I really hope you mean the m1008!!!!

There are too many lifeguards around the gene pool.

Back in steam days flywheel failures were known to kill many and destroy whole boiler rooms at factories. Lots of potential energy stored up in a rotating mass. I never thought to check the drum for cracks either- it will become another check box on the list.

Ron, All machines are 'of the female type' -They can be troublesome with no understandable (by man) reasons why it won't work. -They can do amazing things if treated right -They can run just fine one day but be totally different the next -Some have the potential to wipe mankind from the face...

Good luck guys! Too bad I wasn't able to get one too, would have been good to do a double recovery! I know I'm also a long ways away, but anything I can do to help, let me know.

First time welding, in the Vocational school in HS. I was wearing a brand new pair of coveralls. Finished my first filet weld. Lifted my helmet, and started to chip the slag. A nice inch long piece flew up, and found the V in the neck of the coveralls. Went straight to the bottom. Know what's at...

I have no artistic skill whatsoever. But I really admire and appriciate it when I see it. You have some very good skill! as well as the others who have posted drawings. I'm lucky if I can do a stick figure. lol.

Sounds like a WM SOP... At least to feed Elmo.

I would say that he does have a problem, all this time, and he still ONLY has 10 trucks!!! Or you could say with regular 'treatments', he's managing the addiction well...

My wife's M109 rides sooo much better with the G177s. I think you will be happy with them. They are wearing like iron too. We've put 5k miles on them, and you can hardly tell. Be half way to a new set of NDT's by now...

about 5 min with a chainsaw, and the branch has eaten its last MV part!

Got home about 30min ago. Total trip tallys- 879.01 miles moving average- 50.1mph Max speed- 65.3 mph moving time 17:20 total time (includes gas and stops, but not loading, unloading, etc) 20:37 Whew! Nothing remotely went wrong the whole trip, then I catch my exhaust stack on a limb in...

:drool:We made it to Brandon's LZ at about 0100. We looked at the thread but I guess Brandon didn't post. No issues whatsoever. PB, that was a slick 'racing' tread tire on the tractor. Lol. Looks the same as when we left. I need to get a few spares on the rim to have at the house ready to go all...

I did this in my XM818 once, I also figured when I climbed out there would be pieces of truck all over underneath. Not so, it scared me but didn't seem to do any damage. I need to re-rebuild the air shifter on mine again anyway, I suppose I will go ahead and add the cut out switch. Easy and...

oops, yep, forgot the M880. I was thinking more of a 1980's diesel version, and the ramcharger ala M1009. ODdave, I suppose you have a point there, the Gov would have just bastardized a Dodge's electrical system too.

lol that deuce looks familiar!!!!

Someone was mentioning putting one in a Dodge D500... I just got that old D600 and I use it to collect WVO, and it sure could use a diesel... It only does 55 mph right now anyway, really needs a 5th gear or 2spd rear end. I do have a couple of spare LDTs... :twisted: I think it would fit in...

I wish Dodge had won the CUCV contract. (did they even offer a demonstrator?) The body would be rusting apart but the electrical would have been way easier!!!!! Looks good.

You unwhittingly contribute to a lot of 'crimes against nature' Gimp... Looking forward to seeing what you come up with Lane!

I plan to pull the motor out after a trip this weekend and source an electric one to take it's place.
