Drug the m246 home from a friend's place after fixing it up enough that it'd move around on its own. It's not roadworthy yet so we flat towed it... the multi was slow but she got it done!

Id be very much interested in this... I just blew a hoist hose on my M246 with the A-W crane... I was hoping I could just get normal lines made for it...

Hey fellas! Long time no see! Got myself some OD iron again. Netted myself an ex-fire M54A2 closer to the beginning of the year and did some stuff to it. Threw some G177s under it and had to put a new hydraulic head on the pump after it spit the key. Threw a couple 2 hole injectors from an LDT...

I fired the poor girl up in the 5 degree weather, walled off the rad and mixed in enough extra coolant so I could accurately test the mixture for the brutally cold weather thats coming in. It was, ah, significantly less then impress... but it fired up and got as warm as it could for the temp its...

Follow up: I crawled under the truck and jumped the brake light switch (I know it works as I've already verified that) so I would need 2 people. I then unplugged the turn signal switch and checked for 24 volts at pin D which is the signal from the switch and had a good reading. I then jumped...

This has a fluid switch on it which I've confirmed works.

Yup, all the lights were on, service lights on with panel on full blast.

Picked up a 69 m35 this last week non running. Got it fired up, bled the brakes, all the fluids have been changed and now im onto lights. So far the issue I'm have is no service brake lights. I've got service running likes, blinkers (they stay on solid cause the flasher is shot but they do come...

Sounds like the fuel cutoff. Follow the shutoff cable down to the IP and you should see a box with two flathead screws. Pull that off and there will be a small arm with some linkage hooked to it. Depending on if someone has made it into the pump before there will be safety wired screws holding a...

Here are some updates on the 506. Been a trusty weekend warrior!

Alright, finally time for an update. I ended up having to pull the transmission, clutch and flywheel to get the truck running. The ring gear of the flywheel was broke in half so after replacing that... i burned up the starter. Figures... i bought a starter and threw that in and had the engine...

Well, seems I have a new found problem... compulsively buying MVs... i picked this g506 up when I was supposed to pick up a parts cckw for mine and an m211 302. However, after looking at the 506 and mulling it over in my head... i elected to use the cckw more for parts then anything. The 506...

A little more of an update. I got the transmission out and as it would turn out... its heavy. The engine is still stuck, so my theory about the transmission being the thing hanging the engine up was wrong.

I'll have to do some questioning at the shop. Ill see what I can do though. I'm guessing the H110s are the split axles?

Are parts easy to come by for those axles? Maybe I'm better off just going with the other chassis or something?
