Really intrigued by the m29 and I'm enjoying the research!! No doubt I will be asking numerous dumb and probably stupid questions to those in the know!! Hopefully I will get some not so stupid answers I enjoy Patrick's shop time ,very informed and helpful,so happy weaseling!!!! Welcome @Martyn2261 to this great forum. I am sure that you will glean a good deal of information about weasels from here. I believe that probably the most important aspect to consider with weasel ownership is the tracks. As they say, a weasel without tracks is a garden ornament. Fortunately nowadays there are a number of solutions to overcome the track problem. @Patrick Tipton Patrick's tremendous shop time Youtube channel is a credit to him and its good to see that you are a subscriber. There are a number of restoration blogs on this forum and are well worthy of your time to read. Finally there are some great UK weasel owners both on here and over on the weasel FB group. The weasel is truly a unique machine. Cheers John W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It requires a little mod to the transmission mount, but is a frequently seen modification. I have returned mine to the T84 configuration because I suffer from purist tendencies, but for a runner....a fine choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanAmDBV42 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Morning, All! New Member. My dream list to restore would be a Weasel (with float tanks), a Willys MB or Ford GPW, an M-35 Deuce and a half, an M-117 track, and a Bell Model 47. I'd be happy with the Weasel and a Jeep, happier with the Weasel, Deuce, and Whirlybird! It only takes money! LOL I'm a HUGE "fan" of the 1st Special Services Force, their weapons and equipment. Hence joining here. Y'all have a great day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronny68 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) 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..........😉 Edited July 29, 2022 by Ronny68 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-D Zernia Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 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. Fred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
