    A Hens Tooth Up For Auction

    As a hobby farmer with chickens, I’d recommend you check for eggs in every nook and cranny.

    Where is that boneyard located?

    HMMWV prices are sure coming up

    I’m curious what this means and what the long-term market effect will be. Thus, I’m concerned about the insurance aspect of military vehicles, and their value increases, in general. I wonder if it’s a bad sign for the insurance industry yet good for someone else? Besides collectors. Here’s my...

    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    7.62mm NATO is a 7.62x51mm cartridge; the Russian one is 7.62x54mm.

    Brdm 2 cost

    Looks like you have a later model rKh (NBC recon) vehicle. The contamination marking flags can be priceless to some collectors— I’ve only seen a single marker in private hands, ever. I bet the “squibs” are still in place to launch them. They are electrically-initiated and I’d make sure that...

    2- way radios

    It’s 90 percent antenna and ten percent radio, as you may know. I would invest in what the most likely choice for people whom you will be with to use. With CB your compromise may be antenna length. You can use FM mode, even with a tone, per a recent FCC decision. GMRS, legally, would mean...

    Hurricane Ida - Deep Water Rescue

    I’ve never been there nor do I know much about it, but why do they make such a big deal over which parish someone belongs to? I’m guessing it’s so people know which church to go to for health and welfare items? I grew up in an Italian- and Polish-American area, with only three large Catholic...

    Big, Scary Truck

    Not sure what this has to do with the FMTV family, but... In Massachusetts at least, where I was an officer, a LEO with the proper training could revoke a vehicle’s inspection on the spot and request a tow for a vehicle that didn’t meet standards. In all of my years and with all of the...

    1976 Canadian CUCV Help

    They have been discussed here before. Nickname is the “five quarter” so maybe that will pop in search results.

    I echo the above sentiments!!!

    FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE?

    I do business with Hagerty with a sort of “agreed upon” value. I claimed the value, sent about a dozen photos and a few receipts, and they agreed. I’ve never had to make a claim. Coverage is certainly not minimal collision but also not as much as a daily driver gets. I pay about $170 a year...

    M1009 How To Roll Down the Rear Window??

    Did the handle actually break, or pop off the little “ears” that should be held in place by screws? Mine jumps out of the screws often. A photo would help.

    tree vs. cucv m1008

    Ouch! I’m not a crash specialist but I’d guess that’s about 20MPH at impact...? I think that sure would be totaled by insurance.

    The Green Croc.... My monster KrAZ-255B1

    The levers are as follows, left to right, to the best of my memory, from top position to bottom: Intermediate axle differential (on/off) Transfer case (high forward/low rear) PTO (off/on?) Bed dump control (up/neutral/down) ...BUT... Earlier trucks had the intermediate switch on top of the...

    Fire Extinguisher

    Are you sure they are fire extinguishers and not DS2 sprayers? The decon spray bottle would contain DS2, which is caustic, I forgot if it’s closer to hypochloric acid or bleach. (Neat fact that most people would never guess: instead of a pull pin to secure the handle against accidental...

    Can anyone Identify this test vehicle?

    It’s a remote-controlled (note the VHF low band antenna) holder for rail-based targets. Here’s some info on the manufacturer: https://inveristraining.com/about-inveris-training-solutions/our-history/caswelltimeline/

    Newest CUCV equivalent?

    I noticed that too... ...the problems are that the photos weren’t taken in my driveway, and that I can’t claim ownership!

    Looking for Chad from MA.

    Get in touch with someone who organizes the Weare, NH, meetups. I bet one of them knows who he is. Any idea where in MA he was from?

    Maybe old radio coax, if it’s a single copper core.
