NOS parts G749 repair Pulled some NOS parts out of the Gizmo barn that we stocked away last year and found out that famous saying is true. "If it's got an engine or tires it's bound to...." That's not it! "If it's electrical replace it and if your rubber wears out...." That's not it either...

Shaft Sizes G749 Is the part you speak of in the P above the harmonica?.....or the shaft that the P would slide over coming out of the back of the transmission? I thought I could find sizes in the book but let's nail down that part definition first so I know what I'm looking for.

Iltis Save The gentleman that hauls the M135 around spotted an Iltis for sale and dialed me up at 2230h last night. By 1240h today, a deposit was made and the Iltis was pulled out of it's hole waiting for a trailer to pick it up tomorrow. You might think the Plowboy would keep a smokin'...

Since the ground is too hard to plant potatoes, I put an old foamy Corsair back together to pass some time. The brother grabbed my potato cam so here's a couple of minutes of flying so low the landing gear touch. https://youtu.be/4cg6OTFdI20

What's the verdict with registration? My M135 was previously registered so the process was a breeze. Not an ocean breeze....but still a breeze. Any good news?

Did you just type that the 5 speed spicer has a plate on the back of the transmission that bolts directly to the U-joint / (propeller) on the TC to trans plate/shaft on the G749? Since you're kinda writing the TM on a swap, are you able to put up years, part numbers and other successful info...

It also sucks that since the transmission half of the bell housing is essentially machined on to the engine half of the bell housing during assembly, destroying one half means the bell assembly is trash. Knocking the pistons out of a jammed/destroyed block sounds like an option. I have 2 on the...

Heater Nice find....again! Do we have a matching set? I was going to offer this one up to you for spare parts but can't tell if they're the same. More info required. I found it in a pile of scrap outdoors and managed to save it to a garage so haven't really looked into it. Your post reminded...

G749 Tire/ Wheel options That sounds like it might be a find with historical value. Always wondered why they ran the 9.00 - 20's on the dual wheeled trucks with the off-set rim. This may be the primary reason or at least contributed to the decision.....cool. Let's get the data up here with...

There is one reference in 9-8024, pg. 455, for that line and they want to call it the governor air line. Up here, that line goes into the backside of the priministerial air bag. It's always hopeful that trucks taken offline still have healthy internal parts that have been protected from the...

Bearings used in multiple areas Good cross-reference for our bearing hoarders. Part # 712868 from the G749 parts manual works for both spindle and the midnight rocking boogie woogie bogie rocker. The race is the same too so good find from Gentry's garage! Race(Cup) # 712869

G749 test stand That looks like a future test stand for someone! Could have used it to hold down the tent because four pallets wasn't enough. Perfect weather for digging through the sea-can and instead I get to practice putting tents up again....too funny. This was a summer tent apparently so...

If you put that Christmas fire-log on your TV and loop the audio on our Toroflow video you get the Toro Phill harmonic orchestra with yuletide log. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJGHRdAoq4c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxaFegXdKZ0 It seems like it has ample power to pull the bus...

Once you post that first picture.....you'll be a master https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?59917-How-to-post-pictures-a-tutorial Hit that Australian search engine and hunt through those popular sale websites.....looks like some recent discussions on Gama goat tires......civilian...

You nailed it, that's funny. It certainly deserves the laughing out loud letters. I'm on my 4th or 5th smart valve in about 12 years at around $400 - $500 a pop. Smart way to make lots of sales and even smarter to allow it to fail when it's working the hardest in the middle of winter.....which...

That Deuce hay ride sounds brilliant. Easy Clean up, cosy ride....lots of horsies to pull the load, awesome. We're on Natural gas and running a down-draft Ducane with a Honeywell ST9120C fan timer, a SV9501 Smart valve...lol....and an ignitor wire that hangs too close to the flame, melting...

Since we're shopping for alternatives I'll post the links to a few weatherstripping/ parts companies. We have a company close to me called AMP panels and they give up info on their suppliers. http://www.ampauto.com/parts Lots of options for companies across the continent......if anyone...

We're looking for sources for the 51 chev too. I think it's similar material but says it's leather. Here's one of the links. https://www.classicparts.com/1941-72-Fender-Welt-Gold/productinfo/37-524/ Did an "Images" search for fender welting then followed a few pictures to their main site. We...

G749 fast freeze This should be shoved in the how cold am I thread but since you asked......it's the first day since spring that we can say it's cold. Sitting at 1°F....one above zero...and headed for 4 below tonight. Just amazing working outdoors with gloves off, flying the RC's yesterday and...

G749 clean up. After stuffing sea cans with marginally smoke damaged inventory four years ago, we finally found the time to get started. Sent staff out to buy tents to cover wet concrete on a rainy day some ten years ago. They came back with these snappy little chapel tents. They are certainly...
