dh, that thing has a pretty bushy tail for Elmo...

Gimpy Oops some of this was already posted while I was away from the reply I had part done.... Also, if the ad Westy posted is for this truck you may not need some of this. If you are not sure the truck has a correct key or whether the switch has been monkeyed with you should take an...

If anyone is willing to discuss picking up a large pallet and dropping it at the loading dock of a local freight shipper please PM me. I suspect the load weighs about 1500 pounds. Thanks Lance

At the risk of preaching to the choir, and as food for thought, the M915 brakes were designed for stopping 120,00 pounds and are not ABS. When driving bob tail (no trailer) the brakes can lock up in a hurry especially on wet or otherwise slick roads so leave yourself a lot of cushion between...

Mike, I guess what I take would be related to how far from civilization I was headed, why I was headed there and which truck was doing the towing. If I were going to a show there's a lot to be said for booming the S-280 camper into a 6x6 like I did for Gilbert last year and hooking up an...

I don't remember the official name since we always called them "tube tents" anyway. You'd need to make up modified poles and an arch for the end that booted to the CP track and find a way enclose that end since the tent actually was held to the vehicle by hems with rope in them that clamped...

Or the Moscow in NY, PA, VT, ME, VA, IL or about 20 other states. Knowing Mark though it wouldn't surprise me if he's in the original Moscow. If that's where you are Mark and you find some former Soviet armor that will fit a 6'4" guy ask if they'll take an out of town starter check.... :-P...

Well, lets see.... I couldn't use the feedback page since the text in the dialog box wouldn't wrap or respond to the Enter key so I could only type a few words before it locked up. It now takes a pogo stick, three hula-hoops and a yo-yo to search for the items for sale in a single state where...

There will be a meeting of Easy Co., NY-PENN MVCC at 1 PM Sunday, 24 June at my place in Sennett (between Auburn and Skaneateles). I know there are several members, new and old, in the CNY area who aren't in NY-PENN and all of you are welcome. We'll have light refreshments. PM for the address...

One of the principle reasons it is not often seen here is because it still tends to bring the same kind of prices industrial machinery brings elsewhere. Lance

Danl, it is safe to say that I'm NOT the man on M915A1s. There just happens to be one handy to fuss with when I get bored. The one I have was a pretty accidental acquisition and if it stays it needs to be pretty versatile. That's why I was exploring PTOs and hydraulic pump options since that...

I had 29 years experience working on and around MVs before I started buying them so I have always picked up and transported my own. If you look in the transportation forum you'll find info on brokers and online services folks have used along with the ups and downs along the way. You only have...

The taller tires on the A1 and A2 trucks put a lot more strain on the drive line in rough terrain. Also, the taller tires put the bed that much higher and make hand loading, unloading and even getting into the truck a lot more work. I'm 6'4" and the bed is at shoulder height. For Checkmate...

Welcome to the site. You are in the same neck of the woods as the Hudson-Mohawk chapter of the NY-PENN military vehicle collectors club. If you are looking for information check Home Are you looking for an M915A1 to modify or to use as a tractor? Any plans for using one to work or do you...

Warren, I'm sure they'll refund your money without an issue but I doubt they'll find you another truck. One of the things you agreed to when you signed up at GL was to inspect lots and to be sure the description matches the reality-what the Army used to call "ground truth". You also...

So, we have been concerned with the possible effects of worn magnetos that could be 60 years old and monkeyed with a gazillion and times with all the challenges of eliminating potential ignition related causes of the low power. To be blunt, one issue for me in trying to advise someone else on...

I have TankLady's permission to unearth some of the pic archive of their hoard. It'll include pics of the M41A1 shooting blanks and tearing up one of Jack's hay fields etc and, if I can lay my crumb snatchers on them, trolling for trout with the DUKW Throw in the wrecker, bridge truck...

The Allison in the M939 family of trucks is, like most all of them, pretty bullet proof within the performance envelope it was designed for and specified by the buyer for. But, no, an M939 series truck isn't an around the clock 65 MPH truck. If I may interject a bit of reality; the difference...

PB, all of us have our own MVs, antique tractors, hit 'n miss engines, generators etc to deal with but the M41A1 and the DUKW get some special lovin'. I came home to the #5 son (age 19) working to get his 1954 John Deere B ready to mount a newly acquired set of the original style wheels along...

Well, if I were more organized this thread would have started a few months ago when the M41A1 Walker Bulldog TankLady AKA Angie G. and her hubby Jack G. (for the old timers in the MV hobby-40 years or so) own was running a might under the weather... The power pack is out and we're working on a...
