G749 kept alive
Originally posted by Section 8.........Congratulations everyone on all your hard work and successes.
You say the nicest things cowboy.
It's the progress pics that keep me goin'. One bolt at a time.
Information Manual
As posted above, your friendly -10 manual is a fine read. Found your bows and tarp info on page 2-216 onward.
It shows you how to install and out stall them.
Scan through your Not so Tech manuals then check through the M135 manuals at MilitaryTrucks.ca - Welcome! .
What a...
Butch going away,
How the heck I'm I going to get my drivers door open with you gone Butch?
Enjoy yourself and I'll try not to break anything until you're back.
M135 Fridays
Affirmative Jwentz, lots of ongoing hours and Thank You.
In the best interest of Preservation, I once again lubricated the seals on the ten block trip to the local Hot Rod association Friday night stage.
This time a 26 year Vet ran over as I was pulling in and 'spotted' me as I...
M135 air hydraulic cylinder
That's great news Brad, you knocked it out of the park but still need to get to home plate.
We were patient with the bleed process.
SuperDave had me fill the Master Cylinder and 'gravity feed' the lines....after scrubbing the truck floor and cap for surgical...
M813 nut bolt wind size
One day you'll get er' done eh.
Don't know how big your bolt is but here's some of your pictures and our random M1010 M813 convoy video. Might have a pic' of your mechanic. Does she go away when you have these questions? All I know is 2 1/2 ton is half of 5 ton, even...
M211 no longer a question
That is a great find, can't wait to see "what are you going to do with that".
Start with air, you're missing a hose from carb to air filter and that's probably where you'll start before you breathe in a bug.
Then all you need to do is:
Fuel system...
Stop and count and stop
I tried and couldn't do it. I can stop or I can count but counting and stopping at
the same time is just too much.:) Sounds like I'll need help with this one Gunner.
I've watched the gauge go down....and up....but can't tell you how many times...or how many seconds I...
M135CDN wheels
Great find and welcome to the green vacuum. Post as many pics as you can.
If you're lucky, someone just flipped the wheels and you're running original M135 rims. They have a life span and are getting harder to find in useable condition.
The difference between dually and...
Nick
The beautiful Dodge in the photos, commemorates our Canadians that have not come home from our most recent deployments. My neighbour and friend, Nick Bulger is among those that we will never forget.
It was a great surprise to see the truck and learn of the support network of contractors...
M1010 Adventure for the Vets.
Veterans Voices of Canada hosted a Veterans Appreciation Day and asked the local MVPA to attend. The M1010 was ready for an adventure and we met with four other "local" MV'ers, some who already traveled 50 miles to get to the convoy staging point.
Our trip took us...
A&W Friday Night
Every Friday night, for several years, the local car clubs hang out at the A&W, just like the old days. Everything from tuners to the classics, muscle cars to MV's.
Preserving those seals in the M135 means I'm forced to run the truck every Friday night. If you look...
Fuel Pump Kit G749
If there's a chance to post pics of the tear-down / re-build of the pump I know it would be appreciated.
Just like the tingly appreciation I'm getting seeing the SS site pop another potential home run.
Let us know how it works out Rider.......and thanks Butch, so nice to...
Catman Do
Bump
Had some HMV boys ask if anyone had new details to the Collector Convoys that are coming through Canada.
Has anyone confirmed dates, routes or quantities heading through either Regina, Saskatchewan or Edmonton, Alberta?
P-38 Drop Tank Race Car
Great Story attached to this you-twob link. Imagine, 300mph in a P-38 fuel tank.
Here's a paragraph,
"""""""""The first land speed racers in the '30s drove stripped down street cars. Shortly after WWII when airmen returned home from the war with a thirst for speed, a...
Military Vehicle Preservation
Amen Bear, the modern drive train set-up is a great idea however it's ok for the purist to be disappointed when trucks get chopped. Section 8 will do us proud and will be partially donating any parts and pieces to my "Wild Military Vehicle Preserve" near Edmonton...
G749 fuel pump
Thank you so much. Just can't get enough of the different variances of these trucks.
Looks like a M215 headache rack or similar on her back. That is so clean.
Butch has more knowledge on this stuff then I ever will but one of the kits I saw was for pins/seal/diaphragm...
