Thanks. I'm looking for the "Bat Wing" style. My M944 came with the canvases but no poles. Our county C.E.R.T. want to use the M944 as an onsite HQ/communication station. I am going to fabricate the poles. Unless I can buy the poles somewhere. any suggestions?
I downloaded the TM trailer version of the M944 for the tent setup. But I'll be darned if I can find it. I can't find the posting pointing to the TM number either. Can somebody help me with that?
In my humble opinion and with a lot of experience in other than military vehicles I would check fuel pump output by simply disconnecting the fuel line at the carb and turning it over and watch the fuel flow into a container. Flooding may be a bad float and needle valve assembly in the carb...
The MOG took a hit on the left side sometimes in her (him, it) life. The left rear fender and step was bent. Pretty much all I the stuff I used to straighten the fender came from the M944 and trailer. The square tube is from the laundry trailer roll bar. The hydraulic porta power came from the...
I just uploaded a bunch of S.E.E. TMs. Before the finger wagers attack you I suggest reviewing the TMs especially the operators manual.
Evidently I got so busy fixing the A.W.D. I forgot to take pictures. The first position of the switch is to engage the A.W.D the second position is the diff lock.
My S.E.E. wouldn't go into All whee drive either. Crawl underneath and follow the front drive shaft back to the transfer case. You will see the arm that move for and aft that engages an internal coupler on that is on the other side where the front drive shaft goes in to the transfer case...
clamp on flag staff
I'm not big on welding stuff onto my baby. I fabricated some clamp on bumper flag staffs. The actual clams are "Beam Clamps"that can be gotten from Fastenal or WW Granger. also note the fold down 20' flag pole. I used the roof top lifting ears as pivot points.
Selected pics
Attached is the link to my sky drive with selected pics. There where over 1,200 pictures taken. I fabricated a roof top collapsible flag pole for The M944. The guy in the black shirt and cowboy hat is a reporter from the Speed Network. He is interviewing my friend on the roof of...
Lets not forget the M944.
BTW How do I find information on setting up the tenting that surrounds the vehicle? Can't find anything in the TM's. I have the canvases but no poles. There are pole placement placards on the bat wing doors but nothing on setting up the canvases. Our "County Emergency...
Is there a good process to gently strip the layers paint off the of paint to uncover the markings? I would love to display the markings actually used on the vehicle.
The M944A1 will be in the parade and the static display afterwards. She will be paraded and displayed with the Bat wings open showing the "Planted Rifle with Helmet" memorial and other items.

This years NASCAR's Charlotte Coca Cola 600 theme is "Veterans appreciation ". The "Veterans Service Corps of S.C." is participating. There will be a Military Vehicle ceremonial lap during the playing of the National Anthem before the race. You may recognize at least one vehicle. Hint, check...
