The MX6707 antenna is actually a vertical dipole, fed in the middle, where it screws together. The base unit is a matching network with several positions. Depending on where you set your frequency in the 30 to 80 MHz band, it will click in one of several tuning networks designed to translate the...

My read on them is that the are not in business to serve the hobby market. They are there to sell parts to logging companies and other commercial users of the old military vehicles. They expect to pay more and get a guaranteed part. They don't have time to fiddle with stuff like we do. I agree...

Dipstick oil heater I bought a heater at Carquest a couple of years ago for $25. It replaces your dipstick. I don't recall the power level, but it surely couldn't be much. Just pull out your dipstick (not a long one like in a deuce or 5T) and stuff this one down the hole. Plug in and you're...

Looking for the instructions for installing the hardtop on a M151. Most of it is pretty basic, but the installation of the tall skinny door hanger parts require some oddball parts like captive nuts, etc. If I could see a scanned copy or a pdf or something I could proceed. I'm borrowing one of...

8000 pounds or so. Runs and drives fine. Anyone going that way or can suggest a good truck load broker? Thanks.

1955. Lots of work done recently. It has the larger 251 engine in it. New exhaust manifold installed, all new (very aggressive) brakes installed, new rear springs, new brake cylinders all around, currently has much improved Ford carb and K&N filter, but have the original equipment in the shop...

The Yaesu FRG-7 has an analog VFO, as I recall. Hence, it will jiggle and wander in freq unless there is a dial lock, which I doubt. Might sound funny on rough roads too, if you're listening to ssb and the VFO coils are jiggling around. It also lacks an effective noise blanker. It might have a...

Thanks for all the help. Turns out that it will be hauled on a trailer, the way it should be!

They use 6 lugs but what is the bolt circle diameter? Will M35 wheels bolt right on or is it a different pattern? A friend is moving one and wants to put substitute wheels on it for the move. Also, it is probably a good move to remove the front driveline I'm guessing? Check fluid level in...

Looking for a wrench that has serviced the gun balancer and knows the procedure. I need a special tool for it, too. Anyone have accessories for the Abbot?

sprag is in all of them, including airshift The front end of early mil deuces were engaged by a rod coming out of the top of the transmission. When you were in forward direction, the rod would set the front sprag (there are front and back sprags in that one assembly) to engage if slippage...

There is a water leak up by the water pump. I thought it was just a bad pump and replaced it. Still leaking. In fact, last year a leak formed and I assumed it was the pump going bad, even though I had replaced it recently. Figured that they do go bad from time to time. Bought a rebuilt one from...

I'm looking for a plow for my M108 crane truck. Have one?

Still have a plow for sale? I'm up near Seattle and have a M108 deuce crane truck. Any pictures I can see? thanks.

Is there such a thing? If so,what is the adapter info? Any pictures of one out there? I have a M108 crane truck and could use a plow. Thanks.

I can't read the forums I logged in and went to the thread that we're supposed to read and there is no way out of it. Every time I try to look at a forum, it says I have to go read that special one. How do I get out of there? Thanks.

Hi. If I were you, I'd just look for a civvy 4x4 pickup, a small one at that. Doesn't sound like you have OD fever. Yet. :-) Paint it OD if you like that motif. The mil pickups are essentially civilian trucks painted green, anyway. There are other mods, but nothing directly applicable to...

Hi. I'd love to, but I'm on so many lists that my computer is about to pop. I think I have the tranny sold, now. If not, I'd really appreciate the help posting it. Thanks.

tires on a commercial deuce Military ndt tires are not legal on commercial vehicles, but not every cop knows that. The problem is that they have no commercial load rating, as it was explained to me. Solution: just put commercial tires on it and you're good to go. Ndt would wear out quickly on...

I have used the (used to be) cheap Costco tents that are 10 wide, 20 long, and too short. I raised each leg a couple of feet with PVC tubing, which was just the right size (2"). The sides don't come all the way to the ground and it looks like a pair of high water pants, but works fine. Drilled a...
