    M105A2 crank up landing leg question

    I also thought of a jack stand. But, as things would have it, my larger 7 ton military jack stands are not here. I appreciate your suggestion.

    M105A2 crank up landing leg question

    GUYFANG, as you know, there are four bolts that hold the leg onto the bracket that lowers it. I remove the top two, and loosen the lower two so that the leg can pivot within the mounting bracket. I loosen the lower two first...and then remove the top two. I am VERY careful when I remove the...

    M105A2 crank up landing leg question

    Thanks! The trailer is hooked up to a truck, so it is not going anywhere.

    M105A2 crank up landing leg question

    (I reviewed the manual and was unable to determine the information I need.) I have an M105A2 that was overhauled about 15 years ago by VSE. The landing leg on the trailer works, but it does not work correctly. As you are cranking it, you need to pull the handle back towards the trailer body...

    What does this data plate say?

    Your truck was overhauled on 10/2000. Two different MWOs were applied to the truck. You can GOOGLE the MWO numbers to find out what was done. There is no mileage listed.

    M1151A1 Interior Roof Adhesive Removal (or Not)?

    I would remove what is there or it might not adhere for long, and especially if the truck sits in the sun.

    GP Inspection Reports, Buy with confidence or Buyer Beware? What is your experience?

    I think the information they provide is generally good and forthright, but I still adhere to caveat emptor. With that said, NOTHING beats an in-person inspection. I, too, most often cannot inspect in-person. I think you need to understand that the pictures and description are provided to give...

    CARC Sub over faded CARC

    I, too, have used RAPCO spray cans and it worked great. I once repainted an entire M35A2 and also an M105A2. I ended up having the M35A2 re-CARCed, but the trailer looked great seven years later.

    M-60A1 main battle tank from "project" to running and registered

    That 4-color MERDC camo is my favorite. Great job on the paint, too!

    M-60A1 main battle tank from "project" to running and registered

    Very impressive work on a beautiful vehicle. I dreamt of trying to buy the M60A1 that came up for sale in TX a few years back, but I came up a couple (hundred) thousand short.

    CUCV Markings in Army Service in Germany in the late 80s

    While this is not on topic, he also had a lot of pictures of an ACE in action as he was an engineer. Very cool vehicle!

    CUCV Markings in Army Service in Germany in the late 80s

    My brother was in the Army from 1982 until the early 2000s. During that time, he was never stationed in Germany, but he did go over there a few times. During one of his trips near Munich in the mid-80s (I saw one pic of the HOFBRAUHAUS), he took a bunch of pictures of M880s, M818s, M35s, and...

    M-50 Sherman alive again

    Awesome tank, and awesome tank collection! I'd love to see pics and videos of all of them, but particularly the M60A1.

    What is the function of this component inside the TOW missile trucks

    Come to think of it, maybe BLK HMMWV already stated it.

    What is the function of this component inside the TOW missile trucks

    I think that mounting point was where the TOW launcher was stored when in transit. As I said, "I think" this is how it worked. I hope someone who served can confirm this.

    What is the function of this component inside the TOW missile trucks

    I used to have an M1045 with that same TOW mounting point, as well as the missile racks (my truck also had the TOW wiring harness hung off a mounting point on the B-pillar). The racks took up the entire bed beneath the rear hatch.

    Newly purchased M923A2 advice

    An NOS hard top goes for around $2K...slightly less if you are fortunate.
