ALCON: Moved to PA for the next 18 months to attend school... dragged my 53 with me here to have a little touch of home. Recently she has been shutting down after running for 25-30 minutes when I get into stop and go traffic. The weather here has been hot and humid and until I arrived here I...

ALCON: Have put this project on hold again as I just relocated to Carlisle PA to go to watchmakers school .. put all back into storage but managed to drag my M37 with me so that I would have at least one MV to play with here in PA.. School will be 24-26 months and unfortunately I will not have...

Rusty just relocated to Carlisle PA for 18 months of school ... just a short drive from here to Middle River and I would be more than happy to get over for a few weekends and assist you with your project ... finished my M37 restoration last Jul .. and even shipped here from WI so that I could...

Papabear, it was great seeing you and the gang Saturday on our way to Florida. Thanks for the pizza and of course the conversation. Julie enjoyed listening to the chatter and found even Marvin's more than questionable stories humorous. We hope to see all of you again soon. Its always nice...

Thank you for the advice and pointers ... Another reason I appreciate Steel Soldiers!

LOL, alright Frank .. Chu Hoi(sp) I surrender ... No attempts will be made to talk George (The Owner) into different skins.

When I was stationed with my Armor Unit in the late 80's (I was the CO) all of our MUTTS had hot water heaters .. Would admit that on rainy cold days that heater came in pretty handy many times even without the side curtains installed :-). The 151 heater looks pretty straightforward regards...

My bud has been all over it these last two months and the results are excellent .. other than the choice of tires by the owner (Myself, my bud and several others that hang, thought that the tires look a little to wimpy for this old Jeep). Jeramie, has a little clean up to complete the project...

PB, LONESOME .. Julie and I are heading to school in PA at the end of the month. We will be gone approx 12-14 months and I will not have an opportunity to work on my MUTTS or any other projects as I will living in an apartment sans work space. That being said, I am dragging the M37 with me on...

ALCON: Thank you for all the help! Lucked out and was able to source parts from a local gent (2 Hours Away). Picked up 2 Rear Seats Complete, Top Bow set Complete, Complete Heater With Switch and Ducts, Front Seat Cushions, 2 Nice Radiators, 5 Decent Tires on Rims, some other small odds and end...

Rosims, that's a "Spiffy" Set-Up :beer:

Here are those pics (Springs are very well reinforced)... appreciate all the input and pics, Thank you ... the webpage to the fire-jeeps was very helpful:beer:

M16TY, that's a roger ... will get some shots of the springs to.

Kevin, I'm thinking that your Differential Drive Units need to be cleaned up as they are binding .. the drive units have a spring and bracket that slides back and forth to close and open the pulleys depending on which way the Gunners Cadillac is rotated. Any binding will drag on the motor and...

ALCON, no rear step but that makes sense as there are holes in the frame at the rear for something to be mounted there! If anyone has a pic of that rear step it would be greatly appreciates as we could FAB one up in a heartbeat. Will provide an update with pics as my bud sandblasted the frame...

PB it was great seeing YALLLL Friday .... Was sorry that you could not stay as Julie and I were looking forward to catching up with you , Tony and Troy over a prime rib dinner, ...We will look forward to seeing the CAMO group this spring when we head down to FL to visit family. I really...

Finally got my M151A2's home after sitting for a couple of years down south. Purchased from a private collector in 2011. Will stick them in storage here for now and start on one of them this spring. All in all they are in acceptable shape, uncut and fairly complete. I have some extra parts...

Kevin that's it ... you may find that there are different colored shims under each trunnion block where each trunnion mates with the rest of the turret .. they were most likely used to level out the trunnions when installed on the turret. I had yellow and black shims on mine.. the colors...

Kevin, I used my small engine hoist to remove and reinstall my trunnions. I use a 2 Ton Goodyear hydraulic hoist that I picked up at Sam's Club back in 07 and it folds up very easily for storage. I started work on the right trunnion. Stripped off my inner cover and two of the M2 mounts so that...
