    G749 Exhaust

    It looks like the lower pipe is different on the tractor. I don't see the bend to get the pipe away from the spare tire just above the flex. I had a heck of a time recreating that one. Had to weld 2 bends as they were too close for the bender. Also, I have in hand 3 different expanded metal...

    The unofficial g749 picture thread

    That is appreciated. The Light blue and white shop van pictures came from a craigslist ad in Iowa a couple years ago. I recall it only being a 100 miles away or so. It belonged to a local HAM radio club. If I had the cash at the time I would not have purchased my yellow one. I see a lot of CD...

    First '52 XM211

    I'm back in business! Runs, shifts and kind of stops again. I wish these did not have to sit outside. The weather takes a toll on them. Red is could use a repaint this summer.

    First '52 XM211

    And spring is here. Time to clean out carbs again! And please do not state the obvious. Yes, gasoline is getting into my water. I should not have assumed the there was a seal where there was none.

    M211 302 crank bolt size

    Repower has been done many times. I bid on one with a 460 Ford with a ford automatic transmission once. I have also seen one with a small block Chevy and a 4 speed. There are some slight difficulties with linkages for shifting the transfer case Sprague clutch into reverse, but it can be done. If...

    M211 302 crank bolt size

    How about narrowing the location down a bit? If you are going south I'm dying for a MV run...

    1952 M135 W/O Winch (USMC 00-08s other truck)

    Be decisive about shifting it. Don't hesitate and most importantly don't star the windshield :roll: The first time I did it, I was too conservative and had to do it a couple times.

    If my memory is correct, I drove mine (Red) in low and shifted into high in the driveway.

    Modern Tire size for M211

    Wow, that looks good. Makes me smile!

    Finally restoring the M37

    Knowing Jim's luck it probably has 30 miles, a title and original never worn riding gear with it all for the low price of "just get it out of my garage".

    Nice find. Unfortunately I do stuff like that. I see it as $300 I'm not giving away... And now I have a storage unit full of parts I will most likely never use. Best part is I just bought out and dragged home 2 loads of some other guy's parts. Sound familiar?

    Is that an exhaust manifold?

    Project XM211

    If I remember correctly, you took everything apart then painted everything and reassembled it. I'm sure you have that much in it. New canvas? Brakes work? If you have a driver they tend to bring more money. A lot of people shy away when the hear $7 a loaded mile to haul it. Can you get it so you...

    m211 stuck in low range
