    USMC Trencher going home

    Here is a few pictures from the other end that my friend at the museum sent over. The trencher touched down at 16:40 on the west coast. It got all unloaded safely and is in it's new home inside the museum to be appreciated by many. Ryan

    Hydrogen Generator

    Injecting hydrogen in to a diesel acts similar to propane. I have a customer that sells hydrogen generators for trucks and heavy equipment primary for the emissions reduction. The bigest thing he claims besides better emissions is the mpg.

    Another DUKW....I just could not pass it up

    The DUKW's are still my favorite ride to. I had to buy a duece because I just about doubled the original miles on my DUKW (the one in my signature) in the first year. When I got the brakes all worked out on that on it was my daily driver for three weeks straight. You could not pry me from...

    Another DUKW....I just could not pass it up

    Well of the six I have had this one and my other one I currently own are the best. My other one is all original hull no rust and the paint is over 40 years old and looks great. I hope to swim that one for the first time next month. Ryan

    Another DUKW....I just could not pass it up

    I will go try to get a picture. I took the DUKW shackels off and machined a set of 5 ton tow bar ends to go directly to the hull. I still need to make some bushings for the ends as the DUKW has 3/4 pins and the 5 tons are 7/8. Ryan

    Another DUKW....I just could not pass it up

    Clinto There is a bunch of great videos there I have never seen. I even found a colorized one with some of the DUKW's painted in the Iwo Jima Camo that will be helpful for the paint job. Here is a few more shots for you. Ryan

    Another DUKW....I just could not pass it up

    Well I have owned 6 to date but only currently own 2 at the moment. I just pulled it around the block with the deuce and it did pull good. I need to take it to AAA this week and I'll drag it behind the m813. I also picked up a set of towing lights for a hawser that I can hang off the back. Ryan

    Another DUKW....I just could not pass it up

    Well I did It again and could not pass this DUKW up. I believe at this point I am going to do a full restoration and paint her in the Iwo Jima colors. The hull has been sandblasted and painted but will require a few rust holes welded up. I hope to try to fire the engine this week it has been...

    New toy for the fleet

    I would highly advise not fiberglassing the hull it will just trap moisture and rust more. All repairs should be cut out and butt welded in my eyes. I also have Some parts avaliable if you need anything. If you need any advice or have any questions please feel free to contact me. Ryan

    New toy for the fleet

    Hi Quarkz Congratulations on your DUKW purchase. Which Dukw did you end up getting and where was it located? I purchased a copy of the manuals on ebay for I think it was $7.00 on cd. I also have the original manuals to. Ryan

    New toy for the fleet

    I have gone thru two nos rebuild kits already and the only bad part in them is the rubber cups. This suprises the heck out of me because everything else rubber from that era is great, I am even running 60 year old tubes in my tires because the new ones are junk. Ryan
