Contacted Pam. I inquired about material and turn around time.
"The minimum order quantity is 10 and the turn around time is about 8 weeks. We would use the green 60" wide cloth, coated nylon per MIL-PRF-2069F, Type F, Class 2. She is going to send me a pic tomorrow of the color. I'll post more...
Is there a reason why the Goat didn't come with a Tach? Has anyone added a tach to their Goats? I found the tachometer port on the Detroit but wondered what a guy would use for a the cable? Just need to cross reference a part that a MV uses.
Carrier Air/Hydraulic Line Removal
Today, I had a chance to go out and remove the two tubes on the forward portion of the carrier. I removed both the Air and Hydraulic hard steel lines along with the two hoses that connect the tractor/carrier. As you can see by the pic, the AIR line tube was...

NOS USGI Windshield Washer Kit
One of my ongoing issues with the MV design was the lack of windshield washer kits. I have installed these kits on all my deuces and am planning on outfitting the Goat with one as well. I know these kits probably came out after the Goat was cycled out of the...
M561/M792 NOS Winch Kit in Crate
In my search for Gama Goat parts, I went through all the big parts and equipment dealers. I started turning my attention to fellow SS for parts. I was perusing SS and saw a local PNW SS was online and remembered he had had a Gama Goat once upon a time. I knew...
