Sources for the LeRoi engines would be appreciated, and I'd pass them on. He is willing, I should say, to yank the existing tranny unit and replace with whatever works best, even an automatic.

I have a buddy west of here who isn't on Steel Soldiers, he owns a M123 tractor, one of the early ones with the LeRoi gas motor in it. The truck is in nice shape, but the motor suffered a detonation many years ago, so there is a hole in the block, and the rest of the motor got scavenged for...

I had one of those set up at Rausch Creek in fall 2010. It was HEAVY, and required more than one person to set up without messing up your back. Just warning you.

Awesome concept - subscribed as well!

To be fair, yes there were probably a few purchased by GSA and used on base as "grocery getters" just around the base. However, it would have remained in civilian paint jobs, not repainted a subdued color and doctored up with a lot of tactical options. I have also seen an IH Scout and a Ford...

To my knowledge the Jeep Commando was never used by any branch of the US service, nor by any foreign military either. It's probably just a hobbyist who had a Commando, and painted it to "play the role". Like the guys who paint CJ-2As and CJ-3As to portray a M38, or those who use their CJ-5s to...

I think it's just Privates treating military equipment like a rented mule, it's not their money and their tax dollars.

Would RC allow an enclosed wood stove in the camping area for cooking on? Think: wood stove with a door to load the wood in, flat top, and chimney. Might be an idea to cook on, and provide extra camp heat, without only relying on that **** tiny fire ring of theirs.

I know what this is... This is an espresso machine. No, no wait. It's a snow cone maker. Is it a water heater?

Loading the truck up now for the ride up, lotsa little things, manuals, ammo cans, wine crate, tools, etc. Stop on by and say "hi"! Will be in my normal spots on the NE side against the fence. Weather is still slated to be great, lows in the high 40s, high in the 70s. Partly sunny the whole...

I think he got the numbers mixed up - it's not a M101A3, it's a M103A1. Looks great, though! Gives me an idea about taking a smaller M116 genset trailer, and building removable sides out of plywood, so I can use it as a cargo/camping trailer, or remove if I need to haul something a little more...

Cool Den! Plan to put her back into original configuration with the 307 V-8? Love to come up and take a good look at it sometime...

Looks like great stuff! Will have to keep this product in mind for future trucks....

Glad to hear it, Ollie! I got a few nice ones too, I'll trade ya!

One thing I have, non-military, if anyone might be interested for their workplace or job, I have a Ridgid Model 300 pipe threading machine in good condition, the motor and everything works good and I gave it a fresh coat of grey paint, $800. Let me know if you're interested and I'll put it on...

One week left to go! Looked at the weather forecast - next Thursday-Saturday is shown to be lows in the high 40s, highs in the low 70s, and partly sunny the whole time. Looks great!

Sad to hear you are not going through with the build, Brandon. Is everything okay on your end? Hope you are well, and in good health and spirits...

Yes, take it! Wish I was closer, I'd snag it... First thing I'd check is the throttle cable on the governor, see if it's adjusted right for fuel flow when idle. Could be the throttle is open when running, but when idling it's dang near closed.

Noone? Wow, I thought there were a bunch of hams on here...

I dug out my R-390A that I was given a few years back by a friend of mine, I have to test it out and see how it performs. It's a beast, and not in the best condition internally, so it will probably need some parts and TLC. One thing I've been thinking of is I need to build a rack-mount audio...
