    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    Ah, basically you get a bunch of farmers and rancher together and learn how to jerry rig stuff :) That would be totally awesome-if you find something I'd volunteer sometime to help out. I've always really wanted to work around helicopters-always been fascinated with them. I know nothing about...

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    Yes I would say it they had some leaky cylinders on that hub. Thats interesting that its a common fix. I figured some one would just use a cap/plug. whats ABDR stand for? Do you still work on helicopters?

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    Well finally making some progress on the truck. the brakes are totally done-rebuilt every wheel with new wheel cylinders, seals etc. I would stress checking everything over pretty well. This truck was pretty well taken care of but I found a copper rivet in one of the brake lines-blocking flow to...

    First loads M215

    Gotta say thats an awesome job to be proud of. There is a guy on facebook in PA that just scrapped one and may scrap a second. Quite a sad deal. But looks like your on your way to saving one!

    Gmc m211 questions

    Greetings and welcome. Are both axles lockedup? I would start by jacking up one axle enough to get both sets of tires off the ground, then try and rotate by hand. If the wheels move a short distance, then stop, and you can reverse and do the same thing in the other direction its probably more...

    New Shoes This was last fall, Picked up a few tires as mine were getting pretty well used, oh and flat. Decided to have the local sandblaster man get rid of the old crud so well could get some new paint on there. This was last fall before the weather turned

    First loads M215

    ThatIs awesome. Thanks so much for sharing that. I’ve seen 3 to 4 this past year on the Internet that people have junked out. Sad they don’t try and recover them because it is one of the trucks that has a lot of usefulness. Keep us posted on your progress

    US Army SSG Atkins - Bozeman, MT Memorial Day Parade 2019

    As a fellow Montanan, I wanted to take a moment to post about US Army SSG Atkins, who this week was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions in Iraq, June 1, 2007. SSG Atkins was a Bozeman, Montana native who paid the ultimate sacrifice protecting his country and the men he...

    Water Pump

    I’m curious, pretty sure I’ve read this in one of threads, but what kind of luck have people had rebuilding them? I see Memphis offers a kit and a new pump. Mine doesn’t leak but the bearing has some play.

    G749 preservation

    Does your start well in the cold? Do you have a block heater for it? Mine starts very well into colder temps than I'd care to start it not plugged in. I have yet to get a heater put on it. It is amazing how totally worthless NDT are in snow. I think a Nascar would have more traction

    M2211/G749 Parts availability

    My opinion is to go for it! I own a m35 as well, they are great too, don't get me wrong, but I really enjoy these jimmys. If you have a little space, the old trucks are still around. Some people want a fortune for them, and some are fair. I'm working off memory here, but I bought two parts...

    Towing M135 with a 5 ton M54

    Nice, I grew up north of the Mormon church from sunriver, on the east end of the Fairfield bench, by Randy Parker. I flat towed mine with a m35 from laurel to big timber on the back roads. My fear for you would be once you hit the interstate and if you have trouble it could be interesting. If...

    M135 from Salmon, Idaho

    Merry Christmas to you as well Merle! Don't feel bad, been mired in housing projects and work stuff. Hoping to get back on track next year. If you blink, years go by. Maybe one of these days we could make a trip your way and give you a hand. Where are you at with it?
