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.

😂 Cast iron lives matter Howard!  Weasel content coming up!

Thank you Jay - appreciate the kind words and the inspirational quotes...always learning my friend.

Looking forward to Oshkosh.....good friends and all my favorite noise making activities in one venue!😍

100% correct, but that fender was a big PITA to get on...so I was being a wimp😂

A staff car!  Hmmmmm.....I bet you know a guy!

Appreciate the kind words and your support Scott!  Here's to a great 2024!

Thanks Dave!  Hope you are enjoying that retirement gig!  Stencils are ordered!

Thank you Dave!  Dennis definitely has the gift of gab😂  He indeed does have a vehicle or two....we will have to work on getting them into the show this year!  Pat's jeep will be here soon for some shakedown cruises....tub and frame back together again....

Happy New Year!

Thank you Nick!

I was hoping you would chime in.  Best guess....some type of grease or residue from the spare tire.  As I mentioned in the video, Pat D got the top with his GPW....and it had this stain on it when we installed it on Murph...just to kinda see what it looked like.  Sounds like we best leave it alone. 

Appreciate the expertise Nick!
