I’m finally going to replace the fan belts. I’m tired of the screaming! Problem is, I can’t seem to find the civilian belt part numbers. I’ll cut to the chase: can you give me the correct civilian belt part numbers? I’d prefer the Gates part but I’ll take anything at this time. Many thanks for...

That little trailer would definitely fit the bill. Not too big, just big enough. There’s a National Guard museum here in Cheyenne. They have a 155 cannon on display. I’ve thought of offering to tow it in one of the CFD parades. Not sure they’d take me up on it... What kind of tank is that? Not...

Pictures of the installation of the fifth mount. In the 4th picture is a close up of the stack. The 800 series plate is against the frame. Since the frame has raised rivet heads, I reamed out spaces in the bottom of the plate so it can fit snug against the frame. The top plate has two spacers(?)...

In.

Update for today: got the 800 and 900 series adapter plates drilled and installed. Also got holes drilled in the big mount plate that all other parts are bolted to. It took an excessive amount of time to get everything just right. Everything is now installed and will be bolted down tight as soon...

I’ve got a bunch of the digital TM’s for the 800’s. There’s a bunch of similarities between the M39 series and the 800’s. The 900’s are completely different.

We had some nice weather so I took the opportunity to get the 5th mount closer to being attached. The original 5th mount had a set of adapter plates, which gave a solid mount to the frame. In an attempt to make stuff work, I have a 800 series set of plates and, along with the hitch, a set of 900...

Now that’s a good looking install!

Probably about 50 or so. Mostly yard sale finds.

Now that’s a proper TM! The TM’s we have are severely lacking in these details!

my radio install photos. A couple points to ponder, eye r a hillbilly. I try for functionality then appearance. The boards are installed under the radio mount in order to create a sufficient space for cooling and in case water gets into the cab.

I installed an AM/FM/Cassette player in my M35A2. I had a spare military radio mount lying around so I installed it under the passenger seat, which already has mount holes and rivnuts. I installed a 750 watt inverter to convert 12 volt dc to 115 volt ac. It powers my LED Christmas lights. I’ll...

Thank you, I will get one drawn. I need to get that drawing posted. So much to do... I haven’t gotten enough time as yet to do an in depth troubleshooting. Once Toys For Tots is over for the year, I’ll focus more on getting “The Beast” up and running.

I also posted this under “Strange Part”. I think I’ve got these narrowed down to Gama Goat drive shafts. Fairly certain they’re made by Rockwell. The coupling end of the assembly is physically identical to parts in the M561 -20P and -34P parts manuals. The stumbling block I’m hitting now is part...

Thank you. I’ll check the manuals and see if I can find them.

I was looking for something different and came across a section of drive shaft very similar to this drive shaft. It’s for a M561 Gama Goat. I’ll dig a bit harder in the book and see what I come up with.

I’ve been to the museum 2 or 3 times. I’ve also been to the Smithsonian Air and Space and it’s then support facility, the Garver Facility. I’ve been to Pensacola, which was outstanding, a couple three times as well. The Warner Robbins museum is very well laid out. I got there just once but I’d...

Try Eastern, Boyce and/or Memphis. Their websites are fairly easy to find.

Time for an update:got all the wiring installed. I’m having to go back and de-bug some of the connections. Yesterday I confident that I could attempt a start, so I powered up and hit the start button. It took a few revs to kick over but she ran okay for a truck that been sitting for years. Today...

I wish I were in your position. I have the time but not so much money. Plus, I’m in Wyoming, which really puts a kink in it.
