Hey all, Well my M923A1 is having an issue. I turn the master power switch on and instead of the "initialization" sound you normally hear, all I hear is a single click... then when the starter switch is moved up, nothing happens. Batteries are new... any ideas?

Tanks Needed the room... more tanks incoming... and building more building right now is out of the question! She went to a good friend, so she'll be "in contact"

Sure No problem... 1954 Russian BTR-40 Armored Personnel carrier. This particular model was the only gun truck we know in the U.S. It was captured by the Israelis in the 6 day war, and was put into service patrolling the Golan Heights for several years. She had mounts for 4 machine guns...

Had to say goodbye to an old friend this weekend, who went off to a new and loving home. We had just completed an exterior restoration, and she looked amazing... So long old warrior, we never really own them, just hold them for their next owners...

Hey all, Took the Mk48 out for a long drive today... awesome vehicle and LOTS of stares... However between 35 and 40 there is a pronounced HOPPING that begins and gets fairly violent at times... anyone else have this? It doesn't always do it, sometimes its not bad, other times very bad...

Starter Switch Great! Set me up with one... how much do you want and how do I get you paid? Thanks!

Rumors There are only rumors that individual collectors and museums have been allowed to bring in US armor... If it was Lend Lease and military, doesn't matter if it has armor or not, it is supposedly banned. I would talk to your U.S. Representative, and I'd file the Form 6 and try. I would...

5 Ton 900 Series Starter Switch I'm in need of a working 5 ton 900 Series starter switch... I don't have to have the knob, just the interior switch... Thanks!

Not Yet... No haven't found out what could have done it yet... need to check the fuses... but been busy on a BTR restore. Will try to do that this week and let you know... I'm guessing the ECU is toast...

Hey all, Just found out we have a Veteran's Day parade here in Richmond IN. We are just off I-70 on the Indiana/Ohio line. I'm going to put the M923 and the Mk48 in... the only stipulation is that every vehicle is themed to say thanks to Veterans and their families. The Date is Nov. 10, and...

Biff J Hey all, BiffJ and I will be there... course we live so close I don't think we'll be camping...

T62 Well we got her together today.. all fluids in and new batteries... And after all these years she actually started on the FIRST CRANK... Russian stuff is so tough... Unfortunately we then lost the oil return line out of the oil tank.. and had a geyser 30 ft. tall of oil... well had a...

Movie Company The movie company has / had a T-55AM... in fact I think its still for sale on another military vehicle site... I've never seen a T-62 anywhere, except the Bovington Tank Museum in the UK. Of course I haven't been to Israel or the Tank Museum Mecca... Russia... but have been to...

Acquisition Well I got her from another collector... as far as I know its the only one in private hands in the USA... there just aren't too many of them...

Pictures Yep! Truck driver said if he had a $1 for every picture and screeching tire of someone trying to snap a picture, he could have made the haul from the west coast to Indiana a free one! Wish he had... believe me!

Hey all, Well an old warrior came to her new home today... Syrian T-62 captured during the Yom Kippur war, during their drive to the Jordan River... Battle damage galore all over her... schrapnel, 20mm hit on the barrel, MG round hits... she's been there and done that for sure... We pulled...

Stinks Man that stinks! I hope there aren't any "reviews" deciding to cut these beautiful beasts... its already a horrible waste selling a .10 on the dollar like new units... We can only hope! Good Luck... I'm hoping to pick up another myself...

Thanks Yeah we always shut down right to avoid this problem... but perhaps the battery change did something... Where can I get a new ECU if that is the issue?

Generators I have two excellent condition 15KW generators... on trailers... these are 400 HZ so only for lights or parts... I bought them to run the lights in my vehicle barn, but the local power company gave me to good a deal to not wire up... $700 each... we had both running before we put...

Good Questions Good Questions... Yes she was running, in fact we did a 150 mile memorial escort just a couple months ago, no problems. The ABS and she ran perfect. Dave
