    ALternator Leece-Neville 3002AVC

    Hello Christian. While I'm sure there are people on SS that can help you with this, the 151 activity on here is pretty light. If you don't get an answer, I'd recommend checking out the G503 or G838 sites for help. Guy

    M211 to new home

    Hey guys. Thought I would share this quick story. A friend of mine picked up an M211 this past weekend. The truck has been sitting for around 10 years. The gas tank had been removed by the previous owner and needs some TLC. My friend bought a gas tank for an outboard motorboat and an...

    Good news! She runs! I replaced coil, condenser, plugs and plug wires this morning. The carburator had nuts and seeds laying on top of the throttle valve. I pulled the carb, held the throttle and choke open, blew it out with air and hit it with carb cleaner. Put it back on. Rigged up a gas...

    M-151 A2 windshield on a 151a1

    "S" hook here (both sides). My ratchet strap hooks are to large in diameter to fit the holes, therefore, the use of the "S" hook. You'll want to make sure your hook is as big as possible as there is a lot of pressure on the hook. After installing a new rubber seal, some people do this...

    M-151 A2 windshield on a 151a1

    Hello Christian. I use two tie down staps on each side of the windshield. I use an "S" hook in the brackets that the top support hooks in. Hook the other end securely to the body or air lift bracket on the rear wheel. Tighten the straps applying EVEN pressure to the windshield. Assuming...

    I barley started to turn the pipe wrench and suddenly heard the sound of diesel fuel shooting out the plug holes and hitting the hood. Oops, should have had a rag over the holes! Other than that surprise, the engine rolls over nicely.

    After cleaning the jeep out, I pulled the plugs and poured diesel fuel down each cylinder. First plug I touched broke off at the base but this was removed with an easy out. After letting this soak for a bit, I put a pipe wrench on the crank pulley bolt and turned a small amount. Great, it's...

    So a little back ground on the Jeep. A guy I work with has had the jeep around 8 years. He acquired the jeep when a family friend passed away. This gentleman was into surplus. When I brought the jeep home, it was loaded with (mostly) M151 take off parts. All of the tops, doors and side...

    New to me MB. Frame number puts it at a late '45. Engine number falls within the range of the frame so could be original to jeep. Body is shot. Engine turns over, going to see if it'll run. From the little bit of searching I did, the top appears to be for an M38. This is my first WWII...

    Underbody repair kit question

    This is the end cap repair. Note how ours fits the crossmember properly. No excessive gap like the original kit part.
