Spent quite a while searching the archives and don't find this info.... The plywood base of the drivers seat was completely rotted. I was able to get all the rusty carriage bolts out from around the edge of the plywood. When trying to get the nuts off of the studs that hold the slider tracks...

I am looking at one running White(?) M2A1 half track with winch. It is rough but was running a year ago, drive train is complete. Rear armor is missing, windshield and a bunch of other stuff is "farmerized" . Owner also has a couple of parts M2A1's that have been stripped of a lot of parts...

I am looking for an original fuel pump with primer lever for my '53 M38A1. It can be a rebuild or a core. All I can find are civilian type replacement pumps. Please email me at dkwickre@frontier.com with info, pictures, price, etc. Thanks Doug

This appears to be a WWII? Dodge chassis with center fold hood and flat fenders. The rest of the sheet metal is gone. Drive train is intact (probably frozen up). Check out the pictures.

I am told this is an ex-military forklift. I am considering buying it, but have to travel to look at it. I am wondering about transport weight and other issues. Anyone know anything about these? See the picture

I am considering buying an 18' flatbed trailer that is being built in Bancroft IA. Map shows that to be a little ways south of Minneapolis, MN. I would expect it to be available in the June 25 to July 1 timeframe. (I will know more about this tomorrow). It is an aluminum trailer and weighs...

Does anyone near Spokane have a good trans for my M35A2? I am going to need to go through mine, it is popping out of 4th gear. Call me at nine 0 seven 723-3709, thks

Here are a couple of pics of my modified front axle flanges. I turned out the spline area to an O.D. of 1.95". I shrunk in bronze bushing material and turned it out to an I.D. of 1.64". The major O.D. of the axle spline is 1.625". That gives me about 0.015 clearance for free running in...

Is anyone running a fuel pressure gauge on their multi-fuel? I am trying to figure out what pressure range to use. TM 9-2910-226-34 seems pretty clear at first 3 to 5 psi between the tank and the IP gear pump, then 60 to 80 psi between the IP gear pump and the hyd. head. Then the TM gets real...

I tried my first tank of WMO blend today and engine shut down after three blocks. I filtered the WMO through 1 micron filter and water separator. Good looking batch of lube oil that came out of a CAT engine I manage. I mixed 20 gallons of WMO with 30 gallons of straight diesel. Engine has...

I finally got my UMO filter setup done. Here are the basics: The pump (a 115 volt boiler burner type pump) takes suction from the bottom of a horizontal barrel. It sucks the oil through a 10 micron Racor filter. The pump discharges to a Cot brand 1 micron cartridge filter. The discharge has...

I am finally started putting the Moose back together. I got the rebuilt springs, the stripped and painted frame and the stripped and painted axles going back together. I should have my rebuilt 4.88 differentials next week. They have to come from Seattle, by barge. Then I can bolt the diffs...

Recovery of two M101A2 trailers from Anchorage, AK A couple of months ago, I won two ¾ ton trailers on a GL auction in Anchorage. I was working, so a friend pulled the units from the base to his house. Anchorage is about 750 road miles, plus a 60 mile ferry ride from my home in Juneau. Early...

Just a thank you to Joyce at GL in Ft. Lewis, WA. It was my first visit to a base and a GL warehouse. Joyce was quite helpful in getting me onto the base and helping with finding what I was interested in. Bravo!

A while back SS had a "smiley" of a driver shifting gears. I love it and would like to have it available to use. It is not on the smiley menu any more, though it is still seen on some old posts. Is there a way to save this emoticon, or whatever it is? What format, how, etc. Can anyone help...

I swear, or was it the stork that brought it to be with it's brothers the M38A1 and the M37. Well, she isn't buying it, but she is awful understanding about my MV disease. This M35A2 bobber was done by Alex at Idaho Motor Pool, great truck. It has air assist steering, air seat, air front...

I just bought 2ea. M101A2 trailers from GL Anchorage. When I checked on the EUC paperwork I was told that I did not need an EUC. Talking with Chris at GL Anchorage (he was very helpful, BTW) he said that (starting with this auction) these trailers are now considered Demil "A" not Demil "Q" and...

As part of my complete overhaul and repower of my 53 M37, Moose, I decided to send the springs to Seattle to have them checked out, an extra leaf added to the fronts (the new diesel engine is heavier than the old flattie) and have the eye bushings and pins checked out. The spring packs looked...

Well, you can't take it down much farther! Now I can start rebuilding. Took this picture at my buddies where the frame is waiting for sandblasting. Then a couple of coats of POR15. I have received the parts for my disc brake setup, my power steering conversion, for resealing the axles...

My passenger door has a long (8") crack that is starting to star out. I seem to remember you used to be able to get replacement door skins, but Vintage Power Wagon has none and I have not found anywhere else. The only repair I can think of involves drill stopping the cracks, using a backing...
