It should have a locknut, which one might surmise is now not doing its assigned duties.

Welcome from a few miles away-Caldwell. You are aware of the IMVPA, aren't you? There are a handful of members in Caldwell, a few in Nampa, and a gaggle in Ada County. Stop by and see Alex at Idaho Motor Pool, at exit # 3 on the interstate. Tell him I sent ya'. He has tons of trailer and...

THANKS! (BTW, the Riverfest withered away and is history) Now Big Jack Armstrong (The radio DJ) has a huge get-together early in July. It has street rods, trucks, 100' drag races ( My 5-ton against a GPW last year) and everything else you could imagine related to wheels, and engines. Scale...

Ladies and Gentleman of the jury........ I have an M116A2 trailer. For whatever reason-I restored it, and it didnt't turn out too shabby, if I may say so myself ( I know, how hard is it to restore a darn flatbed trailer.....but I digress.) How many people do you know that restores a trailer...

AND it must be rotated properly. I was taught to rub the bridge of your nose (where your glasses rest-if you wear glasses) with your finger and rub that into the connector on the O ring. The oils in your skin lube it just right. I have also seen numerous LS454's with different...

The speaker should be a LS454. (An LS166 or the newer plastic one will not work.) The coax cable should be a CX1773 ( from my archived chronologically advanced memory), the cable that changes the MX 6707 is a CX-4722. When you change frequencies on the RT246, you should hear a clicking sound...

With all due apologies, awhile back I inquired about needing info on a radio/intercom system for a friend that WAS going to buy a Ferret. He bailed out, but only after someone here told me they had a complete unit. I have since deleted all of the messages regarding that, and now discovered...

When I go back to visit family near Peoria, over the years I have discovered I have more MV's in my yard than their entire county, and probably including the surrounding counties as well. I asked my brother in Metamora, he said no clubs that he has ever heard of around there. (Oddly enough, a...

And let us not forget, the arms have to maintain the capability to return to straight, as in after loading a torsion arm with energy and twisting it, after removing the engery, it has to go back from whence it started. Welding is more than likely going to affect that. Torsion arms take constant...

I would reckon those are made out of the same type (and temper) of common car axles. A lot of people don't realize it, but car axles have a "grain" much like wood. They are designed to be strong in the right directions considering the force applied. Probably a cast steel. When you hit it...

That Cummin is considerably heavier than the original engine. Can you feel the difference in weight up front?

I need an "Antenna Bracket Assembly", #SC-F-446392. It is an antenna mount. It's for my Gama Goat, but appears to be a mounting setup for a plain ol' fashioned AS-1729 antenna, so I'm hoping it's a relatively common thing. I simply cannot find anything by this number. My web-fu didnt help much...

Thanquez!!!!!!!!!

Once upon a time while I was visiting internetville, I saw a picture of a Gama Goat with an unusual antenna mount. The antenna itself was the common AS1729 VRC, along with the MX6707 matching base. The unusal part was specifically where it was mounted. The antenna appeared to be mounted on the...

State laws vary, but in many states it is legal to pull more than one trailer. I have an M151A2 that I commonly pull an M416 AND an M762 with. ( I found an M762 that had a rear pintle mounted. The early M100's and MBT'S had a depot-level modification to put a rear pintle on and a guy could keep...

A friend of mine recently fell into a ferret fro darn-near nothing(!!!!). The only problem is the radio system was removed. He says the remaining wiring is still intact (meaning whoever took the radio/intercom stuff out, didn't just start yanking wires.) My question is, the ferret is a 1962...

The data tag on the dash should say M561, or maybe M792 ( I think) for an ambulance model. There are numerous things to look out for, such as does it run, and how good? Brakes are a common issue, steering boxes and transfer cases are an usual issue as well. They are a very labor intensive...

My God, if I only was computer'd savvy enough to post pictures!!!!! I have a whole Gama-goat full of stuff. ( And that's only one rig.)

When I bought it, drove it home, and every time I take it anywhere. I should say there have been times when the goat itself wasn't the focus of the attention, but all the radio stuff in back were. Either way..............

WillDaBeast69, next time you're out and about, can you drive by the Pekin Gun shop and see if the owner still has the old searchlight in the back of that duece? The last time I was visiting it was still there, and the owner didn't know if he wanted to sell it. That trip I was driving my car, but...
