    WW2 M26a1 tank retriever/transporter ???

    Thank you Thank you. There was one up here I tried to get away from a politicians son a decade ago. It's still sitting in rot so seeing this made my corona. One sat at a wrecker called Jasper Auto Parts near St. Albert, Alberta back in the 70's/ 80's. The gent used it to move grain elevators and...

    My M135 story

    Hey you're new here! Welcome aboard! Post military service M135 stories are awesome. Thanks for sharing. The guys with the long term use adventures can still teach us a lot about maintaining the trucks to get a long life. Adding a turbo needs a youtube 'how to' video. Did you take pictures...

    M135 S and M Build

    I know exactly what that is but already have a shirt so can I just tag along? It's cool seeing the jigs and parts coming together. One bite at a time, take it apart, paint it, reassemble and drive. The vinegar bath results are awesome. Keep paddling brother!

    G749 preservation

    UNbelievable ability. I don't have a lot of photos but after hooking up the Mattech towbar and night setting in, The M135 spaghetti strapped the 211 backwards onto flat ground, hooked up and was ready to pull. Handy little towbar Mattech but if a guy doesn't get the legs even where the pins...

    G749 preservation

    Spring is here the grass has ris', do you know where your filters is? After babying Goose in parades and displays all this time, I had to make her work a little last fall. When I parked her for the winter, she was coughing, spittin', barely able to crawl to the barn. When I told her last week...

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    I'm a green earth lovin' bald, cigarette butt trash pickin', anti-pollution MVironmentalist hippy, fulfilling a societal role, preserving the cultural memories of the very reason this continent exists , mostly, in Freedom today. I can't save the soldiers but I can save a representation of what...

    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    Google translation. У нас есть несколько новых военных двигателей, которые должны быть менее вредными для окружающей среды. Похоже, странная концепция, но это происходит. Мы добавляем дизельную выхлопную жидкость, некоторые автомобили имеют дополнительные функции в выхлопной системе для очистки...

    Carboarius' 1954 M211

    This runner is coming out of the M211 within the next few weeks. Th PO didn't tighten the TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES in the trrans pan before assembly. The M211 is sold, getting a Duramax and I'm keeping the 302......for some reason.

    constant "eeeeeeeee" noise

    Operations of old vehicles using 4 senses is almost a requirement. If you don't hear the noise, you'll smell the electrical, see the smoke, feel the heat and won't get to taste the grub at the end of the trip. Good on ya for keeping noises in the PM's.

    constant "eeeeeeeee" noise

    I carry a 4 foot broom stick around to diagnose noise. I thought pop's was crazy sticking the broom handle up to his ear then putting it near the spinning fan blades. A guy must be real careful but if you put a chunk of dowel on an alternator or anything with a spinning bearing....it will tell...

    M135 S and M Build

    Hey, I'm just a landscaper and certainly don't know a lot about mechanical. .......but if you're going to use wood for a power steering box, go with a hard wood like Oak.

    G506 Class 525 (G7133) restore

    That cab is just a piece of artwork. All the round metal, the harmony, balance, the flowing lines. I gotta find something round to work with. One of our seldom visiting Steel Soldiers recently took a museum based autobody class and he's all over a few new rust products. I'll dig up his...

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    Did we get the holes in the right place? The original mufflers we used for the template had a little difference in the hole locations. We used the first one that fit Goose well. It looks like yours fits like a Goose.

    CA law

    Sounds like in Louisiana the cops better be educated before they're let loose on the public, nice work. They may get taught a lesson from someone who's educated and a little less than happy to be pulled over. The message is the same whether it's being screamed or spoken softley. He probably...

    M135 Brake system question

    You're in Belgium and we have parts here across the pond. What do you need and how do we get them there? When shiny parts show up it makes brake repair simple. What truck do you have? Do you have pictures? We're trying to track what we can here...

    M135 S and M Build

    What's that big rectangle thing sitting on top of the 302. Looks like she's Cummin along! I just moved the M211 into Duramax project with a man that also has some mad fabrication skills. We're looking forward to those engine mount recipes and photos so we can see how it's done. Nice progress.

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    Hey there Oklahoma, good to hear your voi......good to see y.......it's good to read your typing. The Maintenance boys didn't introduce this until 1962 which is interesting. Did the U.S. keep injury reports from maintenance depots in a museum somewhere? If the G749 bit some guys in the 10...

    All Military Vehicles banned from road in Maryland

    My northern opinion is tiny so getting more eyes on this to those who are affected may identify things we haven't considered. This line for example...........NOT for daily transportation..........If one chooses to drive to work in their MV everyday , where's the harm? """""provides that...

    All Military Vehicles banned from road in Maryland

    Let's get that verbage locked down right here on the Steel Soldiers site. Does this bill make sense to most folks? Did it cause harm to an individual or group? Anything missing? I still want to know how we got here and who's name we put to it. This is part of our history and we are going...

    The best sounding deuce on the web. It's mine so the hearing may be partial.
