    M35 vs M36 or should I chop up a M36 to make an M35?

    M36's are rare, they were made to transport rockets, hence the dropside on one side only. Sounds like you would be better off with a bobbed deuce, with only a single rear axle on twisty trails. No deuce is going to be good on narrow trails. You would need to drop back to an M37 for that.

    simp5782 (aka: Wes) hauling my iron

    That only works for people that have actually met you - everyone else is looking for Johnny Carson in a costume.

    Vinyl cargo cover repair - loops

    I've repaired some with Shoe Goo after thoroughly cleaning the surfaces and making a large enough clamp by using some boards to keep everything flat for 24 hours. Getting the surfaces clean is the key.

    Tray Ration Heating System

    The Babbington Tray Ration Heater for 12 to 50 troops, or the unit shown in the KCLFF are the only ones I'm familiar with. The RAK-15 and it's slightly larger brother are out there, but not as common as before. They were built to go in armored vehicles for the crew to fix their meals, but they...

    Was STOLEN/FOUND !!!!! In Seattle area 1078

    Maybe they cut across a muddy field? But I agree, it's hard to lose something that big.

    Just got a MKT now have to find some missing pieces

    Those are the side ventilation poles. There are four holes on the sides of the walkways, one at each end and two evenly spaced in the middle. The poles go in those, sticking out about 18 inches or so. There should be corresponding grommet holes on the bottoms of the solid side walls. This...

    Tray Ration Heating System

    Babbington unit is different than the one provided with the original KCLFF, but achieves the same thing.

    RT-524 low transmit power

    He's using 6 meters, 51.000 Mhz according to what he posted. We need to know what antenna base he is using - The AS-3900 will not work well with the RT-524. The older MX base should be set for the 6 meter range manually and the control wires not hooked up since that's the only legal frequency...

    RT-524 low transmit power

    What frequency are you transmitting on? 6 meters? Is the antenna hooked up properly? Can you put an SWR meter in-line and see what the ratio is? When was the radio last checked into a dummy load? Are you using an MX-6708 base on a vehicle, or an AT-292 base station antenna, or a civilian...

    Need TM# for Multifuel Injector Pump Adjustment

    Look in the Deuce 'stickies' or the TM section, where you can download just about every manual and LO that you will ever need. I did.

    To blast or not .. and then what. Professional advice sought

    The zinc coating is for a 100+ year restoration. Using Rustoleum rusty metal primer in slightly rusty metal (wire brush on a drill) will seal things for your lifetime and probably beyond (Sto Lat), then you can use whatever paint you want as a top coat. Since much of the original paint was...

    MEP803a Saves The Day

    The design of my generator shed allows for a 55 gallon drum secondary tank plumbed into the MEP-003 through a concrete block wall, and tertiary 600 gallon fuel tank (pod) under covered storage beside it. We were without power for almost two weeks following hurricane Hugo (1989). The house is...

    Going to Florida

    First rule of disaster relief : "NEVER SELF DEPLOY" , always go where you are sent, by some group or authority, and have a way to check in with them every four hours or so of your journey (movement phase) to see if conditions have changed. There are literally hundreds of groups that work in...

    Michigan

    Find the BEHR paint thread and it will tell you the correct colors for the three color camo pattern. Then you will have to look at the camo schemes for military van trailers to get an idea of what pattern to use. Good Luck!

    new guy, old truck...

    If you get up Columbia way on a Wednesday afternoon (3 to 9 pm), get off at the Alpine Road Exit (Exit 76), take a left up to the top of the hill and take another left at the light.
