Finished cleaning out the hull today, found a few treasures down there, c rat spoon, horn button cover, stubby screwdriver, misc. hardware and some type of cover with a sight glass. Removed the old engine cover hinge, directional wand and control box and rotten water pump belts. Extra to my...

I tried the cam pulley today and I don't have the correct size socket, the one I have is just a bit too big. I tried moving it and I can see it moving but not really turning. Will need to get the correct socket. I noticed today my throttle cable was missing, went to the clean out parts pile...

Good work Tom, I noticed my pedals were stiff as well, a lot of old hardened grease seems to be the culprit.

Not too much accomplished today, pretty wiped from work. Removed what was left of the LH fenders and cleaned out most of the debris in the tractor tub. Found a hull plug and a few pieces of hardware. Tried turning the engine over with a socket on the engine pulley but I just can't get in...

My carrier has the issue radio mount base attached to the RH seat, the antenna mount is missing, you can see where it was as the paint is od instead of the camo. I would like to find the antenna bracket for the front of the carrier to replace the missing one. Would enjoy seeing pictures of...

OK, and it may be prudent to wait on the fenders as the "new" parts machines you have word of may have better one, save you a lot of bolt removal. However that air duct will be very welcome any time and I greatly appreciate your efforts removing it.

That's what's great about this site , a lot of eyes to inspect things we miss. Otherwise the good news is your seats will ship tomorrow and I will forward the tracking info.

Mark, I looked at my parts pile and I only have the one I need. Of course the original one on the tractor was torn off. I suspect a lot of these got torn off as they got caught on a rock or branch.

Yeah, too many Marks. Great talking with you on the phone Tom, always enjoy talking about past military times. I think you are correct, I tried using a spot weld drill and had some success but at times the spot weld it tough to find. If you want a spot weld drill I can send one.

Is that a home made skid plate below the tank? I have never seen one before. You are actually missing two pieces under the tank from what I can see. Edit, looks like the angle is welded to the main bar, I thought it was bolted so it is one piece.

I purchased a used M151 instrument cluster to source the replacement parts. I knew I would need a cluster so I refurbed this one over the winter. Tom, I actually have two very nice front fender sections, I can always have them tig welded on if these are too bad. I have the horn guard but am...

Today I tried getting the pintle off the parts carrier, that castle nut is stuck pretty well. Tried the hot foot but I was by myself so I could not keep the heat on it and turn the pintle at the same time. Cleaned the debris out of the good carrier and removed the master cylinder and peddle...

I'm going to check the motors today, they came in handy but the reason I pictured them was I snapped off one side of the jaw cutting the cowl, grip of steel!

Had a little time after work today to get some work done on the goat. Managed to get the cowl off, had to cut it in several pieces and carefully remove the wiring. Looks naked but much better. Next I will remove the seats and clean the cab.

Great haul, I found that same brace in my parts pile but it's quite rusty, not sure it can be saved. I shipped your cover today priority mail.

If all you goat owners felt a disturbance in the force yesterday it was my fault. The carrier on the end of the trailer would not roll, the wheels would rotate a few inches then lock up. I unhooked the drive shaft and still locked, the differential was locked and either while under power or...

Thanks, I will give him a shout. PM is empty now.

This will be the official restoration thread of the newly acquired M561 I posted about in an earlier thread. I was going to get it on the way to the Weare, NH rally but I just could not wait. I headed out Thursday at midnight and arrived in NY at 07:30 Friday Morning. Took about 6 hours of...

Mine also shifts"hard" 1-2, as you get use to it you can improve the shift by how much fuel you give it on take off.

Sorry, it should be ok now.
