Experienced Mechanics Helper

Save to Favorites

The American Military Museum is looking for an experienced person to help with the upkeep of the older vehicles we have in our collection. These vehicles include gas and diesel fired engines, so, knowledge of points type ignition and carburation are preferred. Diesel is not as hard to keep in a running state, but we can teach you basics. Some of the other things include small military gasoline engines like the OA4-4, 2 cylinder opposed used in the M274 Mule as well as small engines on grounds maintenence items, blowers, mowers, trimmers, etc. We also do alot with brake systems, so that is a preferred skill also. Vehicles range from small things, like the Mule to Jeeps to1-1/2, 2-1/2, 5 and 10 ton trucks large things like tanks, APCs and LARCs

Hours are not set in stone, our retired mechanic is on premisis Tuesday and Wednesday, but the hours you choose are up to you, Tuesday thru Sunday.

We have younger volunteers that are willing to learn. This position can allow you to teach a younger person a skill that is no longer being taught in school or passed down through generations. No tools are required, we will supply them.

If you are retired and want to get out of the house for a few hours, we will welcome you, come and join our family and help keep our retired War Horses alive!
