    m151 fuel tank

    There are generally two types of tanks, one has the electric pump inside it often called non-emission tank and the later tank without pump(mechanical pump on engine) with extra connections called emission tank, there may be a non electric pump tank without emissions but it's been a long time and...

    Changing out a tire.

    Complete used backing plate and the brake line. The wheel cylinder will need to be replaced, cheap on ebay, shoes may be able to be cleaned up.

    Manual/Power Steering Drag Link Same ?

    It's been several years since I converted to power steering on my M882, my M886 has the same power steering set up but needs a new drag link. The new surplus ones available say manual steering only, I don't recall having to change the manual steering one when I converted the M882 to power...

    Vinyl or canvas covers??

    A M105 trailer cover may work but I don't have one to try, the end curtians on the goat snap in which seems to be unique to the goat, although that really doesn't matter for a replacement cover.

    Stripping the box off of an M1010

    I have done one, I cut the back out of a donor cab, at the time I had no welding equipment and used rivets. The frame has extensions welded on just cut at the weld the holes for the original bumper are there I used a CUCV pickup rear bumper it bolted right on. A couple of years after I did it...

    Vinyl or canvas covers??

    CME_ARMA in FL shows about 100 or so in invantory but good luck getting them to sell you one, they refuse to talk with you on the phone, deny requests for quote, won't reply to PM's here on SS etc. A few of us have tried having them made from the OEM as well but the minimum Qty and price kill...

    M151A1 suspension again

    The military made a under body repair kit to repair all of those areas, they seem to be harder to find now. I drove an A1 for quite some time unmodified and never had any problems, speed and inexperience are what cause accidents.

    Is m1010 worth my time?

    Chances are it runs fine but the electrical system is hacked and the glow system not working. Simple to fix issues and good luck.

    Vinyl or canvas covers??

    If you need rear end covers he has them too for $20, never seen them any cheaper. The rear covers are quite scarce, perhaps someday a stash will be found. Would love to see pictures of your rig.

    Mighty Mite radio?

    There is a mite displaying a radio kit at this club site, www.flmvpa.org I don't know if it's correct but may be a place to start.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    The Goodyear seems to be made of a stiffer rubber compound and doesn't flatten out like the denman's. I'm going to use some 12" 2x6's to open them up over the winter.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Made the 180 mile round trip today to fastenal to pick up 2 NOS gama goat tires. My brother the FB hound found 4 NOS tires for sale in GA at a military museum so I contacted them and purchased the lot of 4. I knew my friend Tom needed tires for his so we split the lot. 3 were Denman, first I...

    Aussie goat needs new shoes

    Tires look great, I suspect the 10 ply DUKW tires were a bit tougher to expand on to the bead, good job.

    I have joined the Goat herd

    Good job on the valve stem, no word here on the tires either I suspect this week.

    Gamma goat brake questions.

    The M715 wheel cylinders are handed, the Goat cylinders work in all 6 positions, they look the same but are not. Best to have your shoes re-lined, I know of no source to purchase ready made shoes, there is a place on ebay with shoe linings and a good deal on 6 new cylinders. I think all of us...
