The rumored T84 video - like Sasquatch....rumored, never really seen....😂😜. The final drive rebuild is pretty cool.  We spent a fair amount of time with the brake setup (next video) and learned a ton.  We won't know how much we really learned until we drive the machine, but it looks right now and I am betting that she is going to steer very easily....

That is a new vocab word for me "hanyaukering"😜.  I am going to call - there are several gaskets that are unavailable for the Weasel and should be added to your product inventory.  Cheers my friend!

Yea buddy!

Are you implying that WW2 G503/related fuel gauges actually function? 😂. Murph's actually works...Grey Man....every once in a while it will swing wildly to remind me that it doesn't work 99.9% of the time.  Probably a ground issue too....

Appreciate the kind words Jay!  Drop those drums off - an excuse to build the extension and find an old brake lathe!  Made in America baby!

LOL!  Thanks for tolerating me Mark!  Appreciate all of your support😀

Appreciate your support on all levels Scott!

I will happen eventually....!

I promise you are going to receive a Weasel top care package this month!  We will talk my friend.

Thanks Robert.  I don't have that much experience getting Weasels to steer correctly.  I think the detergent may hurt your cause, but I think worn out bands and poor condition drums are a more likely culprit.  Did you replace the bands/have the final drive open?

I have driven Weasels that steer with fingertip pressure, so I know that is how they are supposed to work.  I should have my rivets today - will be replacing the pads on both sets of bands.  We are going to be doing some engine maintenance work soon on the the M29...will pull the final drive then and work on it.
