Green Iron TV episode 61 - Basic Maintenance on Military Vehicles
Very good video
Glad you liked it.
Good video. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Yes, we all hate it once the salt trucks take the roads!
Yes people who don't live where it gets cold will never know the pain of dealing with the mess the salt trucks make.
I use the NOCO Genius1 trickle charger. Best $30 ever spent.
Yep these small trickle chargers work great to maintain the batteries for the winter.
Good job, all MV operations have ceased here in Maine as well.
Yep, once the salt trucks hit, it's time to put them away for awhile.
It's amazing that the original muffler lasted that long.
Yep, these vehicles are usually pretty low mileage. This one only has about 28,000 on it.
WD-40 is your friend! That new muffler looked like a direct replacement. Good job!
I don't think those bolts would have budged even with WD-40 or PB Blaster. They had not been removed in 55 years and were pretty rusty after years of heat cycles.
Great looking parade.
Thanks
Cool Cannon! What a great project
Thanks
Looks awesome. Love the mascot
Thanks, we felt it was a great touch.
good job.
Thanks
Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for watching
Nice group of trucks. I was lucky enough to have my m35a2 and my m1009 in my local parade. I had vets in the back of my deuce it was nice to be able to do that
It's always great to be able to give the veterans rides in the parades. Great Job!
Looks stunning, Dave. 👍👍👍
Thanks
I forwarded this video to 10 guys. We all should for our hobby.
Thanks, I appreciate it. Every little bit helps keep history alive.
When we get to the point of cutting off the entire, cut as close to the rim as you feel safe to do, then the Dremel tool is used to cut through the steel cords. The tool I listed below will break the bead. Those rims appear to be the old WWII widow maker rims that shops will not work on. The safety rim is what your M715 or the M37 and that vintage of vehicle uses. Personally, I would have wrapped a chain around that rim (in a couple of places) through the slots in the rim. But that is just me.
Yes, I ended up cutting the last bead with the dremel like I mentioned in the video. Yes, we strapped the tires when reinstalling them and inflating them. You can see that on this week's episode that comes out Friday morning.
The scope mount is super rare to find on a 57mm.
Yes, I've read that. It's in pretty good shape for sitting outside for the last 70 years and the elevation feature still work on the sight. Eventually I would like to find the proper M69C scope to go in it.
Looks great. Good thing those wheels use tubes because the beads look rough. Is the correct color 33070?
Yes, lucky they are military tubed tires. I painted it in #24087 because it will go back on display at the American Legion and the semi-gloss finish should last better than a matte finish. Plus the #24087 is what I had in stock.
Cool
🪖Hope the Parade🇺🇲Season was filled with lots fun routes with y'all up North. That replica MA Duece sounding & looking real good! 💯 The Karens🤣 Indiana neighbor here. Have a great week.👍
Yes we had a great parade and show season, with just one parade left for Veteran's Day. Thanks!
It was a great car show. Couldn't have asked for better weather. Thank you for the video
Yes, the weather was outstanding for October.
Great video. I’m taking my m35a2 and my m1009 to a car show tomorrow
Awesome, hope you have a great show!
People who do not know what they are doing , need to stop doing videos.
OK, then what would you have done differently to remove 70 plus year old tires that had rotten sidewalls and the beads were basically rusted to the wheel? These were not the first military safety ring wheels I've ever worked with.
Would heat help soften the bead? What is that pulley/eye hook thing on the wheel hub?
The old tires were so hard that probably the only heat that would have help would have set them on fire. 🤥 The eyes on the wheel hubs looks like they are for tying the cannon down for shipment most likely.
Can't believe those tires wouldn't hold air.😅
Yep, can't believe they wouldn't. Ha Ha.
Fun show in Oshkosh!
Yes, it was a great show.
I really enjoyed hearing about the red M38A1. I couldn't hear the owner say what year. We drove mostly M151 in the USAF, but there were some M38A1 that always went to more senior airman.
It is an early 1953 M38a1 before the update changes. I was remarkably original and scored well because of that fact.
Do HMV owners typically have insurance? Is it required at these events?
@@richardparrott1580 Yes, I run full coverage on my vehicles. Although some events don't require it, it would be best to carry full insurance incase anything happens to the vehicle either at the show or when transporting it there.
This was awesome to watch. It's great to see these trucks grab folks interest and helps keep the memory of the ones who served in these trucks alive. Great build.
Thanks, these are great looking trucks.
Thanks for this very helpful and informative video…and will refer to it in finishing up my M38A1. You have a beautifully restored machine. Can you tell me how I may find more info on how to accurately configure the hood numbers…specifically the later versions as you have on your hood.
