That first step replacing something, anything back in to get a little closer to the end is a rush. Nice goin taking that step. Just picture the day you're laying underneath the truck checking linkage travel while soldier B is inside moving the clutch and shifter lever(s) before your first road...

M207 There was a 135 with the 207 when we first saw it so they got George and Gracie. Gracie the M207. So that gives us Larry, Curly and More...George and Gracie...Richard Pryor and Goose. Picking up a parts truck tomorrow but I think we'll call it a parts truck.

Willy's winching Deuce I got a lesson in physics today so thought I'd bump the thread as a Thank You to all those experienced guys that take the time and patience to keep teaching. We used an old Willys Jeep that weighs what, maybe 2500 lbs, to winch a boxless 10,000 lb deuce onto the deck...

I think that must be the universal step one for all of us, although I don't see it in the TM's yet. A tap can free up the contacts sometimes but like Super Dave said, "it's weird". The starter worked 10 times to get it rolling and with a $160.00 an hour lowboy waiting, it didn't. We spun the...

M207 Recovery Gigity, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIrWZ8WW-oE&feature=youtu.be Murphy's Law came out to help move the 207 today but we knew in advance and brought more punches then Murph could take. When we parked last night and shut down Super pulled the starter to be sure it would...

M207 Recovery A special Thanks to SuperDave tonight for helping me get the 207 running sweet and taking us for a ride. This is one long recovery and it's nearly over. I have worked on the truck for hours to get things right. Tonight I made the best move ever and called SuperDave on the way...

Crate 302 Found a few minutes to clean up the 302 and become an Edmonton Oiler. After a hand bath with Simple Green we pulled the valve cover, plugs and checked the contents of the oil filter. The distributor cap had a cool new cover added with the firing order stamped in it, the plugs were...

We're scheduling 1 hour at a time with this weather but my lowboy man called me and right now they think tomorrow is the day. I will let you know Dave, quack quack. Anything can change in a hurry with this going on...

M207 pre-start work Finally found time to lay down with the M207 and was greatly surprised by the work that was already done. The PO had a plan for this truck and he's still working on it....with me. 'Our plan' is to get it running so we can drive it out of his yard and onto a lowboy.....which...

There is green, blue, grey and black iron in San Diego. Welcome from the great white north. I get to visit El Cajon and wish I lived there, There's an M135 behind harbour freight in El Cajon and an M37 sitting at the used BMW repair facility close the the beach in what I think was La Jolla. Lots...

Eh? Welcome to Steel Soldiers and the Jolly Green Giant forum. Tell us a little more about what you might use your new deuce for. Be patient and if you decide 'it's the right thing to do', you'll know which deuce to buy the second you see it. Many others have imported and found it easy. They...

G749 Dedication Had a moment in the sun to get some pics with the folks and the dedicated valve cover. Did a little unveiling ceremony with the deuce and now have a "dedicated" G749 that was built on my Dad's birthday.

NDT could have it Brad. Page 61/62 of 9-8024 says... When the switch is turned to ON position and service brakes applied, an electrical selenoid-operated valve in master cylinder outlet line acts to prevent the return of brake fluid to master cylinder, thus holding the vehicle hydraulics brakes...

M135 escort on F104 move The F104 was safely delivered 15 blocks, just at the end of rush hour traffic on a Friday, at 5mph, in the rain. .........and we didn't knock down any bridges.......... The tail section was stripped last week and delivered as we got ready for the pull. We had a deck...

That made life a whole lot easier, tip of the week I'd say. The TM suggests forcing engine oil under pressure through the oil system and until this moment I was going with the "If pre-oiling equipment is not available" step. Thanks Catman!!! I'll have a drink in our memory....sitting around the...
