The original data plate is missing, maybe Ken can tell me what I have.

Hambone,
did I answer this question? I followed a link from a different posting and ended up here, but I don't recall replying to you directly.

Hambone, that BUDD number equates to a Ford-built M151A1, delivered Sept 1966 under Contract DA20-113-AMC-02787-(T)-(MYP). If it was issued to the army, it would most likely have had a hood number close to 2L 0xxx.

Hope this helps.....
Ken

You never know what you will find when rebuilding one of these jeeps, I guess the last guy wasn't up to the challenge of changing the rear a-arm bushings, he decided using red rubber hose would be easier.

Those appear to be red urethane bushings. Or whats left of them.

Looks are deceiving, black on the inside, red on the outside, layered rubber, the nylon cord was the dead give away, they didn't even cut them straight.

At least the ride was soft, for a short period.

Haven't been wanting to bore you with this none original project, here are a few parts I have finished, this is the color I'm going with, it's BLP camo paint, painted my M211 with it and it's been holding up well.

Also about to build a rotisserie that I can roll in and out of the shop.

If you have a stuck piston in the master cylinder, you can screw a 1/2" bolt into it to extract it

, figured my core would be in bad shape, cleaned right up, gonna try my new ultrasonic cleaner from Harbor Freight, then run a hone thru it, didn't see any pitting at all. new master cylinder $75, rebuild kit $30.

That master cylinder appears to still have the small holes in it. Are the holes in the mounting bracket a lot bigger? Usually you have to drill out the holes in the master cylinder. I am wondering if someone just used smaller bolts. And I am really interested in how the cleaner works.

Rick, they are 5/16" bolts
