Frank, I would love to see those photos. I'm going to try to compile as much info as I can in one spot that deals with the 530's and set it up as a public accessible website for all of our fellow Steel Soldiers Members and enthusiasts to use. I'm in the process of trying to figure out a good...

This now becomes the new mission for me when I'm at work and not able to be out wrench'n or fabricating something new and cool! So far I've only been able to determine that there was only 44 of these made... with only 1 or 2 still known in existance. I'm wondering if that is actually true. I'm...

Well... Fortunately the only real rust that I've found so far is in the area of the rear step. (Nothing more than about an 3" long bit of rust through. Obviously where ther is a double wall of metal that held alot of moisture. SO, I look at this as an invitation to upgrade! Maybe I can find a...

I'm not gonna say I've got all of it, but I've got a good portion of the hard stuff... Eventually, once I get it restored I'll need to find some items... but these items should (hopefully) prove to be the more commonly available items. Speaking of the pump, when I was under there a couple of...

Engine was already free to turn with a breaker bar before I started prepping it for the tow to it's new home. :D This could be a good sign.... or a really really bad one. :shock:

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Waking a MV from a deeeeeep Scott, I am definitely interested in any online or offline info that I can find for the 530's. I am really interested in production stats and figuring out the history of this vehicle as far back as I can. Thanks! Neil

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Waking a MV from a deeeeeep sleep... That's good to hear. I really do not want to have to pull the motor for a refresh at this point in time. I'd like to get it under it's own power and start on some of the other things and try to gather all the parts I need to get the...

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Waking a MV from a deeeeeep Thanks for the welcome... I'm gonna try to get it up closer to the shop this week and start pressure washing all the mold/mildew/moss/barnicles/etc.. off of it and start to really look at what it's going to take to get it up and...

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Waking a MV from a deeeeeep sleep... Thanks for the link... It helped out alot. I'm sure that it may also be because I'm sure it wasn't 640x480... It was alot bigger... I'll adjust it to 640x480 for the next ones I post later. I'll try to snap some good shots of it as...

Re: RE: Re: RE: Waking a MV from a deeeeeep sleep... It appears to have the 331 Gold Comet gasser. Looks to be pretty much all there... I have noticed that it has a cracked exhaust manifold and is missing the elbow from the filter to the carb. Alot of the piping has been removed from the tanks...

Re: RE: Re: RE: Waking a MV from a deeeeeep sleep... Thank you! Just got done moving into my first house, first real shop, and now my first real MV! COOOL!!! Unfortunately things are gonna be real tight for a while, but it'll all be worth it! Glad to hear that there are gurus out there for...

Yeah... I tried that... BUT I FIGURED IT OUT! APPEARANTLY, the extension has to be in lower case (.jpg) not upper case (.JPG). Figured this out in the testing forum... That's a pretty handy tool! Thanks for the suggestion! Yes... your right. I had them down to about 300k which is still...

Re: RE: Waking a MV from a deeeeeep sleep... Here are some pics as she sat when I went to pick it up... I couldn't get them to go as an attachment, so here they are on my website for you to look at ... http://www.letsgettwisted.com/garage/530B/DSC02113.jpg...

Re: RE: Waking a MV from a deeeeeep sleep... Thanks for the welcome! I had a feeling that this could be a possibility... Looks like I'll try that next. Thanks again! Neil

Re: RE: Waking a MV from a deeeeeep sleep... I got very lucky when I happened across a guy who had it sitting right next to his house for 15 years and just wanted it gone! He had appearantly been trying to get it hauled off for some time...So we did our standard bargaining and so fourth... I...

O.k.... Ya'll want pics..... I've got pics.... (I'll post a few in this reply... Is there a rule of thumb as to how many can I post at one time to the site or does it really not matter?) Here ya go! Well... Maybe... I've tried adding the photos, but they do not show up in the preview... SO, if...

Hello All! I've recently become the owner of my first (with many more to come eventually) MV. At least I believe it qualifies to be called an MV. It's a 53 Reo M44 530 B! Being a new member to the Steel Soldiers site, I'd like to say a big THANKYOU to all those who have served in all of the...
