Years ago we bought an M923 from an Ebay vendor, which was an ex-GSA USFS disposal. The spring brakes never worked, but it seemed to stop fine. I finally got around to it and...yeah. Just...yeah. The spring brakes didn't work because, as per usual, they'd jammed on and someone at some...

Hmm. I wondered why GL seems to always focus on that on the dataplate pics. Good info. Thanks. I also didn't know the fleet had been speed limited at some point.

They did use the Trimpack, along with an assortment of others. Mike Murphy had the ex-military Trimpacks (still does, I think.)...I don't know if the Transpak was used. There are SLGRs on Ebay frequently. Might be worth a look. Like right now :) Search 'military gps'. Might even find one...

That's a big mix of a few different things...like someone's abortive custom amateur radio setup. As has been mentioned, there's two components to the GRC-206 system there and a bunch of other miscellany. Weird. Not sure why anyone would dive into those 206 boxes and remove/ alter bits like...

Before you drop the transmission etc., have a look on the opposite side of the bellhousing from the clutch operating rod. There you will see the setup for controlling the clutch from the back deck. I have seen *several* of these that have gone out of adjustment and have caused the clutch pedal...

Also, as teenmogger already covered, I'll throw in another vote for the British Clansman stuff as right now it's plentiful - it's first-class kit - and it walks and talks in the desired frequency range affordably. On the U.S. side, there were some reasonably priced first-gen RT-1439 SINCGARS...

Connections first, then Protective Control Box. I've had a couple of them fail on the 800s at work, and seem to recall another one where the box didn't seem to be grounding - but that was a long time ago.

Hahaha...that's hilarious! Wonder why 3D has jacked the price up so much? Someone start making 5200 series padlocks out of pure silver or something? Yikes.

Weird frequency range - 1.2 Ghz to 2.0 Ghz. When you look it up, the antenna comes back to being part of a system which bears a code rather than the expected 'AN/ABC-123' type thing, which makes me think it's part of a jammer in the Warlock Green family anti-IED category. At a guess. As to...

I've always wondered if tossing in one of those packed-with-equipment dessicant bags in any radio with the space for such would help solve the problem - or merely exacerbate it. I've had panel corrosion problems on stuff in the past too which you can scrape and clean and etch and repaint...yet...

AN/GRC-3 thru 8 stuff? RT-68, RT-70, R-110 -- that family gear? There's tons of it around. Fair Radio has the sets - there's a number on Ebay right now - complete AN/GRC-3 setups plus spares - and I've seen several listings featuring garages full of it at a "come and get it" price that almost...

https://www.fairradio.com/catalog.php?mode=viewitem&item=6758 They used to have it in bulk, too, and may still with a phone call.

That thing is soooo cool. I remember seeing some come up on GSA years ago but they were waaaay across the other end of the country from me.

Supposedly SEAL teams used the MX300R from Motorola first, and later the Saber R Secure. I've seen tons of military surplus Sabers but, as others have said, never any in 30-88 Mhz (most military surplus ones I've come across were UHF 403-433 split, and usually base security/ MP frequencies.)...

Murphy's price on DAGR is better than anything that's ever changed hands on Ebay (I keep track) and they look to be in better shape. There are tons and tons of power cables, antennas and mounts for them out there right now too on Ebay - especially Austin Aviation who list bucketloads weekly...

Teenmogger is correct. I think the worst match on the AS-3900 SINCGARS antenna is 2.5:1 - but the RT-524 and RT-246 will handle a match as bad as 4:1 without letting the magic smoke out. Plus, you get to ditch that mechanical tuning apparatus in the base of the older MX-6707 in the AS-1729...

You'll like the bigger engine vs. the XM (251 vs. 230)

Fixed it. Pics later, but the inner air seal was somehow deformed on installation - probably by someone using a punch or similar to seat it during installation - or possibly because the lip of the seal contacted the outer edge of the spindle under weight when they were reinstalling it. Either...

What he said ^^

Ha. That's hilarious, because my 2 am problem-solving-half-asleep-mode mind also thought there might be some PVC out there about the right diameter :) The boiling water tip is great - never considered that. It made sense to heat them in some fashion but SKF basically screams it from the...
