. . I assume a parachute is a military vehicle. I found an interesting Google Maps street view showing a 2014 USMC parachute training exercise near Okinawa. I found this after reading a CNN article about 9,900+ acres of US military base land the departing administration is giving away. As...

I got a British vehicle and it does this all the time.

I burned 5 off. Babysit'd them a couple hours using a garden hose to keep the steel cool. Worked good. Suggest you do it at night when the wind is favorable. Read they did this in VN. I had a guy do a couple. He had a 250 ton press with a huge table of maybe 6 or 8" think steel. His trade was...

My m35a2 was like that when I got (~10y ago). Dry master w/no leaks. I added fluid and a decent pedal came right back. Since then I have bleed it and done the major adj. Brakes function has always been really nice. Re shoe'd the 5t a few years ago (6?). Master was dry this spring, pedal was...

5/8" Royalex (Kells schooled me) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royalex "The last sheets of Royalex were shipped from the factory in December, 2013. Production will be shut down in April 2014. If another manufacturer does not emerge, existing Royalex canoes in retail outlets may be sold...

Looks like a third and fourth set are in there too, on page 211. A Vehicle O.V.E., four hand tools (I assume O.V.E. stands for On-Vehicle Equipment) and a Vehicle, Basic set.

Cadillac Gage's 101927 part manual lists a basic Vehicle Deluxe tool set and a larger Mechanics set. For reasons unknown neither include bottle openers or rolling papers.

20 years ago my friend was doing the crank on his 1969 427 Vette. He thought he had soft bolts and asked me to take a look. The thread were visibly stretched silly. I put my beam type on his Snap-on click type. Turns out his was way off. By comparing lower #'s we est. he was doing over 170...

Make sure the spline dia and count is correct. I found one like that on ebay, nos, OD green plastic (no paint), it was the 2" smaller than deuce wheel (maybe 20?, same dia a 5 ton/ v100). Still had the mold release powder... Same horn. MFG name on back. Spline was different, and just by a...

My pal Rob used to enjoy driving my M35A2 in the local Memorial Day parades. He has since moved to St. Charles, Mo. If anyone has more than one vehicle and is in need of a driver I'm sure Rob would be happy to do it. I have know Rob since high school. If interested give him a call, or email me...

From link above, post 102- "In the NHC250 era, some applications needed a way to supply more air to the engine to help eliminate black smoke problems, especially in higher altitudes and Cummins developed a turbocharger 'smoke kit'. The kit included all the components required to install the...

Mine must have been rusted up, and probably more than once. I found .040" taper in the STD bore on cyl 4. That is a lot and does not include piston wear. Someone just kept honing it. A new .040 over piston fit at the top of the old cyl. The water clearly came down the exhaust stack then wicked...

I read most of the old SA200's used the same 4 cyl flat head Continental F162/ F163 as my 1957 Ingersoll Rand R125 Gyro flow air compressor. I bored mine .040" and keep a folder with tech stuff. I have a PDF engine repair manual (might be the link below). It can be downloaded free. I can send it...

5 ton wheels bolted together

My neighbor Glen passed away maybe 20y ago. Glen was a CB in WWII. He said that while in Anzio he was using a bulldozer to push stuff, including boxcars, into the water, to make a dock. The ground gave way and the dozer slid into the bay. They pushed more stuff over the top using it as fill...

EGT rise as rpm drop (boost drops when rpm drops too). The relationship is very linear and predictable. My LD got a D and was turned DOWN to ~15psi . Says a lot about how much fuel was being wasted. At 15psi my 1971 M35A2 (LD/ White/ turbo) is almost incapable of hurting itself. This applies no...

1969 F350. Named after an ex girlfriend of long ago.Debbie the dump tuck- dirty, unreliable, countless strange men inside.. but good for dumping.
