    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    Stuff I bought. I will be posting pictures of some of the stuff I bought, and will be going back someday to pick up still more things. I had a great time talking to Mr Mazerolle, and just wished he had a stock of parts for the G-749 vehicles as great as the old Dodges and Willis jeeps. So keep...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    Hello Juskatla I'm going to post the pictures I took while I was there, I WAS going to take pictures of the stock he has in his yard, BUT it seems people were stealing stuff off him for some time, and I didn't want to advertise things to make it easier to steal. So I just showed the stuff...

    Inkerman Hello everyone, just got back from seeing Mr Mazerolle in Inkerman N.B. I bought quite a pile of stuff, mostly all he had for our trucks, sadly, he confirmed my worst fears that some stuff impossible to find now. BUT, IF, you own a Dodge M37 truck or a Willis jeep, YOU ARE IN LUCK! ...

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    Flushing fluid As for compatibility, don't worry about it, as the brake cleaner will naturally evaporate during use after the flush is done, and completely disappear. All you need to do is MAKE SURE you have drained everything as best as possible, and top up with 10wt as needed after, that's...

    Transmission band template IF you tear down a transmission in the future, do you have the template that you NEED to adjust the band anchor? I saw this on YT, and would like to get the exact dimensions to hand fab my own when that moment arrives. I know I'm asking a stupid question, but is...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    Black out lamp. I am certain ALL trucks (U.S, and Canadian) had them, but why they were removed I have no idea. That is indeed a black out lamp. It is as was stated earlier, mounted on the top r.h corner of the frame (when standing at the rear of truck)and points to a triangle plate down lower...

    Deuce Parts Hello guy's. I'm finally getting to do some work after quite the winter. Along the way, I picked up some parts left over from the pole setter truck this fellow had, but sold.

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    The place I have was an old "White Rose" and later on a "Shell" gas station. Many owners later, I bought the location, and the selling point for me was the HUGE basement. 35 feet deep, 48 feet wide, and 12 feet high. Walls are 14 to 16 inches thick and upper floor over 13 inches thick. I call it...

    Cab Ladder This is how my M-207 appeared when I found it in the scrapyard.I didn't check the frame number at that time, and assumed it was a M-211 due to the double rear wheels. Only quite a while later did I discover the true configuration number.I was so focused on getting it to run, I...
