I purchased new rubber lines as well. The brake shoes in the back look new and the drums are perfect so nothing to worry about there. I haven't pulled the drums on the front yet but hopefully they will be in the same shape as the rear. I also haven't tested the existing brake fluid yet and...

I went ahead and ordered a new MC and new wheel cylinders. Brakes are the most important part of a vehicle in my opinion. I checked the MC once again and down in the throat of the fill tube is absolutely packed almost solid with black gunk, almost certainly decomposed rubber. Who knows what...

Thanks. I took another look at the Winter Verdant and I agree with you. I'm now going to paint it in the MERDC Winter Verdant. I've ordered the paint. However, I've got a lot of work to do before I do significant painting. I started the A2 today for the first time once I re-mounted the fuel...

I trashed the ROPS on the M151A2. Good riddance. My Milwaukee Sawzall did it in. Can you imagine being in an M151A2 with all the webbing surrounding you when someone opens fire and disables the vehicle and you try to exit the 1/4 ton quickly? I imagine everyone has seen the cartoon called...

I'm trying to decide what camo / paint to use on the A2. It currently has MERDC paint on it with some non-MERDC touchups. I can't tell if it is Summer Verdant or Winter Verdant as the paint has faded. The A2 is a 1979 TOW model, so this was before the NATO 3-color camo came out in 1983 and it...

I just received the brackets today. I am very impressed with the quality!

How much do you charge for a set? I like the 51-R by the way. EDIT: Sorry, I just ordered a set from Fil Bonica.

I finally got the M151A2 home from Pennsylvania, a 13 hour drive each way in my F250 pulling a U-haul car trailer. I put the M151A2 on the U-haul and put the M416 in the back of my F250. It turns out the M151A2 was a TOW vehicle. The data placard was a replacement that wasn't filled in with a...

I just purchased an M151A2 with M416 trailer, but won't pick it up until sometime next week. I'll add photos once I pick it up. This is a virtually complete 1/4 ton with top, doors, ROPS, etc. It has been in inside storage for decades. The engine runs fine. However, it needs new batteries...
