M-20 Preservation Restoration It's a lot of commitment starting a thread so I'm avoiding that by bumping a dead thread with a cool title. This is an M-20 isn't it? The work going into this M-20 was too nice not to ask the owner if I can share some photos on Steel Soldiers. I'll dig up the...

Lately, in the best interest of the trucks, I've been calling a winch, deck truck to carry them home. We had one truck that dislodged a push rod so test firing is ok but 'firing it up' and driving it would have caused more damage. MVPA SuperDave insisted on pulling the valve cover and making...

Slip side slopin' away There is a little info in the CDN-OM9-819A Operators manual.....but nothing about side sloping. I haven't pushed mine enough to give a testimonial however I have heard stories about the G749 climbing mountains while towing British units behind them. We need some...

Thanks Steve, that's it....hidden in the restoration forum. That is one mad mod.

That's a beauty. Is that box all aluminum? You even got to do a night time recovery. That will be very handy around the yard, good buy.

I was looking for Jerseyhick's Deuce rod but there are re-engine links in this thread on or about post #69 gigity ... for a start. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?100212-My-M135-Quad-cab/page7 Welcome to Steel Soldiers and thanks for choosing an Early Deuce. We need more of them...

I always thought there was only 1 answer for this so I searched "xm211 difference" and found an explanation with additional info...... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?101969-xm211-vs-m211 The first info I learned was that it was an Early truck.....or experimental. Now I learn that...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers Terrh's waaaaaay better half. I know you high tech, smart phone kids will find a way to load those pics straight to the site.......but if you want to come over and use this old man's 2004 HP computer so it works easier, the door's open! Those are some smoking pics with...

Early Deuce Transmission SturmTyger may have the sources so it will be interesting to see if my Richard Gere look alike transmission guy, can add to it. He did say that the parts he ordered back in the day came from the United States. We're tied up until next week on a project together but...

Girls love a clean Early Deuce....love them. Someone took care of that truck so I can't wait to look it over, with your camera. Really appreciate you sharing the pictures, it's so clean it must have spent the last 59 years at a spa. Beautiful.

Early Deuce Transmission Leaks The time management team is working on that project. It's nice how the Steel Soldier and MVPA troops silently encouraged me to call my insurance company asking for permission for someone else to drive my truck so I can video record it driving by....then post in...

G749 Preservation Gracie the M207 has been hilarious since I parked her at the pond last fall. It was running strong but the starter packed it in so she wanted to camp near the lake all winter. Last week I pieced together a starter and it turns over real good but sounded like it wasn't getting...

I was going to warn you about that! These are herd animals and will not stay in the pasture alone for very long. That one looks like someone loved it like a prize winning bull. Is the paint really that good or are you just a great photographer? Looks sweet!! I can't read the date on the data...

A forklift....wish I thought of that. Instead, Mr. safety here leaned off the edge of a ladder to try and get 90° to the roof. I had the hood off but even leaning over to get the center window post and back of the cab would have been easier with the magic carpet. That truck looks great. Do you...

I'm always willing to help! We have a bit of land in central/northern Alberta. In the winter we can drive in the snow and in the summer, in the pasture. I'm great at cleaning things so when you're not around, I'll wash the windows and put air in the new tires. It's the perfect vehicle for my...

Distracted Driving Fines in Canada Ellie just wanted to remind folks that it's always good practice to know the 'current' laws when entering the different provinces in Canada, or any country you visit. If a visitor heads over to Nunavut there are no fines for distracted driving. If we end up...

Text and drive much? Our little province of 4 million just had a nasty weekend of highway accidents. Then tonight, on the way back from a great family weekend at the G749 farm I see the results of this head-on accident on a road our family has traveled for over a century. With our Canada Day...

I personally try to criticize in private, praise in public. Several employees have taken me in the back room over the years and made me a better person. Others have been publicly critical of things in my presence and now have better jobs. Whatever our opinion, right or wrong, the support here...

Friday night park and bark Once again the A&W draws them in by the hundreds. Goose gets a ton of attention even with a drip pan under the middle. I had the biggest truck there until this showed up. A tribute to our Southern friends....and it's much easier to get away with then impersonating...

That trucks got a big smile on it. Retired, new coat and ready for the car show. Did you spray it on? I enlarged the picture and it looks sprayed, nice work.
