I work for an electrical utility, I wonder if i can score transformer oil too! :razz:

It's guess its about time I buy a USMC vehicle since I'm in the Marines too! ;-)

So what's the latest news? anyone use Mineral Oil as a fuel yet? I found this bit from wiki: Firespinning Mineral oil is the main fuel used by professional firespinners and firebreathers. It is chosen for its high flashpoint and low burning temperature. As a firebreathing fuel it is ideal...

It took about 2 months to get one for my 5 Ton. It took about 14 months to get one for my M100. What's complicated? seems simple enough to me. The Historical Vehicle plate gets you out of a load in taxes, fees, and regulations.

I found this out in the country. It looks like some sort of WWII USMC trailer. I've never seen something like this. But I can see a MC in yellow peeking out. I can only guess it's some sort of a 1.5 Ton trailer. It's taller, but not as wide as my M116A2. The axle and suspension certainly doesn't...

The first thing you should do is flush your radiator! It's easy and it's cheap. There's a joke in there somewhere...

Comrade! Get yourself over to the www.red-alliance.net website

I can get you the parts you need in a few weeks here (month at the most), if you can hold out.

When I was removing CARC camo paint chips from the rusty hood, I discovered that under the camo paint, the hood was semigloss OD, with a yellow nose. Thus I HAD TO paint it back that way... That yellow nose carries with it historical significance! I pride myself to preserving the history that...

Since I reenact different units, I put on bumper numbers in a temp spray on paint (Duplicolor's CarArt), so the rain has already washed it off.

You cab bows are barely visable in that photo, like they're too low. That's my 5 ton. I've already sold the camo top and put on a canvas top, but I just don't have any photos of it handy from this last year. :roll:

DUDE! My girlfriend and I are driving to Colorado in a couple of weeks. Does this M1031 run? we could drive it out to you for a small fee! email me at aaronhorrocks at hotmail dot com

Industrial Nameplate. But there's two companies by that name. They did a great job on these things, other than those couple mounting holes being a little off sideways. And I should have mentioned these still have a transparent film on them so they look a bit fuzzy and gray in the photo. When...

Okay, now I'm selling them! :-D http://www.steelsoldiers.com/trailers/33687-m1061a1-data-plates-set-sale.html

M1061A1 Data Plates Both the Data Plate, and the Tie Down/Loading Plate is being sold as a "set" here. My M1061A1 was missing data plates, so long story short, I had these reproduced from photos and measurements from another trailer. Unfortunately a couple of the mounting holes are a bit...

It looks like you're missing the cab's top bows It should look a little more like this http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/3108/1107ophacbaom52a2003380vo7.jpg

Also, here is one for sale: For Sale- Army Mule M274 - 1919a4 forums

I had to start buying whole new SETS of tools to work on the 5 ton. (That's getting expensive!) And I have to find some specialty stuff and order this and that. The shear scale of things on this truck is overwhelming - much larger than the 2.5! :|

The Differences between a deuce and 5 ton are huge. Unless you're ready for a 5 Ton, you might want to start with the deuce before making the next jump to a 5 Ton.

I kick myself for not saving the photo of an M35 "gun truck" that buckled under it's own weight. :roll:
