What an adventure for sure. Patience and diligence to make the trip to the end. You do know the old acronym? SNAFU? I am glad you made it to the Finish! Now to prepare for your NEXT ADVENTURE OFF ROAD TRIP!

Rebuild kits, parts are out there. I am sure that parts cross reference with other units. Do some screen work and cross reference. If you can rebuild yourself you can save labor cost. Is it worth having a spare? Sure, and even if you do not yourself use the unit you can always sell and recoup...

1 Patriot, I may have entered into a previous Death Match thread over ownership of Military Vehicles, Equipment. Just playing devils advocate. Nothing personal. I have chosen a few examples of government repossession. "If" the Fed requires its former property back, then yes the Gov can and...

Yes they can actually, that is why Their are Courts. Are you looking for reaffirmation of ownership? Do you remit a mortgage? Or do you Own your home? If an owner of property free and clear of a mortgage, does not pay taxes on, how long do you think that you will own such? You have the...

The Federal Government can legislate whatever they like. As the President can also with a signature. Gold recall of 1933, for one but a little off topic. Ask any Native American about taking back something that has been given. Manifest Destiny Can the State or Federal Government reacquire that...

I have to say that Tanker Combo of 155mm has to be one versatile piece of equipment. And to be the Driver and then have a Shotgun Man for Backup, well a lot there to get Wet about.

Well not being an electrical engineer, I have been replacing Fried wiring on equipment, vehicles for, 45 plus years. Many problems arise because of type of usage, whether hard usage, mild, or hardly used. ALL wiring has its limitations. Type of, gage, are primary factors then design of...

My exact thought also. If the engine still has the rope seal either it has been replaced or it is original to the engine. Sometimes I just add more hemp if when I take off the valve cover and the engine is clean inside, I just make room and repair or replace. Not something a novice mechanic...

This is exactly some GREAT advice. No doubt that putting some weight in back will help give a better ride, especially on your back and kidneys. At work if we are going over the road to another location we load the machines with material in the buckets, scrapers, payloaders, backhoes, haultrucks...

Good Luck and be patient with the Big Iron. Take your time and do the simple things first, reading manuals first, then fluids and leak prevention. A lot of helpful tips, and try to educate yourself a little and research manuals and the archives as much as you can to help understand the...

Yikes that tanker USAFSS has to be the largest tanker I have ever seen. USAF runway rescue supply vehicle, or Forest Service? Wow is the truck only equipped with one pair of axels? I am going out on a limb here but maybe dry chem mix with water, foam, two tanks combined? Still a lot of weight...

I would think you could build a 3/4 or 1 inch drive cart or a winch of some kind to help with the heavy work. Might be on to something there. Other uses besides the obvious?

When working for a company that has a large or small fleet of equipment to maintain, air tools are a time saver, as long as hand thread has been started to keep from cross thread or continued galling of fastener. When I have my own vehicles worked on by others it really pains me because I have...

Galling threads ruins studs and nuts. Their are great forces at work. My own process is to remove any debris in the threads and a light drop of lubricant before removal, then place nuts on stud board as they are removed and place back on same studs without any further lubricant. Any that are...

Wow have we had some RAIN here in Missouri. I am sure that Chester has had some also 54reo? The Mississippi I am sure is on the Rise. I will get an early start to get to Chester to see the LST, and Camp Chester on Sunday. Hope to see some members there!

Awesome! Like you have said it would be Great to find some Pedigree about the GPW. I would continue and make it yours, with the continued acquisition of accessories. And do not hide your Great find of History. Many of todays Youth, and for that matter all ages need not Forget the Sacrifices of a...

That's what I said, Bummer

Will be down to see the LST 325 this weekend. Good thing I decided to check in, with my health taking a dive these last couple weeks, it has been trying to say the least. Thanks for the reminder 54reo.

Gee Wiz I wanted to see the LST underway and missed the chance.
