Winch guards
Winch Guard
Do these all look the same? Part # N shield YT-2285374
A retired friend got bored and bought a few tools to play with. Dabtl needs a guard and the opportunity is there to make them but the guard is kinda sloppy.
I'm bending 10 the same as this, including the lazy...
Digging those headlights, something different there.....and the hood, very nice. How about some pics of the arctic set-up :drool:.
You chased that truck for a long time. Is it running? Let us know if you need anything, got a connection that makes the run up there a few times a year. He had 5 at...
Had to add a link I found with a very detailed history on the P-47. http://www.cradleofaviation.org/history/aircraft/p-47_thunderbolt_aviation_darwinism.html
Here's the latest low pass with the real thing.........crank up those speakers.

That is NORTHERN Canada. It's mostly bush an hour north of me and you're 1400km further, awesome. How'd that deuce get up there?
I'll just bet you have some stories on where an Early Deuce can go. If only the tire chains hanging on the side could talk.
I've got 2 56's. 11/7/56, 56-54341 and...
G749 Low voltage
Just to keep things simple my M207 had some important info drawn and scratched into the hood before I got it. Not saying your batteries are hooked up wrong, but if someone in the future hooks them up incorrectly they'll have similar symptoms to you, ......and only 12 volt. We...
Thanksgiving
It's the Thanksgiving long weekend up here and the whole family headed to the pond to camp. Camping on Oct. 11th is plenty thanks enough but we also had a visit from Wakefield Quebec and a few MVPA boys showed up. SuperDave can sing like a bird. Retirement for the trucks means the...
A rear view mirror? Army issue? .....the tailgate, just WOW.
The manuals got snuck in here and I did not see them until NDT pointed them out, thanks NDT http://www.steelsoldiers.com/forumdisplay.php?118-Korean-War-to-VietNam-War-Vehicles-TMs
Manuals are available here, here and here...
You got it right! You're posting pictures and not sure about anyone else, gave me the biggest smile of the day....Thanks.
Have you taken that truck to an open area and worked it? All that fresh paint, new teflon on the thread ends?, lack of leaks for lubrication and cleanliness might need some...
G749 brake problems
Sure hope someone's around to put me in a truck when I'm not able to do it myself. Your Pop is a lucky guy!
I just took my 172 year old parents to the 'recycle' station today and dumped any 'old, unknown and unlabelled' products that we had in our sheds. Makes it easy for...
Low flyin' RC P47
Low flyin' pics are so entertaining I decided to make my own. After peeling the wrapper off this new RC Parkzone P47 and taking the trim flight I thought of you plane nut guys and the low flyin thread.
As many low passes and touch & goes we could do before the battery...
G749 parking
CMPman, we had a little miracle removal with some Goof Off this weekend and I found some CFR glue behind some paint. 54-57304........... Thought I'd pass it along just in case we can find out a little more on the M207 Shop van out of Whitehorse.
Once again we had more help on...
G749 Hub, wheel seals
I'm almost absolutely for surely positive that maybe with a chance and the opportunity this seal is it.
Until you have the other one out and compare its the best I can give you. Did a little search for the number and found this...
Working on data to back it up however for D I found National 9427-s. Looks like the correct ones here on the shelf so I'll get photos later so we can confirm.
G749 Hub, wheel
Just so I don't mix up the 'inner' 'outer' definition here's a picture of the Wheel, Hub.
We have 2 different seals it appears and I'm thinking I also have 'D', #7411340 somewhere
so need to dig more.
Post #140 on the G749 Preservation thread has a few photos with the seals I pulled and what I found for replacements.
Here's a blurb....
Inner axle seal

Levy # 7411307
Modern equivalent seal is CR (Chicago Rawhide )...
Starting the M211
The work you need to do on it will be decided with what you're going to do with it when you're done.
If it's going on public roads or even if you're hauling something you love down the driveway, all the potential catastrophic failure items need to be inspected.
You'll be...
Pole Barn
After 15 months, the M135 has cover again. Long way to go but everything was designed around a members suggestion for a 14' door. Thanks Steel Soldiers.
