@RAS1Dave, here is one Vendor, I am sure that there are many more; https://www.studebakerparts.com/studebakerparts/store/s/agora.cgi?product=engine3
I did some business with the vendor in this link (valves and gasket set) and I was very pleased with their assistance and service.

Not a lot of work done last month.
Had to travel for work so Weasel has been silent.
Anyway got some new items for the Weasel.
Engine cover which needed some repairs.
Have a rear floor panel, which needs some repairs in the future, but mainly new footman loops.
Looking for some advice on the color.
As my Weasel is an M29C everything was olive drab off factory.
Anyway a lot of recent purchased items are white.
What shall I do, repair and repaint in white, or stick with the factory olive drab color.

Hi all,
Looking for the connection of the electrical fuel pump, which is bolted on the fuel tank itself.
Below picture should make clear what I'm looking for.
Thanks Frank -

@F.JanssenAny chance of identifying the weasels that are fitted with flotation equipment?
Send you a PM

@Patrick TiptonThere was a post about fitting a G503 water pump:
Might be worth a good read and trial

Not the best pictures, but this is what I have

@Will Dodge
Yes, I need to re-rubber.
Rubber on them is very bad and will not last long...
@Patrick Tipton
One small step at the time indeed.
That also make the whole process more clear. And as space is my big issue, I can get stuff finished and out of the way for the next. -
I had quite a productive day.
Having the guide wheels removed.
And also having the idler wheels off.
These came off very easy, and I'm happy to not having to do a lot of work on the axle.
The carrier / arm needs some TLC as they have weld the grease hole shut....and it has a lot of wear.
Edit:
Although it now comes to my mind, that this is already a replacement as it is a solid rod.
This as the originals are tubed.
Inside the tub, only the final drive is remaining...

I got a lot of small jobs done.
The rods for high/low and the short steering rods have been cleaned and are ready for green paint.
The shifting rods needs some work, as they cut the forks, extended them, and rewelded.
Most of the panels I have are ready for sandblasting.
I'm looking for some pictures on the 3/8" bolts that are spotwelded to the engine panel, on which the wing nuts are for locking of the engine cover.
Anyone a picture from the rear side?
Also looking for the length of the bolts.Assembled the water pump, only waiting for the fan to be dry.

Hi Patrick,
In your latest youtube video you had a question about one of the panels in the rear of the vehicle.
The cutout should be there in my opinion.
It is to allow the panel to be fitted with the bracket of the stretcher-bracket installed.
A good picture on the pages of OZM29C:-

It is definately not the most beautiful any more...
Dimensions are spot on only the angle is 2 degrees off.
Taking bubba's work in account, it could be worse.

Thank you!
Seems that they have lengthened the legs by making a cut and welding a piece in between.The holes and angle all seem to suit these measurements.
Some cutting and welding to do....-

Great to go through all these pictures as see your Progress. Great jobs on the sender units 👌 this will be a job for me soon.
cheers, ByronThanks,
I think I need to redo some parts of the sender unit, I made a mistake with some anti-corrosion stuff, which is now a kind of making everything corroding even faster....anyway, overhauled the carb, which only needs some final parts yet.

Hi Aron,
Thanks
You're Weasel is already in the list.
In my next update your engine numbers are added, although these are the casting numbers I assume.
The engine number is starting with T24 xxxxx and can be found on the boss, drivers side of the engine near the water pump.

maybe this is of help?

Hi Rob,
Out of interest, what exactly is a "Letterkenney Weasel" -
I have been away for work for a while so very limited works been done...
I needed to halt the assembly of the controls as I'm lacking about 3 bushings.
Need to see if I can find these somewhere or will fabricate some.Have the oil filter done and the oil pump.
next up...?

M29C Weasel - body nr 6672

Hi Dave,
Yes it is reproduced.
Let me check if I can get the file, as I did not made it myself.
It is made as a decal, same as you use in model building.
You can print it on special decal paper using an inkjet printer / apply 3 layers of clear varnish / cut out / soak in luke warm water / apply.
regards
Frank
