I have pulled a total of zero on the 270 so far! I just picked it up recently off of Ft Hood, with the intent of transporting my V100 to shows on it, and haven't got the loading ramps made for it yet. The deck is 40' (trailer is 49' total) so it should easily haul two smaller vehicles at a...

If you haven't tried it yet, go down to the bottom left corner of the page (way down there) and find the little menu thingy. It gives you a "higher contrast" option that changes the colour scheme to OD similar to the old site. That worked wonders for me, I could actually read things again, and...

As B3.3T suggested earlier, still sounds like the M1117/ASV. It is the grandchild of the V100, built by the same company (now called Textron). I got to drive one during one of my stints training Army folks, very nice vehicle and a whole lot different to drive than my V! Cheers

M270A1 and the M128A2C. I suppose I could drag the M105s around too, hadn't tried that yet. :smile: Cheers (and Pawnshop's M109... Sorry Sam, couldn't resist!)

If you have been talking to the guy on site, and he is the one rescheduling, there should be no problem. Cheers

They are called SEE, Small Emplacement Excavator Cheers

It's about 14"11" inside and 15'3" if you go to the outside of the front panel. What measurements do you need? I am headed out to the farm in a bit and can measure for you. The bed on the M813 and M923-types is exactly the same. I have both out there. Cheers

15' And no, you can't get a 14' fitted tarp on it, no matter how much you cuss! But the tarp from an MTV will fit fine (though hangs down the sides further). Cheers

Everyone has their prejudices. I have found the 6.2 to be very reliable, and easy to keep running. Like any other 30 year old vehicle, the CUCVs will have their issues, but they are easy to work on and almost all parts are easy to get. It is not a "high-power" motor, slow on acceleration, but...

I have not actually installed it, but did test fit a boot taken from an M35 in my M813 (I'm more interested in keeping some of the hot air out of the cab!) and it looked like a fine fit. One source- SS member Jatonka makes reproduction ones that look to be very good. Google Jatonka and you...

There are actually two "standard" turn signal levers. One has a single arm, near the base on top is a small tab that, if depressed gently rearward, allows the arm to go past right-turn to 4-way. The second type has a second, shorter, lever behind it. Pull that short lever out toward its tip...

I have M42 Alarm Units mounted on the dash plates on my M1009s. I don't have the other unit they attach to with wires. Is this it? Looks like it has the output terminals. Cheers

Excellent! They are fun. More pictures? Now you have to change your signature line.. ;-) Cheers

Texas also has the 'veteran' tag on the DL, but it is on the front. Having started out my military career at a time when we were often refused service in restaurants for being Marines (1978 ), it pleases me to see how the military is treated now. When my Marine son was going back (and headed...

This is very painful.

I'll have to go look at mine, but it looks like your metal channel is bent out too far. I had a similar problem on one of my trucks, had to put the plastic part in, then bang the metal channel tighter with a rubber mallet. It moves easily, just take it slowly. Same when prying it up a bit...

I notice that some folks can see a list of which members are on, and others, like me, cannot. In my vast knowledge of computers (he says trying not to laugh too much) I would guess this is either something I need to turn on on my preferences for the site, or on my own computer. But, I cannot...

Mark, the M37 (and the re-decked trailer) looked great! Having watched it progress from "as aquired" to its current condition, I am most impressed. :beer: Here are a couple of pictures from the parade Sunday. The first one is a little dark because it was an uncivilized hour of the morning...

No Jim, not wasted, at least for me. I think lots of folks in the future will find both yours and Maddawg's info long before they might find a manual. And I personally like to see the original documents. You both have my thanks. Cheers

Okay, both of you are right, actually. Clarification- You don't need a commercial license to haul for personal use, you need a Non-Commercial Class A or B. Same level of license, same test, you just don't have to pay the commercial fees or meet the other commercial standards/rules. Most DMV...
