    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    The country is big and time is small I haven't been around as much as I'd like so I found a round place closer to you. It's in Alsask Saskatchewan and we're going to book a few weekends this year for visits. You still traveling with a troop? What's your mission with the trucks this year...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    We might want to talk about your girlfriend more in private messages because I have questions. We're looking for the team that fed the troops throughout operation morninglight between 77' and 79'. Was she serving then? That was the operation to go up in northern Alberta and search for a downed...

    Those raw videos are just awesome. Pure in the true form of fine video and you sir, are a treat to listen to. I haven't heard you swear yet! I'm just sitting here eating popcorn hoping we get lucky enough to take it for a spin.

    Frara jaka, frara jaka, dor may voo, dor may voo, sellamenatino, ding dang dong. That's the only French I know. You've been gone gone gone you've been gone so long! Hope that trip had a camera along with it!! I don't know how long we talked about M133's, Memorial Day Deuces, Deuces on a guys...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    A great big huge congratulations on the most recent purchase. I know we're all looking forward to detailed pictures of the drive-train. When you mentioned Clark it kinda tied back with Firefox's photos of the Clark tag on his trans. I'm slowly catching on! The STARTER would need to match the...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    That's just beautiful Scotty. If the prairies don't start producing snow again I might need to move. Great video, the sound is good so that truck sounds sharp. Seeing the troubleshooting with the parts swap makes the work look easy. :beer: Thanks for following up with the pics,,,,,"that" ....is...

    The view man.....the view. What snow? I don't see any snow! The last pic we got from you,,,,,,things looked like this. We haven't had any big snowfalls for a while so it's good seeing the joy you guys are going through. My good friend out of Campbellton said they would keep the shovels...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    Awesome info.....not the finger......I cringe when I think of not being able to play guitar every night.....the valve info. I set mine warm, not hot so thought that's what I did wrong but I'm going to tweak it again. Yes on the carb boss!!! I still have one on the shelf so I can definitely use...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    That sounds like a lot of good RPM going to waste.....get in er' and drive it man. lol. I guess I'm pulling my valve cover again and re-setting valves. Mine's not that quiet. Great job! Thanks for the tip on the 5.9 accelerator pump seal.....I'll help USMC-008 add it to the 'parts list' by...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    I sure wish we were closer so I could eat some lobster that hasn't been frozen for a week. How ya doin' neighbour? I need a few more years of mechanical beatings before I give carb advice and I know who's setting my valves next time. That's a sewing machine brother! .....not that us boys know...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    Most of the trucks I've seen up here have them. Usually they're tucked up above and beside the hitch, inside the rear cross-member. The B/O plate was mounted to the right side of the rear pumpkin. It doesn't show up in the electrical schematic or ORD 7 SNL G-749 so we'll need some aged...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    G749 black out I hear rumors that the troops would pull these off trucks and use them as electrical testers, which is supposed to make them rare. This is the black-out light that mounts inside the back of the G749 frame and points toward the diff. In the Early Canadian Deuces, a white, steel...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    I've buried more MV friends and wrote more "get well" cards than I'm prepared for this year so will you guys just stop it.........what in Sam's health were you doing in the hospital???? You're making some serious progress and I'm full of bunker envy. In the beginning of the Cold war, from the...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    Something about that round switch attached to the steering wheel that makes me twitch. I'll buy the next round of steak and potatoes if you can get a peak at the numbers stamped into the side of the frame behind the wheel. I know a guy that drilled wells with an M135 pole setting, auger style...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    I always thought there was only 1 answer for this so I searched "xm211 difference" and found an explanation with additional info...... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?101969-xm211-vs-m211 The first info I learned was that it was an Early truck.....or experimental. Now I learn that...

    I was going to warn you about that! These are herd animals and will not stay in the pasture alone for very long. That one looks like someone loved it like a prize winning bull. Is the paint really that good or are you just a great photographer? Looks sweet!! I can't read the date on the data...

    Now we're talking! You do have rifle holders, that'll be handy to hold a stack of beer, seeing that we don't have any guns. Tell us if that M211 has CDN on the data plate. I have a M211CDN which is close to complete and if you have one, then Canada is covered. Looking forward to photos and the...
