    North Carolina MV RALLY April 6th, 7th,& 8th 2012

    Easiest way is to post here, but you should also send me a PM just to make sure that I have you on the list if you don't hear back from me directly... :) So, post, and then PM me if you don't here from me in a day or two... Thanks,

    North Carolina MV RALLY April 6th, 7th,& 8th 2012

    So far, it looks as if only one person has an issue with the menu as posted.... So, I'm leaning toward keeping it as posted. As Mike has mentioned, there is a lot of variety in dogs (price and content), so you can expect to see a pretty decent quality dog although I'm not going to be super...

    North Carolina MV RALLY April 6th, 7th,& 8th 2012

    Food thoughts... :) I've been way too busy at work, but here are some thoughts I have for a menu/pricing. I'll firm this up depending on response. As mentioned earlier, the more who sign up, the better I can do on pricing (within reason). I can also tweak the menu if folks have food...

    M43b1

    I've used Then and Now for pump rebuilds on a pair of M38's ('51 and a '52) that I have and will most likely send them the pump for the XM708 (I am running a civilian pump on it right now as I debug things...). Looking forward to hearing what you think of this rebuild.

    FNG questions re: fluids and grease

    I'm a big fan of Rotella in my diesels...but I just use a low buck 10-30 in the M37 varients I have that are still stock. I just change it every year... GL5 is ok as long as it has the MT1 rating as well (safe for yellow metal). I find that I can still purchase 90wt GL1 at my local...

    North Carolina MV RALLY April 6th, 7th,& 8th 2012

    I'll see if I can convince the folks to let me have the weekend off... :) I usually am the "head egg hider" for the hunt on the front lawn at the homeplace... That said, I'll likely drive down on Friday morning from Raleigh in something green...most likely with something else on the towbar...

    5 ton fuel tank selector valve cleaning/rebuild

    Sigh... Now that everything has been explained in detail (along with photos), I have no excuse to not go out and fix the valve on the dump and wrecker... Perhaps I can talk AMGeneral into making a house call since I also need to "debirdcage" the cable on the rear winch of the wrecker...

    M818 front right lug nut part #?

    The Budd number for them is 37888 right side (right hand thread) and 37889 left (left hand thread) using the table that I have on my website (the info listed is for a M37, but the M37 used the same lugnuts that you find on a M35 or M88, etc. Note: The Lug Nuts are 3/4"-16 thread. Use a one...

    Paint for my M101A1????????

    If you mix one part of Rust Oleum Hunter Green with one part Leather Brown, you will get a color that is a dead on match to 24087 (early seventies version)... I've painted several trailers this way and have been very pleased (no chips/facing in eight or so years, except from dragging stuff out...

    M35a3 title problem in nc.

    It's a pretty simple process that actually is explained on the DMV's website... If you're still having issues, send me a PM (or search for some of my previous posts about obtaining a title in NC) and I'll walk you through the process.

    Tube needed for 900x16

    I used to use International Tire and Tube in Texas, but they seem to have disapeared... :( I noticed that my local Agri-Supply has bias ply 900x16 tubes in stock, I assume that the Southern States Co-Op (I got my 900x16 Grip Spurs there) does as well... I have several good, used, 900x16...

    2011 Graves Mountain Virginia Rally - Labor Day Weekend

    I didn't take many photos (never got out on the trails myself, too much other stuff to take care of during the weekend. I did get tot take the XM708 around the orchard roads and up the highway some though... I've got some silt in the fuel tank so I need to install another filter in-line before...

    2011 Graves Mountain Virginia Rally - Labor Day Weekend

    Need Trans of Jeep Windshield from NC-NY

    Hate I didn't see this earlier... One of the guys comming to the VA rally this weekend is from NJ and we could have gotten it hauled back at least that far... Unless we can talk Neil or Brandon into comming up to the rally since it's now too late to get it to me for a ride up since I'm headed...

    Newbie from NoVA

    If you can't make it down for the entire weekend (we understand, it is a busy time), drive on down for a few hours... Drop by on Saturday night and join us for BBQ and conversation... You don't have to bring your MV... Long term: We have this event every year on the same weekend, at...

    M37 Recovery

    I use four chains, cross them (right front of truck to left front of trailer, etc.). I don't use the little tab half way up the frame (located sorta between the cab and bed), but use the lifting shackles... A DMV issue (at least in my neighborhood) is to not have chains attach at the same...

    Sandblaster reccomendation

    If you can hold off until you come to Raleigh, I'll show you both of my sandblasters and will tell you the pros and cons of each and why I invested the way I did... :) One is a blast cabinet, the other is a pressure pot. Neither was very expensive... My gas powered Ingersoll-Rand unit came...

    2011 Graves Mountain Virginia Rally - Labor Day Weekend

    The trailrides and rally are almost here :) I'll be on site Wednesday night so that I can put up signage and open some gates before folks start to roll in on Thursday. Even though the website has a registration deadline on it, you can still drop in and register at the gate (although we won't...
