I agree whole heartedly with Bmorgil. It doesn't have to be done to show off . If anything, it might inspire others to fix up their rig and get out there too. The Heep didn't look too out of place...

I agree whole heartedly with Bmorgil. It doesn't have to be done to show off . If anything, it might inspire others to fix up their rig and get out there too. The Heep didn't look too out of place...
I'll also hit up David at Ewillys to see if he has any info to see if it was a regional or national rebuild. As far as I knew, the Heep had never been outside of Illinois until I liberated it to the...
Agreed. The cowl to windshield seal leaves a lot to be desired for proper fitment, just like the windshield to glass seal on the 2A.
Agreed. The glass guy called me up and asked what vehicle the rubber seal was supposed to fit..... Not even close. Since the 2A glass is within a frame, they used urethane to seal it all up.
I completely agree with Bmorgil on the quality of the shoes for sure. I'm still running the old drums that probably date back to before at least the Nixon administration, but are pretty round. I...
I was cleaning on the Heep today, still waiting to pick up the starter and generator, and I found the rebuild tag on the engine. It was painted over and dirty. I'll have to do some research on...
Depending where the tail pipe connects to the down tube, I would just whack it off at the tail pipe and put on a cheap glass pack or cheap muffler. To answer your question, back pressure or lack...
Looking great TJ. You have outdone yourself!
The quality of parts being dumped into this country is appalling.
Your axles should hold around two quarts. Any GL5 85-90w oil will do for the axles, since they are not picky. The transmission and T-case need "safe for yellow metal".
The tub looks great in...
It looks like you may have the wrong thread pitch on the hose end causing you the problem, since your old hose was properly seated. I know that there have been some issues in the past with the hoses...
I don't remember if the Dana 44 has the vent on the differential cover or on the top of the axle tube. If yours does not have a vent in the cover, then there should be a vent hose attached to the...
It sounds like to me that you have two issues going on. If your pedal travel is drifting to the left during the travel, then I would first check the brake/clutch cross shaft bushings to ensure that...
The primer looks good. Again, for a first timer, you are doing a great job! Axle nuts are one of those items that need to be checked from time to time. Whenever I have a wheel off the ground...
It's odd to me that with all the technology that's out there, the radios that we install today are Vietnam era technology with some updated receivers, (probably 90s). There are some digital...
Most of the throw out bearings are now sealed, but before there was a grease zerk that needed a shot of grease from time to time. Now that they are sealed, you install and forget now. Sometimes...
The 10 plies will definitely ride rougher than a radial. You can run a lot lower air pressure on the bias plies (15 to 25psi) to soften the jounces. For mainly forest service minimum Maintenace...
Fantastic. The speaker sounds pretty good, and will make for a good effect.
It would be a wise investment to replace the worn items. When in doubt, change it out. Money spent now may save you a lot later on, especially if your brakes or clutch do not respond while driving...
The Power King has been around for a long time and have been a staple store brand tire at many farm supply stores, and they are tough as nails. A question you may want to ask yourself is how are you...
There are three bolts on the pressure plate that adjust the fingers of the pressure plate, but you should not have to adjust those. The best way is to adjust the cable linkage to where you have 1/2"...
That will work!
Ma deuces are probably the coolest round slingers around. We used to have to do remote weapons testing, so we would go over to the armory to sign out a deuce to put on the cradle...
12 volts make life a lot less troublesome. Most of the reason for folks to convert from 24 to 12 is mainly the costs involved with replacement parts.
Two possibilities for a run away pedal:
1) if the brake pedal moves side to side or rotates, you can fix that the low buck way. If the tightening the bolt for the pedal doesn't solve the issue,...
A quick Mrs. Google search came up with an hour's worth of combat radio chatter. With further digging, I'm sure you could come up with artillery specific chatter, since there are files for air...
Some radio units when presented at rallies/shows have recordings of fire missions, (air strikes or artillery) playing over the speakers in a loop. It adds an extra level of presentation to your...
