Those unthreaded wheel spindles could be rarities. The first batches of straight M151 models came with unthreaded spindles and push-fit hub caps.

Greetings and a Happy New Year Pat. I've also got a Parkhurst M416A1, it's number 55. They are excellent trailers.... just a little bit heavy at the front end !

This question came up at the War and Peace show in 2016. I posted this on the G503 Board in 2017 after taking advice from Big George. It certainly cured my lukewarm heater.

I know for a fact that the USAF used the M718....I supplied a captain at Mildenhall AFB with a TM-20 and -20P plus a Zenith carb for the M718 they had been hiding in one of the storage facilities. It didn't have most of the ambulance kit on it when I saw it. Eventually it was turned over to the loca...

I spent the morning rummaging through the garage with some success. I found my old 'ballast' coil AND the resistor. The details are on a paper tab glued to the body and it says... USE EXTERNAL RESISTOR UNDER COIL. It was manufactured by Prestolite Division - Eltra Corporation - Toledo, Ohio. Part Nu...
