I've been trying to lay down some unscripted videos but it's tough. With the human brain having the ability to understand hundreds of words per minute, the delivery speed, pitch, tone, inflection, everything needs to click to pass the approval of many. You'll never please all the critics...
Hey, you're new here! Did someone pour you a beverage and show you where the fridge is? Welcome aboard, the guys with the food trays will show up soon.
Troubleshooting after all that work would cause a fella to drink so let's hope you're almost there. I pulled starters and replaced them when I...
I like planes.......Is it a new Texan? The Texan 6

You spotted that with the potatoe cam photo? That's some soils skills. It's mostly native grey soils on the hill tops and 4' of black sedge peat and organics in the valleys. I sneak the odd bucket of black out of the valleys when I can and added a bit today. From green Mv's and golden sands to...
I had a camera battery go bad so I missed some opportunity for video but I got a feeling we'll get some yet. Meanwhile, imagine the sound with the disk on the back of the 1950 Harry Ferguson cultivating past MV's. We're struggling with the 3-point hitch trying to get it to lift but I followed...
Thanks for getting that pic up USMC. I wasn't sure you kids down south had the same punch marks down there and you don't. I'll get pics up but we're 9 digits starting with 1135XXXXX
You boys stamped M135 right in the frame then added the digits behind .....XXXXX
Sooooo.....when you register...
I didn't have a lot of video time but I grabbed a minute of pure 50's for our ears.
The G749 Farm was abuzz working under our very own Covid Response and Awareness Program Systems. That's right, we got the C.R.A.P. S. at the farm.
Getting signed up early means I'll be the first one going to...
Your first post and you have my favorite early, early Deuce....a 1951? Welcome aboard and I hope you can share some pictures. USMC-008 has an early serial number but we're always looking for the "Earliest", early deuce. Would you mind sharing the last digits of the stamped number? It should read...
I like the big wheel look and miss my 1010 adventures. Your truck looks like an M1010 should look after service. Never sell it and get a deuce to keep it company or you'll write sad stories. Your truck has a Great story from start to finish, thanks for updating.
We put this one back to parade...
Grabbing some video is always a good way to remember an old truck before it's gone. What sucks is I didn't come down and grab some video....or get to drive it....or squirt some water. lol. We'll get our Jellybean set up one day and everyone can come up for a squirt, ......meanwhile.
The things they couldn't tell you because we might find out why we don't have any spare tailgates laying around. To those who served, saved fuel by hauling your spares and helping the MVironment, thank you.
Gunfreak started this thread almost ten years ago. Let's fill it up. Thank's Gunfreak.
There are too many guys to thank them all so if you see your photo, Thank you. Thanks to DM on CMV for letting us get it together in one spot. To all that serve, Thank you. Enjoy the history.
This project sure took off. The M211 is getting the 2007 Duramax and the good lad that bought it is off to a running start. I don't mean it's running, I mean he must be running to get this far. We named this truck More when it came to the G749 farm in a 3 truck deal with Larry and Curly. It had...
What a lucky truck. With that list you gave out most folks would have parked it in a field. When I saw the first picture I thought the hood looked straight and that'd be enough for me to drag it home. Another truck with a chance to haul humans, nice work.
What did you do for the engine? The...
Is there a Prairie civilian equivalent to that? I'm guessing that's the stuff West coast hippies use in their pottery classes or on their ferries?
I tried finding the seal that would rot down and cause spline seep but this thing is so full of holes it's surprising there's oil in there.
