M135 learning curve As Mick Jagger says, "Jumpin' Jack flash it's a gas, gas, gas. It's great seeing another new guy go at these trucks so let's sit down and open up those manuals. I am no mechanic so not offering that kind of advice but it's mostly covered in the manuals. At one time...

You have our attention! Credit to the T's from MLU for the photo. There is still a bunch of work to do on the gauges. .......Just wanted to add that we must do some reading on potential radiation hazards with gauge packages before you dismantle anything...... You may need more gauge parts...

G749 Farm Twice the Fun We've been wildly occupado it seems. Planes, trains, automobiles, parades, parts, tunnels, bunkers, research and air raid sirens keep me busy when I'm not on the toilet. I gotta make time to get down south again. Those pictures you sent just made me miss your place more...

P4 Preservation It's only been 4 years, where did everybody go? After selecting the storage location for the P4 years ago we had high water tickle her boots so pumps were needed to keep her dry last spring. Not many pics to share trying to keep the wheels straight but we did get Jellybean...

That dataplate looks like it's been rusted to the dash for a long time. There is a 2nd number stamped on the passenger side of the frame behind the front passenger side wheel and it should read 113505615. It's hard to see unless the frame is clean. It'd be nice to get the engine running to...

G749 Preservation Support Team Goose took another Canadian Veteran for a tour last week and it wasn't just another Veteran. This guy knew Goose the M135 better than Goose the M135 knew Goose the M135. Twenty six years of twisting wrenches on these trucks wasn't enough to keep him from knowing...

A few of us don't feel so lonely anymore. Get the fans, heaters or dehumidifiers on it. Insurance tried to clean 4 of my vehicles from my shop fire. After a few months the wipers, signal lights....things with yellow metal in them gave out, slowly. Everything had to be scrapped. They washed...

My jitterbugs are rumbling. Is there a number stamped on the passenger side of the frame behind the passenger front wheel? About 16 inches long with 3/4 inch numbers? The wheels are odd and don't look like the correct offset for a M135. Obviously they could have put different wheels on it but...

Not sure about big red but ole' yellers may be worth scrap value. Or,..... a short fat balding guy may have removed the spark plugs every year, turned the motors, kept the critters out of the holes and replaced all the brake parts just before storing them. They could be drivers. There is an...

Walk us through the symptoms in more detail. You say it starts up and idles. Can you get a full range of RPM when it's sitting there? Does the motor sound strong through all ranges of RPM when the truck is parked? An engine that isn't producing power while under load but runs fine just...

2018 sept 12 snow 2018, Mid September snowfall in Central Alberta. Too early and too cold.

Deuce on Canvas This one is a good size and I think I'm in it for $500.00. Send Gerard a picture of what you want and a suggestion on size to get a price.

Early Deuce Painting Early Deuce in oil instead of dripping oil. I was sent this preliminary sketch and asked if I wanted to make changes. When we talked about doing a deuce painting I asked for his artistic freedom with respect to the authentic look of the original deuce.....and he nailed...

Welcome aboard the crazy train. An Early Deuce can drive a guy nuts. Congrats on getting her home from a show. There is "typically" a small screen filter in the carb inlet. That screen can get plugged up. Do you have one? Do you have an internal fuel pump? If you do and you had a spare...

I have little to no idea. Looks like they gave a total wire length for different items and I don't see a good breakdown. The Crown is only half empty so I better put pictures up and type less. The schematic might help.

M207 Dental I did a little more digging into wire lengths and we do have them. The challenge will be going through the pages and determining which wire goes with which number. The harness is all the same color, black,....and each end is tagged. I see now that they wrote all the lengths down in...

M207 uses We're still wrestling with all the uses for the M207 Welcome to the adventure! Good to see another 207 out there. I just slept with mine last night. There are a lot of parts in your backyard so write up that needs list and we'll get you contacts. We know the 207 was a shop van...

Aug 25 Red Deer Alberta If you haven't checked the air pressure in your tires recently this is the day to do it. You're going to need good rubbers for the trip up to Red Deer, Here are a few distances ...... New York to RD 2530 miles Tampa Bay to RD 2824 miles Yuma to RD 1678 nikes Big...

M211 300 mile move Bigger trailers and tow bars may be required because the dogs are only allowed to drive the jeeps.

Dot 5 stored indoors since new. Not great follow-up photos but good enough for the girls we go with. This is the MC piston with the decayed rubber seal. There were a few black particles in the fluid but the rubber on the shiny, 10 year old, rear cylinders feels new. This truck had a lot of...
