    Wood species for racks

    I used some white oak that I salvaged from a big shipping crate to replace one of the bows on the M927. I wore out a table saw blade on it.....that crap was harder than Chinese arithmatic.

    M813's still in use?

    New equipment is issued to units according to their mission priority. There are some M101 trailers up for sale on an unmentioned gooberment surplus sale site that are dated 1954.....those trailers are older than I am.

    Number of FMTVs in private hands?

    There have been several pass through GL but most of them had severe damage to them. I have only seen one or two go out the gate in decent condition. I think Stewart Stevenson Diesel was selling a civilian version at one time.

    Respect in Holland Michigan

    RIP Gunny, all gave some, some gave all. Ref the misguded church (and I use the term in the broadest sense). The last time they threatened to protest a military funeral they were "no shows".....me thinks they are getting the message that their behavior will not be tolerated. I aknowlege...

    Laundry trailer

    If you strip all the crap off the deck you have a pretty decent tag trailer that will carry a Bobcat or other small piece of equipment.

    Griffin Industries

    A few years ago I had a conversation with a guy from Griffin about running their recovery trucks on Waste Vegie Oil....at that time the party line was that there was more money in selling the recovered grease to the animal feed industry rather than altenative fuel. Looks like they changed...

    Who Bought Those Oshkosh MK-48s???

    Ron and I have made it back from another successfull mission to get the MK48's assembled and loaded for our brother MV addicts. We are trying to work a deal with GL so that if we have enough clients we can go down the first week of September to do another load out mission. Since all of the...

    M931 highway speeds?

    The "sweet spot" for my M927 is 52MPH at around 1700 RPM.......on flat ground she cruises good but any big hill will pull her down pretty quick when loaded.

    New Guy in Dayton, OH Looking for local MV Guys

    Watch out for that Gimpyrob guy........he ain't right.:cookoo: We have photo evidence that he molested a marsupial during a drunken dubaunch at a gathering of similarly addicted hedonists in the backwoods of Georgia. Squeal Like a Pig - YouTube

    M931 highway speeds?

    The M931/M932 5 tons are not road tractors....they are for pulling heavy loads across rough terrain at slow speed while being driven by mostly inexperienced drivers. The Army used the M915's for hauling cargo on improved roads at highway speeds. The 250 Cummins or the 8.3 are both low power...
