    HT (HalfTrack) Transfer Case

    I looked this morning, absolutely no labels on the track. 11 of 1981 is molded into them, but no other markings anywhere. Craig says he believes they are Hodgkiss tracks

    HT (HalfTrack) Transfer Case

    I'll look at the track tomorrow, heard that before? I installed a new set of tracks on another HT a few years ago, they were new Israeli made, don't know the Mfgr. Yes, this is a French return, '43 M16 with a quad 50 in it...still powers up too. It has a stuck valve I need to fix. It is on a...

    Canadian 15CWT

    For all you Canadian vehicle guys, Had a chance to work on and drive a 12 May, 1942 made 15CWT truck. It had been in the back 40 for years. Drug it to the shop, checked fluids, surprisingly, the brakes WORKED and the fluid was clean and clear as well as a great pedal! Put a battery in it...

    Water Pump

    Thanks for that link, I did all 29 pages this morning! Great job on your "fire truck" I thought I had time on my hands. That thing is pretty cool. There are a few GMC's at the Museum, makes me want to suggest that we get some running [thumbzup]

    M106 Mortar Carrier

    Update 2. Serviced the filters, a little gunk in the bottom of the suction, pleats a bit wavy, indicating water, pressure side was clean, very little debris in the can, mostly this waxy crap. Got it primed, took a bit, but fired it off, let it run and took it for a test drive. Pulled out of the...

    M106 Mortar Carrier

    Time to dig upan old thread. FINALLY, after 9 years, didn't think it was that long, but I looked at the paperwork on this thing, and sure enough, I am 9 years older! The issue we had was the fan drive pulley and shaft. Well, I took it to a friend, it sat there for a while, got it back and gave...

    M3 Scout Car

    I hadn't made seals and gaskets for a good long time, it felt good. The best part was when it was fired, got to temp and had zero leaks :clinto: A link to my Youtube of it running, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSgiRblVt20 Last pic,

    M3 Scout Car

    Pulled the old pump off. Found a freeze plug starting to leak, so pulled that. The block was full of rusty sludge. Normally all the stuff that runs has water and perry installed, no antifreeze, so if it leaks, it isn't a toxic mess. The perry stops the rust from happening, but, since the pump...

    M3 Scout Car

    Some updates. Went through a manual the Museum has, a hand written, hand illustrated, British, complete overhaul manual for the M3 Scout car. It is truly a piece of art. So easy to understand and visualize how things are put together. Found what size rope seal to use for the packing. Got it from...

    M1009 lacks power

    After reading this fiasco, I was going to ask the OP if he had installed a floor mat. A thick floor mat can make it so the pedal won't get to full throttle....but it seems he found some issues. Good job!
