Hi Friends,
I am pleased to announce the launch of free Media Mail shipping on orders of three or more books from my website - and also some special pricing on some titles for November. My M151 book is one of the items that is offered free.
Best wishes,

A bigger concern is moisture in the hydraulic side of the system - especially if you are using silicone brake fluid. Water will not mix with the silicone (unlike older fluid), resulting in slugs of water - which can turn to plugs of water in severe cold.

Hi Jesse,
Thanks for your order - and your kind words. My dad is indeed in a better place - he passed away last Monday after having been in the hospital for some time.
Your order will ship tomorrow.

Hello Steel Soldiers!
I was able to get my hands on a few more copies of my books, and have thus extended the Buy one get one free sale on my HMMWV books.
The offer is buy a copy of my 120-page color "High Mobility - a Visual History of the US Army's High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle"...
Probably should look in my newer book -

You are probably looking in the Standard Catalog - first book I ever wrote, and well over 10 years old. I've learned a few things since then :)
Best,
David

Err, actually there are some that were assembled overseas from components made in the USA during the Vietnam era (and I don't mean the Kia KM250 near clones of the M35A2). Of course, the same thing was done in vast quantities during WWII with a variety of military vehicles.

Any other Steel Soldiers attending the annual Red Ball Gilbert, PA show? Set up is September 15, show dates 16-17. Each year the event emphasizes a particular vehicle or two - this year it is the M151 and the M422 Mite.
I'll be there - inside the building. Although weather is usually clear...
And I STILL would like to acquire one as clean as the one in these pictures - but until I nail another book contract (or sell a massive stack of books), no cash for toys!
Best,

If it REALLY is a generator (not an alternator), then perhaps you need to flash the generator. While not MV, at this link is a tutorial that will help:

Yes, parts are available for the gas engine. Not only from surplus dealers, but also commercial sources (aka NAPA) - the engine is a REO OA-331, which was also used in commercial applications.
As far as the gas to Multifuel conversion (and I know that there are several on hear that will...
At last, my new Visual History series book which covers the Kubelwagen and the Schwimmwagen, has arrived. This is a 136-page book, which could not have been done without the considerable help of the members of the KubelKorps group.
While there are several pages of archival photos, the bulk...
At last, my new Dragon Wagon Part 2 books, covering the G-792 Mack/Condec M123/M123A1C, etc., and the G-903 M746 have arrived.

For those that did not reserve copies, I still have...
Hi Guys,
No sooner than my "Big Mack" book, about the Mack M125 and NO prime movers came out a couple years ago, folks were asking me "what about the tractors?" For a long time, my answer was "be patient."
Well, the long wait is ALMOST over....the book should be available by the end of the...
Denise and I will be there, in Building A, booths 66 and 67, with my new Gun Trucks book:
