Firstnopics but that's why I'm posting it! On my recent trip to Poland (got in about 2 this morning) I saw a small kitchen trailer being pulled by an eastern block 'jeep', all for sale near the Czestochowa, Poland train station. My camera was packed in my luggage, so I had to wait till we...

I have been compiling info for use with the MKT and just wanted to let others know what I've found, so they do not duplicate the effort. Here is what is on the compilation (which is about 1.3 GB right now): Section 1. Catalogs and Misc A. Commercial Catalogs - links to commercial companies that...

Instead of making a camper out of my M109's, I'm taking a different tack. Mine will be rolling pantries for the kitchen trailer (AKA MKT-85), with a freezer, refrigerator, air conditioning, storage shelves and a small desk in the corner. I didn't take pictures when I started fixing things up...

A big thanks to Derek Taylor for delivering my newest Shop Van from Wreckerman's LZ. It's been a long trip - about a year since Richard picked it up at Redstone (brakes issues prevented it from being driven). Now the question arises, who owns the stuff Richard sent along with it? If he was...

Someone has a set of the older style nylon carry covers on e-bay, auction #390131976991 . They are not ther ancient canvas ones, nor the more modern vinyl type. The Nylon ones fade quickly in the sun, then tear. However, if you are restoring an MKT-85 or MKT-90 to original configuration, I...

Who has seen this before? Armorama :: M-1 Assault Breacher Vehicle

Well, since I'm a slow learner and a glutton for punishment, I plan on bringing the MKT to the 2010 GA Rally. In 2010 Wreckerman and I have decided that we will make up bag lunches for those going on the trail and try to have them available at breakfast time. We are thinking one sandwich (meat...

Well, Murphy must either be a late sleeper or Wreckerman and crew was keeping him busy. I got to Bragg and picked up the small parts of one of the shower units and left the big parts for Cabell to take to Graves Mountain when he picks up the M-200 trailer. Because the pics are too large to...

If you happen to be rolling along at a nice steady 2200-2400 RPM's and all of a sudden your engine make an unexpected clatter and loses power - look at your oil pressure! If it is zero, kick that puppy out of gear and yank hard on the fuel cutoff, then look for a place to pull over and get out...

OKC Auction Services came through again! I now have about 440 deuce LD-465 engine push rods, NSN 2815-00-899-8336 (push rod, poppet valve, engine). I'll bring sets to the next several rallys to see what kind of demand there is for them. PM me if you are interested in some.

Went to Ft. Bragg today to pick up my deuce engines in cans. Got some pics in the rain of a few items that may be of interest.

We (jwaller, me, and some others) need to get the M-75 APC from Missoula, MT to Columbia, SC. Mapquest says it's 2375 miles, mainly on interstates. Here's the catches: it weighs 42,000 pounds, it's 112 inches wide (think WIDE LOAD) and 109 inches high (think low boy, preferably with a front...

Visited John (JKS587) last weekend and thought the new civvy fuel filters he put on his vehicles would be of interest. Hopefully he'll pipe in and tell us all exactly who made them and other interesting details.

This is for MKT owners that are using the diesel MBU burners. Have you checked the gaskets on your MBU fuel tank? I recently checked one at the State Guard and found it was in poor shape (I'm being kind - it was cracked, split and hard as a rock). I have pulled a good one from one of mine...

I've got a pallet of stuff that needs to move east (to Columbia, SC)

Anybody here get the Water Truck recently at Ft. Jackson? I looked at it briefly today. GL rep says it is in good running shape, and it's probably a desirable variant. It is meant to spray down dusty dirt roads, with a small diesel motor to run the pump in the back and the swing out arms...

I have a lot at French Camp that needs to be picked up - weight 200 pounds, size about two foot cube, needs to be sent to Lexington, SC (if by mail or UPS) or to a loading dock in the Columbia, SC area. Any SS members going to French Ccamp this week? I can pay expenses, just have not been able...

Had a problem with my radiator last spring and got it rebuilt, no problems till late November. Then it started dripping, so we ran a pressure test, drove it around some, etc. No leak. Went to check on it again this morning, leaking again, but I had better light and looked to see where it was...

Anyone in the Rock Island, IL area able to P/U a pallet (abt 225-250 pounds) and prepare it to be trucked to Columbia. SC? GL only shows fasttrack logistics, and I would prefer not to deal with them (bad experience in mechanicsburg).

Anyone going to be at Ft. Sill, OK next week or the following week (Oct 6-17)? I have a realtively small item to be picked up. It's an MBU-103 - about 40-50 pounds that needs to be sent to Lexington, SC. The last time I got a quote on something this small from the LTL boys, it amounted to...
