The B 58 Hustler was the second plastic model I assembled as a kid, the first was the X-15. As for the GE J-79, if you were out break the sound barrier in the early days, you installed a J-79 in the airframe. Heck, two J-79s propelled the F-4 Phantom (lead sled) past Mach 2. In the early 60's...

Welcome from across the river. Congrats on your "yard find". Put fresh batteries and fuel in it and I bet it starts. (first find the fuel leak)

Welcome from the Commenwealth of Kentucky, I was in Italy last October, man, do I miss the food....post up a picture of your new MV. JC

2408 original miles??? Must have only been driven on weekend drill Sundays. It does look clean, way to go. Been watching for one like that. Hope it all pans out.

Just got in from farm chores, way to assist Steve. Sounds like the tank had a lot of crude. Filters will be a must. Is he going now? JC

Subscribed for further development ideas.

yep, 1/4"-20. Try the screw again, this time w/ a littler oil. The hole threads are full of rust and will not let the screw thread in by hand. Use a small ratchet, in/out a bit. That will clean them up.

A lot of nice vehicles, voted for Wes's work'in man's truck. Roll Coal!

The NHC 250 installed in the M813 (M809) are equipped with a 12v. intake glow plug to assist in cold weather starts. You cannot utilize ether if the cold start system is used. You will have a fire. The NHC 250 installed in the M939 series trucks are equipped with an ether cold start assist...

Yep, go with configuration that is described in the -34 TM.

A very thin laver of RTV. Stays put and easy to remove, if needed.

Looks like a normal axle seep/sweat. Leaks leave fluid on the concrete. Concrete is way to clean. Truck may need to be driven to get the seals wet. There are a lot of axles in my fleet, your axle is a lot cleaner than mine.

Just stick the 1/2 " drive bar stock into the plug and give it a guick weld on all sides. Let cool a bit and wrench it out.

Zero-Start make a nice heater for the 855 block. Very easy install, yes, coolant will need to be drained. Strain it and put it back in.

No internal combustion engine will tolerate a 3 min drive very long. Moisture build up and batteries not fully recovering the start cycle are just a few of the issues that will lead to maintenance issues. Add that this short drive will be in real cold weather and more issues will surface.

Good for you Kawhill, The Cat 3116 is a very good/reliable powerplant. Don't mind the haters. That engine has powered thousands of marine and off road equipment applications, still does. Keep it tuned/sync'ed, serviced, and dont abuse it and it will last forever. Install a good block heater...

SS member "Reckless" has a good connection, moved a truck for me, on time, on budget.

Welcome and congrats on your first power purchase. That one trailer will power the house and then some.

Had my M813A1 out yesterday, hauled a bunch of Vets in the Jeffersontown, KY Gas Light Parade. Real fun truck to drive, brought back a lot of memories for some of the guys (pictures are no loading for some reason). They are big, loud, heavy, thirsty trucks. Take into account all the input so...
