In NC, the DMV uses the same tag renewal form for everyone (I suspect most states do this as it saves a lot of money...) so you get a blank for the DOT number even on those registrations that don't need one. Every one has instructions on the back forwalk in, mail in, and online renewal (and a...

I'll post up about this in a seperate thread when I get some more details (and will PM you). Meanwhile, the parade starts at 10:00AM on Nov. 10 and bassically runs up Fayetteville Street through downtown and circles the Capitol Square. We then set up on the Square for the speaches and...

RE: Swing Up seat mount. Ace is right again... Go to my website if you want to see photos of the complete jump seat setup... Early model M37's had the jump seat, B1 models did not. Dimensions for the troop seat wood given on my website reflect this. The pieces pictured are part of...

The image in my mind (no photo to go with it, just a report from the guys who did it...), is of Gimpy hauling my M817 from the GL lot to a remote storage site using his M109... They said it was a tad slow and smoky going up some of the hills... :)

RE: Re: RE: update Glad that this was bumped back up... I have to turn in dates for the beach house in a couple of weeks and have been discussing who gets it when... :) Anybody have a serious preference for dates in September 2008??

About the best deal that I found on shipping was from Mark at Rapco who will palletize and send it by truck if you purchase three cases (or more)... I've set up some group buys in the past with some of the guys near me in order to get the quantity needed and total shipping was less than what...

Just a minor point of correction: The form that you fill out for GL in order to obtain an SF97 DOES NOT have to be signed by a Law Enforcement Official, you can sign it yourself... To quote from the form on GL's website: "To comply with GL’s Terms and Conditions, I am attaching information...

Guys, my EUC for a MKT85 (kitchen trailer) came though on Friday so I've not got fourteen business days to get it off the yard at PA, Cumberland, Mechanicsburg... Anyone going by that could snag it and hold it for me until I can get up from NC? Or, if that doesn't work, anybody have anything...

The Spicer manual suggests several approaches from pushing/pulling on the joint to removing the u-joint and popping the cap off... I tend to grease them, and if I notice that one didn't pass grease, then I do some driving and hit it again very soon... With the exception of the five ton, my...

I'm going by memory (I'm at the office, my trailers are at home...), but the height of th sides are different, so at the very least you'd have to trim the M105 side posts. In addition, the M101 has rear gates so the uprights on the back corners have hinges instead of "hooks", also you need the...

In another post (reply to one from Cranetruck) that I made a while back (I'll dig around and will see if I can find it), I posted the relationship between the Milspec and the API ratings for OE and GO... To be perfectly safe, you want your GL5 to also have the MT1 rating in order to ensure that...

You're right about the torque advantage of standing on a Budd bar, but sometimes, I just doesn't compare to having a 1" gun... :) I shredded a tire on the M817 last week and spent an hour jumping up and down on the Budd bar trying to get the last two lugnuts off (other eight came loose with...

RE: Re: RE: U joint lubrication secrets??? You might also find the "10 series" manual helpful (it has better photographs...) as it is a little better organized... and has a lube chart including intervals and grease recomendations. See: http://www2.dana.com/pdf/DSSM-3264.PDF

RE: Re: RE: U joint lubrication secrets??? Smitty is correct... To quote from the Spicer manual: "Spicer replacement universal joint kits contain only enough grease to provide needle bearing protection during storage. It is therefore necessary to completely lubricate each journal cross and...

If you do go with an electric pump (I'd check first to see if that new filter was clogged...) make sure that you get a low pressure model or instal a regulator. It's real easy to get too much pump and then flood out the carb... I think that you are looking for 4-5psi, but I will verify.

If you find the metal hardware, I have the dimensions for all the wood pieces on my website... www.garbee.net/~cabell -- look on the index for "bedwood"

Great to see the duece hauling a load of scouts. :) Did you get the duece from Outdoorbum?? My introduction to Power Wagons was getting to drive one at Scout Camp back in the day (Camp Powhatan, Blue Ridge Mountains Council, VA). I've been bitten by the Power Wagon/MV bug ever since...

The olive-drab website also has a listing of all the M series numbers and a diagram and number/letter list for the circuits in the headlight switch and the solid state flasher unit...

Convoy light switch goes on a little L bracket affixed to the bottom edge of the dash so that it hangs down under the edge. Wire from the switch goes to a t-plug that is inserted into the harness feed to the headlight dimmer switch at the dimmer so that the convoy light only operates when the...

Re: water tank I was paid six cents a pound last week for a load of old scrap M37 frames, drums, engines, etc. that I hauled over to the local yard in Raleigh, NC, in the back of my M817...
