KID tracked vehicle. Very cool machine. I used to have an early M29 Weasel, but sold it due to a small yard and aggressive zoning dept. I always wanted a KID

Round two
Ok Warwag, here's your chance: This Vietnam era vehicle had twice as many tires as engine cylinders, and was all wheel drive. It had a seating capacity of two. What is it? Your sign is on the line.
Man that was fast!
Jatonka has hit the nail on the head.... I had a tight axle universal joint with no grease fittings. I hit it with some Kroil, and also gave it a few taps with a hammer. It loosened up, and gave me no problems after that. It really did feel like suspension or steering...
Unusual military bike
OK, you hit my soft spot...military bikes. The most recognizable is the WWII Harley WLA. If you can scare up a frame and a fork, (The most expensive parts) there are a lot of surplus engines out there still, as well as plenty of parts. Anything scarce is now reproduced...
Not on my M1008, but my old Ford F150 4x4. I was driving along, and came to a curve in the road. I went to turn, and it felt like my steering got stuck and the truck wanted to keep going straight. Then, it felt like something 'let go' and the truck turned into the curve. It really felt like a...
I was driving to a woodworker supply place Monday night 11-29-2010, and on Rte 84 in Hartford CT in the westbound lane was a tractor-trailer with a flatbed trailer, hauling a nice looking M1009. Anybody on here own it? I took it as a sign..... I have been wanting an M1009, and thinking about...
Chasing problems
I once bought a Russian (Ukraine actually) sidecar rig from a guy who had nothing but problems with it. I got it to run...not great, but running. EVERY ride I took was under a half hour, and after EVERY ride, it required work, fixing what I call minor issues. Some times it...
I have a strange click in my dash, and it sounds like a relay. Today I started the truck, and drove around the hay field, listening to it click (Bumps seem to aggravate it, smooth road gives no click). I reached under the dash and pulled out one relay at a time, test drove it, and still had a...
Replaced seat
My M1008 had nice seat covering, but the foam was shot. The truck was miserable to drive...any bump resulted in my seat bottoming out on the truck seat frame. Very uncomfortable! I found a really nice seat at a flea market (Civilian black, but decent cover and firm foam). I...
Only kidding!
Thanks for the info, and you are right that I am only kidding. I would never try anything shady like switching numbers on an item. Somebody always gets burned when that happens. Some try it though. I bid on a Civil War sword at an auction once, won the bid, and when I went to...
