Excellent resource thank you. I trust Timken products better than most others including factory originals.

Thank you! I’ll look into this.

Rear axle work continues. Got it completely disconnected from the springs. Pulled off all 4 wheels so I wouldn’t mess up the tail pipe. Started scraping and brushing off years of dirt, grease, oily dirt, greasy dirt, and a couple layers of thick red paint. Fortunately, the paint is flaking off...

Got the rear axle off today. Took a bit of hammer work to knock the u-bolts loose. I’ll roll it out the next semi-warm day and sand blast it. After that, replace the input seal and look at the wheel bearings. The brakes were gone through by a local shop for the previous owner. Hope I don’t find...

All the plates are now gone. The last four took about 5 minutes each to remove. Those welds were pathetically poorly made. Most of the welds after removal of the plates could be easily removed using a hammer and chisel. Anyway, I ground down all the welds then cleaned that up with a flap disc...

You still thinking of doing Brutus M37?

I’ve got to be more diligent in my posts. I spent the last year+ cleaning things up in the shop. Got a long ways towards being able to find stuff again. Also, after looking at the G506 for that time, I’ve decided to abandon the fire truck plan. I just don’t have enough to put one together. The...

Have you checked the function of the brake light switch on the air pack/master cylinder?

Doing fine in Laramie County WY. If only these winds would knock it off… getting ready for the Christmas parade and several Toys For Tots events. How goes it there?

In today’s world, saying things in short chopped sentences gets you tookus in kink.

The individual in the story was a retired soldier who spent his career in scouts. He was addressing a group of “trainees” that couldn’t tell their back end from a hole in the ground. IMHO, he was commenting on their lack of masculine characteristics.

I am in like Flint!

John Ringo “Black Tide Rising” series. Outstanding author!

That just plain sucks donkey water through a sewer hose 🤬! Up here in Wyoming, I haven’t had any problems with titling my 10 military vehicles, the oldest of which is a 1944 G506. I’m a firm believer in Karma. These poofters are going to get a big Karma bite!

I remember seeing the pilot with a black skid mark on the top of his helmet. They were just RTB when I got to the duty section. That’s just too close. But then again, a miss is as good as a mile! Not sure what happened to the remains. Cooter brought back one of the tail rotor blades. It was a...

The Marine Corps upgraded a few A models. They put D model engines on it, the D model main gear box and some other upgrades. That was way back in the late ‘70’s, early ‘80’s. The active squadrons at Tustin used them, and they were hot rods. On the other hand, some D models got elastomeric main...

I’ll keep my eyes open for a suitable candidate…

You could check out my build thread. Look for jeffhuey1n under the gun truck section. My best advice is to buy several books on the subject, especially the James Lyles book. David Doyle has a couple excellent books on the gun trucks as well. Other things to look into:gun mounts, regardless of...

What will you do with the cab I've got? Just wondering.
