Patching up the old girl !
Been doing other things and now getting back on patching my M151. She is a 1/2 cut and was not rebuilt very well.And your every day "RUST" . I will be doing a general repair, not a restor. So on with the show.
I think I'm going to be sick ?
Nice patch ! NOT!
Also looking to over haul the trans? Any body in the AZ. ?

Re: Patching up the old girl !
In my experience new transmission parts are relative expensive. If you need significant more than fixing leaks, you might be better off by looking for a rebuild one. In case your transfer is noisy, getting a new immediate shaft with rollers and the roller bearing at the brake drum will be financially ok. But if you need synchros and gears for the transmission and gears for the transfer, it gets out of balance quickly.

Re: Patching up the old girl !
Interesting pictures. When it was cut it, the cut went through everything, including the brake line. It looks like the original line was kept and the repair splice made with compression fittings. Apparently it has held. Am I seeing that right?
Nice project, keep posting progress, and good luck with it.

Re: Patching up the old girl !
Horst, a rebuilt one may be the way to go. Mine is ok but I want to start using it offroad more. Was looking at the Rhino's and it dawned to me that I have a M151! Not going to do anything nuts, just want a good ride ! I was a motor messenger in Germany in the 70's and put over 200,000 miles on 3 ,151's. Got to know the guy's in the motor pool pretty good. Helped clean parts when doing P.M.'s. Funny thing, we never called them M.U.T.T's.

Re: Patching up the old girl !
I found that a 1" x 1 1/2" steel is the same size as the lower flange +-. That lower panel is very flimsy so I added the tubing to the back and built a patch.
And welded it in. Also needed to braze some of it. The repair for the 1/2 cut was brazed in places.
This M151 is # 53 ( that is what the tag under the front grill has on it} but look what I found!
And it is on both L and R kick panels. Cool.
Oh,and more rust!

Re: Patching up the old girl !
I would be interested to see a picture of that tag as would ken the muttguru I am sure. I am guessing that is a straight 151? Lets see some pics of the whole vehicle.
I hate it when people use brass, that makes for a tough repair job and a lot of cutting out that sometimes was not needed.

Re: Patching up the old girl !

Re: Patching up the old girl !
It is odd to see one that early that is cut, it must have stayed in service a long time.

Re: Patching up the old girl !
Is their a way to tell if the speedo has rolled over ? It reads 29583.3 .
Re: Patching up the old girl !
That should be about right, that is the average of most of the 151's I see. Now the guns........................................ Can't say I ever saw a setup like that before!
