The tug is prob the most likely to get immediate attention.
It seems to have all of its key components and good tires.
If we get it running and get a good layer of chert on the Motor Pool so it can't dig in we will have a good vehicle to move things around with.
I just got a large air...
I have a deuce without a bed on it that I will prob just swap the tank, and necessary stuff to run it, onto it.
The carcass will be scrapped for parts.
It is almost as rusty as FT's wrecker.:roll:
Late yesterday (July 29th) Capt. and Woody rolled into my driveway (with only minor damage to infastructure and livestock) loaded with more of my MV hoard.
They delivered "Hank the Tank" my M49 fuel truck, my diesel fired shower unit and FreightTrains' tug tractor (of all his stuff out there I...
Me and FreightTrain will SP the Motor Pool about dark-thirty Friday morning and head north at a high rate of fuel consumption. I have a vendor space reserved and will have some NOS 5 ton multi-fuel fuel tanks, windshield sized DOT approved pieces of laminated glass, NATO slave plug adaptors and...
Great minds indeed do think alike......I have thought about the SEMI-HEMMT using the deuce running gear....same idea with the rear suspensions back to back.....it would definately have to have power steering.
Also on my mind was using a using a 24 valve Cummins with an automatic and a HEMMET...
Hey D,
If you are crazy then you are no crazier than the rest of us.
Hope for the best prepare for the worst has always been my motto.
By the way...I have a cherry M109 that would make a jam up camper.
Hardtop, heater, very good runner, less than 10k on the clock.
It prob spent most of...
I will have sheets of laminated glass ( can be cut to fit most windows), NOS multi-fuel 5 ton fuel tanks, the ever popular NATO Slave adaptor plug and some misc stuff.
Goats were supposed to float......getting them to float was another issue.
Most vehicles that were designed to float and drive on hardball did neither well.
When I was at Fort Benning my unit used to have to take a M916 and lowboy out to Victory Pond and wait for Bradleys to sink while doing...
The last time I had a grid square on Murphy he was in the Dodge with Capt and Woody when lighting hit the truck.....just a quirk that my tanker was on his trailer.
The flood gates are open now because the Army Reserve and National Guard are replacing the deuces and 800 series with the new LMTV's.
Once the big units have sent their trucks through DRMO and the supply tightens up you will see prices go way up.
If I had 100 grand to invest I'd buy deuces and...
I had to call my Congressman on a VA related matter the other day...while I had the aide on the phone I vented my spleen on the whole GL debacle.
She promised to bring it to Congressman Rodgers attention.
As gooberment contractors GL falls under congressional oversight.
If enough people bring...
I am hoping to bring the M275 and my big van trailer......and the inflatable shelter (not to be confused with FreightTrain's blow up girlfriend).
Is anyone planning to bring a 10K or better genny? If anybody does I will pony up for fuel to help run it. Real diesel....not Wreckerman's Home Brew...
Why would you want to chain up a poor old tire.
That is too cruel.
Where the 'ell is Hazel Green.....if you can get them to me I'll haul them to the GA rally for free.....you collect the money.
If you are unfamiliar with the GA rally you need to do a search and check it out......most of us in NE...
