I am the curator of the California State Military Museum and recently we found what appears to be a M151A1C with a 26 inch Xenon searchlight. It was inside of...
If that Xenon searchlight is mounted in the back of the vehicle pointing to the rear, then I recall seeing either that vehicle or its twin brother. I was...
Oops that would be Gila Bend Arizona, and the vehicle at that time was straight olive drab with a rag top. Sorry about forgetting that little detail in the...
Hey Buzz; What did you guys use the portable Xenon light for? I see its marked for the Corps. Kind of strong for light cart, I would think? The one that we had...
My 1971 A2 has grown very hard to start and just about hte only way that I can get it to crank is to pull start it. Using the starter, useless. I'm thinking...
Is the starter turning over fast enough or is it dragging? It sounds like an ignition issue but I would check compression and fuel pump pressure to elliminate...
Everett is correct. First you have to have a decent cranking speed. Take your batteries to a battery dealer and have them tested. I took a AC Delco (the...
The starter seems to be turning over as fast as it did when it would crank right up. I've ordered new plugs, electronic ign conversion and going to look at...

My similar problem was a sticky float valve. The rubber tip of the valve adhered to the top of the valve tube. It drove me nuts till I carefully cleaned it....
Ah. May have to check that with mine. I find that after she sits a while, she's hard to start. Pumping the acc. pedal helps during cranking. I think the fuel...
I fitted a hand primer and fuel filter/dewatering unit. It certainly helps to give a quick start after the vehicle has been standing for a couple of weeks or...
Les, How much water do you get filtered out and what climate do you live in? Thanks Glayron ... From: Les Winder To: muttmotorpool@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Glayron, I am based in Bahrain, Middle East and don't expect to find any water in the filter at all! The de-watering feature is incidental to having a well...
Les, I got it! I live in Florida and thought maybe this dewatering feature might be helpful. However, we are in bad need of water at the moment! We're...
Glayron, The main reason we use them on boats in Bahrain is because of the humidity. The boat fuel tank breathes to atmosphere with temperature changes and...

I know of a guy in Pasco county who rebuilds old Military vehicles, but I don't know of any TV shows on the subject. I can't recall his name at the moment,...

Thanks- but no. the m151 guy in central florida was restoring them not making a new one using the original take-off parts. I saw some pics of the new growler...
And where would he get all the M151's to rebuild? I saw the last 600 left in the military in a yard at Ft. Devens before they went to the crusher in 95 or...
I saw the same thing in Ft Lewis, WA. one of the last batches at Ft Lewis sold for $2.00 each. Thats right, TWO DOLLARS. the surplus dealer that bought them...
