Thanks, good list. Keep you posted

Gene Imes, (my dad) sent his M715 down from Wisconsin for me to take care of . He has been using it as a farm truck, feeding animals etc. He recently painted it and decommissioned it, added bows and seats etc. Questions for the group. what should I absolutely do before I run it much...

great project, great to see how you addressed the frame challenges.

Sorry for the long delay, it took Thanksgiving to open a few days to work on things. youll notice I have my Christmas Decorations up, in an MV sort of way. OK- Vacuum is 16-18, looks good. I have noticed something that I didn't really see before- seems to run a little smoother at after...

Update, The float is brass I checked the oil level, there is no indication of significant gas contamination. I can't really judge it by level, so if you cold tell by texture, they I can't tell for sure. The level was not high. I checked the carb cover for flatness. I dragged it across a...

next installment Things checked- No vacuum leak Choke ok I drained the gas and replaced with new unleaded pure gas 89 octane played with idle mixture and idle speed to make sure settings were normal Drove it at speed for 10 miles to clear it out Still idles poorly. I'll check the oil, as...

http://youtu.be/Q8_8PfvTLjw Pulled the carb for the last time, checked the idle circuits and swapped a few parts, cleaned passages. As you listen, filter out the sound of the fan, and machinery, the constant sounds and listen for the power stroke ignitions. an occasional PA, PA , then...

OK guys, Round 2 Here is an update- checked ignition, 24v to coil, ok, points set ok, timing ok, good healthy spark checked bowl valve- appeared to be leaking slightly, resulting in bowl too full, thought I found it, replaced it, checked it. no change Replaced the low speed (idle)...

This one has me stumped for the moment. Engine runs rough at idle, chugging, very un-even. Smoke out the exhaust that smells like unburned gas. It was running fine, has been for years. I made a 10 mile back and forth run to the gas station, by the time I got back, I had the above...

Has anyone ever tried to hand crank a flat 6 to life using the hand crank thru the hole in the front bumper?

I had steering a little stiff on my WC 21 . Greased all of the joints up front. Got better. Brakes- if no leaks and you have bled the lines, then its the master cylinder You can take apart the speedo. could be something obvious. have to gently unroll crip to get it apart

Anybody in need of an intake/exhaust manifold for your scout car or M8. I have come upon one. Let me know, Dougimes@yahoo.com

Looks great. Finished up your painting just in time. I remember WI.

I had this before picture along with Gene himself. Your work looks great! - good enough that maybe he will try and keep the buffalo from banging it up. I am anxious to see it. Poofstock I get it. a play on woodstock? Hope you guys have a blast

This is one of 2 nice 715's this year. didnt catch the owners name. New canvas and nice paint and markings.

Finally added canvas to my WC-21. Made from number 10 o.d. canvas tarp on my Wife's sewing machine. I got the lift snaps from OD Cloth.

I travel around a bit for work, and can smell an MV from miles away. Always looking

http://s1304.photobucket.com/user/dougimes/library/?evt=email_share I went back and shot a bunch of photos, talked to the guy a bit. The story is that the truck was used by the yard to move stuff that didn't want to be moved. Working driver. I asked him if he would drive it a hundred miles...

Found this m37 at a salvage yard in Chippewa Falls WI. Driveable and intact. Interesting to see on in original paint. Anyone interested I can put you in touch
