    auto hauling military trailer

    I tend to cary the M38 in the back of the M35 with the M37 on the trailer behind... Can you say, underpowered... :)

    Lusterless forest green

    Clean, why would I want to keep it clean??? :) Seiously, they tend to look a little dusty/muddy at times, but they do wash up fairly well when I get the urge.... Rust hasn't been a problem, but since the lusterless is more porrus than the higher gloss paints, I just make sure that I have...

    Lusterless forest green

    Well, can't help you with the MERDC pattern question, but I can say that the 34052 USMC Lusterless Forest Green on my vehicles (M37, M38) is actually "flat"... Only spot on either vehicle that is approaching a "satin" finish is where I've spilled a little fuel when filling them up... I don't...

    auto hauling military trailer

    Whups... Made a mistake...!!! My new trailer is actually a M1061A1... I'll post photos... My trailer is a twin axle, four wheel unit with heavy landing jacks on each corner. Rated at 5T off road. Used to haul things like the portable laundry unit... A trailer similar to mine can be...

    auto hauling military trailer

    That XM1073 looks similar to my M1076 5t four wheel flatbed. Great little trailer to use behind the M35 to haul M715/725 or M37/M43 or similar on (I like to use mine to haul back parts trucks...). Great addition is a small winch to the front for ease in loading non-op trucks. Got ramps...

    M35A2 Dumb Battery Questions - also Solargizer thread

    I've run the 6TL/6TN in both of my M35's and have had good luck with the Interstate "2nd's" out of South Carolina. Got a buddy who gets them and hauls them up to my place when he's making a road trip... I have managed to fry a couple (actually blew the top off one) and am currently running...

    Planning road trips, anyone need tires?

    Bjorn, If you do contact Berg and decide to snag some tires, please let me know... Your route to his shop goes past me so you could stop by and visit, or I might be able to snag them for you and save you a trip...

    East Coast Convoy to Aberdeen (MD) Rally

    Yeah, we always struggle with the schedule... Lots of folks hate that we miss the first day of the rally, lots of folks can't take more time off from work. Folks from the South end up taking at least two days to make the trip...etc... If you can't join in the convoy, at least stop by and say...

    East Coast Convoy to Aberdeen (MD) Rally

    We will be running the East Coast Convoy to the Aberdeen (MD) MV Rally again this year. Scheduled arrival of the convoy in Aberdeen is Thursday, May 11, 2006. Past convoys have included participants from Canada down to Florida and as far west as Arizona... We have several serial groups that...

    CAn anyone tell me what these levers do??

    I did call my CC folks one day about a year ago when I ordered to electronic gear from an outfit in California. Folks at my CC really had no clue and said that they could change my address, but could not add a second one... Since I managed to convince the folks selling the electronics to...

    CAn anyone tell me what these levers do??

    Yeah, I'm going to shoot him an email... At the very least, I want a discount when I visit his booth at Aberdeen if he attends... ;) I don't buy anything from Ebay from him since he will not ship to my office (claims that he can only ship to my home since the credit card billing address is...

    CAn anyone tell me what these levers do??

    One other thing, the lock hanging down from the dash is attached to a loop that was attached as part of the vehicle security system by the USMC. Chain that is looped through the steering wheel is secured by the lock when the truck is unattended (great idea considering the number of guys in my...

    CAn anyone tell me what these levers do??

    We have a WINNER!! G744 is correct... That is my 1953 USMC M37 with the Cummins 4BT under the hood. The photo is from my website and was taken when I was running a RangerII Overdrive between the GM specification flywheel adapter/clutch/bellhousing and the stock New Process four speed...

    Very sorry

    To be honest, the guy who owns the yard (from what Frank told me) is trying to clean up his place since the land next door got sold and is becomming a subdivision (and we all know about folks who buy a place next door to a farm, landfill, airport, etc., and then whine about the neighbors stench...

    Fort Gordon, Augusta GA, event?

    Bjorn and I had planned on convoying down last year (I was going to meet up with him as he came down through NC...) and I suspect that we would do the same this year. Collecting folks along the way would be great! lovebloodhounds: Next time that I have to visit our field office in...

    Very sorry

    The good news it that I still have a great friend... I'd hate to think how I'd feel if things had gone just a little differently at that intersection... For those of you who want to see what Frank saw when he went down to pick parts off those trucks (have tissue at hand...)...

    Any last minute tips for shoting Gillespie paint

    Try not to thin it as much as you would in the summer, try to shoot light (thin) coats, give it a lot of time to dry before you hit the next coat, don't worry if it runs here and there and you have to sand and touch up... I've shot some stuff on really cold days (yes, we get them now and...

    Fort Gordon, Augusta GA, event?

    Shoot "Doc" a line (his email is right above in his post...) and ask him how things are looking for this year. I really wanted to go to the 2005 event, and I know of several guys on this forum and in my local club (NCMVPA) who had planned on attending who ran into conflicts... If I can get...

    Wheel seal

    Well, I placed an order with Memphis Equipment on Friday for the seals and a few other items that I need for my M35... I'll let everyone know how things look/go when the parts arrive and I tear into it... Thanks for all the pointers both here and by email/PM...

    Wheel seal

    While crawling under my M35A2c yesterday (lube service time...), I noticed that I have a leaking seal on my left rear rear axle... (got that anoying drip of gear lube on the inside of the tire...) Anyone have a suggestion as to the best supplier (cost, quality of parts) for the seals...
