    First Annual TX MV Rally

    I don't know about everyone else, but I plan to get up, load up and head out Sunday morning since I have to be at my grandmothers 92nd b-day in Houston later in the day. Charles, you still have my number from the airshow, right? Call if you need anything. Steve, Kwai, plans to be coming up...

    MF vs Gas differences

    I will have to go measure my Gasser and Whistler grills and side covers once the rain stops.

    First Annual TX MV Rally

    The park web site says the trails are closed due to all the rain. It isn't going to get better this week either: Announcements Have they said anything to you about us still being able to even be there?

    Douglas connector change

    The head lights on the M715 have been explained to me as probably a full warehouse meant for M38A1 use. They didn't use them all up so they got thrown onto the M715. The lowest bidder has to save money somehow. The M715 ignition switch is just like the switch in all the other trucks, but...

    m715 seats

    Batteries will also fit behind the seats. One behind each seat. Still room to store the small door glass, top frame and bows even.

    Douglas connector change

    I'm sure there was a time when somebody decided "Now we only use these." However, I think it was more of a gradual change as new models came out and rebuilds of old trucks occured. M35's came with Douglas. M37's came with Douglas and even those rebuilt in the early '60's stayed Douglas...

    m715 seats

    This is really the only picture I have of mine right now. This was when I put them in back in 2006.

    m715 seats

    I have had the HMMWV seats in my M715 for almost 4 years now. They work great. Maybe just a hair too tall even on the lowest setting, but that storage box is great for stuff like rain gear and legal papers. If my belt line gets any bigger though, I will have to make some changes. Now, if...

    Tubes for 11.00-16 or 9.00-16 tires

    Make sure you talk to Rusty. He does know exactly what we need. I was in a hurry last time and didn't want to call back the next day since Rusty was off. The tubes I got had the wrong stem on them. Just mention old military trucks and he will know what you need.

    reo deuce and half question

    Military ignitions systems on the OA331 are 24 V. REO made a commercial version called the Gold Comet that had 12 volt ignitions, normal spark plugs and vacuum advance. They also made a bigger version called the 400. The OA 331 is a good steady engine to have in front of you. They sound...

    Snow in Austin

    We are getting it here now Sam. My students are arguing about how much we are going to get. I plan to have fun driving the M715 in it to Scouts tonight since it likes to slide around.

    How many quarts of DOT 5?

    Supposed to be denatured.

    How many quarts of DOT 5?

    1 quart will take a completly dry system to fully bled and full. Using a pressure bleeder that is and not much bled out because I started at the right rear rear. I would suggest flushing with alcohal. The suggestion above to redo or replace everything is actually the best advice. BFS is...

    Got my TX Former MV tag today. Easy!

    International Title Service with a bill of sale and $250. Or you could bond the title through your tax office and county. I have done both in the past and the cost is about the same. The bonded way is more legal, but takes a lot longer. Or just buy it for parts and never plan to put it on the...

    Towing M37 w/M35A2

    I flat towed my M715 behind the M35A2 last spring to a show 100 miles away. I will never do it again. I had the cargo cover on the Whistler and couldn't see the M715. Only shadows on one side, so I had to swerve every now and then just to make sure all the tires still had air in them and...

    First Annual TX MV Rally

    It is pretty easy for you Scott. Take 21 to the old Bryan AF base which is now called the Texas A&M Riverside campus where you will take Texas 47 South. The park is about 5 miles from there on the right or West side of the road. If you go over an over pass, Villa Maria, you went about 200...

    What?? No Cup Holder?

    I have found a bicycle water bottle mount zip tied to the center post of the M35 window works great for a cup holder. Sorry, no pictures here at work of it.

    11.00 air psi, up or down?

    It was nice to visit with you Andy. Sorry we couldn't talk more. Going out the light and turning onto Riverside has gotten me two years in a row now with the towed front tires turning full lock and not coming back. I think I will go out the back way to Congress next year. Yes, the singles...
