Afternoon Gentlemen... I just finished putting new tires & tubes on Fiona. I purchased ASTRO Military 9.00 X 16 tires and had them mounted by a truck tire center. Took the truck out for a short drive to get fuel and when I returned I noticed that the truck is running on only about 3 to 4 inches ...

No problem NamVet, enjoyed the photo!

In looking at past posts I found the answer I was looking for... thanks again

Hello all, I am still working on my steering issue and find that the ball joints are not lubricating to speak of. I have greased the zert on top but have no idea when there is the enough grease in them because they do not ooze grease like most joints. Anyone know how I should know when they are adeq...

Was proud to take "Fiona" on my first drive... and on the weekend celebrating D-Day too! How memorable!! No problems on the short drive but several minor details that came to light and will need my attention. Thanks to all of you who have provided assistance / insight as I muddled through ...

Hello all, Proud to announce that after a year and a half and let's just say a few thousand dollars, I took Fiona on a short maiden drive through the neighborhood. Everything went as it should except the steering. It steers incredibly hard to the left. I didn't rebuild the steering when I did the fr...

Hello All, I hope everyone is well. I am rebuilding the wiper motors on my M-37 and am wondering if anyone has experience with what grease to use when reassembling... Additionally, I was considering dielectric grease due to its protection properties on the rubber "wiper" inside the motor a...

Dennis (investig8) here in San Antonio. Only been a member for about a year and a half since retiring and purchasing "Fiona". Almost ready to take her for her maiden drive! I love these trucks!!

Greetings all,
It's been about six months and time for an update on Fiona... Was waiting to get the new canvas top put on before posting photos. Getting really close to the first road test! Can't wait!!

Hello again... Today I am looking for help in determining if I need to replace my oil pressure gauge. The gauge is pegged out past 60 psi when the engine is running. I have put a manual gauge on it and consistently show 40 psi oil pressure. My question is, is it possible to connect the gauge backwar...

Good News... Brake springs are installed. My modification to the tool worked well! Yea!!

Thanks, that's exactly how I was taught by my father. I'm working on modifying the spring plier I bought, but at the end of the day I may just need a bigger set of vice grips and hammer! LOL!

Hello again to everyone... I encountered a new problem which I feel that certainly someone has encountered and can provide some direction... I am replacing brakes, including cylinders, shoes and springs. My problem is finding a spring plier that is large enough to work. I purchased one at a local au...

Thanks for the healthy conversation... The unit I posted the photo is manufactured in Italy. After the discussion, I'll pursue one of the recommendations... not so certain about the one I asked about.
Thanks again
Dennis

This unit is available on-line and seems very straight forward. Water circulated with a switch for 24v. Reasonably priced.
