    Not MV related,but pic of the new addition to the fleet!!!

    Looks like the cultivators are setting behind it. Those B's were great for cultivating. They are easy to work on, handy around the place, and that one looks in good shape. Nice addition.

    Reactive Armor CUCV

    While passing through Georgia on the way back from the Florida Rally, we encountered this Military convoy with the ussual Hummv's and such and of course we are rubber necking. Well from the rear comes this CUCV with what appeared to have reactive armor and bullet proof windows and a roof hatch...

    Oshkosh WT 2206 plow trucks

    Out driving around and spied the tell tale outline of a Oshkosh 1970. Buried on the outback was a 1958 Oshkosh and a unkown vintage Walter being held captive the by very substance they were supposed to remove. Could not get the hoods up too much snow. Data plates say ' do not exceed 38 mph'...

    Can't get my m35 over 35 MPH

    RE: Can Jack up each axle with the truck in neutral and see if each axle will spin freely by hand to rule out a stuck brake. When you throttle in neutral up do the rpms go to its optimum (whatever a gasser would go to, I presume about 2,300). Then when going down the road will it attain it's...

    M37 - new here hiya ... need some advise please

    Ya well not to highjack this topic, but it is a wild thought and would be an option for someone who has not access to the flat head and parts such as where Abusafam is. Has anyone ever seen a slant six adapted to the m37/powerwagon?? Boy I used own several cars and trucks with them slants in...

    M35 Front Axle Seal Replacement

    The Tech Manual and the above site are very valuble. Prepare for the messy, greasey, with an overabundance of rags and your prefered cleaner.

    M35 Front Axle Seal Replacement

    Yes it is a crappy job. I had a bearing go out on one side so it needed replacement. I bit the bullet and took both sides apart and knocked it out with the long rod through from the other end. Now I know both sides seals, knuckles and bearings have been serviced. The retainer was in so hard...

    Seat bottom foam

    I got mine from a local upholster who had some special High Density foam for boat seats. It was superior to the old type, was water resistaint, and could shave it to form with a ocillating knife he had.

    M116A1 measurements?

    I had to go out for a bit anyway so I went to measure it for future reference. It is 96" with the bows. The deuce and the trailers are all stashed in there so I took a look at them all while there. Remember, thou shalt not covet thy buddy's son's pole barn....Not to be boastful...44 X 120...

    What is the differnce in a M103 and a M116A1 trailer? I have a M103 with bows. Is it the one with no bed just a frame? Is it on duals??

    M211 Project - A work in progress

    Oh boy another Michigan truck..You can get Historical Plates for it but it all depends on what you want to do and how much you can get away with. The H plate lets you drive it to parades, shows, educational events, things like that. Of course all this is loosely defined. You can always be on...

    M1010 Recovery

    Boy the interior and fire wall look preemo paint wise. And the box is not dented or rusted..Kinda wonder why they took the front clip, engine , axles, doors. I have never seen a tilt type low flat bed trailer like that but it sure looks like it comes in handy in loading.
