I've done several threads along these lines in the past: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?72872-Working-on-the-M37 http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?65360-Working-on-the-MKT http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?121212-Working-On-The-M923A2 I simply like to have a...

I am currently trying to access the site from my home computer and keep getting a 503 error. This is occurring on multiple computers so not quite sure what is going on. Once these technical difficulties have been resolved I'll be posting pics.

Well since GSA has started selling Goats I had to pick one up. Well I'll pick it up in March when the snows melt in Idaho.

Is there any work around on priming a MEP generator other than the fluid passage bolts on top of the filter canisters? I bought a couple out of Ft Hood and got one running without too much grief but when I went to swap filters on the 2nd I found that they had swapped out the original bolts with...

...but things finally catch up with you. I've been lucky in my CUCV purchases. Worst one was a M1009 that GL modified not only the driveshaft but the transfer case as well. Other than that I've bought 5 CUCVs sight unseen and always came out fairly well. Until now. Picked up my latest...

I'm trying to decide whether to purchase a new project. There are 2 M151A1s, a driver with carb problems and a parts vehicle. Both are missing the windshield assemblies. They appear to be "deer lease" type vehicles and doubt they've been driven on the road since they were surplused. I...

Anyone have the knowledge as to what the specific application this AC unit is for? My plan is to use it in my 30x40 shop, which would have been a whole lot easier prior to moving my MEP003 to the back of the property near the power pole for emergency power. Now I'll either have to move it back...

And before it comes in: yes I did a search (939-air-compressor-governor-adjustment) and yes I read the TM -24 (1st section) PG 3-576 I believe. I found threads discussing turning up the pressure but no instructions on how they did it. The governor in the TM does not look like the governor on...

Well I tend to start my refurbishment threads all the same so here goes for the M923A2. GL listed the truck as a 2001 and it wasn't until after I had already purchased and insured it that I found out they only built them from 1988-1993. While it looks good it turns out they mis-labled it by 10...

There's a 3 day Living History Event coming up in April in San Antonio. While not as fun as a trail riding event it's a good place to show off your toys especially if you have lots of "accessories" to go with your trucks. I haven't attended this particular event before but plan on having my...

Not sure if this is in the FAQ section as I can't seem to pull it up, but was wondering if the 800 and 900 series cabs were generally the same. Meaning specifically if the back of the cab is the same dimensions and would the cab reinforcement panels for the deuce and 800 trucks work on a 900.

Picked up my latest project last night. I'm hoping some of the more knowledgable folks can help me ID it. There are no data plates and not holes in the dash or windshield frame where data plates would have been riveted. The motor has a plate but it puts it as a 1971 and I believe the vehicle...

So we're finally putting the IDF M37 back together after painting. Ran in to a problem with the hood alignment that required a bit of trimming of the cowl end corners and tweakig the back but good enough for what was needed in clearance. Now we've run in to a problem with the door alignment...

I was talking to a guy today about military generators, single phase/3 phase, 120/240, etc, etc when he asked how many amps the 5k put out. Being ignorant of basic electrical principles I just gave him a vacant stare. All I need to know is where to check the fluids, start it, and plug the...

Just pulled in the driveway bringing my M1010 home after some fine work by BARRMAN. New paint and a rebuilt IP and it's like I have a new (to me) vehicle. It's a shame to get rid of it now that it's all perty'd up. A little too pooped for detailed pics tonight but here's 1 until tomorrow.

After finding a couple of clues on our M37 that it may have belonged to the IDF at one point (Israeli phone token hidden in grease and Hebrew on the spare tire) my wife decided she wants to paint it as if it was still in the IDF. There are remnants of the color under the current OD paint but...

Found this while working on the inside of the wife's M37. I'm not familiar with the '50s era radio equipment so wasn't sure if this was military or not. Appears to be bakelite material.

After 3 years of owning it we've finally started working on the wife's M37. Somehow in 3 years time I haven't managed to take any photos of it (that I can find) so no real "before" pictures to give you any idea of how bad it was (is). The truck came from PA via eBay. The lying POS that sold it...

Today TexAndy, Keith_J, and I started rebuilding the wheel cylinders on my M37. It turns out that they needed it in a serious way. There was quite a bit of corrosion in all 4 cylinders and we actually had to pull the shoes away from the cylinders then cycle them to get 2 of the pistons out. On...

Just getting the deuce ready for the Independence Day Parade circuit. Only issue so far is a minor fuel leak at the primary filter. I'm going to let it cool off a little this evening before I try delving in to that. Anybody that would like to participate in events in and around San Antonio is...
