army ranks. No warrants. Speaking of which, they -are- special.

we will have our own food and camp stove but ditto on the community BBQ. also will likely be camping (sleeping) there.

Pics of the "M8109", an 818 with a M109 box, lift gate, and onboard kabuto-powered diesel genset. The ultimate utility truck is in the works.. Great projects take years. Or money. This is a Brotherhood of American Diesel Fitters project. This is the replacement for the previous truck, and...

Is Yanmar a Chinese engine? I keep seeing the name as an engine in inexpensive generator sets. Anyway, it ought to have a tag on it somewhere.

The voltmeter can be checked by opening the control panel and checking the voltage across it. It ought to be the same as indicated on the face.

ok so let me get this straght.. that beast is "too small to be of use"?? sheesh. Well good looks like she has got a cushy home and easy retirement now for her golden years where she will bring enjoyment to many people. I love old machines like that.

I love to hand-repair items in that way. Great job!

Good job on the repair. Many people would have just tried to find more parts![thumbzup]

Beware waste motor oil that has not been personally processed. A member here used some that was filtered by the provider, but still had anti-freeze in it, and it ruined the engine during a summer trip with his wife across New Mexico. During the attempt to repair and get the truck back on the...

Welcome from Dallas! You can't go wrong with an M35. It is the most truck for the money.

I have always liked them and for collecting would prefer wheeled armor so it could be driven, but a prerequisite is one with a closed top deck, to avoid further water entring; I use a lot of electronics and would also attempt to air condition it. Insulated cloth batting on the inside would make...

Here is a very simple hitch that I made and pics and some dimensions to show what was done: Dual Trailer Hitch for M35

I'd posted earlier that the M109 box had wood in the walls. This is apparently wrong as according to everyone else they all seem to have fiberglass insulation or nothing? Anyway, the one I had seen at the time - I am guessing someone had put plywood inside, maybe to hold some heavy piece of gear...

It makes a lot more sense to register it properly according to the use than to do otherwise and hope to avoid imperial entanglements. While it is each person's duty to pay as little tax as possible, Steelsoldiers does not condone the evasion of lawfully applicable taxes.

What of the aforementioned question of 2nd gear spinning too fast on the shaft when the 5th OD is increased? Can you tell about any upgrades to that section?

I hope someone can offer enough to keep it from being scrapped. It would be a heck of a lakehouse toy.

So Tom, can the 5T transmission be next?

I figured no PTO required, a few salesmen in the back would be sufficient to do the spreading job.

That will be nice for display. Very cool. And best of all too heavy to steal!

6 pyros. I have always wanted my vehicles to have instrument panels that look like they belong in aircraft.
