    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    I took the injectors out and poured Kroil in several times over two weeks. If that did not free it up than there is something wrong that needs attention. Not too hard to pull the power pack, just more work and $$$$ for parts.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Pulled the goat out today on the tow bar to try and rock the engine free, tried for 20 minutes or so. Saw a micro movement of the crankshaft pulley but that was it. If I pulled it too hard it just slipped the clutch, so it appears to be stuck pretty well. So the build just got that much more...

    48V electrical systems?

    The Dodge 880 series has an external voltage regulator and is 12v.

    M38A1 gear box noise help!

    The bearing should slide freely on the input shaft, you can also replace the return spring on the bearing if it has one and see if any oil is leaking out by the input shaft and if so change that seal.

    M38A1 gear box noise help!

    No it can't. You may be able to unbolt the transmission and slide it back enough to replace the bearing but the input shaft has to come back far enough to slide the bearing off.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Thanks, I checked the rear window on my hard top and it is cracked right down the center. Of all the glass on it the one you needed is broken of course. It's just 1/4" safety glass, any auto glass shop can make and install one quite easily. I am not going to use the top so if you need any...

    I have not bought any new tires, I was just stating how much they cost.

    Retrofitting Antennas

    No need to retro, the military made antennas in most if not all the ham bands.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Today after work I installed the rear steering box and pintle hitch. I finished the top bows and am only missing one rod for it to be complete. The decal for the dash panel arrived today so that is finished. I have the tow bar feet I needed to hook the towbar to the goat so my next project is...

    Tire Wear/Electrical

    It has a diesel engine, there are no plugs/wires. They did offer a 100 amp alternator kit, a larger alternator, regulator and wiring harness. I don't know what your disabilities are but they are hard to get into, there are no doors. I would consider new tires driving that distance, they run...

    Bill, we are going to have to send a recon patrol to your place for those pictures. Break out that digital camera and get busy. Find a kid on the street and have him help you.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Yes, it's a 18" wheel. There is a seller on the big "E" that has 2 or 3 NOS original style wheels at a good price. All they are is standard 5 ton 18" steering wheels.

    Gama gama hey!

    Looks great, I have a rear window but I will have to check to make sure it's not broken, I recall one of the pieces on the top were broken.

    My first Deuce.

    I would start with the main light switch, they have an internal circuit breaker that may be bad. Also check the harness connector to make sure you have power to the switch.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Last couple of days I have been working on the steering system. I soaked the carrier steering access cover for a week or so and it would not budge. I knew if I tried to turn it too hard the 3/4 hub would split. So I had no choice but to take all the screws out, I figured I was in for a day of...

    M561 Gama Goats

    They made two different styles of engine covers, the squared style is aluminum and the rounded style is stamped steel. The steel type is reported to be the later issue but I can't confirm that.
