Steering grease pizza pocket dust boot
I have a bad one on the M1010 and I'm thinking this one or one like it is what you're referring to.
I bought used replacement parts but it would be nice to just replace rubber if it's possible.
G749 Spring Start-up
Well now, I don't want to say anything between brothers that would cause you guys to give each other any more grief than I'm sure you already have. I will mention that he somehow went out of his way to make sure it was almost the perfect color.
I won't say what I paid...
G749 Starter
This is a test, this is only a test......... Not sure what happened last night to the pics but here's another shot.
One label looks like an original 50's starter label and the other maybe one produced at a later date but it does give us 2 options for casings that we can work with.
G749 Starter Options
Why do I have 2 different model and style of starters?
It was time to get Goose out of the barn so I met a new Steel Soldier and his waaaay better half at the G749 farm today. I'm not saying anything he doesn't already know.
After forcing the new visitors to do chores...
Keeping the stick on the ice.
The last guy I went head to head with over hockey was Charlie Pride. He's a Dallas fan and I asked him to sign my Oiler's hat. He thought I'd been underground for 45 years, as his expression tells. I got the autograph, but I took a hockey lesson.
The Boston...
Have we told you how much we appreciate you lately RangerBob? Coolest pics, adventures and finds beyond the green iron.
I'm stuck in the 50's and 60's doing Cold War research that is now declassified and will be visiting all the dew, pine, mid, bunker and comms sites over the next decade...
G749 Airpak - GG Piston measurements
Here's GG - Piston 7410852 out of a G-749 Air-Pack-Kit
It looks different but the pictures don't mean anything until we get the tree calipers out.
For additional AIR PACK information here is the info out of the ORD 7 SNL G749 for the AIR PACK.
It...
I really don't have answers to those questions and you're not alone with the thought. I completely agree with your last sentence.
The solution seems logical to a guy that doesn't text while driving or use nav. I looked at the map, know where I'm going and I'll call ya when I get there. :lol...
The stats are out....Nearly all distracted driving incidents, penalties and deaths are with distracted drivers ALONE in their vehicle.
The peer pressure of passengers force drivers to......DRIVE.
If you're still not completely focused on driving when you drive........Get a Friend or pretend...
G749 brake lines Rubber the right way
TM 9-8024 and the ORD 7 - SNL - G749 manuals have some decent information in them....or is that descent, or dissent. You know what I mean....Here is the info!
Hope the pictures work out. These books do not hold up very well in the tub.

Atomic Shop Van
Does anyone have this extra row of tracks in their shop van and what are they for? If I gotta go to Shilo!
Had a chance to visit the guru at his shop today, took a picture of the inside of his van and it is different. He doesn't have the extra bottom plate, slots...
Spent the previous weeks with a friend as he prepared an amazing Ukrainian funeral for his mother. It made me realize, again, how important it is to tell people how amazing they are, any chance we get. Elkhunter AKA Walt often posted to the "How cold is it where you are" thread with beautiful...
Unique recovery option
I had the great fortune of arriving home before my neighbour today and thought I'd bump the thread and share his recovery pictures. I would have dragged it out of the hole backwards so it was great to see a different perspective of recovery.
15 minutes before this...

If you read Steel Soldiers someone will always figure out how to get it running.
Just freeze them in a lake to keep them from being driven away.
That 5 ton must have been heavy for the ferry! Looks like it pushed ocean right into your back yard. I'll grab some pumps next time I come out and get that fixed up for ya.
Those photos are rare so really appreciate you taking the time to do it.
Just over 12,000 square miles of paradise to...
Distracted Driving
Just a little update and safety bump as a reminder to focus on the task at hand.
This is my little 5 year old nephew playing hockey. He wears 53 on his jersey to match the year of our favorite old 6x6.
When he's focused on playing hockey, he'd never grab his cel phone to...
We're having an early break-up,.....and I don't mean you and I because the boys would never let that happen.
What I mean is the roads are rough, the fields are muddy and work slows down a bit until she dries up.
I must get to the Regimental Museum in Calgary and we're pushing for a run to the...
