Looks great!

And with mine and TheCaptain's that makes upwards of 9. Should be fun. Bulldogger

DP, No I did not have a socket large enough. 1.5" is the biggest I have on hand. I'd hoped to be able to do more, but even so as you note I did open up each hub and inspect visually and with my ears. Both sounded fine, with grease still present, and I squirted some more Lucas green n tacky in...

Installed 4 new seat belts and retractors. Sourced from theBay, guy selling just the belt with no latch, at a discount from those selling with latches. My latches were fine, so didn't feel the need to replace them. Also installed a little snorkel, to raise the intake mushroom cap a few inches...

In addition: four jerry can mounting trays, two CUCV antenna mounting kits (a couple parts missing, but mostly there), two trailer light modules (incomplete), a CUCV spare tire mount, some shackles, and one antenna spring base. BDGR

Thanks McGuyver, I'll see how one goes tearing it all apart and maybe try just removing the wheel and hub as a unit the second one. BDGR

Thanks hndrsonj, this TM looks to be the one I need https://www.steelsoldiers.com/upload/M37/TM9-2320-212-20_M37_M43_M201_manuals.pdf I feel better having some guidance. Will try to tear into it tomorrow. Bulldogger

And while we’re at it, is it possible to just remove the center cap and inspect and repack the bearing without removing the tire? Thanks Bdgr

Picture

I have a 1962 M101 and need to inspect and repack the wheel bearings. The available TMs here and elsewhere online are for the later models that use the simple bearing cup grease cap, not unlike the modern M116's or what have you. The older model has a 6 bolt cap in the middle of the spindle...

Tore off the old fiberglass repair on my cracked hood and replaced it with a more thorough repair and plenty more fiber mat. Some bondo and ultra flat paint and I think it’ll do. Not perfect but a lot better than before. Bulldogger

I get tired just thinking about that logging on the 2-4th! Bulldogger

I expect to have a few sets of soft half doors at the Graves Mountain Rally Labor Day Weekend. Green only, and only one 4 door set due to material availability. Bulldogger

I will have my M101 loaded with HMMWV front passenger seat backs (2), a fuel transfer rig and hoses (FB4320), a tan HMMWV soft slant back, some rear vehicle/trailer lights, M101 wood sides and gates, M101 hinges (3 of 4 corners worth), a used but serviceable M101 cargo cover/tarp, a couple of...

You are brave or crazy. Either way it will be interesting to follow along at home. I wouldn't want to do that drive in a Lexus, much less a HMMWV. YBBMV (Your Back and Butt May Vary) Bulldogger

Sounds like an interesting setup. I saw some 2 gallon kits on eBay for not much money, but the duty cycle was too low to be useful for anything but filling a tire or two. Could you add some pictures please? Motor-driven onboard air from repurposing an AC compressor is a good manual way, but...

Fixed a bit of trail rash on the right ear door. Stitched it up and used a flexible glue to seal the seams. Zipper works fine, so I managed to keep far enough away from the edge of the zip while restoring the stitching. Lots of small stuff. The same log that reached in the window and boogered...

I flipped the lunette on my M101 so it would fit my HMMWV pintle better. Soldier B was a big help too. Bulldogger

Glad you can make it! See you there. Bulldogger
