Heck yeah we need parts!! my XM-211 needs a horn, the hood supports, the drivers rearview mirror. What kind of top does it have, hard or canvas? If it's a canvas job, need that too. The plate that covers the hole where the winch was is another part I need but if that one had a winch, it...

Thanks Jim for the info/reminder. It's been a long time since i tinkered with a motor I could pick up with one hand. Might even be fun for a change:-). It's going to get a thorough cleaning, inside and out. If I keep it, it'll need it to be used. If I sell it, I don't want to sell someone a...

Isaac, I like your GL win, looks like a great way to move water. If I had a source of water like your pond, I'd look at competeing for one of them. Since I don't, maybe I'll make due with what i got. To see if I was just wasting time, I fired up the motor by pouring some gas in the carb...

Good point, missed that. Wonder what the D is for? Gues I'll have to do some research if I get rid of it.

No railroads, roger.

When I bought the M52A2 from the fire district, it had been oufitted with a water tank. In the back compartment was a pump/motor setup with all the valves to run water in whatever method they needed. The side compartments had several hoses, condition unknown. One interesting thing is there is a...

Thank you for the education. I've only received and signed paperwork on three of my trucks but they (the seller) were the GL customer, not me. The paperwork said nothing about returning the trucks to the Gov't though. Just that I couldn't sell them to foreigners. Somehow I doubt they (the...

Plan B it is. Too many things to fix/repair/rebuild to make it into a tractor. I'll take the damaged bed off the XM-211, cut the sides off and make it into a flat bed. The difference in length between the XM-211 and the M52A2 is 3 inches. Plenty of holes in the frame rails so all I need to get...

Sounds like a cascade failure. Each piece of your starter system is going bad. Individual parts may still work marginally by themselves but when added together with the rest, failure occures. 12+ years since any maintenance was required is quite a record to be proud of. It sounds to me like...

If it's made of rubber, replace it. Fuel lines that is. There is an opening somewhere in the system leting air in. Also, try checking the tightness of the screw on filter. Might need an extra half turn.

For a running truck, it's an OK price IMHO. With the dump bed gone, you have the ability to make it into anything you want. My 5 ton used to be a tractor. Soon it will be a flat bed. If I can ever get all the parts to make it into a tractor again (lots of them out there, just cant get them...

Not sure what I'm ging to find once the tank comes off. I'm hoping it can be reconverted to a tractor. Plan B is to take the sides off a damaged 12 foot cargo bed and make it into a flat bed.

Finally got a funtioning fuel system. A little background: when I picked up the truck, it's batteries were dead. Known problem and was prepared for it. The station guys had the truck jumped and ready to be test driven. After the test drive, I shut it down to do a leak check, none found. Jump...

Subscribed. Great thread..now I think I know what to do with all that contaminated diesel out of my M52A2 primary tank.. It was so bad, a chunk of asphalt came out while I was cleaning it. Right now...about 35-40 gallons of oil/diesel/dirt/gack is just plain nasty, no water thank goodness...

I wish they had that here in WY. State law prohibits that type of policy as near as I can tell for the big trucks. My M1009 and 64 Corvair can get the same policy you have. M1009 is my spare driver so it has to have a standard plicy and the Corvair is patiently waiting in the garage for a...

All of my MVs are insured with State Farm. It is a state by state company. What works here in Wyoming, won't work where some of you are. All my 2 1/2 tons and 5 ton are commercial policies but are less than 200 every 6 months. On the other hand all but the 5 ton and M1009 are Pioneer...

Well the show was very impressive. Lots of custom cars, trucks, bikes, just plain WOW. But there was only two MVs there; my '72 AmGen M35A2 WO/W and a friends 1942 Dodge Ambulance. Both of us went to just have fun. With all the glitter around, we kinda stuck out like a couple sore thumbs...

Hi All Sorry for the short notice:oops: but tomorrow at Frontier Park will be the 5th Annal Children's Miracle Network Car and Bike Show. Myself and another local MV enthusiast will be there. He will have his 1943? Dodge Ambulance and I'll have my 1972 M35A2 WO/W done up in Desert Storm...

Last time I was at Cherry Point (sometime in 2005) was for a very specific reason: a mishap investigation where i had the privelage of using and breaking their turbine engine test cell...long story, very embarassing. Any way, things to see: if you find you want some piece of uniform that you...

1986 m1009 Carnac I should have done this sooner. Had the truck for almost two years but....anyway, here you go. Donation to follow. 1. 1G8ED18J6GF113580 2. CU3548 (note: there was another # before this one. It had been mostly removed. Started out with NF, the rest wasn't readable) 3...
