  1. Career Union Journeyman Glazier here. L.O.F. = Libby, Owens, Ford. Read left to right, obviously. "HI-TEST SAFETY PLATE" A.S.-W.S. "auto-safety, windshield safety" I have forgotten what the LY was abbreviated for. Perhaps late 1960's to mid 1970's glass. Unfortunately, there is not a date stamp so more than likely not original glass. These days, Laminated glass for automotive use is "AS-2". This code means that the Poly-Vinyl Laminate sheet is 45 thousandths of an inch thick as opposed to "AS-1" which is for commercial bldg. and trades use at 25 thou.
  2. I made a mold and used 2 part Poly-Urethane rubber and pigmented the liquid black AND white. Duro hardness of 95. They came out quite well.
  3. Great photos Brad! I hope that you can get Your Weasel up and running better. WHEEEW on them gasoline prices there. I thought that $4.15 a gallon was rough here in Wa. state, but damn!! Anyway, it looks great..
  4. Good Day Men. I haven't been too active since Patrick started this wonderful Web-Page. BUT, I have been working on some small parts for the engine most recently. I have successfully rebuilt my 1st. ever generator. It was so simple, I'm kind of kicking myself for not doing the ones for my G-506 trucks, I just saved about $350.00 by NOT having my "go-to" shop do it. I digress. Here is a short video of the motoring test of the generator. There are two recent videos of it being torn down and then reassembled on my channel. Thanks for watching. Enjoy.
  5. Today I disassembled the starter. In this video I remove the Solenoid and test it to find out whether or not it still operates.
  6. I have begun to repair/rebuild components of my Weasel. I have had it too long and repaired too little. It has become a bad habit and I'm sick of it. The video may be a little long, but there is important info in it that will help others with the assembly process. I also included the maker of a quality rebuild kit that uses modern materials. Thanks for watching.
  7. Ernie, I received your P.M about Weasel track band replacements utilizing conveyor belt. Check your P.M. box for instructions. Dave. P.S. congrats on your weasels, they look great!!
  8. Brad, will You be offering anything for sale? If so I am in need of a complete front vent lid assembly. You found a great stash and I'm thrilled to see that You are able to recover what You can. Please keep the photos coming. Dave.
  9. Not mine. From the land of no rain, Tehachapi Calif. Good luck men. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/ant/cto/d/tehachapi-1943-studebaker-weasel/7513868849.html
  10. Fred, that is an awesome fix you have found. Years ago I used 2 part poly urethane rubber pigmented black with a duro-hardness of 90 and a soft silicon mold of the idler half. I made the pour and things worked out very well. I like this fix for the return rollers.
