these are the belts my vendor found for me. There were belts on my engine and a spare set tucked away. The Mitsubushi belts were a perfect match. It is tight getting the generator belt on but no different than the original.

Thanks!

Sorry for the double videos. I didn’t know how to edit it out.
this works well. I used a paint stick to highlight the timing marks. Then on the front pulley made two marks that correspond with the flywheel marks. I use the pulley marks most for timing and only verify the setting with the original.
What size and brand of fan belts did you use?

Hi there, this may be a bit of a thread hijack, but I’m looking for some info on some weasel blocks I have here,
#1 Stamped T24 8903 and low on the block X 4 11
#2 T24 6692. x 3 10
#3 T24 II 54 (looks like capital i not a 1). And low on the block W 9. 30 (this block is white over red primer)
from the list from member Jannsen posted looks like these are all M29 vintage.
I think I read the x means 1944, so is W 43?
Thx guys
Indeed! W=1943 and X=1944.

Same as with ours.

Hi all!
Due to the pictures in this thread I was able to (kind of) reproduce the compass box! I used 0.8mm (0.03 inches) aluminium sheet to bend the main front facia. Then the side panels were bolted on like the original. As vibration dampers I used thick rubber washers. To mount the box under the dashboard I used 5mm (0.19 inches) aluminium sheet and some more rubber washers under the dashboard. Sadly no fancy brass cast bracket.... The paint is simple black matte paint. It was dapped with a brush until dry in order to resemble the original finish. The compass is original, works great and even the light still works. Our M29C weasel will soon have its floaters completed and mounted. Thus it may technically not need the compass to be history "correct". However we think a "boat" should have a compass, and it was a fun project! Thanks to all who posted info and pictures!
Greetings,
Pips
Mooi gemaakt! Well done.

FYI As a WWII Dodge owner I saw that the Studebaker Museum has production cards for vehicles including the years 1943-45. I thought they may have something similar to the Dodge build cards.
I just asked the museum staff and this was their reply.
"Thank you for your email. I am sorry to report we do not have build sheets for Weasels. We do have the engineering drawings, however, for most if not all of its parts.Best wishes!"This might be old news to many of you but I thought others might be intereted.LTC (ret) TimToo bad!

Hi Frank. Dave here with some more info. The serial number for my Weasel is 7699. I have since found that the Registration number is 40185397-S. Also the Hull Tag Number falls in between 4250-4285. I looked at several of your charts you have compiled. It looks as though my Weasel should be an M-29 with the serial no. of 7699. What do you think?
Yess, 40185397-S is correct for yours. Its an M29C because M29C starts with #3103. M29 ends with 3102......Yours is a contract II-022-2045 Weasel.

Welcome, looks like someone built that on to have fun with. The perimeter rails should have protected the hull from trees. Good luck with your project. The more you get into it the better things get.

Cool find!

Hi everybody!
New on this forum. We (2 brothers) hail from The Netherlands. We are the proud owners of an early M29 with serial number 1744.
This forum is a very good source to learn what we need to know about the M29 Weasel.
We also learned a lot from watching Patrick T's youtube channel on restoring the T24! Thanks for that P!
Hope to learn more and meet other Weasel addicts!😇
The roof which you see on the photo below is already gone btw..........😉

Hello everybody!
I'm from Germany and I also own a Weasel M29 10XXX
We have also had the "Staman rubber chains" for about 2 years. After we installed it, there are problems with the front axle for the second time. The originally "thinner" axle was exchanged for a reinforced, thicker hollow axle with greater wall thickness when the chain was changed from the original to rubber.
This first built-in axle was bent on the right side (motor) after about 5 hours of driving! When removing and changing this axle, the "carrier arm" also located at the front right was renewed because it was also a bit bent!
Now we have made a test drive with the new reinforced axle (light terrain with a little mud, approx. 3 km) and the new axle is bent again!
This time stronger on the left side, but also a bit on the right side!
What are we doing wrong? An operator error?
In this thread I read to fill out the axis with solid material? Do you relate to the original Weasel tracks? Our "new" interchangeable axle made from a replica was already significantly larger in wall thickness! (When buying the rubber track, we were advised to use these reinforced axles from reproduction, as the rubber tracks are more stressed than the original chains!
The curvature of the axle towards the rear of the vehicle always begins roughly in the flange, or when the axle emerges from the bottle from the frame! On the front you can always see a gap between the "carrier arm" and the flange, which then gets bigger and bigger at the front!
It would be great to have help from you guys. We haven't had the weasel for a very long time and have little experience, and the scene in Germany is very small.
can it also be a problem with the frame of the weasel? But was everything correct with the newly installed axle and was everything in order immediately after the measurement?
What are we doing wrong? Can someone give us some advice? Are we thinking about making a completely new (massive) axle? We are grateful for any help.
