You mentioned having installed replacement belts. Are the belts NOS or did you source them from a shop somewhere? M5A4 looks nice,BTW. Matt

On soft skinned vehicles it's location varies from type to type but it can also be found on the data plate as well. Yes, it is the vehicle's serial number. I think the "VIN thread" is located in the general conversations forum. it's been awhile since anyone posted on there for it to pop back up...

I posted on the VIN thread what I had for my M548A1 tracked cargo carrier & they were able to tell me a little bit about it's history. So that thread is worth a shot. Matt

Anyone on here ever replace the hoses on their ferret scout car? 'been researching how to do it and my question for those that know & have is this: The rubber hoses used appear to be just straight 'coupling" types w/no bends or odd angles moulded in. Can generic radiator hose* cut to fit be...

I've used both Behr & Valspar to paint my house using a spray gun & it worked (worked good to) but I'm not sure how that paint would run through an automotive paint gun. You may have to thin it. Sorry can't help with the CARC green. I assume your looking for "CARC 383 green"...

Is the Home depot Behr brand superior to Lowes Valspar in this application? Just curious. Matt

Found out what I needed, thanks. Matt

NO. I was asking for a head's up as to which threads would be worth looking at. Someone might post "there's a thread about pre-purchase inspection you might want to look at" or " here's a link to my thread on issues I've had with my M..." Understand...

Considering an M998 Hey I'm considering the purchase of an M998 and I was wondering if anyone could recommend some threads on here (posting links would really help) so I can arm myself with information in what to look for & what kinds of questions to ask the seller...

While I agree with you 100%, it still brings up the issue that this person (or persons) are selling something that they claim to be original when in fact it isn't. There are a lot of newbs with money in this hobby-or maybe more accurately, there are monied people who are aware of this hobby and...

I looked at the link posted above & there was no mention of it being a cobbled together vis-mod. I wonder if that could open the sellers up to legal action if it sold to someone who thought that they were buying a real M10...

There is another member here from the midwest who also owns a leopard 1, I'm sure he'll chime in shortly. Matt

I was thinking it (your leopard) was the one up on armyjeeps.net . They had a running leopard 1 that was located in Germany for sale that sold. The immobilized one(s) for sale over on Milweb weren't to bad price wise, they'd just never run again. Think they were being marketed as items for War...

So you brought that Leopard?! Welcome to the site! That was probably a good deal as the one's I've seen for sale over on Milweb had their powerpacks removed & the empty space filled with concrete. Matt

Thanks. Would you be of the same opinion if I were say having the hull soda blasted & not using an agrigit? Matt

Question for the Hive Mind on here: When I finally get around to media blasting my M548A1's aluminum hull, can I leave the wiring harness in place? Will the blasting grit (Black Beauty for example) harm the harness? I know it's not good for bearings & seals but what about the rubber coating on...

Restored? In the 75k to 80k range. Unrestored as a project? Well I guess that would depend on what condition & how complete the project is. V100s are roughly twice the price. Matt

Ok had the wrecker stop by late last week and we removed the winch, radiator & steering differential. Before the wrecker's arrival, I removed anything that would/could get in the way that was attached to the diff. The challenging part was unbolting the short (driver's side) drive shaft from the...

Alright I'm setting up an appointment with a seller to look at an M1081. Any tips on what I should pay attention to/look for? Matt
