aclark79's 1111

I wanted to give an update and ask a few questions regarding some odds and end parts.  First the bad/good news.

 

I had a pretty bad exhaust manifold leak and my timing was shot.  I ended up having almost no power and I couldn't even get her up a hill except by crawling in first gear.  It was pretty awful.  The fix was way past my skill level, but thankfully there is a fantastic mechanic in my town who's hobby is restoring old Volvo car's with just this engine. 

 

I'm very happy to report that I'm back in business.  Now there is a new electric ignition and both exhaust manifold leaks fixed.  Engine is running strong and the timing is set. 

The other good news for me is we identified the hoses that were in danger of breaking (due to age) and replaced the hub seals for the portals.  It's not pretty yet and there's still body work to do, but it's drive able again.  I've also made contact with a guy who's going to let me use his paint booth at his company to finish paint.  Then I can work on getting the decals back on, adding the grip tape to the rocket storage box and adding a radio and those other minor things.  They are also going to make me a "table" that goes over the battery box.

Question:  Is there a source for the hydraulic arms that hold up the rocket box cover when it's in the open position.  I can't find a parts list specifically for the 1111.  Does anyone know which part this is or the specs for it? 

 

Is there a source for the 24v outlet covers?  All mine were either broken or broke due to age. 

 

Lastly, anyone ever sell the heavy camouflage cover? 

 

Thanks again everyone!  I still have yet to get her stuck anywhere.

Looks good!

 

I´m a bit late on this but if you are still looking for the "24v outlet cover" I can tell you that I have never seen the cover by it self, only sold as a unit and is rather expensive. Hella makes them, the partnumber is in the link: https://www.samecollection.com/shop-pl/en/501017/1046621/947369/8JB001935051+2-pin+socket Goes by the name of "nato outlet" here.

Yes, thank you.  That is what I mean.  Due to the age/previous use, poor preventive maintenance?  For whatever reason all the plugs for the front power ports, and the rear port on the right hand side rear lamp are broken. I have simple plastic plugs in them that work in a pinch, but I'd like to have proper ones again.

Trucks been running great, up until the distributor on the new electronic ignition burned and started sputtering.  I thought it was a carb issue, a torn baffle, but it was in the end a very easy fix. 

 

The backup light's plastic switch on the engine disintegrated, so I've got it wired up to a spare headlight switch that went into one of the open slots on the dash.

 

I fixed my dyslexic spelling of wiper fluid and coolant, that was a little embarrassing. 

 

I also got an adapter finished for an RPD, which I've mounted occasionally in the M240 mount.  I don't drive around town like that though!

 

The great news is that the hubs and axles are in top shape, no leaks, no sign of wear. 

 

I'd still like to find a source for some of the Swedish Army metal vehicle identification signs, are there any surplus stores in Sweden that sell them?

 

Mogfest is this weekend, I'll take a bunch of pictures and post them up afterwards.

In the never ending quest of fixing things since the last update I've done the following (or my mechanic has!)

 

Retimed the ignition, no more pinging

Dropped the fuel tank and fixed a split seam, the inside was coated by the Army before demobilization and is in fantastic shape

bypassed the inline mechanical fuel pump, replaced with a electirc pump at the tank, pushing instead of pulling, two inline filters, bypassed the float bowl and rerouted to avoid overheating the fuel (vapor lock)

Replaced the leaf springs on the front after cracking the left front spring.

Replaced the CV boot on the right side twice, now with loctite on the bolts. 

Adjusted the turn stop limiter, it was kinda mushed and turning to far left.

Replaced a number of light bulbs, experimented with LED bulbs which have not worked on the rear lights, not enough impedance to trip the systems. 

Braided paracord grab handles for the back and passenger side to ease getting in.

 

Things to do, replace the front shocks, one is broken.

Replace the left rear brake cylinder, very slow leak.

Install a screen on the radiator opening to prevent grass / etc from entering

 

I still have some electrical problems, the fuse for the power ports blows immediately when turned on and I have no power at the 24v plus in the cab, the front of the blackout light box.  Honestly not sure where to start trying to fix that.  I have an inverter installed and can get power for a GPS or a phone that way, but I'd rather have the ports working.

 

Does anyone have a lead on the table that sat over the battery box on the TGB 1111, for measurements.  It was a simple table with a drop down leg, a metal grate patern bottom.  I've seen it in pictures but never in real life. I'd love to buy one, but would fab one up otherwise if I had measurements.

 

Also, here's a link to every TGB 1111 photo I've ever found on the web and some other resources:
