No trouble, Frank. It is an amazing photo and story. Thanks for bringing it to our attention and for your service. BR, Dan

It looks like Bjorn is only about 10 miles away from the home base of the Kansas City MVPA affiliate chapter "Hell on Wheels." Those folks may be able to help. The contact info that I have is: Kansas City "Hell on Wheels" Chapter - MVPA 604 North Walker Lane Olathe, Kansas 66061 John...

His name was Baldomero Lopez. You can read more about him here: http://www.sptimes.com/2003/07/22/Korea/The_hero_from_Hillsbo.shtml BR, Dan

Congrats Clinto - Nice ride! Regarding dressing up paint... Any reason to not use a 50/50 ATF+kerosene bath on it. I do it a couple of times a year to my HT and everyone raves about the "new paint job." Note: it does *not* attract babes. People in white short seem to be compelled to sit on...

That is great... I love it!

My wife had wanted me to remove three very large shrubs along side our house. They were about 50 years old and the largest was about 10 feet across. I thought about how I was going to do it for a while but the M62 method won out. I chained the bases and yanked them straight out of the ground...

I am in Indiana, USA. There is actually a state law that says that historic military vehicles do no not need tags - but I have my halftrack and M62 plated as antiques ($32/year/vehicle) so that I don't have to stop for a chat with a police officer every 1000 yards. I doubt that they would...

I was thinking that a rack that cradles the tires (like those hydraulic jobs on the back of light duty wreckers) attached to the back of a mil wrecker and lifted with the retracted/supported boom might work. Anyone have any throughts on this?

Very nice indeed!

2 - 2 1/2 mpg in a gas M62. I lose a bt when pulling a trailer. Unfortunately - I don't have any secrets to improving upon it - other than paying particular attention to the ignition system. Dan

Hi all - I have an M62 with a 6602. I agree with the flat tire comment. I can get to the rated 52mph with no big difficulties, even with 19000lbs on the pintle hook. I can't feel what's back there, either. It's a little eerie, actually. Tuned I can approach the promised 2.75mpg. Loaded and...

Is the description on that right - or the picture? I thought that the 11-ton M989 looked like the one here: http://www.primeportal.net/hemtt/m989a1_walk.htm I can't believe that the M989 to M989A1 mod was that significant. Dan

Thanks, mangus580, I'd like to see that if it's not too much trouble. Dan

I'll look it up. Thanks!

That sort of stuff is my approach, too. That ladder looks like it could be perfect for getting people in and out of the back, too. I wish I had something better for when I give WWII vets rides. Dan

If santa is reading, here is my highly-difficult-to-move-around wishlist: I would love a M8 or M20. An LVT or a armored dragon wagon would also make me smile. And a T34... oh my. Not that I am not happy with my toys, one of those would just add a little spring to my step. I am curious...

all I want is two in a row!

5th time a charm? ...I think maybe!

..and again...
