Hey drcrw, Welcome to Steel Soldiers....... You jumped on an old post that may not get replies from the Original Poster. (OP) One way to get some more interest from some of the Early Deuce guys is to upgrade the membership and post a PARTS WANTED add in the classifieds. It's a preferred...

Air Pack Kit, Compressor Kit I'm working on the 12 step program Stan and I have 9 with wheels so I need............ 3 more. SuperDave and a big crew from Alberta hit the MVPA Portland convention and Super found us an Air Pack Kit. Want to hear that again.......An AIR PACK KIT There must be...

Parts List I picked up the ORD 9 SNL G-749 which claims to have a list of all service parts so if we need FSNumbers I may be able to find them.

Macopats TM 9-8024 has the major components split into sections which we used a little to guide our re-build. It was good to take the giant elephant and cut it into manageable pieces. It starts with Ignition System, Fuel and Air intake, Exhaust System, Cooling System, Starting System...

Going through the 1956 Deuce before a tour tonight and found some of the flywheel bolts backed off again so decided we could bump a Dinosaur thread as a reminder to "Check your nuts......behind your nuts". This thread should probably be in the Safety forum but it had some content so I jumped on...

How's your Dad? I might tear into a trani pan this weekend if time allows and post some pics. Did you solve yours?

Nice detail under the hood Brad and now I see the problem......the compressor is missing.

We understood Haarp sold this this spring and it's good to see someone getting wages out of it still. If it's in private hands it would be interesting to know if things are still kept 'secret'. Cool Adventures Ranger Bob, it's great coming with you to see this stuff and not leave my house. Made...

G749 Line up Just a few pics of the weekend where my Mom's much younger 80 year old brother and his wife were all over the M207. First ones to go for a ride. Also had the Niece's friends out for a ride and Gracie is jealous of that look. Finally got the pad widened for all 7 trucks so a pic...

I'm surprised Gunfreak hasn't put one together yet. Dennis Spence put an extensive Army Vehicle Parts Guide together and it has a pile of G749 cross-overs. This thread that you started years ago has great beginnings and the perfect title so we'll keep adding until winter hits and maybe I'll...

That info on the wheel cylinders is buried in here somewhere ...Section8, Section9, Section3. Gunfreak has it memorized but I'd need to dig., http://www.steelsoldiers.com/archive/index.php/f-18.html and here, http://tinyurl.com/kfuxljv If it's wheel cylinders it's a good thing it's in the...

All the best to your father for a great recovery and Thank him from me for the lesson. That is an eye opener. I wait until my trucks are at operating temps before I check trani levels, whew. Good Safety Lesson before the weekend to use caution when checking hot fluids. High levels can be from...

Buy more brake fluid, remove questionable lines, inspect then tell us what the condition of the lines are. I like pictures. You did not tell us about the position of the brake switch on the dash yet so lets start there.

I missed that brake-line follow-up,,,,,, picture postin' always wakes me up...... I took my lines to Edmonton Brake and Clutch and handed them to a girl.....:rolleyes:so any brake line fabricating shop can do them. Who's close? Meet you in Milwaukee!

M37 thermostat bypass That's the problem with reading the TM's. A guy ends up learning all the 'correct' stuff that is supposed to be on them. I don't know the M37 well enough to suggest 'if it ain't broke' but we'll bump the concern and someone will give you real feedback. Thought I'd reply...

M135 40 gallons gets me about 250 miles so around 6mpg........and I'm City bound so I try to find open stretches to run between 30 and 45mph, which she likes. Mine does not like red lights. I'm just 4 seasons and a pile o' miles on the trani that was in mine when I bought it. It improves each...

What did you find when you went through the trouble shooting section of the TM's? I see ten steps to solutions for you symptoms before you call a mechanic., Air in system is one and the solution is to bleed as per TM. Have you serviced your air-pak? gigity If it was mine I'd just take it all...

Looks like Bob Keens 1943 W59. http://gpamvhs.org/membervehicle.htm Someone must want that!! Girls Love telephone repairmen......

Fire Recovery Thanks for the kind words and thoughts. It's just a boxing match and the only time it knocks ya down is if ya drop your hands.....Like Ma said, "If it doesn't kill you it only makes you stronger".......or like Pops says, " If it doesn't kill ya it would surprise the **** out of...

M211 CFR interest Cmpman, this is the most interesting truck in the herd so far. It is a M211 CDN with US numbers on it and an unusual "Attach Stuck White Knight Here" sign on the back. She's a 16-2-55 baby with a CFR of 55-53313. The truck is in great shape so someone loved it and we're...
