I also posted this under “Strange Part”. I think I’ve got these narrowed down to Gama Goat drive shafts. Fairly certain they’re made by Rockwell. The coupling end of the assembly is physically identical to parts in the M561 -20P and -34P parts manuals. The stumbling block I’m hitting now is part...

Thank you. I’ll check the manuals and see if I can find them.

I was looking for something different and came across a section of drive shaft very similar to this drive shaft. It’s for a M561 Gama Goat. I’ll dig a bit harder in the book and see what I come up with.

I’ve been to the museum 2 or 3 times. I’ve also been to the Smithsonian Air and Space and it’s then support facility, the Garver Facility. I’ve been to Pensacola, which was outstanding, a couple three times as well. The Warner Robbins museum is very well laid out. I got there just once but I’d...

Try Eastern, Boyce and/or Memphis. Their websites are fairly easy to find.

Time for an update:got all the wiring installed. I’m having to go back and de-bug some of the connections. Yesterday I confident that I could attempt a start, so I powered up and hit the start button. It took a few revs to kick over but she ran okay for a truck that been sitting for years. Today...

I wish I were in your position. I have the time but not so much money. Plus, I’m in Wyoming, which really puts a kink in it.

Thank you very much! I’m a passively good at mechanical issues. I’ve never been very good at electrical stuff.

Not much to report. Still trying to figure out the fuel pump wiring. Also got to figure out how to insert a small light in line to the aux pump. No wiring data for that. Got the engine shut off lever installed. What a pain. Still in work getting the throttle lever correctly installed. I think...

I have two M211’s. One is a M and the other is a XM. Neither truck is 100% but between the two of them, I can make one complete truck. Trying to decide which will be the one to rebuild and which to cannibalize is proving to be a difficult decision.

I’ve insured 3 of my M35A2’s with State Farm. Due to their size, I have to have commercial insurance. I also tag them with Pioneer tags.

I’d trade at least 3 of my deuces for one of them M123/125’s!

Finally got to work on the M52A2. The wiring is a real pain to figure out. Fortunately, I found TM 9-8028, which has a fairly complete set of wiring diagrams. Much easier figuring out which wire goes to what component.

I personally haven’t found a cordless that could touch a deuce lug nut. I have an 18 volt drill but it won’t touch the really grumpy nut torques. I use a one inch arbor pneumatic impact tool. It has broken loose almost everything I’ve put it on. I say almost because one time the metal...

My bad, I should have explained a little better. The pigs we have are Guinea pigs. I reread my post and realized I wasn’t clear on the pigs I was talking about. Two of my wife’s male Guinea pig’s got frisky and were beating the daylights out of each other. I thought they were going to kill each...

You gave it your best shot. Good luck on the next project!

I’m on a temporary hold on all my various projects. Got into an argument with a pair of pigs and lost. I hope to get the stitches out early next week. After that, back to bending, beating, cutting and welding.

Thank you! Once it warms up, I’ll get cracking on that job. I’m pretty sure I’ve got the power cable that would go to the mount. I think I’ve also got some 15 amp circuit breakers (GI type). I’m probably the second worst electrician on this site. Just couldn’t figure out how to hook everything...
