In my “Scout days” I had been in many situations where I could make no further progress up hill or down hill. Using the ‘gear that got me there,’ in reverse, was the only way out….backtrack. Maybe I found a solution that does not have a problem for 923A2’s IF DRIVEN WITH A HIGH DEGREE OF...

"... I drive like I have some sense. I know the t-case is weak in low reverse and I take that into account...." Yeah! me too! I drove my '72 Scout thousands of miles off road over some pretty rough terrain. I never broke anything. Some of these numbskulls that break expensive components on a...

NOBODY said anything about the outer hub being cast al. If I recall correctly, the turn/switch gizmo on my AVM hubs for my '72 Scout was cast al. The reference was IF (BIG IF) the guy needs a good al foundry, I know a top notch foundryman. BTW and FYI Zinc-Alum. (ZA) is extremely strong and...

I thought I had lost my mind and my reading ability when I read in the TM for my 923A2 that you can't back up in low range. Maybe "can't" is too strong; you just risk your fortune to do so. Citations from the TM: 1-17f/1-34 and 3-4/3-9 and 2-10/2-87 WHEN would one NEED to back up in LOW...

YIKES! HTH did I go from 'Private' to 'Corporal' in one afternoon?????

JT, how'bout 3-d printing some demo parts to sign up guys here on SS? They could see what their ESCROWED $$$ would be purchasing. Sell "Delivery positions"....I will take two.

JT, Try these guys in longmont, Colorado. They have done some very limited production for me. http://www.westernfoundries.com/Products.html If you need an alum foundry let me know. I also have a pal who is considered the "Guru of casting" and does work for some weirdo organization in...

I did NOT say I wanted a "premium" price. I said PRICE (alone) is not everything. There is nothing more expensive than CRAPPY parts. Get stuck in the WAY-outback and see how much a tow costs for a 23,000 Lb vehicle.(IF you can get a tow.) To be more clear; I am in for two sets IF they are high...

I would take two sets AFTER they are PROVEN. Price is not everything. There is NOTHING worse than a critical component failure at a critical time.

saddamsnightmare said: "...And lastly, they have no place in civilian hands here in America, historic or not, they are a threat in their continued existence...." HUH? Sounds strangely like the mantra of gun grabbers. Oooommmmm evil hardware, Ooooommm evil hardware. Ooommm (text representation...

Because "naughty" Patriots that Janet Napolitano catorgized as "THREATS" after WE answered our countries call, AND RETURNED ALIVE AND HEALTHY, might get our hands on them. The GESTAPO does NOT want we Patriots to have the same goodies they have! BTW, this is NOT a political statement! This is...

GL has been terrific in accomodating my self-inflicted logistical problems (SILP). If I could find SAFE storage for a bit that would take some of the scheduling pressure off my SILP Where did the post to "patracy" I just made seconds ago vanist to? It outlined the 'plan of the hour' hahah

The shipping quotes were more than what I paid for the trailer. Since this post first hit, my brother and I have acquired a 923A2 on a 'halvie' deal then, I bought two yesterday in Sparta. As of this second "The Plan" (you know how plans work out sometimes) Is my bro picks up his truck drives it...

Cart before the horse! Just bought a 7.5 ton, XM-1073 trailer...and NO HORSE to pull it! Any recomendations to transport to DENVER, COLORADO from COLUMBUS, OHIO would be VERY welcome. I tried U-Ship and was surprised to find quotes higher than the amount I PAID FOR THE TRAILER! Size and...
