This is -a- method - probably not the most efficient. The result is OK, but it is one way to approximate the military whip antenna. The radio is a 2m amateur radio inside an AN/PRC-9 that was not salvageable - Completed Project – Modern 2m Amateur Radio inside 1950’s AN/PRC-9 – Stickelman.net...

I dont think they influence alignment, removing the dowels was required to split the knuckle halves. I had to split the knuckle halves to get to the steering pivot bearings. The dowls I am referring to are pictured from TM in the first post. The tie rod is off since I am also replacing tie...

After a winter hibernation, I am getting back to this project. When driving out the knuckle dowls, one was damaged beyond salvage. Vintage Power Wagons state they do not have replacement dowls, and they do not appear to be a stock rod size. I am having a machine shop evaluate one of the pins...

I got a replacement NOS steering wheel, it looks nice but the horn cavity rim is deformed, I assume from being stacked in storage for many years. The old steering wheel I got off, finally, with an air hammer. I destroyed it in the process, but it was really in bad shape and not really...

Its fully functional https://odysee.com/@HamRadioOutdoors:5/Model-28-KSR-Wall-Mount-100wpm-ITTY:a It is a 60ma current loop. It is copying Internet Teletype (ITTY) from https://ttynews.com/ The interface is a deramp PCB from https://deramp.com/model15_interface.html, it can take text from a...

Cost of Dodge M37 rear main oil seal repair (by rebuilding everything) – Stickelman.net When looking at mine, it would have benefited from moving alot of stuff out of the way. If you move all those things out of the way, you might as well go whole hog. It may be possible to get the rear...

Took several weeks to figure out the mechanical issues and finally got it typing in test mode - Model 28 Teletype operating normally (odysee.com) Thank you for the recommendation, that will be my next step, figuring out the electrical part and signaling.

TM shows grease zerk on the top only in every illustration I have found. Moving a plate with zerk on it could be a way to do this from time to time. Splitting this thing is enough of a pain that doing the moving the zerk around would be worth it. By design though, I suppose a maintenance...

This project is taking a bit, but there is value in doing this if its not been touched in decades. I have found plenty of stuff that really needed attention. The felt seals are a fiddly to get stuffed into the groove, but the replacement fits noticeably better than the old one. I soaked the...

Took me a really long time to get a comprehension of what the mechanical things are doing and I finally (with alot of help from the very helpful greenkeys group) found what specifically is wrong with my keyboard. There is a part called a code bar bail, which resets everything by being pulled...

A variety could have been used, AN/PRC 8/9/10 series for the 50s, and 12 series radios for the 60ish to early 2000s. Every example I have seen of radio mounts puts the radios in the bed of the truck, or a shelter - so both arrangements would have been used depending on the application. Radio...

The bumper numbers indicate (probably) 50th Armored Division, New Jersey National Guard (the triangle next to 50 indicates armor) 250th Support or Signal (signal is more likely given the radio mountings) Battalion Charlie Company vehicle 22 50th Armored Division (United States) - Wikipedia...

I recently rewired my M37. If you have 12v, there are minor differences that will be unique from vehicle to vehicle depending on who installed things and what accessories they selected. If I had to do it again, I would have a much easier time of it, but since this was the first time I have...

This seems to be a commercial model, but the military did use this model I think. I did find a gentleman that has paper manuals and other supplies like ribbons and ordered a set of manuals from him - Currently_available_Teletype_SUPPLIES_200602.pdf (w2jc.org) . Mr Cooper, another very helpful...

After finding this device, I watched some youtube videos of teletypes interfacing with computers and (incorrectly) assumed interfaces would be straightforward. As swbradley1 pointed out, it is current driven signaling. Modern serial is voltage driven, there is no place to directly interface...
