Elmo was out cruisin in the tall grass when the group photo was taken... Speaking of the little guy, here's a photo of him enjoying the fresh air earlier in the day...

It's an old truck stop on a side road... Old enough to not have a line of shiny pumps under a canopy with a lot of neon... Just a couple pumps out front where you can pull in, fuel, and pay... If you really want to go eyeball it yourself, go to Clinton, NJ...

The parts number for the belt is located on my website on the part cross page if you want to get it at a local store... http://www.garbee.net/~cabell/PartsCross.PDF Gates B52 is the number that I have... It may need to be recrossed to a newer number or to one that your store has, but they can...

The road to the promised land... :)

Run it in a parade with the canvas on or off depending on how it was the day before... Why work any harder than you have to?? Seriously, I've been known to run with the canvas off and the bows either in place or racked up front in order to allow vets to ride in it during the parade (gives...

Call me on Monday at my work number (PM me for it if you can't find it using Google...) and I'll tell you how to easily resolve this without getting GL into trouble, involving a lawyer, or any other nastyness... I work for DOT and know the folks who run the tag and title division, and the...

Often, when I talk to George, he talks me into using a "non-spec" part on one of my five tons since he knows that I want to work them, and that no-one would ever know that I used a civilian part unless they really knew the truck and went underneath to look... He has saved me a lot of money...

I'm not selling tires at this point (have none in stock), but my usual "go to" place for these tires is my local Agricultural Co-Op (Southern States in Madison, VA to be specific) since they stock 900x16 tires... I have lots of info on various tires that folks have mounted on the stock M37 rim...

I use a heavy duty electric wiper setup in mine. The writeup showing how to do it (parts numbers may be out of date, but any good shop should be able to cross them to current numbers) is located at: Electric Wipers I used the same basic setup that Dan Pinkham used on his M37 that he wrote up...

Camping in the the big field (where we camp for the rally) is $10/person/day. We'll have the showers on and the pool is open... :) Fireworks on the 4th start around nine (dark).

I have a few folks that I'll email since they are not on this site... :) I'll be on site Friday afternoon through the Bluegrass festival that occurs the following week (running the concession/shower facility in the camping field...). Remember, my cell phone does not work at Graves (none do)...

Isn't that a bummer... I had a rear support leg for sale at the Aberdeen rally that almost no-one looked at (I was using it to hold down some canvas on the display table...). It is shippable though...

Wish I could help you, but mine is currently without fenders and that bracket... Keep me in mind if you do have some made up (although I do have two folks who want to buy it as it is...).

I had a great time. I didn't get to walk around and visit or look for stuff as much as I would have liked or have in some years, but I wasn't actually looking for any parts in particular this year so that may have worked out for the best. I have money in the pocket and usually, I am broke...

We had a serial unit a couple of years ago that arrived on Wednesday... It was the green one from PA... I'd like to arrive on Wednesday, but have always scheduled the yellow serial (from the south) to arrive on Thursday afternoon in part since I can't get off work earlier in the week, in...

If you go and do a search (I know, I dislike doing it myself), you'll find some posts that I have made concering the NC rules. You can also figure it out by going to the NCDMV website... but that only helps if you are a resident of North Carolina. In short, a North Carolina driver can get...

I have had Gillespie (RAPCO) paint at Aberdeen several times in the past. I almost organized another group purchase this year (I get Mark to ship it by truck to my office on a regular basis and save on hazmat and shipping cost) for delivery at the show, but I've been too busy to do so...

We had a Serial Group in the East Coast Convoy a couple of years ago from PA. It was the Green Serial. The routes posted are for the groups that have signed up already... It would be great if we could resurect the Serial from PA. Shoot me a PM and we can add it to the website... For that...

As mentioned... I can't make it this year... :( I have a new job (still with the same folks, but doing different things) and I have not been able to convince the new boss that I need to take the time off from work... So, the MKT and XM813 will be sitting in the yard dreaming of 2012...

Hmmm, I have a list somewhere of what I put on the truck... :) The XM813 is half loaded with misc truck parts for stuff ranging from M715, to M211's to M915's... Filters, accelerator cables, brake parts, fuel parts, electrical stuff, paint, manuals, etc. I have a few things on the truck...
