    Airborne Engineer Equipment

    Remarkable pieces of (actual) history. They will be both great looking and useful when restored to former spec. A very nice acquisition, well done.....A 'display' on their own in fact when not in use.

    Slave cable

    ?...I have had the original NATO jump cables in each truck..( with U.S. adaptors) and in the tank..( years and years and years..), they absolutely do the job intended no fuss. So why divert..?...Just curious.

    Fuel miles

    Absolutely agree..So.... OK, I'm guessing your 'MT350'..does around...40 M.P.G. Had it been an M2..then only 1 gallon per mile!...just..guessing..

    A really satisfying Ooops! or..just stupidity.

    I just don't see how it ran, even the outlet pipe was blocked, and the hose split. I have heard of 'deuces' will run without the in tank pump, but that is taking the proverbial. HOW did I miss or forget that? We did everything else. (not required as it now seems). BUT, lesson learned, we will...

    A really satisfying Ooops! or..just stupidity.

    Those that followed my posts about trouble with trucks just cutting out, sometimes starting again, sometimes running great..UNTIL the go pedal is floored. Then..Quit!. Sometimes requiring the wrecker to the rescue. Today I was determined to find out why the (I thought fully fixed ) Fire Truck...

    Interesting Find

    Thing is with assemblies in a scrap yard, they might well be damaged, unserviceable or just plain broken. Then again maybe not...but that is the gamble.

    First event of 2018 frost run

    Our opening event on a cold, winter, and later, snowy day. The M45 530C has two heaters..so driving in these sort of conditions is 'snug'. Anyway'ze although very cold and windy it was nice to meet up with other 'hardy' members. On the way back we stopped at a cafe..much to the amusement...

    50% more heater demister efficiency

    Well we attended the first event of the season, it was raining and cold. (so what). Just a few hardy members showed up, actually about 20 which we thought was rather good. Then it stared snowing and settling, So, after the obligatory 'free burger and coffee' (well cheese and onion for me ( with...

    New guy in Tennessee with a couple questions

    humph!..It is getting to be pain in the whatsit...No, not getting, GOT! We, in the U.K. can no longer buy such ex-military heavy battle equipment.....like......wheel nuts, spares, or windscreen wipers etc! And that is from established dealers like REOMIE. The hobby is now really under threat...

    Show your 5 tons in the snow.

    One for the pure and fantastic sound, and one, of a (more) 'aggressive' appearance', And all the better sounding after a few..beeerz! This was on a way to a damaged vehicle off the road. https://youtu.be/crZYusP0P88 https://youtu.be/PKUW6GAi4_Q

    Bumper mounted vise

    Here is where mine is mounted. And it has been used in 'anger' twice on re-splicing winch ropes. The vice swivels and rotates. It has two jaws. clamp and wire. there is a retaining clip that secures the bar behind the bumper.

    M923 recovery!!!

    Absolutely agree with 'DO NOT' tow it at night!. And in addition remember you have to have brake lights and turn signals. ( trailer board..easy..cheaper than a fine!) My oft repeated motto.." the best (only) way to keep out of trouble"..is to "NOT to get into it in the first place"!. Keep us...

    Getting a BRDM street legal

    The bdrm is a better vehicle for ease of (vision in) driving. The OT skott is terrible. No other word for it if you plan driving on road or in town. Maintenance is very difficult. I had one and was actually going to cut the front plates and fit glass, but it was too much for me to tackle. My...
