As found on my M-29C Weasel, July 45 production. The marking was masked by a decal on the glass for many years.

I thought I would share my recent experience insuring my M-29C Weasel. My family has used State Farm since the 50s and has always gotten competitive rates. My GPW and WC-51 are through them and when I bought the Weasel I added it. I took the weasel to the office for pictures and paid my premium. Everything was good. Two months later they sent me a letter saying they would not insure it because it was tracked and ending my insurance in a week. I did some research and saw a recommendation for American Modern Insurance. I found a local agent and worked with him. After a week and much consternation it came back at $800. I informed him that was about $100 a mile it would be driven in the next year. I knew the Weasel had been with JC Taylor with the prior owner. I submitted everything to them and its now insured. I am probably going to move over my remaining MVs when I get my 4th one restored because they don't charge extra for parts of their insurance over 3. Sorry State Farm but you're losing my business.

Does anyone have drawings or detailed photos of the driver's side stretcher bar mounts. This would be the one on the driver's side rear and on the exhaust frame. Thanks, LTC (ret) Tim

I finally found a copy of this so I scanned it and am posting it here. I also submitted it to the downloads section. LTC (ret) Tim Kern Weasel Article.pdf

What would the number be on a weasel bridge plate. I am thinking 3. LTC (Ret) Tim

I have one remaining radio mast base mount for a weasel. This is the kind that mounts over the muffler. I fabricated this off the specifications in the manual. The top hole is 2 1/8” as specified. Be aware the MP-44 is just under 1 1/2” so you can fill the gap with a washer. The hole is probably a universal size for larger antenna masts. You’ll have to drill The holes for mounting to match your weasel. $125 plus shipping or $200 if bought with radio legs I’ve listed. Shipping in the US is about $40. Located in Missouri. I won’t be making any more of these.

One set remains

I needed some of the legs for mounting the radio tray in the passenger compartment of my weasel so I made a couple extra sets. They are made to the exact specifications in the manual (which gives no signal corps part number) and they fit perfectly. You’ll have to drill the mounting holes to match your weasel and tray. The steel requires a solid bit to drill the holes to get through this steel. I'm asking $100 for a set plus shipping cost. Contact me here or by email at soldierboy440@yahoo.com. LTC (ret) Tim

This is how we did it. It worked pretty well. We did one tighten up along the way of the comealongs. The emotional support chocks worked well and the front ones were slightly scrunched after the catastrophic tire explosion and sudden stop along the way. I had to work to get them removed when I off loaded it by myself. The trailer didn’t have stake pockets so we tied off the frame in the front and verticles in the back. We did use jackstands when loading near the rear of the trailer which was a good move. We did have one get stuck under the trailer but we used a Jack and it came off. LTC (ret) Tim

Do you have any of the stretcher brackets left? I am looking for one for my weasel. tim Update I have them now.

I think the wheel chocks are probably just emotional support chocks for me transporting this the first time. LTC (ret) Tim
