    G749 preservation

    m 135 grave. The local security hung in the corner while I wrenched but they had no stinging comments. How do you know an M135 is still worth saving. There's still a woody in the fire . . . . . . . wall.

    Parts hunt Dave, once again great advice. Had I bought the first parts truck I saw I would have spent a few grand instead of just a few days of labour and therapy costs for recovery. Being patient is not good for my heart but great for the pocket book, I owe ya. Went back out to Al's place and...

    Box for M135 doesn't come easy NattieL, I Had no idea what they were only that I want one. M4E3's would be great for pruning around the yard and hanging up Christmas lights. Did you want one? After 10hrs and 2 trips to the dump through backroads, loosing a tire off the homemade trailer and...

    M135 Preservinspiration Stan, Wow, thank you so much. Visiting and visually stripping another M135 is very inspirational. The legion, maps, directions, campsite, tour, babysitting when I couldn't find the legion and breakfast was over the top. Just a great visit. I headed up the Sea to Sky...

    Thems the Brakes Pulled the drums off the other side and got a few pics of what your brakes may look like just before you need them. Requiring 12 more 'brass?' washers for the brake-line bolts which will probably clearly show up in the TMs. Where's SuperDave when you need him? Throwin' up...

Rollie the mechanic...

    Walkaround Check Saves MV

    Walk around Save While plowin' snow this winter we wore a hole in an oil line coming out of the top of the oil filter plate, with the gear selector linkage. ......R...N...D...N...R....N...D... We never saw it coming. It's a potential "wear point" for everyone with this set up and should be...

    Continued Preservation Stan......finally got a break.....lots of snow to push. I'm going to do everything I can to get this girl looking as original as possible. I found a good selection of parts which should net me a box, rails, hoops, spare-tire carrier, pintle and a few more misc. pieces...

    Why the fuss?

    Why CUCV Stimulating thread! I wondered the same thing about MV's in general...... Then one got me! The mud showed up and it got me through. Then the snow fell. There's some pride that comes with an MV that just doesn't ride in a civi 4x4. ........and when all the civi 4x's line up and...

    rolling chassis view Proof she runs. Taking everyone for rides we thought we'd do a chassis shot. I'd be the one running like a monkey. I am getting ready to sell someone n1bnc so I can do a little salvaging before the snow flies. Should have thought of that long ago.:wink:
