Yup - that dang jeep is still there.
Got back on it and tore off the master cylinder and checked John's pricing up to Midwest Militay. Checked out a couple other prices as well. John has been great on part for the 43 so it looks like he has my business.
Brakes had all been done up to this...
I have a partial roll of that aluminized sound insulation left - be good for inside covers of generators - will trade for a ice cold can of BUD.
Its the stuff I got from Australia that I sound proofed Dingers 109 cab with.
No reason to kick yourself - its what is called experience. If nothing ever wrong happened you would not learn much and become experienced.
Next time if it happens you will be grabbing that piece of wood along with your tools no matter what you do as you work on the front of the engine to...
M43B1 picked up by CAMO in awesome fashion.
It moves now to another home where it will eventually be anyhow, so I better get over it. PB has offered a rebuilt engine for the unit - besides the misc items I have not caught to bring it to operating condition.
I truely thank that group and...
Hooper - pretty much agree with everyone here - you did not overpay for it as there are a lot of parts just as a small group would cost you more than that to aquire.
See your from GR - I use to live N of there in Amble and worked at the Freightliner Dealership out on the South End my 56th St...
Looking for an M38A1 air filter top housing - I have the entire bottom section - just need the top for the intake hose - with the clamp if possible.
Looking for an original M38A carb with the 90 degree - I will rebuild if necessary.
Looking for a radiator shroud for the above vehicle as well...
I wish to commend the CAMO group and PB for what is about to take place with the finishing work to this M43B1. I cannot express what they are about to do and how this effects me.
It goes without saying the dedication - and specifically to PB personally to want to make this unit in more of a...
You just have to keep the lawn chair - I have many a miles on a 5 gallon bucket and your looks much more comfortable - was there cup holders in it ?
Great work on the truck and keep us posted - I commend you on the difficulties of access to parts availability and getting done on it what you...
Tigger - oh yeah - got it covered.
Really - fri meal ain;t got very much to do with the other 99.9% of what happens at that rally.
I like getting there early to watch it all come alive;
Mike and volunteers setting up the MKT - that is a lesson in itself.
Carnac and his accumulation of good...
Tigger has an insulated cooler big enough for porkey the pig. It should only take a few bags of ice from there. It will be getting dragged with feet sliding on the ground while it is squeeling away to the grille Thur night anyhow.
Cookin em alive puts more flavor in the meat anyhow. Lay a...
Thanks Mike - we only need to keer the squeeling oinker cold till Thur night before it heads to the inevitable flame. keeping it away from squeemish folks will keep its squeeling down to a minimun till it finally surcomes to the blaze and smoke. The kicking on the grille is what usually makes...
there were no machines on the way I remember doing it - it was all manual labor. Just in case others have never seen one: They sawdust and wood chips packed in as you stack it away.
I hear that is how cold in gets in the back of Mikes cooler
Just from looking on the underside of the 43 - there are tie down brackets there already.
If I were to load and tow this one I would use 2 chains per side - hook to the same bracket - one going to a foward point - one to the rear each side.
That is probably how they tied them down on a ship...
Recovery - you are warned to put your Mouintain Dew down first before reading any further - I will not be blamed for ruing another keyboard:
The makers of Silver Bullet Gun Oil claim it contains 13 per cent USDA liquefied pig fat thus making the product ‘a highly effective counter-Islamic...
I have plenty of rubber - like latex gloves for handling at the grille for slicing and dicing the oinker. It takes a pair of welders gloves to handle while on the grille (got that covered as well).
You know if we use the grease cooked off and totally coat Clinto's mule - it will never rust...
