Varmits. My mistake! I had to get my camera out of my coat pocket and I put my pocket hardware down so I could fumble for the camera. Forgot it was in view in a couple of photos and did not mean to include those photos. (Have edited previous thread)

Back in the saddle (or on the engine stand again.) I took some photos this morning to appease all the photo hungry MVophiles who would rather see the real thing than have to imagine. We did get some ground freeze on the farm overnight, but this afternoon it is back to slop as we made the 60's...

Expect activity out of Ghostdriver shortly. Then engine is firmly bolted to an engine stand as of late yesterday. I can confirm that it was 64 today and mud abounds in the farm yard. Last night the overnight low for us was 40 degrees so we had melt through the night and sloppy mud surrounds the...

All I can say is :ditto::ditto:

43HT Yes, it would not be good to spread those disks around or get them bent. I am guessing the differences in the firewall filter would be that the porous fiber filter is a newer design used beyond some issue date as an improvement. I did notice that when we worked on all the tar like goo...

43 Half Tack (Still marvel over that find) Your tank rebuild looks really nice. It is interesting that you found a fuel filter in the tank to be the same as the one on the firewall. Ghostdriver's M43 tank filter is a sort of organic molded fiber porous sleeve. My M37 firewall filter is a...

They make a comb like tool with different spacing to straighten bent fins. It makes a big difference on a resale if the radiator looks new and straight. Sometimes there were two letter codes rather than numbers embossed into the tank and those would give you an application. The year date would...

To answer your material question, the T tube is copper. That radiator might be old enough to have the year of vehicle date embossed in the top tank. I once got into an argument with a buyer of a truck I was selling about the Harrison date on the radiator. He claimed the 57 chevy truck was a 55...

Gunfreak, Good to talk to you today. Attached is a photo of the front of my M220 when we had the grill off for some straightening and repair. You can see there are several inches between the stock radiator location and the grill. The radiator support can be moved forward with some...

Its probably not a 1949. The following is from Wikipedia The six prototypes of the vehicle were produced in early to mid 1950 based on the WC series Dodge vehicles used in World War II, with the first pre-production pilot vehicle rolling off the assembly line on 14 December 1950.[3] Many of...

That cab rear window is really interesting!! I see it has a bow handle and is a single glass. Mine is a double window with little metal tabs to grab and slide. Each window in mine pushes to the center to close and then slides either way to open. I will try to find a photo of mine to post. Might...

I have had good luck with Boyce. I can find others who quote cheaper, but Boyce does have what they say they have. I had a friend buy and engine from them and it was as represented and is running fine. ~~~ You might PM Gunfreak and ask him about his 6.2 engine that he is swapping into his...

As several have said, it differs from state to state. Here in Colorado we have titles to trailers of all sizes, but not for boats. Both are registered for tags or plates. It was somewhat of a culture shock for me when I bought a boat and trailer in Florida and found boats were titled, but not...

I think these led to the XM Pershing trucks so Cranetruck might have some knowledge on these. It looks like similar pressure systems to keep water on the other sides of the seals.

As I recall from the bib's that I had, the plug end is unique. The spade pattern and width was different from anything I had ever encountered. One of the reasons I never got around to rigging an actual electrical connection, was that I did not want to hack off the connecting wire end to get it...

Some where in all my crap I should have a pair of bib overalls that were insulated and heated with 24v DC. My wife used to complain about the cold during our M37 outings with no heater so I got them at a local Army Navy surplus store to try to keep her warm on winter outings. That was about the...

mdmorgan is right about cheap. My son bought one from GL auction and that day they sold from $1100 up to $1800 depending on condition. Then add the buy fee and taxes not to mention the SF97 and then title costs.

Maddawg, Like I said, the stock batteries are insanely expensive. The "close fit" sizes are also less demand batteries so they tend to cost more as well. The military 6TL's and 6U's are also expensive. Rather than use four 6TL batteries, we use two 8D's in our deuces and 5 tons. They fit...

Ghostdriver is about finished with training her new employees. I think the plan is to pull the engine in the next few days. All the parts have arrived for the camshaft replacement.. Ghostdriver intends to follow somehow on the bullet holes-combat theme after she gets her M43 running. On the...

Vermont Deuce Driver Thanks for the application! That will make it a snap to redo my M37 when I bring it back out of the weeds again. 98Taco3 The group 31's are slightly larger than 27's but they usually taper at the bottom so they will normally fit in the same tray. We find 8D's fit...
