Here's one of my other toys.

That looks awesome! Can you tell us a little more about it. What engine, trans, drivetrain, how many people does it hold, what kind of speeds, etc?

[Joe M]

Hey Mike!
My Weasel is a 1945 M29c. It has a Studebaker champion 6 cylinder. Standard shift 3 speed transmission. The differential is a cross between a t-20 and Argo Transmission. The differential also has a hi\low range gear. Top seep is 25\30 miles per hour. I have a spare engine that was rebuilt and crated in France in 1958, a NOS Transmission and a NOS Differential... Here are a few shots. You can seat six in the back section.



Transmission below. Date on box is 7/61


The differential was crated, but was outside covered with a tarp. When we went to move the crate if fell apart.

Joe, thanks again for the info. 25 or 30mph seems really fast. I would have guessed half of that. It's cool that you have basically enough NOS parts to replace the entire running gear and man is that differential BEEFY!

[Joe M]

Here ya go Mike... A Weasel in action! I believe this one has a motor and Automatic transmission up-grade. FORD 250 6 cylinder.

[Mike]

Wow! That looks like fun. Is it just me or did anybody else keep hoping that he was going to go over one of those cars?

[whipper-ag]

No I was thinking the same thing. That thing Rocks!.

[George]

OK Joe,

Now I have to come over and see this thing in action!
