I wonder why they call them screw driver type? I always thought the slot on top was to use as a core deflate/removal/install tool. I suppose the slot on this type is big enough to get a screw driver in. I know the kind you get from tire shops typically are pretty flimsy in that regard. In...

Hi savagebrother and welcome. You might check out the new member section http://www.steelsoldiers.com/forumdisplay.php?35-Requirements-For-New-Members. It will help introduce you to everyone. As to your problem, if it was me I would look at the idle setting on the carb. then probably look...

A ferry ride??---looks to be more of an ocean voyage. By the way, Echuca seems like a beautiful place to live from what I saw on the interweb. Did the transportation cost more than the Goat? Great recovery!

I have seen various parts for it on e bay and bought some myself. Leaking brake wheel cylinders is relatively common(at the wheel). rebuild kits available as well as new cylinders. Also master cylinders and the air packs. Hoses that run from the frame mount to the wheels. all pretty...

Howdy and Welcome from Colorado! Brakes may not be too hard to fix. If all the parts are there, kits to rebuild the system are readily available. Very interesting truck. Good save mate!

20" by 7.5" deuce rims without the lock ring. However, if you happen to have some extra 5 ton truck rims of the 20" 10 lug bud wheels flavor, the lock rings will fit them. There has been some variation in the size/design of the lightening holes over the years. If you look closely at the rims...

Stinkin Awsome! I see you like tracks. Love to hear how your project goes!

Looks the business! Good Job!

No matter the country, veterans feel the same. Thanks for sharing your story!

Making great progress. Hope to see all over pics soon!

If I understand --you want to confirm size/type of brake line threads? Where it connects to the wheel cylinders?

I am not 100% certain but, I believe the lug nut on the 2nd (outer) wheel acts like a jam nut to lock the thimble in place and keep it from backing off the inner wheel stud. Kind of a package deal. I would imagine many more folks here are more knowledgeable than I on this subject. Why the...

Howdy and welcome from Colorado USA. If you have the Technical Manuals (TM) for the Gama Goat you should be able to look up the part numbers in military format. Several suppliers or vendors that advertise here will likely carry what you are looking for. If not you can probably probably place...

Probably the best life "extender" is having something in your life that makes you think, challenges you and feeds a passion. At least that is my experience at 65. Its great to go to the workshop and be able to choose what to play with today. I think if I did not have that I would find it hard...

Howdy and welcome from Colorado. I have an M101 and like it fine. Let us know how your build progresses please.

I would love to go to an event but I am in the middle of some work on it and trying to build a barn. Summers are short up here so I have to hustle while I can. Definitely would like to come up to see yours.

yup. Anything underneath usually gets a pretty good coat of rust. Still seems like it has advantages over the original design.

No personal experience with this particular problem but the way Rusty Stud described it, the spring setup has one u bolt on one side of the spring and then two bolts going into the "pumpkin" to hold the other side down. on the pumpkin side the two bolts go into a blind hole in the pumpkin that...

Great to see it earning its keep. Built simple and tough. Hydro steering upgrade in her future?

Still a pretty cool vehicle and all of the green iron will keep you busy. Sounds like your set up to tow anyways. Changing engines will give you a good shot to inspect, lube r&r other things as well. If it ran it might be too tempting to road it before you went thru it thoroughly. Keep us...
