Dale Look "ZIPPY" from Columbia Falls ME has past away March 25 2023, Dale was a great mechanic and long time MV owner, he helped whenever he could, he will be missed.
Public hearing on March 21 1pm room 126 in the state house for repurposed MV. A Maine MV owner with a FMTV was ordered to return his plates by DMV, Maine is or is trying to sneak in laws that we need to fight, please pass the word, the more people there the better.
I would like to upgrade to a 4bbl intake and carburetor on my M886, would like to ask if you have done this and what parts are required, like to buy new. My big concern is mating up the linkage, especially the transmission linkage on the carb.
Thanks
It's been several years since I converted to power steering on my M882, my M886 has the same power steering set up but needs a new drag link. The new surplus ones available say manual steering only, I don't recall having to change the manual steering one when I converted the M882 to power...
Is the factory steering wheel for power steering a smaller diameter than the manual steering wheel ? The power steering with the original(manual)wheel seems too easy to steer.
Thanks
Picked up this M886 from another SS member yesterday, plan is to build it into a commo truck for local ARES events and military shows.
Started today on cleaning up and removing some old parts. Trailer hitch was quite low to the ground so I removed it. The exhaust needs to be replaced and...
Now that the Gama Goat is "finished" it's time to start on another project, the M715. My first purchase was a M715 mud truck project fail, I purchased the body only, the PO sold the chassis off to a friend. The bed was rotten but it had the all important tailgate which was worth more than I...
I am trying to find what plug fits this NATO slave port adapter, I think it may have been designed for a ration heater power supply. Any help appreciated.
Thanks
All of a sudden my old reliable 882 won't stay running in the "on" position of the key. It will start and run in the "crank" position but as soon as you release the key to the "run" position it shuts right off. Any help appreciated.
First video I have seen showing the Goat with the FAAR radar system, almost looks like an early pre production goat. 9:42

Here is a rare photograph that I have in my book of a pre production 3-53 Detroit diesel engine for the Gama Goat. Can you spot the one item that is different from the production engine ?
I thought I would post my findings that it may help some one in the future. Voltage went high on my MEP-003A, 160+ VAC. Hz reading was correct but I had no control over the voltage using the voltage adjust and % load meter and voltage meter were not working. My initial thought was bad voltage...
Dave came to the rescue for me when I needed some help from the UK. His attention to detail and timeliness was amazing, could not ask for a better friend, thanks Dave:grin:.
