I'm using the Pyle 60 amp converter. The output is very stable and with 60 amps, I can use it to charge my separate 12 volt battery. I use this to run some small electronics, charge my trailer battery and power the electric breaks on my trailer. I only wish the output was adjustable. I would...
I had to drill out hundreds of rivets to remove the folding floors in my 934. We used a center punch which drove the pin out of the rivets and made drilling them much easier...
Press on, you have a really cool project there.
I turned mine into a camper. It's small but beats sleeping on the ground. I installed 12 volt LED tail lights next to the 24 volt stock lights. This way I can tow it with my M37 or a civilian vehicle. We have had a lot of fun with this trailer. Currently we are converting an M934 into a "motor...
How are they testing these vehicles? The "winner" is at 7,000 miles between failure? I'll bet if they tested these vehicle on roads in and around metro Detroit, all of these numbers would drop. My Ford F-250 has survived 11,000 miles so far without failure. I take it off reading to give it a...
Welcome aboard. So what's your second MV gunna be? I know, I know you're thinking "I'm not looking for another MV. We all said that once... In all seriousness, you're going to have a lot fun with this hobby and you have found the best site to support it.
I would not even consider it! I was darn near ripped off by an "out of country" buyer when my wife was selling her car. These guys sent a check from Chase bank that looked VERY real. We took it to our bank to have it checked out. The check was a fake! The scammer was going to have someone come...
Welcome to the disease... er, uh, I mean hobby. Yah that's it, hobby. I keep forgetting. All I can tell you is you found a great way spend time with some of the best people you'll ever meet. Welcome aboard!
Yes. The I used the bolts to hold the two pieces of angle together while I was dry fitting it. Once I was sure I had the correct drop, I welded them together. I just left the bolts in for extra "grip"... Drilling the frame was the hardest part of this installation. I used the top half of the...
class 5 hitch
I used a Curt hitch made for a 2007 (NOT 2007.5) Chevy. I dropped the hitch mount 3" and use an insert that drops another 4". This put the ball at the correct height that matched my pick up hitch. I also had to move the glad hand some, but that was no big deal. Sorry I don't...
I put a class five receiver on my 934. If you order one made for a chevy 3500 the width is right on. I fabed some drop brackets and bolted it up to the frame with 6 - 5/8" grade 8 bolts. I bought a drop insert to acheive the correct height for my trailers... Next I will add an electric break...
Oh boy did we have this problem! First off, get your carb " rebuilt" by Brooks Engin Service. Then try to improve your fuel. We mix a gallon or two of racing fuel to a tank of the junk they sell as "gasoline" these days. These old vehicles just don't run right on alcohol. This stuff boils at a...
I just brought home a 1981 M934. The only issue we know of is there is gear lube leaking out of the "front wheel lock in switch". this is the switch on the dash that engages/disengages the front wheel drive. After driving it home 1000 miles we collected about 2 quarts of gear lube. I'm pretty...
Chuck,
John Lind wasn't there this year. A lot of guys didn't show (that's why I won first place). I don't think John is comming to the Muster any more. If you watch the Greenfield Village site, you will see the info you need to register. I really enjoy that outing. It's always better when we...
Hey Keith,
I saw your truck and trailer at VanHoosen. Very nice stuff! My rig is a rat in comparison. The only reason I took a first place at the Motor Muster is because there was a weak turn out. Jim's WWII ambulance and my M37 were the only trucks there. There were about eight jeeps and...
