    My new to me Gama Goat

    Parts manual does not show any screws, it has a channel in the foam that sits on top of the WS frame. I bet a piece of 1/2" foam pipe insulation shaved to the proper height length wise would work.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    No, it's never been to any show. Had some play time with the project today and tossed on the windshield and top, gives it a new fresh face.

    LME maintenance tent erection

    Looks great, I remember help setting up the old canvas maint. tents. If we were lucky we had a bucket loader to help, if not standing on top of the 5 ton cargo cover was the norm. Of course uncle sam had plenty of privates at his disposal.

    M561 Gama Goats

    When you replace the fuel filters you need to fill the canister with fuel, as much as it will take before you put the can back on. It doesn't have an electric fuel pump, it has a mechanical pump and without fuel in the filter canisters it may never prime. You may also want to check the air...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Installed the new tractor to carrier brake lines, blasted the carrier wiring harness connector with plastic media to clean it up. That finished up what was needed to be able to connect the carrier back to the tractor. Enlisted the help of my son and we attached the carrier, a little tedious...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Flexible lines arrived for the carrier to tractor. Raining today so I broke out the tubing bender and some 1/4 tube and fabricated the hard lines that mount on the carrier flex coupling. Will unbolt the engine mountings today and perhaps will pull the engine power pack this weekend. Glad to...

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    Looks like it chafed and shorted, brown is your running lights. Replaced many of those wiring harnesses. Glad you found the problem.

    M1008 Dash Lights

    If you don't have any luck with it and are willing to pay shipping both ways I would fix it no charge.

    how rare and how much is a 170 worth

    The value in a M170 is if all the ambulance specific parts are still there, if not it's not worth more than any other old jeep.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Well it seems there is a demand for goat thread activity so here is what I have. First a stuck engine, plan is to pull the engine and get the head off to see what's going on, probably a re-sleeve and new pistons at a minimum. I received a few parts recently and finished the final two lights...

    Goat treasure found in Oklahoma

    The only two official storage bags were the tool pouch and document bag attached to the rear of the drivers seat. I suppose they would fit in the tm bag, the goat doesn't seem to have any real hidy holes to stash stuff.

    My new to me Gama Goat

    I recall two reasons for the exhaust pipe move, one to help prevent fumes from entering the carrier and to prevent swimming. I don't see it preventing the goat from swimming as the water line is well below the exhaust manifold. I think the fume issue is the most plausible. Mine has the...

    M38A1 Fuel Lines

    All the fuel lines should be 1/4" steel tubing. I recently restored a M38A1, I used standard brake line tubing. You will want to buy a tubing bender and a double flaring tool if you don't already have one. Or you could cheese out and just buy them pre made from one of the many jeep supply stores.
