    Hmmm..do you like low flying aircraft?....then here ya go!

    Every time I see anything about 8" artillery I get all misty eyed, I was an 8" artillery guy for a long time after we retubed our 175's to 8"....8" is a beast.

    I joined the crowd.

    No work done on it yet, but have checked a little more and found out it's a 69' not a 67', I found a helpful group of folks on FB, put me in touch with a gentleman who hooked me up with what parts I was looking for and those parts are starting to arrive. I also located and bought an M116...

    New M561 in family

    The foam is for buoyancy, although there would likely be some insulating value to it. The tractor has a bilge pump to get rid of leakage and is single walled construction and no foam, the carrier (trailer looking thing) does not have a bilge pump and is built of a double wall with the foam...

    Will a M274 fit into a M101A2 or A3 trailer and will the tailgate close???

    Greetings, I know it's getting to be an older post and maybe you have it all worked out by now. I just got a mule @ 3 weeks ago and was wondering the same questions. I have an M101 trailer and also a Gama Goat and was considering how I would haul the mule. I settled on getting an M116 trailer...

    I joined the crowd.

    My nemesis strikes once more, ( the internet ). During another routine killing time search for green machines and other cool things on a cold winter day, I came across a local M274 Mule for sale. As usual, I kept looking, the ad stayed up day after day until the sirens song became too loud and I...

    Tailgate step!

    I doubt....just based on looking at mine that had a step on it when I bought it. Looking at pics that have shelters, it looks to me like it would bump up against the shelter when the gate is shut.....I'd do lots of measuring first. Betcha others on here know for sure tho.

    Not your regular Bobbed 6x6

    I always enjoy coming on here and seeing what guys think about doing in their free time. The talent on here is awesome on how to make it work, what not to forget, stuff like that. A while back someone wanted to bob a duce or 5 ton, then put power to a trailer I believe so it would be an...

    turn signal issues

    Thanks much Glean....good advice and kinda where I was thinking of trying next wiring wise.....hadn't thought about the bulbs being the culprit.....all I need now is some warmer weather and less wind. I've been busy tinkering on the Goat lately and been distracted off of the M715.

    turn signal issues

    So I tried the easy way out, looked in the easy to reach places like under the hood, inside the turn signal switch itself with no joy...installed a NIB solid state turn signal unit. Now I get a left turn blink just like you want, then flip to the right and I get 4 ways flashing. I'm kinda...

    Checked the grounds and to be double sure cleaned them up and retightened, nadda. Weird.......gremlins.

    turn signal issues

    Ok, advice is advice......I'll try it because what I have been doing so far doesn't work a lick. (I'm blaming it on 2020)

    NOS Heater Installation Manual

    Greeting Goat Herders......I'm finally getting after working on my Goat that has been holed up inside the garage for a couple of years. First project is installing the NOS cab heater I bought last year. I unpacked @ 100 little brown envelopes with a screw or bolt or washer in them, a couple...

    turn signal issues

    I have the newer style solid state flasher conversion on my truck. This has been an on again / off again issue for a couple years that started as a one off then started happening more and more overt a couple of years to where now its almost just not working at all. You start out and it works...

    M416 lug bolts

    Ok, I've already chewed my own butt, kicked some rocks, chewed my butt (again), gave myself a time out and forehead smacked myself a couple times. Long story short, I screwed up the wheels and lug bolts (yes, all of them) on my M416 trailer. I used 2 civilian style wheels and the original M416...

    USMC the end of the tanks

    As usual, nobody checked with me first....we had them support us a few time in various places in Iraq and was REALLY glad to have them around. I hope we don't end up regretting this decision.

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    My nephew and family have finally had enough of Colorado's leftist leaning ideals and sold everything that was tied down and bought some lake front property in Montana. He told me it was a breeze to register "anything" in Montana, the highest priced plates were $200 for more expensive vehicles...

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    I had no problem getting my 1960 M101 trailer re-registered this year; it only has a 4 digit VIN, but it was a renewal, not a first time register deal. I do know a guy that last year went to re-register his previously licensed M101 trailer and they (DOR) made him get a state issued "homemade...

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    I'd say the short answer is "not good" and "not soon".....lots of history up thru the thread on what Colo. DOR has been doing about no longer registering previously titled and licensed military vehicles. The last thing that may have helped us got slammed when the "Chi-com flu" hit and the...
