Left Maryland in ‘96. Got transferred to Iceland then to Montana. I took it in the shorts selling the house. If I hadn’t bought the house with my VA benefit, I’d have lost even more money. That’s beside the point. At this point, the best thing that happened to me and my family was getting our...

It sounds like a great time! Unfortunately, I am not physically able to drive that far. I was a bit too wild in my younger days. Bad knees, back, neck, feet, and more. I appreciate the offer! If they have a shoot in the Cheyenne area, I’ll jump at the chance. Okay, jump won’t happen. But a...

I’d love to go to this event but driving a deuce (M35A2) Gun Truck from Cheyenne to Casper is a bit more that I can handle. Give me a couple weeks to get there and a week to recover, I might make it. That is if I can get a kitchen pass for that length of time. I do not see it happening in my...

Sorry, it’s already found a new home.

Rigging, in simple terms, means adjusting for proper dimensions. Starting in the cockpit with the “sticks” and all along the length of the flight controls, there are adjustable links. In order to make sure that any maintenance on the flight controls is done correctly, you measure each component...

I posted a couple of my tool kits and in keeping with my intent to show off some of the tool kits used on various military vehicles. First was a rigging kit for a CH-53 helicopter, and second was a tool kit for maintaining electrical, radio and anything else for fixing grrr’ed wiring. Today I’m...

Thank you for that info. I don’t normally tinker with the small engines anymore. Good info to know!

I was unaware that ethanol added a coating to everything in the fuel system. Good info for troubleshooting any gasoline type engine. Now that you mention it, I remembered a warning I was given when I got my first multifuel, never leave it in gear. A slight push can start you up and off it’ll go...

This is the link for the Manual for the engine. Hope it helps. https://www.nuvair.com/manuals/Yanmar-LV-100-Use-Manual.pdf#page101

I found this link on the web. There’s several ideas for troubleshooting your problem. My thought on this concerns your chain of events. Engine was starting, running and shutting down normally. You performed routine maintenance on the engine and the best you can get is a very low rpm. Low fuel...

I’m going through this in my head. I’ve been working fuel problems as well a bunch of issues that are normal in a 50 +/- year old truck. They also apply to small engines. Fuel; sounds like you have that covered.Good clean tank and fresh gas, check Replaced filter(s), check Valves; checked (I...

yes, the anti-grav has been a bit sticker that normal. Good thing the barn has a good solid roof!

Oops 😳

Welcome! Hi, I too have a G506. The best thing I did was getting a copy of David Doyle’s book “Chevrolet G506”. It has a large, okay huge, amount of information on these trucks. My truck is a fire truck, which was called a “class 325”. Please take lots of photos! I’ve been reworking mine back to...

I just saw your post and added my reply. Have you heard the engine 101 lecture? I’m getting pretty good at it. I no longer torque off all my listeners. I just torque off most of them 🤪

Change your fuel filter. Also check your fuel tank for debris.

Been a long time since I posted on the M37. Today my son and I swapped out the old tailgate and put a new-ish one in its place. Not much metal bending nor beating was required.

Installing the pin as a safety measure reminds me of our usage in the military. The military really likes extra safety devices. They required us to install a pin whenever hooking up equipment to a pointless hook. Same goes for jack stands. The specific type of jack stand is lost in my memory but...

I’ve mounted my RT 524 in the bed of War Wagon. Unless you’re building a gun truck, it might not work. That being said, I’ve seen radios mounted in the bed of the M35 underneath one side or the others troop seats. Having a soft top in the back would definitely be a good idea. Minimizes chances...

I support the local Harbor Freight. Just bought a random orbit sander from them. I read the post written by the owner of HF, who said he usually goes to the manufacturer of tools that are sold under a trade name, such as Snap On (not a critique on Snap On). They get the exact same tools but...
