Hello Team. Anyone interested in lighting up your MV's for the Tractor Parade? I think this will be our 4th year. We would most likely meet at my house, in the alley around 1400. Bring your converters and generators and all the lights you can find. Put all the lights and Christmas decorations...

Put another document box behind the passenger seat on the 923. It was a bugger getting hole alignment scribed out for drilling. The added weight really wasn't that much. And it will be nice to have one more small storage space in the rig. Watch your hole spacing so you don't come in on the...

When you say rear running, do you mean your constant tailight? No turn signals, no flashers? I played with that issue a couple of weeks back and it ended up being the turn signal switch. Grounds on taillight cans were cleaned, all wires were pulled, polished, and greased. Bulbs were swapped...

Mike, that looks like a somewhat similar product to JB weld. I have considered using the JB but was concerned about how the paint would affix to it. I would say our Gama goat wheel is the same as in the M54. At least it is the same style as mine. One of these days you will have to have a...

What was the product you used to fill the gaps in the steering wheel? Your wheel looked better than my 923 wheel and I have pondered on doing such a repair. Will be interested how the painting goes on the wheel as well. P

There used to be a WW2 Navy jeep up this way that we would see at some of the displays. He had an 1/8" thick steel hood. Story was that they would use it as mobile scaffold on the carrier deck so the guys could stand on it. It was an interesting and useful modification. Other than that, it...

Did it run with the old condenser? You might try putting it back in, if so. With the small electrical components, new does not necessarily mean okay. I have had this problem 3 times with jeeps. One time I had replaced with the gold plated condenser, couldn't be the condenser, I bought the...

You might also swap your condenser. This is a cheap test, probably less than 5 bucks. Fought that on the M38A1 last year. Had great knowledgeable minds look at it. Finally called Mr. Wizard, he asked if I had tried a new condenser, and that was about the only thing that hadn't been changed...

Think I forgot this one or can't find the thread. Tomorrow, 14 NOV, Olympic Flight Museum military display and show. 1000 - 1600. If you bring a truck, there will be some parking immediately in front of the Museum. I am taking the M923. We can't park in there till after 0900. This is to...

The weather was a bit nasty for this one and various mechanical and health issues caused our participation to fall off this year. I took the 42 GPW and joined in with another group that specializes in WW2. Had to do a 70th anniversary tribute to the WW2 vets. We had one WW2 vet and a Korean...

Had three vehicles and the weather broke for the parade. 44 GPW, 43 1 1/2 Ton Chevy, and 84 M923. It was a nice small parade and appreciative group.

Well drat! I can't hardly find a parade closer for you to participate in. But we will keep working on it. 12 Dec will be the lighted tractor parade. We had 12 MV's last year. Would be happy to have you come up for that, bring the family. We meet at my house about 1400 are start decorating...

Time to bump this one up. The order of the day still goes. 1100 for the Service and 1300 for the parade. Lunch to follow. I am going to be there. Vehicle depends on the weather. May go to Olympia and take in their morning service at the State Capital and then head over to Elma. Check the...

Hey team! Saturday morning 0900 on H ST. Auburn. Hope to see you all there. we will be entry number 158. Send me a note or call if you have any questions. 360 870 0706 Peter

check the garage sales. You will usually find a good number 2, D handle shovel for 5 to 10 dollars. Also a good place to find a single bit axe in the same price range. But there are different curvatures in the neck of the shovels and that can make a difference in how the shovel rides on the...

0700 at Shari's in Lacey for breakfast and then we will head north. See you in the morning. Peter

14 November at 1000 they will be having a parade in Ocean Shores WA. They have asked for any military vehicles that could attend, to please do so. I did tell them that we work for food. This will be based in the Shilo Inn parking lot and the event will go to 11 PM according to their flyer...

Well... the 5T is a little longer, a little taller, a little narrower, and about 5 tons less, so would guess that we could say the Abbot is more full figured.

We will probably meet up at 0700, Shari's in Lacey for breakfast and then head up.

Time to bump this one back up. It is next Saturday. Looks like the 1SG, M923A1, Larry M 813, and I still haven't decided, depends on the weather, and maybe another M151A2 (weather dependent). It is a nice event and there are some really nice displays inside too.
