Mike, I have a small roll around engine puller that would probably work great for your project. You are welcome to use it. I think it is rated for 2000. P

Elk, the Arlington event is next weekend, but people were setting tents yesterday and there will be people on site all week. Looks to be a great event. Jeff and Bill High and the Puget Sound club have done a great job of laying the event out . People were already hauling vehicles in as well...

Well if you haven't had the hardtop off any of your trucks, I can highly recommend that project. Took mine off a couple days ago and my guess is that it hasn't been off since rebuild about 25 years ago. This evidenced by the severity of the rusted bolts. It is insulated on the inside with...

So has your wife decided that you have been moping around the house so she sent you out to work on the truck? Nice job on the tires and wheels.

Sorry forgot to give a note about the jeep picture with the 3 ladies. The driver is Mary Kallenberger. She was a Medic with the 1 Med. Bn 65-67. The lady in the blue suit is Eva Hauck, she was a Rosie the riveter and worked on B-29 parts at the Chehalis WA plant during the war. And the other...

Mission Accomplished. Thank you to all that turned out to make this a great event. The event folks really like what we add to their event and have us down as a standing invitation. We had about 15 people and 11 vehicles at the park. Vehicles included and M151, 4 - WW2 jeeps, a Chevrolet 1...

Jeff, I will come up and help. When you said implements of destruction, did you mean hammers and sledges? What else might be appropriate. I can't be there till Friday afternoon, but if someone will keep an eye on it, could bring up the M38A1. See you tomorrow.

Hang in there with the tires and wheels. If you get one everytwo days, you will have it with time to spare. I too have the gremlins today. The M38A1 developed a noise yesterday causing it to be redlined for the parade. It ended up be a loose nut on the crankshaft pulley. No not behind the...

That is an interesting solution. Someone will probably beat me, but I put it in low gear, set the ebrake, and put a bar through the yoke of the rear drive line. There was plenty of resistence to set the pulley nut. Then I was on such a roll, jumped on taking the hard top off the 5 ton that had...

Thanks for the tips. I hoped there was something easier than the flywheel trick but was about ready to go with it. May try option 2 first. Of course you forgot the one about pulling the plugs and pouring water in the holes, then putting the plugs back in to give it a hydrostatic lock. :)...

Thank you for the tips and thoughts on this project. The crankshaft pulley nut had backed off a bit. It takes a 1 3/8" something which I did not have. Once that was located, a little tightening and no more noise. Zout mentioned torque on the nut. How do you lock the engine up enough to get...

Sound is definitely related to RPM, more RPM more noise.

Thank you for the tips. Will check into both of those today. This vehicle has about 13,000 original miles and we did replace the front oil seal a couple years ago, but probably only a couple hundered miles. So something may not have been tightened properly.

Time for the guru's to chime in. It has a sound like a tailpipe rattling on something. Checked that and no noise changes. Put the stethescope on it and the noise sounds like it is coming from the timing chain cover. No noise at the water pump or fuel pump. could I have a loose timing...

Everet has a restored M151 and he probably has one of the nicest that you will see. The guy is a restoration ace. Glad things went well at he Fort today.

OK. We haven't lost a partner yet to one of these expeditions so did not want a first. See you in the morn.

We will make it work but I don't want you going hypothermic before you get here.

Dirty is fine. There probably weren't to many clean motorcycles on the Eastern Front. If you want to disasemble here, bring your stuff and we can stow it in the back of the 5 ton. See you in the AM

RCA understood on the plating issue. I am surprised that they would even license a monster like that through a DOL office in Seattle. They must have had a stroke. When I did the intial licensing on the M54, the difference between regular and historic plates was about 300 dollars. They wanted...

Events go, breakfast, have to do the important stuff first, display, lunch, at my house, bs, parade at 1600 and then everyone is free to do what they like. There is a destruction derby at the fairgrounds followed by a fireworks show. Hope this helps. Talked with an Army NG staff Sgt. today...
