I am working on a m2,Hoping to have it running one day, I,m trying to find other that got one or restoring one, I got three halftracks and ww2 army trucks. would like to hear from you. thank you. :)
Well, I got my wxlc3 Hercules engine out of the m2 and taken apart. All looks great, but need a good cleaning, I will blast engine with black diamond and paint grey. I got a nos gen. and voltage reg. and gauges to go back one. ;D
Hopefully we'll get some responses for you VJ. Sometimes things get slow here.
Thanks Blake, I am just glad you got the site, I got to see pictures, All so got the torque spek. on the rod, main and head bolts from here. ;D
Well, still doing a few things on the mg-1 or m2 hst. I got piston rings from hasting, and got them back in the wxlc3 engine. Did blasting on several parts and primered. Also got hold of other m2 folks, so all is looking good. It take time to restore anything, but its a lot of fun. ;D
Glad you're getting some good information here. I wish some of the other guys would jump in.
