Here is the good news. Both brushes were broken and one wire burned off. Armature was scored as well. Last pic is new brushes and rubber isolator/mounts. Notice the brushes do not interchange. That one with the D shape end is tough to keep in and install the threaded cap. Use something round...

I must say, be careful if you decide to take the wire off the pump. The nut is secured with a set screw on the side and there are rubber isolators/seals inside and some tension. Just enough crap to make it hard to get threaded back on. Threads are VERY fine and easily cross threaded. Pull the...

I decided to back out the screws that secure the rubber isolators. I found it best to take them all the way out. It is misleading because the isolators were loose. The screws were longer than I thought and just burried in the rubber like a set screw. Stick an awl in the rubber and pry it out...

After disconnecting and taping the electricals, I pulled the whole assembly out of the fuel tank. Take the bolts out and pry it up with a prybar. It was kind of stubborn. You can see there is a rubber grommet at the bottom that holds the assembly secure. Mine took some effort to get broken...

I thought I'd share a few pics of my overhaul of the carter 24v electric fuel pump. The pump just quit working. I picked up a couple kits from the friendly Butch Atkins. I was concerned because it had only the electrical parts. After pulling the pump apart, I see there is nothing else to wear...

It would not be so bad if you posted pics of the mod. You have been a little lax on the pictures lately....

Glossy 'cause it is wet. Full of finger prints now. (I keep checkin to see if it is dry)

Looks good! Did you ever find a home for the 109 box?

Got the bottom side of the tank sanded and painted today. I'll rebuild the pump tonight and paint the topside in the morning before work. Should be in bu Wednesday!

Look under the dash. There may be a duct that hose should fit on. I'll try to find a pic. Found the pics. Go to the "Hardtops and heater" thread post #4. Also, I cannot tell if your dash has the vent slots just below the windshield or if they were covered by the new dash.

Quote: "Question: What's the best way to clean the tanks? Fill and drain, or take them off and flush them out somehow?" Ask 20 people and I bet you get at least 12 different answers. The other 8 eight will be "Take it to someone else" I think the tanks are coated with lead or solder on some...

Watch your fuel tanks. The pumps are electric and expensive! If the tanks are full of corrosion, disconnect them or clean them first. I've had good luck with a clean lawnmower gas tank gravity feeding from the roof to get things started. Then you can see what you have and work back from there. I...

Quote: "It was about 1/2 mile from the cellar to the shop. I grinned and made engine noises the whole way!:lol: " Did ya get some spit on the inside of the windshield? That is why the windshields were originally hinged. Maybe you should turn the wiper around so it wipes inside???? :cookoo:

Thanks for posting that one. Your good to have around Harleyhouse. You put a lot of time into the forum. I appreciate it. [thumbzup] I've spent more time and effort looking for specific things. Sometimes you have the itch and need to just get the job done. I'd be proud of that one.

Thank you for the posts! Looking at the rams horn style exhaust manifold and oil filler cap you have a early small block chevy. I'm interested as to how it performs. I sure would like to see come close up pics of the cab roof and windshield frame on truck 1. It looks like it would be a...

Nice looking truck Jim.

Definitely worthy of some pictures. Thank you for your posts :beer:

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. THANK YOU for the pictures! I see a lot of potential there. (extended or 4 door cab or find 3 beds and make 2 long ones) Question: Could they be M135 models? I ask because they have single rear wheels and the hubs look to be M135. M220 had them a little differences...

I saw something like that on a M35a3. Thought the second set of mounts would provide me with 4 mounting points for a motorcycle carrier or something like that. I found a set for my other truck too. Any way the truck drove like a car without the #300 winch on it. We will see how much effort...

It is time to make some progress on the M211. '8 and GF got me all fired up today. I went thru all the trucks and parts and made a pile for each truck. Now that I found everything, I may as well get back to assembly. Decided to mount the Garwood Winch back on the truck. The previous owner sold...
