RE: Great deal on a back saver for your duece
I went looking online and noticed that the same crane is listed on the Northern Tool website (with thier name on it) for $79.99 and that they have the taller model mentioned in the other thread referenced in an earlier reply for $149.99. Since...
Don't know the number off the top of my head, but it is the same as on the civilian WM300 so you can go to your local autoparts place and "pretend" that you have a 1968 WM300 for instance

Or, for a much better price, just give AB Linn a call and have him send you a handfull... last time...
I have some of the interior modules from parted out PRC25 and PRC77 radios... If you know what you are missing specifically, shoot me a PM or post here and I'll dig around and check for you...
Good luck.
Saw a post on the www.dodgepowerwagon.com website forum from a guy with some new fiberglass troopseats and figured that somebody here could answer his question in a jiffy... so:
The post from the other forum:
"I got a pair of real nice looking troop seats (just the fold-down part, not the...
Looks like you found a good one to restore. Any shots of the front landing gear? My M104 is missing the landing gear and the side racks, so you are way ahead of me...
I think that brings us up to three M104's for SS members...
(PS: I know of three of them two hours from the house, but...
Don't forget to check your ground on the turn signal lever. It is gounded to the steering column by the hose clamp, so wiggle it around a bit, scrape some paint/rust off the steering column, etc...
Pick a direction with the voltmeter, at the column or at a light, and work toward the other...
Just wanted to say that I appreciate everyone's offer of assistance, but I didn't win the lot at W-P... Somebody else wanted them a lot more... I did, however, win a lot down in SC that is going to be picked up and held for me by a steelsoldiers member, so things are working out... :)
I doubt that any of the shots of my truck are detailed enough for you, but take at look at:

More recent photos of the truck (with some better, closer, angles) can be found on my M37 photo pages where I had the M35 attending some event along...
I really like my DATCON units (run them in my Cummins M37). Company is owned by the same folks who own StewartWarner and they have a product line that looks very similar (gauge face, etc) to the OEM guages in a duece. Backlit, mechanical or electric, 24 or 12 volt versions...
See the page on...
Gas can thingy is very useful to have around it you have generator, welder, heater, etc. equiped with a fuel pump that you want to feed from a jerry can.
Thanks,
Gimpyrobb, sent a reply to your PM. Kenny, I'll keep your connections in mind as well.
Pallet I am looking at has five items, each 23" X 18. 5" X 10"....
I'll let you all know how I do when the auction ends.
RE: Hmmwv
A buddy of mine sticks a carnation in the barrel of his M2HB, but otherwise doesn't worry about it driving around. Having been born and raised in VA, I can say that most everyone who sees the vehicle pictured above will assume that it belongs to an active duty unit...even though it...
Guys,
I'm looking at a pallet of stuff that GL has up for auction at Wright-Patterson (Ohio) and was wondering if anyone in the area could go by, snag it, and get it on a truck headed my way (Raleigh, NC), or hold on to it until I could arrange transportation??
I haven't bid yet, but if I can...
European's used to use a lot of yellow headlights in order to reduce glare in urban settings and for fog. At one time, all the NATO equipment in Germany and France was running yellow lights (1950's-60's). I remember that a lot of the civilain French cars in the '70's ran yellow headlights as...
Looks great :)
I decorate the M274A5 with garlands and Christmas tree lights (attached to the bed rails), the M37 (bows on the grill, mirrors, and side racks with a felt socking hangine from the tool rack), the M35A2C (bows on grill, mirrors, side racks) and M38 (bows on grill and mirror arms...
It's all I can do to just get my photos and other info onto my own website... If you want to look at my stuff, it's all there... Maybee when I retire, I'll have some time to post them here... :)
I have a M104 manual at the house (operators/maintenance) that I picked up off of Ebay for reasonable money from a book dealer... I'll check tonight to see what the number on it is...
Dan Parmley has the dataplates for them if you need them...
I use Castrol AgriMax 15w40. Runs a buck less per gallon at the local Agri-Supply than Rotella, and meets all the usual API/MIL/Manufacturer specs that the rest of the diesel multi-weights do.
Castrol claims that it has an additive package that is better for periods of hard use followed by...
