Yep, it's an addiction. :whistle:

It's taken almost a year of working on getting this find home. But you can still find stuff out there if you hunt it down. It is supposed to be an older rebuild that was done for a municipality in up state NY. This older guy was clearing out stuff so his kids don't have to do it. So the...

It's almost summertime and the trucks are among the flowers.

Just got back from the Aberdeen flea market in Maryland. Look what I found among a pile of pipes and parts in a big box on the back of a trailer!

Yep those are your two guys there.

We had our first snow of the season down here in the southern US. I thought I would share a photo of the old soldiers.

Have you used that pack yet? I wonder it having sat so long should it be checked internally before it's used?

It started by me winning a soft top bow on e-pay for $15. I talked to the guy on the phone up in Illinois about a friend of mine driving down from Chicago to pick up the bow. He was telling me how he had sold his truck. So I asked if he had any left over parts. Sure enough he had the air...

Oh I rebuilt the starter using parts from another one. Turns over nice now.

Today the Postal Service brought my Christmas present! NOS G749 Airpack rebuild kit!

I think it is the starter as I have been turning the engine by hand with a wrench and it turns freely.

I am following that start up process I posted awhile back. I have the plugs out and put the squirts of marvel mystery oil in the cylinders. I charged up the two batteries I already had so I have 25 volts. I checked it with a meter. I took jumper cables and hooked the batteries directly up to...

What makes me feel stupid is that I knew better. I have rebuilt over 8 different kinds. The hardest was a 1984 Honda CRX. On the M211 I took one of the idle screws out of the spare carburetor that looks like the one from the M211 but the base is different. Maybe from a Comet? The idle...

Ok, I am rebuilding the carburetor on my M211. I have an NOS rebuilding kit. I cleaned the carb up and doing the reassemble. The new idle screws are a brass where the old ones where steel. I put the new ones in just to see how they fit and I guess trying to seat them and back them out, I...

I wanted to get the truck started before winter and I still might be able to get that done. Other things keep getting in the way. But I did get her under cover for winter. She barely fits inside!!! Oh and you can see the pile of junk that I scooped up out of the bed.

Dang am I having a stupid stretch. aua I was still trying to get the carburetor apart and my Father in-law had one he bought somewhere that does not fit anything he has. He brought it over and I took one look at the top and dumb, I missed the 5th center screw that holds the air horn on. It...

Anyone ever see a pre-cleaner mounted on the intake of the air cleaner? Other MVs I have seen have one. All I see is the flange for I guess attaching the fording pipe to the air cleaner. If it had has a pre-cleaner it would have kept the sycamore balls out of the air cleaner that some mouse...

Well I went by the local hydraulic line company after work. They claim to have every hose. But they did not have a flexible line that had the flair type ends and could not make one. They could make the same as the original metal hard lines. So unless I change my fittings I might have to go...

I like the idea of flexible hose. Getting the old one off was a pain in the *** and I ended up cutting it off of the lower hose. Since I was replacing the top one I figure to replace the bottom one too. Going back in with a flexible one would be easier. I am not going for a show points...

I was working on the M211 on Sat and was checking out the coolant line that runs from the water pump to the transmission oil cooler. Up near the water pump it was paper thin! So I went to try and get it off and the pipe could not be saved. Anyone ever get this pipe with the big flair fittings...
