The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. I add incompetence to that. The plan is to have local folks take over the fight as we bug out leaving them with war material. It never works yet we keep on doing it!!!! A general on TV actually...

You will be strongly encouraged to get acquainted with the site and go through the Tm's before asking for help:-). Having said that you will find that this site is much much more than just...

The picture was taken a couple years ago. Was able to coordinate picking up the M944 and laundry unit at the same time.

Just ending up a 3 day recovery Delaware To South Carolina .

What really scares me is the zero oil pressure. But I guess you find out sooner or later the engine is running backwards.

Just read this in the S.E.E. operators manual. I've heard of diesel engines running backwards but not caused by improper rate of speed or gear selection. Do they mean lugging the engine? "While loading bucket or pushing material, maintain proper gear range and constant rate of speed. Failure to...

To revue Andy3's recovery; Wallowed out Alternator pulley ( part run), cut/split air line (Lowe's) and blown compressor head gasket (tow bar).

When ever you do threading in the machining world you have to consider the classification. It can get very intricate. The classifications range from very loose to needing a tool just to run the hardware in and out. My guess that due to over tightening and/or excessive running in or out you've...

When I talk about "Steel Soldiers" I tell people It is a Military Vehicle Enthusiast web site. From now on I will be more acurate and call it a Military Vehicle Enthusiast and Support site.

called in the "A" team. Mighty Mouse theme song goes something like "Here he comes to save the day..." good fit. Here is the link to sky drive pics. I tried to capture the moments but didn't work out so well. You can't capture the sense of climbing up or going down a hill when you take a...

Andy found an alternator and belt in the Spartanburg area that we will bring with us.

Just talked to Carrie-Ann. Here is the preliminary plan. Gonna load up the tow bar and inter connect air hoses into her M923 and leave Spartanburg SC 5 AM tomorrow. If there is anything that we need to pick up along the way and need to route a certain way let me know. I don't have a smartphone...
