I have not messed with the engine yet. I am going to try your method though, between work and other non mv related projects I have not dedicated the time to do it yet. And I think I am also afraid it wont free and I will have another big job in front of me. It was running great and drove up...

Good information, I have a new windshield on the way from him, I don't think there is anything he doesn't know about these.

I make trips going out of state often with an empty trailer, perhaps I can get it a few states closer via the ss express.

Today between rain showers the task was separating the carrier from the apple orchard project. I had planned on a day of torching, pounding, cussing, rust, bruises etc. Just the opposite, the two carrier pins tapped right out, the u joint and steering shaft separated and it popped apart...

That is a nice ambulance, a lot of nice always missing goodies in the back, even has the cold weather lined canopy. I've got Tom covered on the shift boot. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

August is blueberry season here, so be sure to have me send some parts then. When I send something I want it to be right, taking the extra time to rebuild the latches for you is part of that. My other set of seats has chain instead of cable so I guess there are two types out there. Enjoy.

Today before work I sat the stripped replacement cowl on the tub, it all lined up well and I placed a few bolts in. Looks much better than the crunched one for sure. I chased out all the captive nuts on the dash with a tap to make re-assembly easier. Drained the front diff. and got 1 1/2...

I am going to go with the pintle so I can tow a trailer, just like they did on Grenada with the c-rat/ammo re-supply mission. If I was in a strictly parade/load people mode I probably would choose the step.

Not much time available today but I did manage to get the pintle off the parts carrier. No space in the back to get a socket in, it would have to be really shallow. I had to cut a small portion out to get the socket in, won't need that on the good carrier as the pintle nut spins free now...

NO hurry Tom, enjoy your trip. I got them from Saturn Surplus, they have them in sets of 4 on the big "E" auction site for not much money. Mark, The steering box is not the problem, it's the long shaft that runs the length of the tractor, I took mine out from the rear, I will have to look if...

Since my steering box is out(was missing)and the carrier is separated I thought I would overhaul the steering shafts. I could move them by hand but it took a lot of effort. I started by removing the very front short shaft, it was not too bad of a job but not any extra clearance for sure. The...

Received a much appreciated care package from Texas today, one big piece of the missing puzzle crossed off the list, thanks Mark. Drained the diff. on the carrier today, had a cup of oily water in it, it looks ok inside though, I don't see any rust on the ring gear or pinion bearing. Also I...

Both have 4 holes, the portion where the light mounts has a steep angle to make up for the cowl angle.

The manual shows 4, the goat mount I believe is different because of the angle of the cowl, where as the M151 is on a flat surface. Mine is mangled but I will confirm it. Probably used the 4 bolt mount so they would not interchange.

Speaking of lights, here are the bulb numbers for the front/rear lights. Front #623 1ea #1251 1ea #1683 1ea Rear Blackout #1251 2ea #1683 1ea Rear Stop/Turn/Service(full red) #1691 1ea #1683 2ea

Working on the folding troop seat latches and lights now. Mark, this is what your latches looked like, you will see when they arrive the big difference. No amount of soaking would have fixed them. I am going to rebuild a set of the nasty rear lights into a set of front lights. Will post an...

If you are headed out here and would pull a few small parts for me please send a pm. Will take care of shipping etc. Thanks.

Mark that looks much better. I too have a tire dilemma, I have like new tread but a lot of sidewall rot, not quite as bad as the one pictured. Most of them are recap tires. I did have all the lifting rings, rear shackles in the mail. I have two styles of those tailgate bumpers as well, one...

Majority of the day was spent working on an ATV tying up the bay the goat is going in. Drained the rear tractor diff., no surprises, magnet clean, just some old stinky gear lube. Pulled all the taillights from the carriers, some good and bad. Extra to my needs today a carrier taillight access...

Consider them yours, will send a pm with my updated "needs''.
