first cut... Here are some pics of the first cut. I need to pass a BIG thank you to Gerald, George, Skipper, Eric and Franz. Each brought a special talent to the table. We had a great weekend. The measurements were double checked and the cutting began. Started first cut at 2:15p and had...

turrets I have some uncut Cadillac Gage Turrets available if interested. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

purist... I feel you guys and I am not a purist. I have measured several ways and there is no easy fix via the idler wheel. If there was then it would certainly be the preferred path. On the up side, the completed conversion will be M113 spec and it will not "look" like a conversion... it...

buy it... It will leave me short-sheeted because I would not be able to complete the conversion but... Yes. I have not yet cut the body so speak now or forever hold your peace. I expect to cut it this week or by the latest next weekend. I have a line on some M113s so I will hold on to the...

wheel Drive it on... I wish it were just that easy. :grd: The track was hitting the idler wheel arm in that pic. I could not get the wheel to fully seat against the hub flange because of this. The arm needs to rotate to the rear of the vehicle for it to clear. In the pic I have the...

Dave... I don't really care if I sell it. It is a lot of fun. After this conversion the price will change from $60K to $95K. The track kit alone is $40K from Soucy in Canada. The only other one I know of in private hands is camo and was also on Dave's site. It is now in a museum and in...

I saw this on a trip recently. Anyone know what it is? Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

tracks... Yes, We have a pile of track pads. Fresh off of the Goodyear production line. However, this conversion has become an obsession. Here are some pics to show how the rubber tracks will not fit. Since these pics I have removed one of the track bump plates in the trackwell and have...

use vs history I battled with useability vs history on this one. There are only 2 of these in private hands in the US. I know of 2 others on military bases in the US. In truth... I have had this machine for years and I would not have known of the different dimensions if I had not...

thanks Thanks for the idea. I appreciate you for considering the help/idea. Justin Wehring

Idler wheel I removed the adjuster from the idler wheel hub to allow full movement. Still cant get it over the bare hub. Remember... 6" of body = 12" of track! I even looked at moving just the idler wheel but the only way to make it look as-factory is to remove the material on both sides of...

Drama.... got to bob a tracked machine. Well this is a new one... got to bob a tracked machine. OK folks. It is clear to me that Mr. Murphy LOVES driving the XM474. This is one of the most snake bit projects I have worked on in a LONG time. This rubber track conversion has been HARD...

AC I will find out but I will be off radar for over a month. All I know about it is that he said he paid 5-6K to have it built and in hindsight for the NHC250 they would have gone with a powersteering pump driven compressor. it was made by a company in Houston. I would love to have AC in my...

turning radius These trucks have a great turning radius bobbed. It is big but it does not "drive" big after bobbing it. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

The dark side Richard, I never thought Tim would come over to the dark side either (M939 series) but he did. There are SO many reasons to go with these truck. Power steering, 65 mph cruising speed, 8.3 Cummins (BIG PLUS), super singles, auto tranny.... the list goes on. I think the M939A2...

AC vents Thanks Tim. Just took some pics of the AC ducts. I did not install the AC so I can't be of much help with information. The one behind the seat is great. I would not have thought of putting it there but that is why we share info on here... Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

I am wet from head to toe from working in this South Texas climate... just completed a bobbed M923. I installed one of my double receiver hitches and it has COLD AC!!!! Unfortunately it is not mine and it is leaving tomorrow. I also leave tomorrow for the AC12 Alaska Convoy. Talk about...
