Glad to have you here! Yes we are picture junkies. By the way I live about 3 hours south of you in SC. Don't listen to plowboy he is just plain nuts!! :D Nawh he is good as gold!!

You need oil that is friendly with rubber and as I understand the air tool oil fits that bill. You don't need a ton of it. Maint manual called for removing the square headed plug on the back of the airpack and giving a squirt or two.

Purdy! I am I love with that airpack!

That's right! I have a mount on the front of my farm tractor that does the same thing.

So how did you make your tool? I could see taking a socket and welding some ears on it. Looks like yours worked like a charm!

Check out the M135 in this photo taken during the Tet Offensive:

Awh man! I'd like to find a canvas cab top. :mrgreen:

That's a bummer. It would have been easier to fix taking it off. Nice looking muffler. :mrgreen:

These are really noisy beasts to begin with. It sounds like a bunch of work to get rid of a small % of the noise that gets created. Go for it if you want to.

You might look to see if one of the U joints are frozen. They don't need to have play but do need to flex. I had a rear wheel drive car one time that would vibrate only at certain speeds. It had a frozen one. Those U joints you could not grease. Alan

I can't figure out what the point of the repeated dunking of that poor MUTT is about. All the fluids would have to be changed now. Not to mention that radio getting dunked. :sad:

This is nice!! Based on what USMC suggested I ordered some M923 windshield seals from Memphis the other week. I had time this morning while it is raining to pull down one of my spare windshield frames, lay one of the new ones against it and it looks like it will fit really good. A little...

Not sure why but they are called Stone Filters. I soaked mine in the gallon container of carb cleaner and then sprayed them with carb cleaner. Came nice and clean.

He does have it bad. But then this is his own first military vehicle. My first was a basket case M38A1. I loved it into a restored Jeep in 5 years. Now that I know, I should have looked for a better one to fix up. Ahh..... first loves! Sigh.

If you go that far to drop a V8 in there with all the pretty red wires. Mount an AC unit on the firewall and use the snorkel opening for the ducting! ;-)

What a gnarly looking clutch pedal set up. Another option I have heard of but not seen is taking a diesel engine and transmission from a panel bread delivery truck as the donor.

That would really make a statement. Who knows you guys might make it into an upcoming Road Warror movie!

Yes. Wheel lock up is very easy with the stock brake setup. If you are off road you can always count on it if you jab the brakes.

What's the name of that ceramic material? I have used Lab Metal before and once it sets it acts just like metal. It takes time but I have sanded it down before. Not sure how Lab Metal does with heat. Might look that up.

Rubber brake lines do go bad and it's not a bad idea to replace them. Just remember if you fine nice NOS lines they are just as old as these trucks. Find the place near you that builds hydraulic lines for equipment. They can build brake lined for you if you bring them a sample of each...
