    Looking for a M416

    I'll second what Randy said. They very RARELY show up on auction sites and, if they do, they are often modified. I had been thinking of parting with my M416, but I used it a few weeks back, and the wife actually told me she thought it was useful so I should keep it! No way I can sell it now.

    Jeep trailer floor.

    I have installed plywood and other types of wood in utility trailers to protect and strengthen the trailers for hauling. The trailers do not sit outside or get wet as I mainly use them for hauling things like bags of mulch and firewood. I think that you are asking for a rust-out by adding wood...

    M915A1 Engine Oil

    In addition to Rotella, I also use Mobil Delvac 15W40 and Valvoline 15W40 in my trucks...whichever is on sale. Come to think of it, I have also used Quakerstate and Pennzoil 15W40. All else being equal, though, I like Rotella, too. In my personal opinion, you can't go wrong with a name brand oil.

    Guess who is coming to dinner?

    Dudley, I am in! Let me know if you need any extra to cover anything and, like Mike, I'd be happy to help out.

    another cat 7155 question

    If you continue to have problems, buy a rough M920, M916, or M915 and pull the entire transmission assembly. It would not be a bad idea to have extra parts on hand.

    Bringing to Aberdeen 2011

    I will be bringing: *a few of the Cambro drink dispensers as seen on the MKT kitchen trailers. (Used, but nice: $45) *a few of the Cambro food containers (replacement for the mermite cans, but nicer...plastic and stainless steel inserts with rubber seals)...a few are new with some storage...

    Ian, I am looking forward to seeing you and your buddy with the bagpipes again (Sean?). It will be fun!

    Aberdeen

    We're in yellow S/R 4-9. I am with CUCVFAN (Neil), POWERHOUSEDEUCE (Matt), and HEDELTA (Sean). SteelSoldiers members are usually all around that location. I know we are always right near Cabell. It sounds like we are near Dudley and his crew, too.

    The M983 HEMTT tractor is coming along

    If I had the money when the FMTV came up in GA, I would have owned that one...or the guy who got it would have paid substantially more! I wanted that truck badly...and almost pulled the trigger, but I got nervous at the last minute.

    My first MV Looking at the M816

    HALFTRACK has a nice M936A2 that he wants to sell. I know he is a "motivated" seller so it could probably be gotten cheaply...according to what he told me before he went to USMC officer candidate school.

    The M983 HEMTT tractor is coming along

    I might not even have it long enough to complete it! Two guys are VERY interested and one guy has a solid offer on the table. Thinking things over...I hate to part with it, but I like the thrill of the chase (i.e., finding new toys).

    Contact Mark Dodd at RAPCO in TX for the paint. I just bought some for touch-ups.

    Aberdeen

    I have been going to Aberdeen since the late 90s. I have seen guys drinking each and every year...and often been part of it. I have never been a part of any gathering that was unusually noisy or rowdy...or did anything to bring negative attention on the group. I can't speak for everyone, but...

    I hope Ian makes his jungle juice! It was interesting watching him decompose over the course of the night. :grin:

    Can a M915A1 pull a M920?

    I recommend getting the truck hauled professionally. I have taken part in many truck extractions...some without any issues...and others where there were problems. You will remember the ones where there were problems for sure!

    I am in...especially since I'll be with both of your sons at the show! One thing to consider...Cabell Garbee usually has a cookout one or two nights. You may want to coordinate this with him. I just spoke with him the other night and he said he was considering BBQ ribs! Cabell is a h*** of a...

    I concur about White Owl. I have never had anything but positive dealings with them. Good people...
