Glad to see you finally got her. Have fun.

It probably drops either lime or flyash into the subgrade. It takes a lot of water to hydrate the lime and it becomes a very slimy mess. Hence the need for the monster tires, It does look pretty cool.

I had to cut out part of the firewall and I think I will have to adjust the pedal length, but all in all the brake wasn't that bad. I had a bad airpack on mine, so rather than build a mount for the air compressor, I just went with what I had.

59apache, I like that fold down spare tire. That is cool, If I can just figure out a way to do it on a 211. wikallen, I like your avatar, cool picture.

Thanks for the input. I am putting a 366 in with a Clark 5 speed. I had the drivetrain in a Chevy dumptruck so I am swapping everything into the 211. After I get the engine and tranny hooked up I will start on the dump bed. I am going to try the stock radiator. I don't plan to use this as a...

I am in the process of installing a BBC in my 211. I was wondering what you big block owners are using for a radiator. Are you using the stock 211 radiator and do you have overheating problems? I have to install an electric fan because of the offset waterpump on the tall block. Gunfreak...

I've been thinking about a door mount on the cab, but there isn't clearance to swing like the M37 mount because of the mirrors. I also thought about a mount that would swing down into a parallel position, you could use it as a step to get in. I guess there really isn't a good place for an...

Those are the two. Can i PM you?

Is there a steel soldiers member from Wellsville, Kansas? If so I would like to talk to you about the M135's. thanks

I have a 2' long piece of 22" diameter steel pipe to break down 20 inch wheels. I put the tire flat on the ground and place the steel pipe on the tire. Then I use my ford 7500 backhoe's front bucket to push the pipe down. Most of the time on the older wheels I have to anchor the hoe down on...

Thanks CSTAUP. The holes look fine and I don't see any cracks. I really appreciate your input. That is the great thing about this site, almost everyone is eager to help. I read this site everyday but rarely post. I get a lot of valuable information.

Thanks Papercu. I have an old set in the shed that still have the tires on so I have no idea what the condition is. Outside they look ok, one has some dings on rim, but otherwise look ok.

Does anyone know what a set of M151 Mag wheels are worth? I have searched the internet and haven't found a thing.

ArmyTruck63, I think you are right on the money. Thanks for the info.

My 211 eingine runs fine but it has a vibration in the transmission that worries me. It shifts fine but I worry about the reliability. I'm not into restoration, more into functionality. Last winter I took it out in the snow and ice and didn't like the way the front axle grabbed when idling...

I was afraid of that. thanks for the reply.

Has anyone ever modified a 211 or 135 by upgrading the drivetrain to rockwells, multifuel, 5 speed and an airshift T-case? I have a 211 that I love the look of. I don't want to mess with the 302, the auto or the sprag T-case. If I could find a donor M-35 with a shot body I was thinking about...

One other thing we need to remember is the potential for a large solar flare. A massive solar flare like the one in the mid 1800's would likely take down the entire electrical grid. This would end life as we know it in this computerized age.
