Hi, Is it legal for an individual to title & license a collector military vehicle (more than 20 years old) in Minnesota? The Wisconsin DOT is stating that only a nonprofit organization can title/license such a vehicle in Minnesota. How 'bout it you guys in Minnesota, do you own any old...

Hi Again, OK, here's the latest: As of tonight, a second Wis. Pinzgauer owner is again being refused registration until he can provide a picture of the vehicle's NHTSA label. Of course, DOT knows perfectly well that Pinzgauers don't have such a label. DOT did not provide the statute upon...

Hi, Heli's aren't my thing, but I just noticed this locally. Maybe it can help one of you. http://madison.craigslist.org/for/1211791538.html I'm local if I can be of any assistance. Paul Underwood 608 437-3465

Hi, I am looking for M416 parts. Specifically, I need everything inside the brake drums. I've got the handle, cables (rusted) and the levers which attach the cables to the drums. But that's it. The rest is simply missing. So, if you've got that box of parts just laying around, let me know...

THE DATE AND LOCATION ARE SET We've made the decision that the treffen will be held May 28-31 at McCaslin Mountain, a stie about 70 mi. north of Green Bay, WI, on the southern border of the Nicolet National Forest. It isn't the Rocky Mountains, but we should have fun. Here are a few pictures...

Citizen, Your wife will love a Pinz. My wife even likes driving ours on medium rough trails. I've had a 712 (6x6) for over 7 years with very few breakdowns, especially given the workout I've given it. They were designed to be fixed by 19 year old draftees: most repairs can be done on the...

Face it, 712's rock.

Mine always vibrates too, unless she's loaded. I'm not big on driving it in the cold though. Two years ago, I had to take a load into Madison, WI, on a cold January day. Mid-trip, the temp. dropped even further and started a freezing sleet. It was a real white knuckle ride. But the worst...

Nobdy would be complaining if it had been a Yugo!:-D Seriously, after having just fought the Wisconsin DOT (for a year) after they took away our titles/plates for our Pinzgauers because they were unsafe (!!!), I have to agree that furthering the public's impression that ex-military vehicles are...

I FOUND ONE! :-D:-D It added extra expense to the project. :cry: FYI: I purchased one from Steve at A&P Truck Salvage out of Oklahoma City. He's a pretty interesting fellow, and if/when I get out that way I'd sure like to stop in and look around. (405)262-6353

Hi Neil, Thanks for the input. Yeah, I've seen that done on main bearing caps on an engine before. I haven't mic'd it, but it seems like .020-.030. It's huge. I though about cutting the hole big enough and finding a different race to fit. I don't even know if that's possible, though. I also...

I have found that one hub on my M-416 trailer has been damaged by a bad bearing/race. The new race just rattles around in the hub. Has anybody got an idea where I might find a replacement? From what I can tell, my trailer is an early M-416, and has a hub which is separate from the brake drum...

When I was a kid, we visited some folks out in San Diego. While there, I saw a plane fuselage some guy had mounted onto a bus chassis, and was able to drive around on the streets. I know it'd amount to blasphemy to chop up that helicopter, but it'd sure get some looks driving down the...

Neil, Sorry for the delay in replying. I've been busy on the trailer, and also finishing up this fight here with the WisDOT over allowing Pinzgauers to title/register. I'm technically challenged. The last picture I took was on film. I'll see if I can't get my 12 year old to help. I've...

Hi Neil, I've got a '76 Steyr Puch Pinzgauer, which we take camping. But as our boy grows, and with 2 dogs, and now we've got a kayak and canoe to take..... That's where the new trailer will come in. I expect I'll use it around the farm too, but I've got a regular pickup for general work and...

Hi Guys, and thanks for prompt replies. I have a little progress to report. Neil, you are correct that there are both right-hand and left-hand threads. You are pointing to the lower left bushing, and that is left-handed. However, the upper left and both upper and lower right (both on the...

I'm working on a 416 which I recently aquired. I have a few questions: How do the springs come off? The manual I found shows removable bushings and I assume the zerks come off, but none of those seem to unbolt. How are they removed? I've got a bad inner bearing race on one side. I found...

A quick update: Since my court victory, most Wisconsin Pinzgauers have been registered. However, there are 2 new purchasers of Pinzgauers here in Wisconsin who have not been able to title/register their trucks. WisDOT is requiring an Entry Summary, the Bill of Lading, a Letter of Release from...
