No sir, my phone works and I forgot to call you, my apologies. I'll make it up to you, I'll let you drive my oldsmobile against a blazer in an ice race. Sunday probably works best at +5 and with us racing on ice, you won't need to worry about my swimming abilities!:-D Robo Mcduff, if you...

Mv rc The temps soared to +1c today so we took a break and went flyin'. The F-14, Corsair and T-28 are mine while the mustang and 32 other crazy flying contraptions belong to a friend. A little redneck racing and flying http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAAj3J9r0mA

Welcome to Steel Soldiers from a short DUK ride away in Canada. I will come visit your many abandoned WWII airports one day! If you get 2 MV's, we could both drive one!:-D

Is that the bone you're talking aboot? I want pictures but it sounds like a cool adventure. Take a truck, pull a trailer, sell a truck, buy a truck, store a truck, drive the truck and make a buck, easy. I looked in my manual.

Jet Mounting Position When you guys mount your jets in your trucks did you have them forward of the rear diff., or over the axles like the second picture? The engine's running rough and ready for some work so we're looking for some options for a re-engine but I'm not sure where to mount it. I...

Pulling a Radar O'reilly on this one. Wheel Cylinders in the book are wagner lockheed #14413 Here's a thread from 06' http://www.steelsoldiers.com/archive/index.php/t-7206.html There are two sizes, hope this doesn't get political, but the Canadians have bigger ones then the Americans. Think...

You've got the green color close and there should be a little yellow under the chin. As for the sand color it's way off. Add more yellow to it and it should be close to the one in the video. I do like the yellow duck theme but....over time.....they all turn green...

Bump,..... you got it good if that's all you need. We'll keep nudging your post until you get what you want. There were parts in the classifieds so lets dig one up that's close to you. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?98875-Big-lot-of-M221-M135-parts Try this thread, send a...

Coming out of hibernation! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_wqWdEhbtA It's been too long, forgot what the trucks look like. New pictures?

I used a chock, how bout that. It's a big chunk of Oak. Quercus Macrocarpa.

Maintenance schedule That's one of the sweet things about getting the mechanical 100% on the drive train because if you're old or middle aged, you may sell the truck before the axles need to be torn down again. I thought it would be great to have the TM's sitting on the bumper while the truck...

I let a princess borrow my civi truck one day and she hit a curb with the back diff going around a corner. It moved the left side of the diff back enough to make it feel like the front was pulling to the right. We pulled tape measures from tire to tire, tire to frame rails, cross-measured, side...

Trailer hitch G749 That all sounds like good news that will keep you busy for a few minutes. It'll be nice to see that truck again. We bought a double double trailer back in 07' and it pulls ok behind the dually, but just ok. Big trailers like these should have a deuce or tandem in front of...

G-749 Brakes Thanks gentlemen, we're celebrating success with a brake spoon and a big bowl of jello pudding. Pulled the SNAP ON tools list, the TM tool list, went to see the tools at Canadian tire...........and got it done without their help...

G749 setting the brakes. My luck ran out yesterday when I missed a 67' cj-5 split window Willys for $1,500.00. It was in Barrhead, Alberta Kijiji and it's gone, gone gone. Kicking myself for not jumping because it's the second one I missed. Apparently I NEED A JEEP. With the MV bug biting...

I'm betting by the time I push send someone's got this. My asphalt queen "goose the deuce" has 6 wheel drive in reverse. I looked at the diagram and my eyes glossed over so I drove backwards up a snowy hill and I'm still going. Here's a couple of links that support the sprag...

Did you get a tach mounted? Hard to tell from video's but we'd want to be sure that detroit's pulling proper rpm's and not over-strokin' It looks like a tough swap but sounds like birds chirpin in the spring! Beautiful. Been reading up on the...

Things come apart easier when they're frozen. We're hanging around -20c, -4f and hiding indoors. Good to see some progress. Have you got replacement parts?

Was going to post some more pictures but my Drive(G:) has an attitude today. They billed me $55.00 but they are also going to clear coat once we finish lettering it.

Brake assembly G749 It's a big job but after a guy does a few ya just get jealous when you hear someone else is doing one! Wish you luck and wish I was there. After adjusting my brakes this month I'm glad we spent the extra time ensuring the adjusters work easily when we re-built. Two of the...
