Exciting news, I bet the "other" Mark knows what it is. Sorry I missed your call, was outside installing a new fuel pump in the M1010, about as much fun as working on the Goat.

Since it's not cut all the way through and the curves/angles look right I would say it might have been a sloppy "crack" repair.

No, originally there would have been two identical 24 volt alternators mounted. This is the thread on how I did mine. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?101135-M1010-DUVAC-Removal-Plan-quot-B-quot

Received a parts shipment from AR today, arrived quickly. The air duct is not a separate part from the hull so getting this was special indeed. I was very surprised to see the top bow support rods, these are hard to find. As with the air duct my transmission shift lever was bent from the de...

The original bracket is a one piece unit. You can buy a 12v alternator that fits in the original bracket but I don't know if they have done that on yours. Post up a picture of yours.

Check with Saturn Surplus they have quite a few M880 parts on their site. The weak spot on these is the electrical, I had to chase down a few electrical issues with mine.

I may be able to drive it up there or load on a trailer, depends on time frame.

That is exciting news, I hope both of us will have running engine videos soon!

Spark plug would tell me it's running rich.

Just found this post, I remember being stuffed in these in 1985 and 1986 at FT Leonard Wood MO during basic training and AIT. I also recall the DI having plenty of space at the door while the rest of us sweating our buts off stuffed in like sardines.

My plan as well, I am going to strap the shoes and bleed them with the drums off so I can check for leaks.

More work accomplished on the brakes today. Now have the two carrier brake assemblies installed. The RH side had a loose wheel bearing so I took it apart and serviced the bearings, seals looked fine. Took apart and cleaned the remaining 4 backing plates, and installed new wheel cylinders...

Have a safe trip Mark and please post up some pictures of the trip, get that new owner signed up here as well.

Yup, have had pretty good luck doing that with a few goat parts, looks good.

Well it was worth a look anyway. I try myself to save as much as I can of any part as some are hard to find.

Yup, the gift that just keeps on giving. When you crack the drum seal you never know what you are going to get, stale air, water, brake fluid, grease or asbestos dust.

Looks like a US M116 Pack Howitzer.

Pulled the remaining drums, found one more set of clean shoes, good news. The bad, right carrier had a pint of dot 5 in it, RH rear tractor had self destructed shoe, the missing pad section was turned into powder and it scored the drum pretty well. Plenty of extra drums so not a problem. The...

Not wanting to pay $95+ for a new engine stop cable I found a 9' generic heavy duty cable at NAPA. I had the handle from my broken cable so I drilled/tapped two 8/32 set screw holes in the side of the old handle, removed the new handle by cutting it off with a cutoff wheel. Slid the old handle...

Way too far for me!
