Not a Bit^h or a whine ( I am good at that though ) Some of us joined and have been around a while but do not post much. I have more to learn than teach. I am more than willing to help anyone in anyway I can but as I said most know more than me here. I joined and placed two adds one looking to...
Hi anyone have a source for a transfer case for a DUKW closer than the UK? Mine has a crack in the case and the two shafts that come out of the top are very loose. I thought it was the U joints but the seals and bearings on the top shaft are worn so bad it has about an inch of play. Thanks Eddy
The movie is now titled" Effects of War" but that can change it is about pre war actions and what led up to the wars. It starts with WW1 then goes to WW2 then korea and then Nam. It will be on Discovery channel in about 6 months. I am useing lots of my toys as I have some that fit most times...
Did a movie shoot last weekend and drove the old girl 60 miles away to shoot a movie all day then drove her home. Ran great but only did 35/40MPH and almost got rear ended three times even with the slow moving vehical sign on the back. Eddy
Anyone have a part number for a modern U joint that will work on the DUKW? I would think they would be the same as the CCKW but there is one more shaft for the winch that might be a different number. I finished the welding and paint and body work and with all the sandblasting I want to put new U...
Although it was made to go up to 45 mph when new my track with the org drive train will go about 30 mph now flat out and I would not want to go any faster. It might be because it is over 60 yrs old now but the suspension and brakes are not up to any greater speed. I would think the tracks would...
I still need some Bow corners if anyone has any. I sent Warthog my information but have not heard from him in over a month. If anyone has any bow corners that will help me with the M35 and Dukw I would realy be happy as there is a show in early Aug I want to take the trucks too. I am putting...
Wish you would have let me know you were coming through we could have done a coffee. If you do another trip let me know and if anyone is comming this way I can offer some help if they need it or just some tips on the area. Eddy
That motor has more power than the stock one in my Unimog and should work well. I have a M37 Panel that I am putting a Cummins and a 5 speed intofrom a 99 Ram truck. The stock motor was removed before I got it. Eddy
I ment to put it in the CCKW section as we do not have one for DUKWs but my bad eyes missed. I need the crane as I cannot lift the spare onto the DUKW and I cannot lift anything very heavy onto or into the DUKW. Even a full gas can is trouble for me as you have to lift it above your head just...
I am thinking of mounting it on the wood deck plates with a metal frame to hold it or maybe on the rear deck where the spare tire is. I need to be able to lift stuff from the ground and into the cargo hold. It is about a 7 foot lift from the ground and a 4 food drop into the deck. I would only...
Hi guys I was looking for a Miltary unit like this one in the picture. I am an old F$%T and pretty buggerd up and just cannot lift stuff into the DUKW. I want to mount something like this so I can get things in it without killing myself. Anyone have any suggestions so it will at least look not...
Warthog I sent you an email with the shipping info. The only spare parts I have to offer is a few Half Track flat armor bolts with the flat top. I had an add in the marketplace offering them for free for a while but only got one request and that was from Sweden. It cost $36.00 to ship 30 of them...
You should be able to find the parade on the net I did not take pics of the TV screen. Maybe someone from Boston is on the forum and took some. It looked like the whole team was spread out in 3 or 4 DUKWs. Eddy
