I wish I knew more info on it. I do want a CCKW at some point, but I would like to have something a lot more complete than this one. A fully restored one instead of a project would be a nice change up.
Sorry it took a while to get back to you. I have been down with the flu. Anyway... the answer is yes to the spring.
The wheel I took a picture of that had the most grease on it had inner seal number 32527. This is a replacement for 6584S which is what was original for the truck.
Here is a...
Thank you. I think it is possible to put them in backwards, but so far they have all been in the right way.
We should come up with something that seals up this whole area after the locking tabs and lock nut are in place. Maybe held in place by the flange? Surely there is a better way to keep...
It is possible that it happened at some point in its life. I changed all the fluid right after I got it and put in the amount the book calls for. I don't see any in the tubes but can see where some has been...I think.
It is diff fluid with some dot 3 mixed in there too. Mostly diff fluid and...
I took the rear axle apart today. All of the brakes on this truck have been coated in oil and grease when I pull them apart. Is this only because the cork seals were not in place? Differentials overfull at some point? Any ideas?
The front brakes were the same way too when I redid them. I want...
I needed someone to blame if it doesn't work.
In all seriousness, I really did like the idea. Hopefully all this will work for another 60 years and then I won't ever have to worry about it again.
I imagine the days of printed parts is not too far off.
Here is a teaser of what I am working on for the G749's. Getting enough free time on the machine to make several is the hard part right now. If I can't get many made, at least I will have the programs to do so later on.
The work continues on the middle axle brakes. All the parts are in, things are cleaned up, primed, greased and ready to go back together.
Do any of you use anything in addition to the cork seal that goes in the slot? Use anything different? I have the cork seals but didn't know if I should...
Thank you guys. If I wanted to trade it toward M135 parts since I don't have a Gama Goat, what would be a fair value?
I really don't need it, but don't want to trash it since someone may need it sometime.
Does anyone know if this is a seat for a Gama Goat? It was sitting on the back of an M818 my brother bought. I have never seen a Gama Goat in person and was trying to look at pictures of them online to figure it out, but I just can't tell. It does appear to be a military seat of some sort. Any...
