M135 Found this beauty in front of a local maintenance facility. It is a Canadian M135 with intact insignia. If you look closely at the rear shot it appears to have been drinking BUD. Beauty truly is in the eye of the beer holder. Motor and trani are gone but Gunfreak can fix that. Enjoy.

RE-torque Giving this a bump after another day under the 1956 M135. This time I dropped the bell housing cover for a clean up. Seeing a quart of oil in the bell housing cover probably means rear seal but I'm trying a pan re-torque first. One bolt on the torque convertor to flywheel was...

Air Hydraulic Cylinder I wrote a letter to Bendix to ask about saving our air paks. They gave me this Precision Rebuilders @ 636-629-1444 I have not made the call yet but was told these guys could help us out with kits or parts. (Insert fat balding guy on knees with hands clasped icon)...

Starter switch Finally had the opportunity to look at the pics closely. I understand you're busy with "Stock Smithing" a bunch of guns so to avoid panty wadding I am going commando until you get back at the truck. :) Even if I need to wait until fall. The switch is simply genius. That's much...

M220 EvenI need a shower after that trip. Had the same 'fuel starving, dragging' symptoms but got lucky and the screen on the fuel line, just inside the carb, grabbed a bunch of scale from the tank. Cleaned out the pencil tip sized screen, added the inline filter and so far it's been great...

Master Cylinder Good timing Tom, I was about to drink.

Master Cylinder Too Funny Stan, tracked the Master Cylinder and it just left Vancouver. Probably out your back door. I could have hauled it to Kelowna last year, had your guy pick it up last month and it would have been in Vancouver a week earlier. The MC in question was supposed to come...

410 steering box Just thinking out loud but you are in hot rod heaven down there. What about some of the local hot-rod clubs? Can you contact the "base" itself to see if one of the military mechanics wants to lend a hand? Somehow through the MVPA we have 'military' contacts who are also...

M215 Originally posted by bearboley "just not to pretty anymore" Not pretty to you, I like it. That is beautiful. Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder :) :beer:

G749 Stan, can we get some pics near an ocean, next to a mountain, by a river, beside to a Battleship, in Stanley Park, on a ferry? Get the 8 points of the truck, 4 corners, front, back and two sides. Use height of camera for some effect. Best pics with the "sun to your back". Your post...

Vimy Another MVPA Honour Last week the local MVPA was asked to display vehicles for the "1st Annual Edmonton Vimy Ridge Memorial Parade", April 15th 2012. """It was at Vimy, on April 9th, 1917, that all four Divisions of the Canadian Corps attacked simultaneously for the first (and last )...

Unified voice Found an MVPA Affiliates Link MVPA Affilates Links Not sure if this is current but it sure is powerful and comforting. It is impressive to see what has been done since 1976 considering the hurdles they have faced. Strength in numbers may never be 'unified' however maybe the...

Master's Cylinder Master Cylinder is on it's way. Check condition and let me know if it works. If it does we celebrate, if not plan "B". Tracking number is in you PM. Strange weather days indeed, wind blowing trucks off highway, highway signs over and nearly all the hair off my head. Snow...

Inspection acception Howdy Neighbour, We have a contact in Fort Mac. that just went through his second inspection and had success. Ironically he paid for his first inspection and found out later from registries that the 'company' performing the inspection.......was not certified to perform...

Way back machine Here's some old galleries from the old steel soldiers site from cpf240's suggestion. Steel Soldiers - Military Vehicle Supersite The best scenario is determining what year you're looking for data in and then there's only 365 days to look through posts.....:-( And the...

eagle, everything you said makes perfect sense. Being sure that all those around us get home safely too, may be an ideal that requires a re-introduction. Thanks for all the input folks, one thing surprises me..... 1) That an existing "Private MV Operators Code of Conduct" has not been shoved...

Old Posts pics Ya got me concerned about loosing data so I did a little more exploring through the features of the site. You've laid down lots of useable info and it would be a shame to lose any of it. I see a link to "all posts by" _ _ _ _ _ _ when we click on 'our' member name. Steel...
