Hi How about a photo? Somebody may have a similar problem on a different vehicle and found a solution. I've stretched the shop type rubber gloves over fuel caps. Cheers Phil

Hi Ben Great looking country side to drive in. Keep us posted on your work. Cheers Phil

Hi All Does anybody have good photos of the different types of rims? Cheers Phil

50 Days Until Weare Rally Hi All Only 50 days until the Weare Rally, in New Hampshire starts. This will be our 30th Rally in Weare, I was just updating the Camper Registration Map and the camping spaces are going fast only 9 campsites left. We've heard the convoy to the rally may be in the...

Hi Merle You probably figured on doing something like this when reinstalling the head, but I thought mention it, I used several long bolts with heads cut off and slots in the end as guides. *i You probably can see the similarity between your engine and mine as the both share a common...

Hi Dave Congratulations on the cover girl. Canadian vehicles on the cover of Army Motors are relatively rare. Cheers Phil

Hi Welcome aboard from Southern New Hampshire, now looking at the map Madawaska, ME is about as far north as you can go in Maine. In MV driving time that would be about a two drive for me. Cheers Phil

Hi Merle Sounds like a plan, keep the engine openings buttoned up, plugged while your working. I've had criteria store acorns and Decon pellets under the exhaust valves on engines I was working on that were mounted on the engine test stand. Now I tape up any opening or stretch used rubber...

Hi Merle Great restoration series, if I hadn't gotten side tracked in to CMPs I'd probably have a M135 I loved driving those trucks. Now to your problem of a half finished engine left open to the elements, been there done that, in the end I took the whole engine out and had boiled out at...

Hi Where do you post information about interesting MVs that come up For Sale? Example recently a SteelSoldiers member said he wanted a body for a CCKW one of my local MV club members has one For Sale along with several other CCKW trucks. (Yes, I've put the two in contact.) Is it OK to post...

Question- with type and vintage connector are the wires or connectiors tinned or soldered? On some older MVs the wires were dipped in soldier before the connector was put on and crimped. Some were then soldiered again after crimping. Cheers Phil

Hi I went simple, when I put in my transfer switch I wired in a out side light socket near the generator connection on the garage where the generator lives, it is wired into the utility side of the transfer switch with a 15amp screw in fuse. When the utility power is there the light is normally...

Take the cab top off let the noise out Hi Know that this might sound snarky, but think about it for a moment with the cab top off the sound goes bye your ears only once as it exits the cab. With the cab top on the noise in the cab gets to bounce around and go bye your ears several times. I...

Hi Might I ask a really stupid question, are you 100% sure the tank vent is not plugged? Reason I ask, is my gas 3ton shut down on over the weekend when I took it out to pack down a heavy wet snow here in NH ground to soft to plow and after 10 to 15 minutes of running at half throattle in...

Hi Robert Thanks very much for your response helps put the issue in perspective. I was just concerned that that some insurance company had got it in its head that Military Vehicle Shows where inherantly high risk. We do have big MVs trail rides etc. and in 30 years (knock on wood) never even...

Hi Expect the reason for low voter turn out is bad weather. I'm relatively new to SteelSoldiers so I've been using my voting as sort of a gauge of my understanding of the forum. So far I haven't voted for a single MV picture that has won. But that's probably why, the actual picture is...

That is a neat little video, thanks for sharing. Cheers Phil

Hi Guys Just curious what was different that this particular event should have high insurance cost for the event? Have they had claims against the policy in the past, some activity that the insurance company didn't like? Our club is holding it's 30th rally this summer and insurance has...
