Did you ever check to see what "yellow metal" is in these transfer cases?

Cold weather got here early this year and I came nowhere close to achieving my goal, but got some more done. I found this old paint on one of the window frames and thought my new paint matches the color really well. These were in an old GMC truck catalog from the 50's and I found it...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! I agree with everyone else. Start her up and see what you've got. I prefer the M135 with gas engine over the M35 mulitfuel. I'm not sure if the Canadian Military used ORD 7 SNL G749, but my copy states that when the M135 wheel supply was exhausted, to use the M211 or...

Yes please do post pictures when you can! I'm interested in seeing what distributor you used as well as everything else you've done to the truck.

When you do, be sure to drop by and say hello.

I'm not trying to get too far off topic here, but since you have your transfer case open, I have a question for you. Are there any brass, bronze or other parts considered "yellow metal" in these transfer cases? There are years old arguments here about if GL-5 gear oil will ruin the "yellow...

Welcome to the forum! Here is a video on Youtube showing the air compressor governor. Maybe you can compare it to what yours is doing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMz1Bj3uaAk You might try this out of Bob Kettler's Tech Tips for your generator. Here is where you can download some of...

Here is a rebuild kit. https://www.carburetor-parts.com/Holley-885-FFG-Carburetor-Kit--Diamond-T-GMC-IHC-REO-White_p_677.html You'll need a diaphragm also. https://www.carburetor-parts.com/Holley-AA-1-852-885-1901-2100-2140-4000-Governor-Diaphragm_p_1456.html

It has been a busy year and I just realized it has almost been that long since I posted any progress. Progress has been slow, but I am back at it again. Finally got the inside of the cab sanded and primed along with a lot of other parts and hope to paint inside the cab next weekend. The...

Is that 120 feet for the whole truck or one specific harness?

I think I have seen this truck before. Pictures start on post #38. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?142703-Please-talk-him-out-of-this

Just a quick update to let everyone know I have not forgot about or abandoned this list. I got a new computer in December that did not come with MS Office. MS Office 2019 is supposed to be released soon and that is the hold up. I'm thinking about adding exploded views of each component of the...

The red paint was definitely put on over that coating. I don't believe these trucks were ever in use by the Marine Corps.

I do not know if this was standard practice, but one of my four M135s (truck #5314) possibly had this all over the frame, axles and wheel wells. It was all sandblasted off last year because I didn't like the way it looked.

What a neat find!! Thank you for letting us join in on the excitement of opening up those crates. I've got a question about Gander's instrument cluster. Is the panel new or did you guys paint the Low Range/High Range, Oil, Air and High Beam markings on it? If you guys painted those on, would...

Brad, check out the starters jeffhuey1n has in the Parts for Sale section. Very reasonably priced.

Very good point. I had not thought about this.

Brad, I think you want the T4.

If your machine shop comes through for you, could you still post up part blueprints for us?

rustystud, can you get measurements/make drawings of the bushings, washers, seals, etc.? Maybe we could see what it would cost to have some made. Depending on material and complexity of some of it, I may be able to make some on CNC equipment as time allows.
