    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    Gentry, not having space is really difficult, been there. I passed up a Vietnam era m151a1, in great shape, uncut for $400. I didn't have the space or money! What sort of parts are you needing? I am sure between a few of us we would be able to get you what you need. How are things going for you...

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    Doesn't look like much but she finally got mirrors! My wife had to laugh that I just pulled up to the parts truck, unbolted and bolted onto the m211. She thought I should start a new trend-drive up wrecking yards.shes still a black eyed Susan with that headlight drooping-the truck that is

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    Not sure why, but have a really bad case of OD fever, not sure if this is the cure or not. Would like to find a few more of these trucks and get them back in the road.

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    You know if trucks could talk I'd say this m211 is goading the m35 on "...what's the problem, too cold for you to come out and play....better wait for warmer weather you sissy...."

    xm211 vs winter weather

    Plowboy, beyond a shred of doubt, how else are you suppose to have fun? Ashley--What works depends so much on road conditions. I'm assuming you have a fairly warm and wet snow, if you get stuck, don't heat your tires. Meaning don't sit there and hog on it spinning your tires and heating them...

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    I have to honestly say the more I use the m211 the more I can appreciate it. Here in the states, everyone has the opinion it's diesel or go home. I own a m35 myself. But I have to say in a colder weather climate, gotta love gas. We've spent a fair amount of time below zero this year and by using...

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    Decided I needed to start using this truck, shes no trailer queen so to speak.... Started feeding hay off of it. In Montana(and other places I'm sure), most old time ranchers would shift their truck to low range, put it in granny and jump out, then jump in back while the truck rolled along, and...

    my theory also is that like any New Texhnology that they figured everything had to perfectly matched. As time goes on it's apparent across the manufacturers that having matched bell housing isn't critical.

    Amen! What the heck it sits in a heap for decades, now its the most valuable thing on the place!! What I was trying to say above was that I've heard of other G749ers taking a sledge to the bellhousing and busting it to gain access to all the torus bolts if the engine is stuck. I kept working my...

    I've had others in the g749 world tell them they take a sledge to the bellhousing cause it shatters real easy. This is of course only only on a seize engine. I kept working with mine till I could free it.

    Gentry are you trying to separate engine and tranny? Pull the 6-8 bolts hat hold inspection cover on, spin the engine over and remove the 32 or 33 bolts that hold the torus on and then there are 6-8 bolts on the bellhousing and separate. The torus has oil in it so when you separate a bunch of...
