    The unofficial g749 picture thread

    Finally, my 53 M211w/w,52 M211wow,54M211 parts truck, and 71m35a2 by Jeep. Pictures taken with cell phone. Group shop, phone was new, single shot phone has been in my pocket to long, that's why it's foggy. Still don't know why it worked this time, and not the others, but some success leads to...

    One thing I forgot to mention, my wife gave me a new computer for Christmas,(I ruined my other one by allowing a virus in with a bad keystroke). My new computer is windows 8.1.

    The unofficial g749 picture thread

    I'm going to try again, I got it to work once so I should be able to do again, right? Wrong, the first time I did it when I clicked on insert image it brought up a window saying "from computer"/"from url",with the open line below with "browse" at the end of the blank line. I then clicked...

    The unofficial g749 picture thread

    I have 3 m211s. Two were volunteer fire tankers, one was parts truck that formerly had a fertilizer spreader on it, so none of them have beds. I posted pictures for the first time today, so now that I know how I will try to start a build thread. Only one runs at this point. Some day, if I win...

    54 XM-211 Reverse Only

    I purchased a m211 that the trans. was exploded, not from action but from being shifted into reverse while being driven down the road. When I purchased the truck I also received a parts truck with an intact trans. Went through the work of swapping trans from one truck to the other so that I...

    I'm Thinking About Buying A Tank

    Took me a minute and still didn't notice till I read jbayer's comment. You could put that up at Christmas with all the other blowup décor.

    I did a bad bad thing

    By the way, XchaosX, nice job on the deuce, I'm like a lot of the others on this forum and hate to see a truck parted out that is so repairable.

    Another M35A2 Tractor Conversion With A Major LDT-465-1C mods

    I'll just say, if the nucklehead on the dirt bike would have been me you would have wondered, What was that that just flew by? Mud rideing was my specialty, I have gotten older though and the connection between brain and wrist has gained strength.:D

    Will a lds465-1a interchange with a ldt465-1c and what is the differance?

    another update, The lds engine went too high and I missed it, but did end up with 8 11.00x20 tires. They remained to good a deal to pass up. Some of them still have the rubber nips of them they are so new. As the state just filled on me for 15 year old child support payments they have lost...

    Will a lds465-1a interchange with a ldt465-1c and what is the differance?

    Thanks again guys for the info. Just to give a little more info, The con rod had already escaped the block when I bought the truck. The ldt engine in the crate is out of my volunteer fire departments tanker. I was the driver on call when it began missing, It ran fine on the way to the fire...

    Will a lds465-1a interchange with a ldt465-1c and what is the differance?

    OK, I believe I have come across a good deal. From what I have read on other related strings, the lds is out of a 5 ton and has about 50 more horse power. The ldt is out of the 2.5 ton and will interchange with the lds. I will have to change out the bell housing and clutch assy. and maybe some...

    Will a lds465-1a interchange with a ldt465-1c and what is the differance?

    I have a m35a2 with a White engine, ldt465-1c. THis engine has a hole where a con rod escaped the block. I also have a ldt465-1d engine in a crate from our local vfd's tanker truck. We are pretty sure it has a blown head gasket. I have found a rebuilt engine in crate from a local auction...
