    Been a long time. Reinstalling head on Dads M1028, what size tap do I need for the bolt holes to run through it?

    If you are just chasing the threads, not cutting new, I would recommend using a rethreading set instead of a tap. It just cleans up the existing threads, rather than cutting new ones.

    New to this... 1952 Studebaker 6x6 M35, need good advice!

    I have concerns, or at least questions, about fuel. You said multi-fuel running on gas. Are you running straight gas? That's not a great idea, as I understand it. Needs to at least have some oil in it to lubricate top end and injection pump. And, I believe, it's only to be used in an...

    T138 jumping out of gear - fixed

    I've not been in one of those, but something looks to be wearing. There does appear to be wear on the right side of the shift fork. I don't know how much is normal. Possibly some notching un the long splines on the shaft in the second picture.

    Pop up campers for K5 blazer CUCV M1009

    The Chalet came on the Chevy K5 Blazer. The Casa Grande was on the GMC Jimmy. Was a dedicated unit. Can be removed, but wasnt really designed to be. Only sold a couple years. 76-77, i think. There were also aftermarket units made by companies like FWD, Hallmark, etc.

    Trailering a M37

    If you aren't trying to stay strictly military, I would recommend something like I have. This one happens to be a 20 foot tilt deck (had ramps added later), dual 6k torsion axles, but there are a plethora of configurations. The key is the hitch. It's an adjustable height hitch, that allows...

    Looks good. Worst case, just drop the bucket, and I bet she'll stop pretty quick. Haha.

    Massey Ferguson 40 tractor

    I think it was similar to the industrial MF 40 loader. If so, I don't believe they had the pto or rear lift. It was just a straight loader Tractor. The yellow paint and the reverser type pedal on the right would seem to corroborate that theory.

    Hello from southern Missouri

    The M211/M135 ran a dual output transfer case behind an automatic transmission. I believe the CCKW was the same, but with a manual trans. Be it Chevy/GMC, or IH, its definitely neat. I enjoy all the old machines.

    Hello from southern Missouri

    Interesting. The axles look like they could be from a CCKW or one of the GMC trucks like the m211, m135, etc.

    Opening the hood

    Don't feel bad. You sound rather svelte to me. I've got a couple inches and over a hundred pounds on you.

    MEP-002A storage/running outdoors in rain/snow

    Definitely. I'm working with no shop right now, so just about anything, even a small one, would be nice. I keep looking at options based on what I need/want/can afford/can fit on my property. I keep creeping up to ever grander plans. Then I think about how this property isn't really the...
