Maybe now a couple of women I know will think about not "lurking about" as guests and become registered "OD Green Disease" sufferers like the rest. They belong to our club and visit this site regularly but have been a little timid about joining. There is nothing timid about the way they...

Another that agrees with ksM715, you vote or you don't complain. And those us us who served have an even greater responsibility to vote. Sort of looking at it the way the orientals do saving a life. You're responsible for it for the rest of yours. So you served, you took your chance, sttod...

They don't like anything over 70 much, and mine was stenciled 55 on the dash, the 890, (two wheel version) also had 55 max. speed limit stenciled in it. With good tires, they'll do 70 plus, just remember is "Norwegian Steam Steering" though.:sad:

The wife let me pick mine up after she heard that AAA wouldn't bring our M-54 off the road if something happened......... And she heard what the local "recovery companies" get for their road work. I didn't want to tell her there were other ways of getting the bigger trucks home. There is a...

I am an LEO part time anymore, but its too funny some times. I can only echo what most of the members here say. I've had plenty offer to help drive and some want to borrow it for 'tactical use'. But my wife, that's another story. While out with the Dodge M-890, she had a local constable pull...

Mark down one more M-62 International, old well used, and rescued from a horrible fate as "cold tonnage". She runs, gets LOUSY milage (Cont. R6602 gasser) but has earned her keep here and there, seems to love the attention and is a ball to drive and watch the little rice burners run for the...

The Fall Oak Ridge Festival, October 16/17th has an area open to military vehicles and re-enactors. Set up is Friday the 15th or before 0900 Saturday. Its free to M/V'er's displaying vehicles. Should be a nice show if all goes well. They get alot of people there for the rest of the show back...

You had a van type tractor trailer in picture two, has it sold, if not, how much and does it have the dollie? Also, what's the smalles water cooled diesel genset you have and how much?

Old enough to know better, too young to resist, is what the wife says, but working with the Sea Cadets makes me think I'm 30 something, my body tells me I'm 90 something, and the calendar says I'm 61. I'll fugure it out some day...:confused:

That federal program is a wierd one too. We (our group) currently have a deuce "on loan" from the local sheriff's office. Every time they needed it the batteries were dead, tires flat or both, now they get it with a driver, full tank and operational when they call for it. They're going to...

Yep, if I can "figger" out how to put it on this site, I'm OK wiith the machines, its COMPUKERS that I don't get along with. Too old I guess, (me not the computer...) I used to keep a BIG hammer next to it to make it behave, but its (artificial intelligence you know) learned that I will not use...

Mike, Keep up the good work, and I'm sure someone with your drive and talent will land a job besides. Somebody in your area reading this series has got to have a finger on something. You have me OD Green with envy....... "Godzilla" the one we're planning on building is still just in the...

Hope they worked some of the bugs out of the firing systems, these are the rehab'ed models that served in Viet Nam. There on a fire mission one night a gun known as "Blood, Sweat and Tears", took the life of its commander and another crewman when while firing manually due to a problem in the...

Been busy out on the Lakes this weekend, we took a 1942 built ex-Army "L" type minefield maintenance boat to Cleveland from Sandusky yesterday and towed a 1970's built LCM-8 back to Sandusky today. Attracted quite a bit of attention. What tug is that pushing the scow ahead, looks familiar to me...

I've got a 1954 M-62 with a Continental R6602. Not real nice on the wallet when you're taking her places, BUT its lots of fun, everybody wants to use it and can do most anything but fly and swim. Still looks a little rough but putting her to rights is being done right. If they quit skidding...

Have not really started on the truck yet, have the truck, collecting the material for the conversion, but we'll be doing an M-37 reproduction of "Godzilla" shortly (we hope)

Any body know if Dan Johnson of Hastings Mich. is going to be there, I need to get ahold of him, he's got some stuff of mine, like a seat frame for my wrecker and some other things, and I've got a set of M-725 rear doors for him.

LIKE THE MAN SAID, what are ya watin for, a vision from above, she's right in front of you, don't wait for another sign, THAT one could be fatal..... a lightning bolt or worse, a sixty pound hail stone......:-?
