Thanks Frenchman, if were not for you the winch would probably still be incomplete, I do have the splash shield just need to install it. The pintle hitch is there.

nf6x was talking about mil/civ interface and the comments on the video had pin out information I thought may be helpful.

Good job Mark, glad to see you are making progress.

Looking better, I believe the SN was stamped up near the water pump boss on top of the block.

My wire replacement was done many years ago, purchased from the original owner of the company who lived only a couple of hours from me, the shop was amazing. Sad to hear the new owners could not keep up the reputation, I think Omix Ada or some other company makes a harness as well. Not sure...

I think it looks great, thanks for sharing the idea and video.

Good progress, carb looks nice as well. I purchased a new wiring harness from Vintage Wiring of Maine, very nice harness. Amazing the pile of parts that were added on, glad to see you are making it right again.

You can retain the 24v system and still use the 12v coil, just run the ignition/coil hot wire to a 24-12 converter. I don't think the coil draws many amps so one could be had pretty cheap. By doing this you won't place an unbalanced load on your batteries.

Thanks Tom, I was torn between re building the hard top or just installing the new door kit. The hard top need several pieces of glass and new glass channels, would have been expensive.

The only modification is to the top bows, the stud is removed on the forward bow where the bow to windshield rod mounts, it's replaced with a 5/16 bolt and a round spacer 3/4 diameter, 5/8 wide. The forward fixed window is slid in the channel on the outer edge of the windshield frame, just...

Project of the day was to install a new door kit I purchased a while back. As with any goat project the install was straight forward but a lot of fit trial and error type work, measure twice drill once. The holes to be drilled are for the hinge brackets, attached to the bow uprights, the hinge...

Great find, my MB engine after overhaul ended up .30, you should be fine.

Good job, nothing like an easy fix.

Good job, I had to replace the w/s skin on my 42 MB as well, not too bad of a job just be sure to purchase a good quality replacement.

Its been a long road getting this winch project finished and today was the day. After work my son and I spooled on the new winch cable, at 150' it takes a while, that and keeping it tight and even. I know the chain wrap looks a bit unruly but it frees up the tow shackles. The cable specs for...

One cheap way to check fuel supply/pressure is to disconnect the return line on the drivers side tank, attach a piece of rubber fuel hose over the end and place the hose in a container. Start the engine and you should have a high pressure stream of fuel if its working properly. If the stream...

There is a good trouble shooting guide near the front in the -20 for the M561 for the turn signals. I converted mine to solid state, simple process and is outlined in the -20 manual, you will need a turn signal, flasher and harness. All the solid state parts are common to the M series trucks...

My brother had one of those, I'll check with him to see id he has anything left over.

Kudos to Dozerman51 who voted for his competition a true gentleman.
