oil is used in warmer temperatures and 10wt non-detergent in cold. If the warm climate fellas are using ATF in summer, would heat become a...

Taking us right back to the Templars with that number 13 aren't we? It's interesting to see it on the trousers and hear that story. I'll bet there's more to it. .....like 11 wasn't enough and 15 were too many? I was going to say who's counting but we just lost 2 bolts because Keppy's counting...

It's not easy cutting steel that had a purpose and might play an original role in another restoration someday. It's almost more fun to fab something up and try to fool the judges. However, they keep saying we can't take it with us. If it's ok, I'd like to share some of your photos with some...

You keep pulling me back through the Canadian research photos I've seen. ......I know I saw that wire cutter somewhere.....but where? I searched back through "Canada Cyprus" and hit "Images" and there it is. https://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/wars-and-conflicts/cyprus/ Your mitered...

Work smarter not harder. I like it. A guy can put an ear and eye on the engine while we're silently applying force, thank you. Did you run engines after they were seized and jacked back to rotation with hydraulics? The advantage of the jack would be 12000 lbs of truck sitting on the center of...

So I'm out in the front yard, enjoying the birds, when a sparrow flies into the tree over my head. The second I gushed with love.....the local Merlin Falcon came over the house and snatched that bird off the branch right in front of my face. Blessed with a rare sighting, thankful I'm not a...

Interesting search. I found a similar "Bomber Seat" made by the General Fireproofing Co. Well,...... I didn't find it but this guy did and put up some cool pictures..... it may not be a bomber seat but it's called a bomber seat. The floor pan is different and obviously the mount but it looks...

Watch for low wires.

I've seen that seat before. Do you have pictures of the bottom and mounting pattern? It's keeping me awake. The seat cushion looks wrong and the pan is deep enough I could be sitting on my parachute, or in my Rat Rod. I have a cool seat I'll share later but I searched the term "__everyplane__...
