What am I doing wrong with my horn button? The old horn pieces were broken. I got a new kit for the horn button. I put the steering wheel over the steering shaft, then the metal horn finger thing, then the nut and tightened it all up. When I put the wire in place I have the split plastic...

Has anyone bought one of these Tachometers on e-pay that say they were used in the M45 tank...

I found a tool set in SW Michigan that could use a ride. If anyone is going nearby and could haul it to the South East, I could meet someplace. Or I will be at Hagerstown Military Flea Market next weekend October 14 - 17, if anyone is going that could haul it.

Has anyone had to put a sleeve on the axle shaft/hub where the grease seal rides on the M416? I have been searching but no luck finding a number for a speedy sleeve to cover the groove the last seal(s) have created.

Hi Guys, Almost 4 months ago I ran across a guy that was wanting to sell a mule. I had him send me some photos and I told him I was interested. He mentioned a price but also said he wanted to have his aircraft mechanic look at a few issues it had before he sold it. They got the old...

Of the two trucks I got from Papabear one was a runner and is put up for now. The other had been a runner at one time although PB said it would downshift on its own for no reason. I am thinking junk is in the hydraulics of the transmission. So I wanted to focus on getting it moving so I could...

Okay I have been searching and can't find it. Awhile back I saw a post where someone found a new made power plunger for the Holley carbs that was resistant to Ethanol. The picture of it showed that the seal that normally is leather was a purple color. I might have been a part that also...

I could not resist going through all the PS -Magazines on the Radio Nerds site and pulling all the G749 pages. Enjoy! Warning this thing is 25mb and 198 pages!

I found this M211 restoration site. Is this guy someone we know? He did a great job http://paulzettek.com/collection/M211.htm

Anyone up near Spokane that wants to save some parts. Go to the Spokane Craigs list site and search on: 1950's military army GMC 2 1/2 TON 6X6 BODY PARTS Some nice stuff there for the price.

I was parts picking the other day but not for the M35. The guy had a M35 fuel pump laying on a shelf among some other parts. I asked him if the pump was good. It looks almost new with some shelf wear on it. He said take it and try it and if it works then pay me. We are good friends so I...

Since there has not been much G749 action on the site I decided to post pictures of the starter I redid over the last 3 weeks in the shop. The starter that came on the M211 would only smoke when I tried it. I figured it was history since the metal cover was missing on the back of the starter...

I have a 60 gallon fuel tank that I have let sit full for 24 hours with lye inside. I rinsed it out this morning and now it is very clean inside. Above where the fuel sat for years about 1/4 of the top part of the tank there is a band of rust. This tank has a series of baffles inside...

Since the weather is keeping me from working on my fuel tank I started on my battery tray project. The battery tray that mounts on the ledge in front of the cab was rusted through on the passenger side. The drivers side is not much better. I decided to try and make my own tray using the...

My M37 before I got it had it's data plate taken that has the serial number and date of delivery. So I took the serial number from the frame and looked it up on the production dates list. It is a Feb 1953. Is there a way to estimate the delivery date for my truck? Serial number -...

This latest long weekend I decided to work on the XM211 a bit. So I started killing the rust on the passenger battery ledge. While my solution was doing its job I decided to drain the fuel tank. The previous owner said it was totally full of real gas. Yeah right. So I used a shaker siphon...

I found an M211 about 1.5 hours from my place. Really rough, engine frozen, missing components for the engine. Lots of rust but could be worse. The owner is playing the scrap value card. I really don't have a way to haul it and would have to hire it done. Not sure how much that would be...

I made a deal on a Deuce winch and would like to see if anyone is heading my way that might could haul it. The aprox 500 lb winch is located between Gettysburg and York, Pennsylvania. The current owner has a front loader to move it around. The said winch needs to come south to the...

I picked these axles up from a surplus dealer for a project I have in mind. He was not sure what kind of trailer they came from. Anyone know what trailer these came from?

I am new to the M35 trucks and my son and I have been rebuilding his brakes. We have new shoes and have the rear axle done. With the new shoes the hubs fit really close and have to be lined up just right to go on. I am working on the drivers side first rear axle. I have the shoes on and...
