Several years ago I won an auction in Kansas for a 1954 Diamond-T M246. The auction video showed it driving and the crane operating, so I figured it would be easily put into service on my farm property. Once it was delivered I towbarred it off the lowboy with my 931 to my shop. It definitely...

Years ago I bought them direct from AMBAC...don’t know if you still can or not.

If PB isn’t working, try a 50/50 mix of acetone & auto trans fluid.

That is beautiful, looking forward to seeing it when it’s done! Your work is excellent!

I recently stripped out the windows & parts to rebuild in my M246. Used all new window channels and gaskets from Big Mike’s. Cleaned up & greased the regulators and door latches, then reinstalled. What a difference! Everything now works like it should and was well worth the cost & effort...

I like the wrap-around dash!

Get a Bonded Title. You can pick up the paperwork from your local DMV office or download online.

Sorry I’m in southern part of the state, I don’t know any mechanics up north. BUT there are several members here who might, @Gunzy comes to mind. Boyce is up near there, as well as Industrial Injection. Can’t think of any others though, my apologies…

IIRC, the original master cylinder vent line was connected to the crankcase vent line in the engine compartment…a MWO or TSB was issued to disconnect the brake vent line from the crankcase vent due to engine vapors fouling the brake fluid and master cylinders. So the majority should just vent...

Awesome work so far! You’re inspiring me with my original M246! Great work, thanks for sharing!

I flushed my PS system several years ago & have used standard power steering fluid from NAPA in it with what seems to be good results….no issues so far. (M931A2)

I have had 2 or 3 of those at one time, it looks to be an original M105 (A0) or M105A1 model. Look at the data plate, the Federal Stock Number is short 2 digits to make it a NSN. The landing wheel is non-adjustable and quite fun to try to retract by yourself…I usually used a Hi-Lift jack on...

Amen to that… I did say that mine was several years ago right?!? It had to be, because I suckered her into helping me bleed the brakes on our newly-acquired M246 just a week or two ago…. :ROFLMAO:

Uh-oh, did I share a photo I shouldn’t have?

Mine did same thing several years ago, it was exhaust gasket. PITA to replace as nearly every stud wanted to break off in spite of torch heating, penetrating fluids, wax, etc…. The telltale signs were black soot coming from failed gasket areas.…as well as having my wife watch for smoke when...

I owe a large debt of gratitude to Wes ( @simp5782 ) and David ( @155mm ) for helping me with purchasing, storing, and transporting my M246 wrecker. Wes found it for me via Purple Wave Auction and gave me invaluable advice that helped me with the winning bid. David helped recover it and stored...

Fixed it for you. Welcome to the club!

Mine is working fine, no issues so far.

Very nice, thank you!
