    PNW Info Thread!

    Oh, fine Scott. You'll drive over to see dodgedougak, but to see your little buddy...well ... I guess that's when all of your enthusiasm flies out the window? All kidding aside, I would attend a dry side rally. Lots of great long, flat roads running through pretty scenery over in Wallowa for...

    My new to me Gama Goat

    Thanx, So I assume that is screwed to the top? Mine doesn't have the side rails, up & down, either. Time to find a parts top or new arctic top.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    So does royal brass and hose have a part # for those hoses? And proud of the hoses is RB&H? None of my local farm hydraulic or brake folks wanted to remake mine, even using my old hose connectors for parts. No RB&H out here, but maybe by mail.

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    Most of the auto parts chain stores have tool loan programs. You leave a deposit of the price of a tool, then get it back when you return it. Call around tomorrow and see if any have the torque range you need. Then if you like the tool, you just keep it. Lots of specialty tool listed on the...

    My new to me Gama Goat

    Lookin good. Should be easy to match the hunter green if you want to rattle can the whole rigg. Turn it into 3 color and it would match your forest surroundings better than 383. Would you be interested in taking some up close pix of where you wind screen meets the hard top? My top has an air...

    Goat treasure found in Oklahoma

    Great score on parts. And thanks for the post, I was going thru goat gab withdrawal. So where does one store the truss kit when not in use? And don't say the garage. Was it just thrown in the cargo compartment? My trunk is full with a commo shelter. They thought of that nifty little door...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    That just sux. Did you soak the cylinder and crank case with lots of kroil, kerosene, or sea foam. Unless you really want to pull the power pack, I would soak, set it in the sun, wiggle it a little bit. Lather, rinse, repeat. Not really rinse, just let sit, wiggle, sit and see if you get any...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Thanx for taking the time to check the glass out. I was planning to go the glass shop route. Just have to remove the back panel. I had the local glass shop make up the 4 sliding windows in the doors.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Nice pics, especially the rear steering box. I have only seen the box through the service hole in the access plate. Good luck on rocking the engine free.

    Gama gama hey!

    Well I got lucky and found one of the accessories I wanted for my goat. The s250/g communigations shelter. It was on about1.5 hour trip each way. So I loaded up some straps and 1-1/4" pvc pipe and headed towards Ellensburg. The shelter was on camper jacks and facing toward the road (that was...

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    Thanks combat32. Are the studs that the cover mounts to secured to the body, or do you have to put a wrench on the backside of the mounting bolt?

    Thanks. It would have been nice for someone to have relocated mine for me.

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    If you get a chance, grab some pictures of how the cover comes off of the +24v terminal strip / buss bar that sits below the radiator. This is the junction point of the battery cable, slave cable, & starter cable. Thanks Tony.

    Gama gama hey!

    I am trying to hook up a slave cable socket to the Gama Goat's electrical system. Who can tell me the secret to removing the buss bar cover that is located below the radiator? I can reach the driver's side cut out in the cover. Got a 9/16 wrench on top of the lock. But I think the bolt is...

    My New Gama Goat Project

    No worries on the that one, most of that will just buff right out. :) Nice project. There is still a lot of good parts there. They can't all be trailer queens.

    Gama gama hey!

    Well that made a world of difference. The new MC has stiffened up the brake peddle. I bled the rear and there was a bit resistance at the end of the peddle. The after bleeding the center the peddle became really hard. I will get to the fronts tomorrow. I think I remember reading that the...

    Gama gama hey!

    I too had soft brakes. I had replaced the rubber lines, even having to remove the coil spring on the passenger rear for access. I cleaned up the brake quick disconnects between the tractor and trailer. None of it helped. So I had the same master cylinder (MC) that you used sitting on the shelf...

    Possible acquisition

    It rolls, so you can move it. It looks to have glass, so it can sit in the rain, under a tarp and not get any worse than it is, as you figure out what to do next. You had the tools to recover & transport it to its new home. So you didn't have to invest dollars in a wrecker, only the...
