Brent Mullins has the Greek harnesses from Sid Beck when he passed away. Cost me 150 bucks for a complete harness in really good shape. Produced in the late 80s. Worth giving them a call.

McMaster-Carr is worth a shot. They did have the washers in stock last time i checked. Good bet on the hardware as well.

That twisting procedure looked like quite the song and dance to get them both out. Going to attempt to rebuild what was in there or going to find replacement engines for it? Also notice that the little joe is still in place. Shame so much water got to it!

I have read somewhere that both passengers in the truck survived that accident. Stupid move for sure!

Awesome. Exactly what i was in search of. Doesnt appear to be a diagram remotely close to that in the TMs i have, must be missing one. Thanks a whole lot!

How was jockeying around the engines in there to pull them out? Was looking at the TMs when i rebuilt the carbs on one and that process did not look fun...

Guess not...

Got the engine back into the Mep-017a and need to hook up the wiring to the starter. I have all of the TMs and have gone through them but unfortunately it directs to just tag all of the connections before removal. Wires were disconnected when i got a hold of the engine. Ive got one wire that...

Same thing goes on with 16, 16.5, and 17in wheels. Always see the wrong sized tire on them. Also the wrong bead design for the wheels.

I wouldnt see much of a problem making plugs for the original lug holes and welding them closed. Then remachining new lug seats. This would be of course on a mild steel wheel. What is the difference from re centering hmmwv wheels? Still welding on a structural member of the wheel. Of course...

A friend of mine has made wheels for his M37 based power wagon monstrosity using the 1930s ford wheel centers and modern truck 20" wheels. They look great on the truck and go down the road well too. Truck is 440 powered on stock M37 running gear and has not broken an axle in a long while. Yes...

Story seems fishy to say the least. Sort of sounds like the old "you can buy the tank but have to buy all 4 jeeps in the crates in front of it at $50 apiece." Would like to see photos of it in place in the scrapyard.

Not sure on that one. I dont have any experience outside of the 230. Got to be marked somewhere, wasnt actually aware there was a 228 or 236. Doesnt seem to be much info online either, not many seem to mess with the T118s.

Looks like the valves in the fire truck are stuck enough to warrant pulling the head to free them up. Its got a T118 engine in it, any idea if its the same head gasket as a 218 or 230? Got to be dang close since its still an L head. Got a pile of 230 and 218 stuff and it would be nice to use...

Not sure what is going to happen to it right now. Its in to nice a shape to strip down to nothing and restore. I think your right goose, it needs to stay as it is, in as found shape. You can still see the OD under alot of the red paint so its obvious it was a MV. Well see what happens!

it does have the 2a on it. Runs like a champ and starts first pull. Picked it up today and it is now added to the collection. Gonna have to find a shelter for the M37 and start a radio collection! **** this OD disease gets to you 8) Also found an engine for my MEP-017, guy has one that runs...

Mystery solved! Served at Ft. Logan in Colorado. A military fire truck historian has paperwork on the truck and where it served. He was able to identify it from its fire pumps serial number! Wonder what the chances of that are? Always neat to find the history of a vehicle!

Picking up a MEP-025 tomorrow that I traded an old trailer for. I know its 28 volts but what do people do with these machines? What was its original function, Lighting? This one has very low hours on it and was rebuilt in 82 and for the 100 bucks I have in the trailer its not a bad deal...

could just do as the TM states and loosen the fan belt for water crossings. Free and effective!

Happened across this WF-32 military fire truck and was wondering if anyone had any info on it. 1943 Dodge and is definitly data plated as a MV. Corp of Engineers. Cant seem to find any info or photos of another one, Chevy and Ford examples I can find info on...
