I'm reserved but Ma is 91 and wants to go driving......... She's the one that always says....."Have a nice day unless you choose otherwise", "Choose wisely".

Do any of you know 'that guy' who found out you were working on an old deuce, and he just wouldn't let you do it alone........even in a pandemic? All I did was mention to Mattech that I'd drop off the air chucks he loaned me on my way out to yank a tank. My plan was to unbolt as much as I...

I lengthened the tow bar to six feet to comply to the 'social mv distance' recommendations. Keeping the trucks 6 feet apart is a best practice in a panicdemic. We added our own septic availability and can now self isolate for years before discharge is needed. I might take the tank off...

I'm new to battery powered tools that work this good. Batteries need maintenance systems so I avoid them. The cordless beasts really got good two years ago and now that there's one in the Steel Soldiers family, I don't need one. I was on air tools until we bought our first electric impact...

Collection Of Vehicles I Drive 19 COVID 19 We're going to have some spare time on our hands so it's a great time to get together with buddies. I had one more truck to move to get it on high ground before the heat wave of summer hits. All I had to do was figure out how to get these lugs off and...

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...

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...

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!

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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...

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.

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...

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.

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...

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...
