Got a set of hoses for the front and rear axles of the goat in from popacom yesterday. The MC should be here today or tomorrow. Popacom informed me that there's a civy brake hose unit for the middle axles. (And honestly I'm not sure if the goat still has those or not on it) But I know the...

If I have wheel cyl issues, I'll order them on my own. We're a vendor for MV parts now. I just got the parts from popacom since they were NOS and a great deal.

Just an update, the radiator shop called be back with a quote of WAY too much to repair the radiator. Luckily popacom is going to square me away on that. I went ahead and ordered 6 take off tires as well for it. Not much else going on at the moment.

I cheated, I just drilled and tapped a 1/8npt port next to it. I'll buzz the "plug" to seal it off. Now for the radiator. It's in sad shape. A few bullet holes in the top and some flues that are cut.

Oh and I know about SCA, I've bought it for my dodge as well. On a side note, the front and middle diffs are filled back up. :beer:

Item 2 is fine, it's the item 17 and 18 that are the issue, they plumb into the side of the tank as well.

There's already a port in the top of the radiator to vent there. As well as another path from the rear of the head. Drilling this easy out isn't going to be fun...

Since there's not the first section of hose left on this thing and since I'll be replacing the MC, I guess I'll go with DOT3 since the brake system will be basically new. (And a lot cheaper to bleed thing thing out!) Is there any harm in me relocating that top most coolant resv. hose or...

Got the zerk installed into the drain plug and pumped a bunch of marine grease into the steering box. Also greased up every zerk I could find under the front end and middle axle. Looks like the u-joints don't have zerks in them put ports to remove and pump in with a needle. I'll get that done...

Replaced the fuel filters today. Since I knew the gasket was leaking on one of them, I pulled the mounts off to remove the O-ring seal. No wonder they were leaking! Both were rock hard, probably there since 1972 when it was made. One came out in one piece (primary), the other came out in...

Ordered a set of oil and fuel filter for it today, as well as some Rotella T1 40wt oil. I pulled the plug from the bottom point of the front steering box, more water. :( I let it drip for a while and found mud in the bottom of it as well. I'll drag the hose out to it and flush it out...

Ordered a NOS MC and a set of brake and air lines from popacom this AM. :beer:

The goat is no longer dragging is arse! Much smoother moving it around now instead of having to rev and slip the clutch to get it going. I need to replace every single brake hose on this thing. Also need a MC as well. Almost every hose is gone, or rotten on it. I believe there's two hoses...

I'd place DOT 3 in other MV's after a complete flush. But due to the nature of a goat, it will only see DOT 5. Course the only MV I had with DOT 3 was my M1009.

ATF (Well Dex III that I used) is a synthenic based oil with corrosion inhibitors and detergents. Mineral spirits is another paraffin derived liquid. Just a solvent in the mix. DOT 3 is a gylcol based liquid. I didn't use very much of this. It's main purpose in the mix was to help pull...

I'm probably going to head down and pick up another rear end. But since this thing actually rolls now freely again. I'm going to "waste" a little bit of oil on it to see how it performs. I'm going to leave the concoction in it for a little while. The ATF and other chemicals will help remove...

I managed to whip up a concoction today. ATF + DOT 3 + Injector cleaner + Mineral Spirts + Diesel fuel + Denatured alcohol. I climbed under the goat again and found a bunch of mud in the bottom of the differential. I scooped what clumps I could out with my finger. Then I used the garden hose...

How'd you fix it? Replacement? I thought about mixing some home brew penetrating oil (ATF, Acetone, Diesel fuel, and some PB blaster) and letting it soak for a little while to see if it frees up.

Got the driveshaft loose, it's the rear diff. I knew the Marvin said the diffs were empty. Front two only had a few drops of oil come out. But the rear poured out about two quarts of muddy water and two shot glasses of mud. Monday I'll hoist the rear in the air with my wrecker and start...

What was wrong with your rear axle? Was it locked?
