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...

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...

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...

Blow the man down
My first camper was placed on this spot over a decade ago. It's just a juicy reminder to pick your camping locations with horse shoes shoved up the decision as far as possible.
No humans were around to hear it fall but I'm guessing the camper screamed a little.
This...
11 year old posts have some fantastic info in them. Post #8 by CGarbee is great, just great. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?10484-Dot-3-or-Dot-5-Brake-fluid

Dot 5 and older seals
Guys guys guys, we need to talk. Gander the M135 was re-built over a decade ago and we're lucky enough to tear it down after the MC started leaking recently.
The rubber seals on the MC that was rebuilt with Dot 5 were softened and friable. They'd fall apart when touched...

The Parking Lot is open for over night sleeps but the girls need to know to help with planning. Contact info is in the photo...
The hunt
Had a peak for the original description thread to see if that was an NOS gauge package but this is not the one https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?10695-My-First-Deuce. I believe nearly everything on the truck was NOS and I also believe I should wear a wrist band with my...
MV Candy Coated Candy
MV candy is too sweet not to share so here's another piece. The sky was getting mean so only had time to open one crate and get things under a temporary cover before the rain. The preservation continues.
Found a paper tag in the first box. I think it says 5/4/84 on...
We'll drop a little tease video of the whisper tank....which appears to give birth around the 15 second mark.

302 parts preservation pervert
I went down and gone done and did it good. I bought em! Short story, in the old days a guy bought and collected everything. I spotted them and boughted them and offered 1st right of refusal on everything green that he gets access to in his dense yard.
It's a...
It certainly is a short, light beginning to being on tracks using the Bren/ Universal Carrier as a platform. When it's no longer reasonable to make them pure, might as well make them roll. With the jeep engine set up and all the armor it weighed in around the 8000lb mark so a Bobcat trailer can...
That tutorial walked this landscaper through the process so if I can do it....anyone can do it.......Picture tutorial https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?59917-How-to-post-pictures-a-tutorial
There is a section on page 228 9-8024 that talks about finding adapters to hook up a tachometer and the pipe plug removal under intake for a vacuum gauge so that's a fun way to approach it. There should be 3 screws with the top one being idle and the bottom two being idle mixture. You're...
T16 transformation
This story started as a T16 so I'll bump this tired old thread and share what I'm learning.
The build is here, belongs to a very creative family and I'm lucky enough to share some testing adventures. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=20916
