Hello Gays and greatings from Norway.

I have to say this forum is s gold mine to find info an hints fore crazy collectors of green stuff.

I was out driving my M-624 down hill, and when turning I broke the torque end on the rear axle.

This is a major problem, because i can't get the broken rubber out, any so have experience with this.

I also have seen some insets in nylon some where on the net and now I can't find them any more.

Any so have any idea ore info let me now.

Some pics of my trucks, parked in a old bunker can take more pics fore the display

And it's not me in the jeep it's my oldest soon

Odd, welcome to Steel Soldiers. Weren't you on Greensix with an M621 many years ago? I've not seen the nylon inserts before. Mine came apart on my tractor once. I had to use a highlift jack to jack it back in place then welded a bolt across it to hold it. The 624 is awesome looking. Are there many left?

Hei Kenny

Thanks

No I haven't been there, I had a trip down to Belgium and back , many years ago,
and run out of fuel in the first traffic light cross over, in Kiel on may way back.
Lucky me I stopped and roll down to a petrol pump , so I newer go any way with no fuel on the canes.

I have herad that to get the rubber out, it need a huge amount of pressure, but the rubber is out and the ring is still back in the housing on one torque end.

I try to do some work this week and see.

The M-624 is some left but not many , all on private hands I was lucky to have to , The M621 is there more of

Here in Norway the army now is using MAN inn all sizes

I'm also converting one up with power steering, it's a must when use diff lock on the front axle.

Regards
Odd

you will need a press to get that insert out.

Memphis Equipment sells the new rubber ends.

I'm assuming English is probably a second language for you, and I enjoyed your post very much. However, if I may Sir, I would like to help you with your greeting on this post.

Hello Guys and Greetings from Norway. Guys refers to men in general, a sort of slang word we/I use quite often. Gays refers to homosexuals, a term straight men really don't want to be called. I did laugh when I first read your post, and thought I would help you clear things up. No harm done, and please continue to post. I always enjoy seeing photos of military vehicles from our friends in other countries.

I'll probably get blasted for this post! Just trying to help a Guy out!

I just want a bunker parking my stuff!

when i changed mine i used a 40 ton iron worker electric hydraulic shear press. i was able to press a few out whole and a few blew apart and left the ring in like your broken one. i ended up using one of the ones that came out whole to press the rings out. i took a grinder to one that i used as the press tool to make the diameter slighty smaller so it would push out the other one and not get stuck in the rod arm

I am curious about how the roof of the bunker is still white. I pull my multifuel into my shop, cut it off right away and I have a black fog for about 30 minutes. You must have a good ventilation system in that thing.
