I've been told by Goat owners to swim one, one should put fitted 2 x 10s along the sides of the driving compartment to add some badly needed freeboard, insert all plugs, turn on the bilge pump on high, and ease into the water only if there are no waves or wind. A long rope on the pintle is...
TM numbers are not hard to figure out. TM a-bbbb-ccc-xx-(p) where 'a' is the major proponent (aircraft, chemical, artillery, electronics, ordnance, etc.). 'bbbb' is the Federal Supply Code (2320 is wheeled vehicles, 2330 is trailers, etc). 'ccc' is a specific item (IE, 283 is Truck, tractor...
PM me about MKT info. You will get an address to mail a USB drive to. Upon receipt, I'll load about 3.8 GB of MKT stuff (and related subjects) onto it and send it back in a padded envelope. Just make sure you send the USB drive in a padded envelope and your return address is clear. I already...
Manual switch with that rating is fine, automatic transfer would not pass the national (NFPA 70 or later) or any state's electric code. With a manual switch, you are responsible for load management (or mismanagement) for safety and liability purposes.
Roof jacks are the same for all MKT's (unless you HAVE to have the same color). Many earlier MKT's were upgraded to the MKT-99 standard. Height of the lip on the griddle is usually a giveaway - 2" on the older ones, 4" on the '99' models. Recirculating air fan and floor vent, six vent roofs...
I've always loaded pictures one at the time. Large files take a l-o-o-o-o-o-n-g time to upload, for the ones you want to upload try changing the compression on them to 25 percent and resizing them to 1200 pixels on the longest side. They will not display any bigger than that anyway.
In spirit only, as that is the day our local club has it's major fundraiser, working at the "St Pat's in Five Points" festival. We will be thinking of you!
Depends on how soon you want to make the purchase. There should be several deuces at the VA rally (30 miles north of Charlottesville) over the Labor Day weekend. Haspin in Ohio will be sooner - June I think, where you could also get some seat time.
Probably the two litter HMMWV Ambulance. Sportsman's Guide had them several years ago for $49 plus shipping. There are not many of that variant in existence. I only know of two, both in private hands, that are complete.
Jericho is correct on packaging for shipping. I was advised a long time ago to wrap cameras with at least three inches of bubble wrap and Styrofoam between the box and any part of the camera, then pick it up and ask myself "Do you feel comfortable drop kicking this package over 20 feet?". If...
In Sarge's Katrina Story, he drive a Deuce through water so high that was coming in the cab through the holes in the floor. So it CAN be done, however the wisdom of knowing WHEN to do something like that is in great demand. USMC and Seabee's generally have vehicles that can go through surf up...
A fool and his money are soon parted. He can have it good, fast or cheap, or any two in combination, but not all three. To use that generator, he will need three separate circuits, each a 110-120 v only (IE ABSOLUTELY NO 220-240 v ANYTHING) with each drawing about the same load all the time...
Yes, you ask the auction site to have the winning bidder contact you at your registered e-mail address. They pass the information to the winning bidder. Whether the winning bidder ever does anything with the information, is a completely different question. My experience so far is 50-50.
