    Erickson sky crane

    I got to fly in one of those back in 91......they were moving tank turrets out to a range to use as targets and I covered the event for our post fishwrapper. The Crew Chief was nice enough to allow me to operate the winch they used to move the turrets. A truly awesome machine....some odd...

    Official 2012 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    Clinto, Thank you for doing the heavy lifting for the Hardball Convoy. I had planned to hit the ground running to make the connections. All I may do now is see if we can get some media coverage for the lunch event and some publicity for Heavy. To anyone concerned about finances and having...

    I would think that if we put them in a "square head" (pan that goes above the oven) we could parch them quite well.

    Looking to buy surplus Gen. info wanted

    Military generators are designed for providing power without worrying about fuel consumption. The military has plenty of it....we don't. I bought a 10K mounted on a trailer and was using it to run two drills while I was building a barn. It sucked the bottom out of the fuel tank and I...

    New from Hot Springs, AR

    Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Accademy.:cookoo: The CUCV series of vehicles will test your masochistic streak. I hated them when I had to drive them in the Army and my opinion hasn't mellowed. Good luck with that.:roll:

    M105 landing gear seized

    The first time you pinch the crap out of one of your apendages you will change your mind. Ask me how I know. If you still are determined to fix that wretched invention of the devil you can heat it up and melt a candle (made of parrifin, not beeswax) and let the heat suck the melted wax up...

    M105 landing gear seized

    The best way to fix that abomination is to replace it with one of the crank up kind. That particular outfit was designed by an idiot in cahoots with a moron.

    Attention Advance Party.....remember that the MKT needs plenty of space since there are two trucks and trailers. Also.............I am pulling a 32 foot trailer with a 31 foot truck (M927) using a converter dolly. I will not be able to back up more that a few feet. Please make sure there is an...

    totally stumped on starting issue.

    Did you check the fuel shut off? If the engine is turning over fast but not starting it sounds like a lack of fuel.

    2012 Ga Rally parts wanted/for sale/swap thread

    I will have about 20 sheets of laminated DOT approved glass. I don't want to bring any of it home so deals will be made. I have a decent set of slave cables (has a bare spot) that the first 100 bucks (or interesting trade)will get. I also have a bunch of stainless steel stuff that came out...

    deuce swift water crossing stats.

    Another thing you have to consider is wash outs.....in swift flood water the roadbed may have eroded or been cut through completely.....you drive off in the shallow water and all of a sudden your front end drops off in a deep cut.....very bad juju. When I was at Fort Campbell many years ago we...
