    Oshkosh XM822E1 Petroleum Laboratory Trailer, Ft. Polk to Central MS (39083)

    Nice, I was a 92L in the Army for a while, after school they said these trailers were rare and that we probably would never see one in actual service.

    Pre Production 3-53

    NDT nailed it, a remote oil filter which sure would make changing the filter easier, leave it to the military to change it to make it harder.

    Filter looks good, I did the same with mine. I think you are on the right track.

    Pre Production 3-53

    Here is a rare photograph that I have in my book of a pre production 3-53 Detroit diesel engine for the Gama Goat. Can you spot the one item that is different from the production engine ?

    Roll call of thanks: Popacom, Bill has to be the most knowledgeable person I have ever talked to about the Gama Goat. He is a one stop shop for all things goat, he has dismantled more goats than most of us have ever seen and knows them inside out. He saved and sought out all the goat parts no...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2017 - September VOTE HERE!

    Inspired by Mark's Gama Goat project post I was trying to figure out how I could find one on a very limited budget. I recalled a fellow collector in NY who I remembered having one in his back yard in need of restoration. Of course it had been a very long time since I had seen it. It had been...

    Good job Tom, two complete oil pumps headed your way.

    Goat in tropical QLD

    Those backing bolts should be 5/16-24, be sure to back them off before installing the drums or they will crack the drum. Glad to see you are making progress, my brakes looked about the same. I have extra brake springs if you can't find any.

    I am officially naming my goat "REFORGER", not only for being "REFORGED" from the junk heap but for all those Cold War vets who served our country. The recent Cold War thread really hit home, some pictures of Gama Goats in service and I know a lot of them participated in the NATO REFORGER...

    Since the flange and drum have 8 holes I would say the transfer case maker, I think mine only has 4, I'll have to take a look.

    MEP002A alternator fuse

    Over by the oil fill on the sheet metal end housing you will see a push and turn fuse holder, I put a red circle around it.

    Packard Connectors Info?

    I use a Klein 1005, a regular crimper/stripper may crush the terminal too much.

    Packard Connectors Info?

    I have used them mixed, the larger wire can be tough to pull through the connector but with a little silicone grease it will work. The actual two parts that mate are the same size, it's just the hole in the rubber where the wire enters and the hole in the metal where you crimp are different...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Just saw a used rear canopy sell on ebay for $810.00 + shipping which would have been $50 for me. I guess some lucky goat owner has deeper pockets than I do.

    M134 Minigun build.

    I met the general at the Weare show this weekend, nice truck leading in the big truck convoy. His gun project was a nice attraction at the show, good job.
