Stay away. there's a reason the Italians built it and the Israelis are selling it , Centrifugal engines are rarely used these days, last one in the USAF was a J -69 used in the T- 37 tweety bird . solid little engine, low thrust, easy teardown and overhaul. It was a French design and was in in...
OLd Belle Chase, Used work the odd A 10 A Warthog. , they had an AF reserve unit flying form there and we (23rd TFW ACTIVE , England AFB LA ) did trng and touch and goes, when they became a touch and come too a full stop for maintenance we used to drive down to recover them, hope they fixed it...
There were quite a few floating around the USAF for a while! I have one, although it was in fact one that was used by the US ARMY at Spangdalem AB in Germany in the Air Defense ARMY unit. They called it a motor pool jeep and it was kind of the bastard step child, you could see someone different...
Found your ATF comment interesting, Have used it for years, Although I have changed to Marvel Mystery Oil as an additive. For years in England at a gas station (Petrol Station) one would find a small container to add a squirt of lube oil to your fuel.makes sense. Two stroke oil, yup , could see...
Ive had terrible luck with Gama Goat Alts, seems every time I take it over 65 MPH ( down hill on the interstate) it fries the alt, Suspect its rotor speed. Had good luck (knock on wood) with my M 109a3 . lots of trips, no problems . I have adjusted the potentiometer on the alt before, BUT alas...

An interesting observation Patracy, I understand your logic, PA seems to have an active and influential (positive) MIL- VEH sector , they have very thoughtful and "accomadating " registration laws for collectors. And yes I would like to see some Of PA s accomadating regulation on military...
I think 74M is correct, just look for wire tags, if they font have any it could be owner installed stuff, I have REMOVED tons of it from my M 93A2 Iam headed out to the yard soon Ill look at mine , albeit a four battery set up, Still basic ly the same just in Parallel ( 12v to 12v , then series...
Kudoes! , a man and his M35 , beginning of a great story, Fill the voids with expandible foam for now , slip a Wally world heater ( 12 volt or LPG into the cab , you WILL NEED IT , dress warmly and if your travelling on NDTs use extreme caution they are ****E on snow and ice. and I thought my 26...
