    WSUCougarx's M561 Gama Goat Acquisition and Build Thread

    I replaced those steel lines, all 4 flex lines and the quick coupling with parts from Royal Brass and Hose. You can see the details in my goat thread.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Not a lot to report here on the goat front. Received a set of head gaskets to replace the rusted ones in the gasket kit. A small price to pay for a military kit though as it includes all the special aluminum block parts. Thanks to Tom for finding the kits at RR. Have got one of the cylinder...

    I rebuilt mine as seen in my thread, Saturn surplus has the internals.

    M561/M792 Gama Goat VIC-1 VRC-12

    Nice, first time I have seen a TA-838 mounted in a vehicle.

    WSUCougarx's M561 Gama Goat Acquisition and Build Thread

    Looks good, that power cable going from the mount to the carrier connector should be interesting to find. Do you have a part number for it?

    Fisher Plow Pump Help

    Thanks for the info. This pump mounts over the power steering pump so I may be missing another bracket. I think I may just fab one unless I find a picture of a factory set up.

    Gama Goat Heater options?

    I know in your gama goat thread you stated you were keeping it all original so the only option for a heater is the fuel fired heater. I plan on using one of these under the passenger side...

    Fisher Plow Pump Help

    My brother took a fisher plow set up off his 880 a few years ago. I am now fitting it to my 880 before the impending Maine snow hits. Having problems trying to figure out how this plow pump bracket fits to the engine. I have power steering as seen in the last picture, this is the same power...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    An organ donor container?, well almost. Big thanks to Mark in Texas(and his faithful assistant keith-j) for sending along the piston/sleeve set from his old engine. This will get my engine back running again, so one engine saving another. This group is really fantastic, the parts exchange and...

    I have joined the Goat herd

    Looks clean, did your friend say what would cause so many valves to bend?

    Looks good, that parts machine sure has produced a lot of goodies.

    WSUCougarx's M561 Gama Goat Acquisition and Build Thread

    There is also a base plate that mounts to the carrier bench, which in turn the radio mounts attach to. Can't seem to find the picture in the file but you can see a picture of it in my thread. Must be a radio install manual available as well. It would be interesting to see if they came up with...

    003A DC Regulator/Rectifier

    I did notice the led on when I had the two leads off to test the amps, as soon as I connected the leads it went out so it seems to be working fine. The problem is that it has 4 large 6v golf cart batteries on it, they have a lot of capacity so it's going to take a while for them to charge.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    More finished parts, again saved and brought back to life, thanks Tom.

    003A DC Regulator/Rectifier

    Sorry for the delay, the unit is charging @ 4.6 amps. The problem was that my Fluke 177 is not working on the frequency and amp settings. I had to borrow another meter, thought it was strange, never thought my Fluke would let me down. So all should be well with the gen set charging, thanks for...

    Willys MB Won't Start

    It's a flathead engine, I don't see how changing the head gasket would change the valve adjustment.

    I would heat the outer shell of the hinge red hot and with a punch get the pin started out then finish pulling it out with a vise grip.

    Willys MB Won't Start

    My MB plug wires are like this, looking at the distributor from the passenger side fender, look where the ignition wire attaches to the side of the distributor, mine is at 1200. Going clockwise from the wire is #3, then #1 then #2 and last #4. With piston number #1 at top dead center the rotor...

    WSUCougarx's M561 Gama Goat Acquisition and Build Thread

    If it was mine I would not re paint it, I think it looks great as is, I love the original paint look.
