For the past many years I have volunteered my M35 to drive veterans in the Westminster MD Memorial Day parade. I am not a veteran but I honor the older vets by driving them in the parade. I was prepping my truck today and noticed that a significant fuel leak had started at the connection to the...

Subscribed. I know that this is an older thread but the information is incredibly valuable. Thanks to everyone who has posted.

You make some very valid and concerning points. The Aberdeen show will probably continue for now, as you stated that there is actually no legislation (yet) that may restrict current registered vehicles, but in time our rights to operate these vehicles on the road may be challenged. There are...

I have several 2 1/2 Ton and 5 Ton vehicles tagged "Historic" which I use in compliance with MD law.;M35, M816, M818 and 817. I use them for shows, parades, outreach programs for ministry and for pleasure. The concern that I have after reading all of this is; are we subject to not having...

Patracy, I found your post about the membership map when I was searching for the link tonight. I always found it to be a useful resource when planning local events, thanks for your efforts.

SUBSCRIBED, want to come. Tom

It doesn't seem that there is much interest this year. Anybody going? Tom

If you register your MV in Maryland as Historic, you are not required to have a MD State inspection. With historic tags you are limited to driving your vehicle to shows, your mechanic, limited pleasure drives, parades and other similar events. If you use it as a daily driver or use it as you...

It is best to use a heat sink between the electrical component and the termination where the solder connection will be made. A heat sink can be as simple as an alligator clip or anything else that will absorb heat close to the component to protect it against excessive heat while soldering. Make...

I don't recommend using a block with a crack in any location; with expansion and contraction the crack could migrate. I'd see if you can find a good rebuildable engine or block, you'll be glad you did in the long run. Good Luck

I've been going to the Aberdeen show since about 85 and have only missed it a few times. It is not the same show as it was on the Aberdeen Proving Grounds but it is still a great place to see some great vehicles, pick up some good parts at the flea market and hang out with friends. Your son...

I agree with Drock, the only time I've taken a driveshaft into a shop for work is when I have a damaged yoke or shaft and I can't fix it myself. GL was famous for fork-lifting their CUCV's and bending the drive shafts; the only way to fix them was to buy new or repair. When I replace my u-joints...

Sounds great. What are the details?

I always add either 2 stroke oil or good clean hydraulic oil at 32/1 to make up for the lack of lubrication that is eliminated with the ultra low sulphur diesel. The injection pump was designed to operate on the fuel that was available at the time the vehicle was manufactured, the ULSD does not...

I have had the same problem with several of my trucks including my two shop body units. The repair for my problem was solved with replacing the nylon bushings and the springs. Some of the bushing and spring sets come with springs that are not as strong (compression wise) as the OEM's. The way to...

Jim, I'm not sure how to merge the two threads. When did you start your thread? The latest info that I got today from MPTV was that they extended the deadline for registration and will allow anyone that wants to display military vehicles - equipment to do so until May 20. I believe that the...
