    Detroit 2-71

    My brother has a 1-71 generator, in like new condition, (10k watts). My dad had it when we were kids, (that's 50 years ago!), and I think it was no new then. My dad had the forethought to get all the spare parts particular to a single cylinder 71 series engine, such as head gasket, crank, etc...

    Best Engine Oil?

    As long as you meet the grade and spec's of whatever the TM recommends, brand doesn't make much difference. Related story: Ten years or fifteen years ago, I built and drag-raced a "funny-bike". Kawasaki, 450 hp, fuel injected, alcohol, supercharged, 11 slick, The bike went 165 mph at 8.20 on...

    1943 German Army BMW R75 w/sidecar and trailer. 1/2.

    Is that bike the same one that was just at Lodi? That particular one was a real BMW, with two trailers.

    Alright, I'll start. There is Idaho Motor Pool. He is a dealer, but has quite a parts pile laying around. Call first. There was a guy in Ephrates Washington, Larry Tomer. (He might have passed away by now) He had piles of Goat, Duece, and Humvee stuff. There is also a guy in Nampa, Idaho...

    353 detroit diesel

    Alex's (Idaho Motor Pool) are NOT Goat engines. However, Dana, at Army Surplus Warehouse in Idaho Falls had a couple of crated Goat engines awhile ago. Call and ask for Dana.

    New guy from central Illinois

    Welcome! I'm a former Metamora (right outside of Peoria) resident. I still have family there, and visit about once a year. Every trip I make, I always look around for anything OD, as I really didn't get the OD bite until after I moved to Idaho. Then I turns out a fellow SS member lives...

    TOW missle system for M151 MUTT

    A good friend of mine here in Caldwell has a TOW Mutt. It is as close to perfection (and completion) as can be--with the exception of the actual launcher. He has every mount, bracket, strap, etc----but that darn launcher is virtually impossible to find. He really lucked out when he found it...

    What is the best Trailer for the Goat?

    I'll find those pictures. Give me a few days. Now I've darn-near talked myself into it! The only issue would be the rear carrier would still be relatively heavy. If a guy removed the rear steering unit and related linkage, it would help. It would be neat for show, but I think that's about...

    What is the best Trailer for the Goat?

    There was that guy with the real German last name (to which I have forgotten), from southern Cal (I think) that took a Goat rear carrier and made it into a trailer. When it was atached to a Goat, it just looked like an extra long Goat. A rather neat idea. Not historically correct, but way up...

    Newbie eating an elephant

    Install a VIC-1 system, that away you can talk to the passenger, and retain your hearing. Forget about another muffler. It's the nature of the beast. I have walked in your shoes. I had to go through mine and even though it was a long knuckle-bustin', frustrating, process, in the end it was...

    6x6 Willys Jeep

    When I was a kid growing up in Central Illinois, near Peoria, my dad would drag me to these things called "thresherman reunions". I was about 14, in the late 1960's, and had other things in mind. I hated going. We could always tell where they were, because the towns were usually 5-10 miles...

    CAMP DELTA MVCC, Ca

    The usual Idaho guys will be there. There has been a few health related issues, so things will be a little different. But, we'll be there.

    Idaho motorpool

    I was there a couple of days ago. Alex had (and might still have) some serious computer problems. He is alive and kicking, still doing business as usual. Give the site a litttle time to get the gremlins worked out. In regards to Idaho Motor Pool, if anyone ever needs anything right now, or...

    Paint stripper product review

    Admittedly, no pic's, but please allow me to tell ya'll about my recent dabbling with a specific paint stripper. My daughter-in-law works at a local paint store. They were doing an inventory and discovered 4 or 5 gallons of paint stripper rat-holed. They figured it had been forgotten about and...

    Hmmm this looks oddly familiar....

    I wonder if it's going to be hard to find seat cushions for it?

    Primary fuel filter woes.

    Gentlemen: I hAve a 1968 Kaiser M54A2C. I haven't had it long, and it's time for a filter change (oil and fuel). Here is my problem. (Let me interrupt myself, I tried the search, but my web-fu must not be very good) I was given Fram 3512's for the secondary fuel filters. The old ones were...

    Mystery Antenna Base

    I've seen (and have) about every radio antenna nmount for a MUTT, and upon as close as inspection as I can tell from those pictures, that isn't a GRC mount. Not for a MUTT anyway. Maybe Canadian, maybe Israeli, but I don't think US.

    New Guy from Illinois

    I always forget something after I hit the button......... There is a M103 trailer for sale, in real good condition but lacking the lunnet, in Secor (or maybe El Paso-I don't remember which). Both towns are small enough a guy couldn't hardly not find it.

    New Guy from Illinois

    For you guys near Peoria, there was a 5 ton at Rich's junk yard in Spring Bay. My Brother, who lives in Metamora, said it was there last time he drove by. There used to be a WC52 in Henry. It was there 30 years ago when I went to the motorcycle hill climbs (do they still have those?), and...
