Multiple of the same (USA) or different? Personally, I think a correctly placed, single US flag looks more poinient/respectful, more than one look like a carnival float, not a military vehicle. If you are doing an all services display of flags, as mentioned before, the US flag "should" be...

Funny..... I have driven in quite a few parades and I have noticed that I am always the only one that sticks to "The Flag Code"... ironically, I am a damn foreigner!

Anyone have any leads on a Humvee tacho drive unit?

Mwa ha haaa... Retaining wall in garden and repair to barn bridge.

Gave the old girl a bit of a workout this week... Mafia blocks - 16 x 4' + 3 x 2'. Two days earlier. 20 used oak crane mats - 16' x 4' x 8".

Yeah - kinda easy to miss this thing!

Did you see tires on big lowboy in display area?

Yeah - I'll bring them... found 3 more too. Will take first with cash for min of 4 (choise), others seperately after that for $45 ea.

I have a set of 900 x 16 NDCC 'bar grips', 2/3+ wear left I would like to sell. $250 or best offer. LMK before I load trailer! [ I have found a set of new'ish "Continental" bar grips for my 1 tonne Land Rover that will be replacing them, as more 'period correct'. ]

Not sure I can help but would like to. Always looking out for trailers - especially gen set ones!! I'm located in central NY, have space and lifting ability... when do they need to be picked up? I am headed to Gilbert PA for next weekends show with M916A1 and M870A1.

I have fab'd one for moving mil trailers with various cars/pickups.. only thing to really worry about is the appropriate amount of nose weight so that the 'tail doesn't wag the dog'.

Find a nice little shop out of the city. Never had tyres looked at for any vehicle in NY!

Why do you need a 20,000lb winch for a car trailer? Seems like way overkill to me, even dragging totally siezed pickup wouldn't put up that much fight.

Just incase anyone missed what went on in France last week... Astonishing Huge D Day Armored Convoy Leaves Camp (youtube.com)

Where's your table? ... looked all over, didn't see LR wheels.

Had some time to tackle the siezed one, so made slogging spanner and used a lot of heat. Arrow showing pile of corrosion dust after heating and slogging loose. Slogging spanner from slices of different sized steel pipe. Fair bit of corrosion on bolt shank. Next step, clean, paint n...

I'm coming along I 90 through NY. Eastern is South of me the full height of PA. Not sure if a hook up can happen - shame, I saw Dave and Bill at Sussex.

Headed that way. Can bring old style heavy tow bar (non telescoping and not the M88 one), McKISSIK 1" sheeve snatch blocks, 3/4" single sheeve snatch blocks - with hook, shelving brackets for "AAR Mobility ISU 90" storage containers, transfer lever extensions for split shifting M816 etc. I...

Picked up a pair of real heavy snatch blocks. Thought I'd tear them down and lube everything. Surprised to see sheave was running on a double ring of roller bearings. 5 finger bolt head, obviously doesn't fit any (ordinary) spanner/socket, so I went straight to slogging at it with a big...

Well, another show over. Turnout wasn't as good as pre covid, but I guess it is much the same every where. On a plus note, I did meet n chat with 4 seperate, new to that show/any show people: Afghan vet - USAF Security with his Humvee kitted out as his was in theatre, a mate of his with a very...
