    Finally starting the M151A1 restoration PICS

    Sorry boys she is going to army standards. I am keeping the USMC stuff so I can reverse it if I want. The front bumper is Army but I am looking for a USMC bumper. I want to get all the stuff to put it back as a USMC in the future. I also need to get a fording kit and a fording valve. I will need...

    40,000# winch on deuce?

    Adding duals is a way to make the front float only. The axle will still be overloaded no matter how many tires you put on the front. BTW it can be done and there are military pictures with a deuce made up with duals in front. When I drove a deuce in Desert Storm I would get lazy and not air the...

    40,000# winch on deuce?

    Nevermind the tires. The deuce with a stock winch is borderline at putting the front axle over their weight limit. The bigger winch would probably cause problems with the front axle along with the tires. Your steering would really get touch also.

    CUCV STAR and Bridge plate.

    3"star. Not sure on the bridge plate. I can check when I get home but I bet someone will answer before I get it done. There are stencils and decals available. Rick Larson has them but I always get my from 67beast here on the board. He does good work and can do paint mask or decals.

    Anybody have spare Wellman 070

    The cucv should have a 12 volt plug. The round connectors are for the humvee and are 24 bolt.

    Finally starting the M151A1 restoration PICS

    The collision damage is the only problem. Both rear wheel wells are jacked and it looks like something came down on the front near the dash as the dash is buckled in the center and the passenger's side is to low. The person I got it from had already purchased a side panel and passenger's side...

    Finally starting the M151A1 restoration PICS

    Well I finally got a chance to strip the tub. Everything is off except the main brake line and the rear harness. I plan to aircraft strip the thing then follow up with some sanding and blasting followed by some red oxide to keep it real. I hope to get the job done next weekend so I can

    gen 1 light brighter

    Only when it has had a really hard collision with a cucv. If this is a cucv you should have two alternators. Did you have the driver's side or the passenger's side rebuilt? The driver's side is the one that shows up as Gen1.

    Which paint gun

    I have not had problems with spraying moisture cure carc with a 1.8MM tip cheap HF HVLP gun. I use the 1.4MM tip for the Gillespie. The 1.8mm tip is mostly used for primer but with all the solids in carc the 1.8mm works good for me.

    Is this even legal?!

    The seller can give the release to the new buyer and the new buyer could pick it up just like a carrier picking it up.

    Hydro booster replacment?

    I replaced a leaking one with one from my Junkvee and it worked out just fine. I kept the bad unit so if the "new" unit starts to leak I can requild the old unit without having to take the vehicle out of service.

    GL Wins today 10/29 - what did you buy?

    I was looking hard at the carpenter M105 trailers at Rock Island but too far to go get.

    Is GL actually a Used Car Dealer?

    Most states that require a title make it illegal to sell a car without providing a title. Still waiting to find out how they are shirting this. Even a scrap vehicle requires a scrap title. That is why they have them.

    Remote Brake Fluid Reservoir

    I would replace the hose with brake line with a small hose at the end. That much hose is asking for trouble and a leak.

    Where can I locate one of these trailer hubs?

    You want the hub for an M101A3 or A2. The A1 and straight M101 had a M37 bolt pattern.

    Moderators/Search Function?

    The problem is when other people have answered the same question 50 times they might get like me and just not care to answer it the 51st time. I like helping but find myself unwilling to go over the same stuff over and over again. I also do like to help people out and answer what I can but I...

    Name that Armored Apparatus

    The tracks are Paladin M109 series self propelled howitzers and the apparatus is used in testing. Not sure exactly what it does but it is not for anything other than testing.
