Merle, looking at your pictures, I'm curious...you must be a man of comfort....is that a sunshade umbrella base sitting on the bumper to hold up an umbrella like would be used on a picnic table? If so good thinking the sun has been a little intense lately.
Putting something in front of the...
While this isn't fel-pro part numbers...I'm not sure if Fel-pro even manufacturers gaskets for the 302 except where the cross to a 270 or other similiar engine groups. A company called Best Gaskets does, they can be found on ebay, or their distributor list is here-...
I found the compressor belt to fit well length wise, but width wise the belt on the list was pretty wide. I ended up using a b45. A b46 would also work. I'll take a few pics tonight to show what I'm talking about.
Well Saturday saw us saying our good byes to Paul and family. We had a great time, got some good family times and trips in. I haven't had time to sort through some video, I'm excited to say we got the 211 running and even driving! Saturday was an early morning-we were tearing around the pasture...
Thanks Gentry, I'll keep that in mind! My goal is to initially get the 211 going, then after I would like to take the 135 and 207 and build a 135. The frame on the 207 is lengthened, so I'll probably look to build on the 135 frame. Glad to hear you are gonna be able to finally get back on top of...
The problem is I'm always impaired one way or the other when I text/post-usually mentally! Well another busy day...yesterday we got "woody" home today it was the Canadian m207 home-"stretch"-with the stretched frame. No problems whatever so ever-well other than Paul about getting rattlesnake...
They made it and we are having a ball. We are doing some fun family stuff, but that doesn't mean we didnt make time to sneak off to make a quick recovery!
My first crack at ordering a bunch of stuff to get the m211 going-Dang, this list is handy!! Its nice to have a place to be able to reference parts and get the consumable parts coming. We have some great Vendors still holding onto parts for these. Before I got my 211 all my research showed parts...
thad, glad to hear your back in the fighting ring. Hopefully things will go a little better for you coming up. So you are driving to the midwest to pickup your truck?
In my haste I ruined the brass fitting that screws in the engine block and the compressor coolant hose screws into it. It is a 3/4"-18 inverted male flare x 3/8npt. Parker part# 249IFHD-8-6. I believe the fittings into the compressor are the same.
Just gonna let everyone know USMC will be up to Montana to visit the week of July 4th. We plan to work on the 211, hopefully find time to recover the m207, and m135. And basically work on the G-749. Anyone is welcome to join us. We have one day when we are going to Yellowstone to play tourist...
I was digging through some of my WWII manuals and jeeps stuff and look at what I found. I'll have to read and digest some of it when I get A minute. Also found some info on Clark and warner transmissions
Looks obviously to be manufactured 11 of 1944, so the good thing about that is it locates that down to a vehicle used during that period. read a little on CCKW's and I don't know enough to speak intelligently about what belongs with a cckw and what doesn't. I think the good thing is we have a...
We used these in the shop the most. It would break over the road and tractor beads, so can't see why they wouldn't work well on a deuce. This is just an example with a decent pic...
Gotta love that kind of stuff. Whether you tear it down or not, I would highly recommend you prime the engine oiling system before starting her up. To do this youll need to check the rotation of the rotor when engine would be running(find out which way the engine turns over when running, turn...
