    WSUCougarx's M561 Gama Goat Acquisition and Build Thread

    I was mistaken on the wire identification, after looking closer at the picture the wire that was loose is the + connection, the smaller wire with the Packard connector is the sense wire. Still same outcome as reported before, no fault of the electrical system will cause your engine to run...

    WSUCougarx's M561 Gama Goat Acquisition and Build Thread

    I don't think it would damage either, the worst it might do is arc weld the stud a little bit.

    WSUCougarx's M561 Gama Goat Acquisition and Build Thread

    The 3-53 requires no power to stay running, it's all mechanical, once the starter gets her going it doesn't care about power. That wire is the sense wire for the alternator, it tells the alternator to "turn on". Being loose it may have been turning the alternator on and off causing the engine...

    Did you ever check with whitepost to see what it would cost to rebuild yours?

    Transfer case oiling

    If you put the transfer in neutral and select 4th gear you can watch the oil "pulse" through that clear tube, it is barely moving, Lucas additive is your best insurance. I have seen the tube extended out through the air duct but I would worry that the minimal flow would not lubricate properly.

    Goat Project

    Looks like the positive lead going to the alternator, however it would have to be a self exciting one wire alternator to work as wired. Is it making voltage when running? Congrats on the new addition. OK, missed that it is working but no juice to batteries. You will need to trace that...

    Is this a good deal?

    I swapped out my M1010 transmission in my driveway lying on a sheet of plywood and I did not have to jack up the truck at all, proud to say I did it all by myself, getting the transmission flopped on to the trans jack was tricky but job done.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Since I'm waiting for some inbound document bag hanger parts thought I would post just what's inside one. Here is the typical items found inside, -10 operators manual, equipment record folder(camo), DD1970 motor equipment utilization record, lube order, pre-post operators check list, DA2404...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Guess it's time to disclose the generous offer I received, a personnel heater kit, not often encountered and will come in handy in this Northern climate. Looks like a visit to the NH compound will be in order for the pick up. I may try and talk him out of that dash mount radio while I'm there...

    Plastic dash replacement

    Here are some pictures of what is on the M880 dash, dash top a real pain to remove, instrument cluster, cluster face and heater controls. The top is held on with pal nuts and are difficult to reach and of course won't turn off by hand. The heater control shown is missing the fan switch. These...