Thanks, glad it helped you. As for the hood registration numbers, once they are lost there is really no way to recover them. There are several ways to make correct looking numbers. Contact the guys at www.deltateamdecals.com/ as they are awesome at helping to make up correct numbers.
Beautifully restored vehicles…thx for sharing this experience with us and congratulations on your wins! Inspiring me to finish work on my M38A1…thx again and maybe will see each other in Louisville 👍👏
Thanks, and good luck with getting your M38a1 finished up and hopefully we will see it at the show in Louisville.
Great job enjoyed it nice jeep
Thanks, it was a fun restoration on the M38a1 and I'm glad all the hard work paid off.
Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for always watching!
Congratulations on the awards. How are the vendor prices?
A lot of the vendors had great pricing on items and I picked up a few small items I was looking for.
Some big leakers there. LOL
The joys of old vehicles. You don't get worried until they stop leaking. Ha Ha
@@greenirontv324 Old cars don't leak, they mark their territory. 🙂
Nice work, it's a great kit
Thanks
Thank you for going through the judging criteria list... Very helpful
Glad it can help
Looking forward to your upcoming videos of the MVPA.
Thanks, we should have some good stuff from the show.
Who keeps track of the existing trucks serial number? Is that on M715 zone?
Yes, the M715zone has the most up to date list of serial numbers that have been submitted by members.
Good job
Thanks
I'm glad I watched to the end ( no, I didn't FF ). That is a cool project. My uncle had a military museum up in that part of Wisconsin. He passed away a couple years ago and all his stuff is just sitting. I told my cousin about the MVPA convention. Thanks for the heads up!
@@richardparrott1580 Yes the MVPA Convention in Oshkosh is from Sept. 11- 14th. The 57mm anti-tank guns should make for a fun restoration.
Thanks and good luck.
Thanks
Your m725 videos have helped to motivate me to start working on mine. Got it started, running, electrical issues identified and parts ordered. So excited to drive it soon
That check sheet looks like something my CO wanted to brown nose the two star. All I wanted was a functional vehicle that wouldn't leave me stranded in the middle of a desert. I think our motor pool kept a "dog and pony show" vehicle for those occasions. 😅 Love the M38A1 and M151.
It can be quite intimidating when you first look at everything listed on it. But pretty easy once you start going through it for a restoration.
Do you have any leads on that grease-able shackle bolt? All of the big companies don’t have any
No, I don't. You might try looking up a local truck spring shop in your area. It's nothing special for a shackle bolt. Take the old one in with you and I bet they can match it.
ผมมี 1คันครับขายไปแล้ว
Is that a prop rifle in the 2nd 2.5ton or a real one?
It's an airsoft replica
LOL hey! That's me in the General Taylor's booth at 18:33
Glad you made the video!
Gotta get me one of those sirens.
Yes, they are great for parades. We just use the cheap 12v ones from Amazon and wire them to one side of the batteries. They don't draw much and don't run constant, so you don't have to worry about causing an imbalance between the batteries.
A fellow M715 owner here with a couple of practical suggestions. (1) If you develop a flat, make sure to check the exterior AND the interior of the tire case for the penetrating object before reassembly. Whatever caused the flat might still be in there! DO wipe out the interior of the tire and clean up the beads. (2) once your tire is removed, block that axle up. Then, you can use a high lift jack (placed between the tire sidewall and the bumper of your truck) to push the bead down off the rim. Make sure the standard bar (where it is attached to the foot of the jack) is as close to the safety ring as possible so as to achieve the straightest push downward on the tire. Levering down the sidewall using pry bars where one end is against the safety ring, can have the effect of tilting the bead, causing it be become tighter against the rim. (3) Talcum powder is useful as a dry lubricant for areas where rubber is against rubber, such as where tubes and flaps come together. (4) It is wise to use a lead maul (or of another material softer than the wheel and safety ring) if you must use a hammer. (5) Clean that rim and the safety ring very thoroughly where they join one another. Make sure the mating surfaces are free of dirt, rust, burrs and damage before reassembly.
Good info, I believe I even stated in the video that the tube had ripped the valve stem. This is fairly common in tubed tires as the tire pulls against the tube and valve stem where it protrudes through the rim.
So stock does the dash have a tachometer?
No there is no tachometer stock in the M715 series of trucks.
@@greenirontv324 Thanks, didnt believe so.
It was a good turn out i thought
Yes, there were at least 60 plus cars there. It was a great turnout for the show.
@@greenirontv324 mine was the white truck leaving
@@neverbored_s10_addict Glad you came to the show.
