Got a call yesterday asking if I would be interested in a tank? The guy heard I restored military vehicles and his neighbor wanted a stock trailer he owned and wanted to trade him a army tank for it! He has seen the tank before but knew nothing about it, other than it has tracks. He was...

Is this going to be an internet or on site auction??? James G.

Oil Cooler Anyone know the part number for the civi oil cooler on the 818? The surplus guys told me to just pickup one locally? I want to but they want engine number/serial numbers to match the cooler? I want to go pickup the truck Sat., time is short! James G. PS: No response yet from GL

MEK then a razor blade for the residue on the window, quick easy and smooth when you are done. Lowe's has it. James G

Anyone else win a Deuce in Little Rock yesterday? I got the one with the box in the back. A little more than I wanted to pay but only 80 miles from home. James G

I sent in the complaint anyway......Now! James

Ifind your lack of faith distrubing! O Yee of Little Faith, I am sure the folks at GL will be understanding of my plight. I made the inspection, the actual day the auction ended, made my bid on what I saw; the truck was not drivable since none of the 40 trucks up for sale had batteries! The...

Oil By the time I got to the gate there was no oil showing on the stick, the residue on the stick looked fine, just black like the oil on the ground. While the truck was idling in the yard there was no leakage, only when I drove it( or it may have been filling up the overflow tank)? The...

Went to Hooks to make my second recovery attempt on the 818, used all the good info given over the last attempt, while following the fuel line I found a fuel shutoff just before the primary fuel filter housing, opened it and checked the fuel shutoff on the IP and she started right up, rough but...

They are in the same state but a couple of hundred miles apart. Pulling the drive shafts are no problem so getting it on the car hauler is the easy part, but I have no experience with 1/4 tons and stuck clutch plates. They appear a little more delicate than my 5 ton! James

Recovery I went to pick up the Willys, will not move! Looks like the clutch is stuck to the flywheel. Whats the easiest/least damaging way to pop the clutch loose? James G.

Fyi

He has the LR and three M37 and just won't sell....Yet. James

German Vice That or you could sell it to one of these guys in need, but shipping would be a killer! James G.

Welcome Telwyn: Great looking truck and welcome to the site, I don't know much about LR but I have been trying to buy this one from a local restaurant. that's using it as yard art; for a couple of years it is a good deal older than yours but I have always liked the look! James G.

FleaMarkets/Junk Shops If you have loocal junk shop have a look there, over the holidays I was in Tunica,MS and found a propeller shaft for the winch on my 5Ton, it was in a pile of stuff by the front door. And guess what I paid for it $10, OD green and he thought it was off a John Deere, if...

While out Junk Yard roaming I found a good size Vice for my wrecker, I own one now but it is in Tulsa and out of reach so for scrap value ($10) and a little Silikroil and some tapping I now have a pretty presentable working Vice for the M543A2! James G.

I Will check Tim: Next time I am through I will check on the other truck, he is pretty proud of his stuff, I am still dickering with him on the 211, I am not holding out much hope on a price break, he has had them for a while and is not too inclined to sell. James

Talked To Him Had a close up look at the Deuce Tractor, "he says" it has a good motor and transmission in it and it was running great six years ago when he backed it in where it is! It has single on the back, vertical pipe is toast and the pintal is missing. He has it sold in the spring to...

While I was looking at a M543 in a local junk yard I noticed a M35 Tractor there, it is the first one I have ever seen. It looks like like a really short wheel base' James G.
