Glad to hear it, Ollie! I got a few nice ones too, I'll trade ya!

One thing I have, non-military, if anyone might be interested for their workplace or job, I have a Ridgid Model 300 pipe threading machine in good condition, the motor and everything works good and I gave it a fresh coat of grey paint, $800. Let me know if you're interested and I'll put it on...

One week left to go! Looked at the weather forecast - next Thursday-Saturday is shown to be lows in the high 40s, highs in the low 70s, and partly sunny the whole time. Looks great!

Sad to hear you are not going through with the build, Brandon. Is everything okay on your end? Hope you are well, and in good health and spirits...

Yes, take it! Wish I was closer, I'd snag it... First thing I'd check is the throttle cable on the governor, see if it's adjusted right for fuel flow when idle. Could be the throttle is open when running, but when idling it's dang near closed.

Noone? Wow, I thought there were a bunch of hams on here...

I dug out my R-390A that I was given a few years back by a friend of mine, I have to test it out and see how it performs. It's a beast, and not in the best condition internally, so it will probably need some parts and TLC. One thing I've been thinking of is I need to build a rack-mount audio...

Any idea of the closing price? Not that I could afford one, just curious...

Exactly. If enough balk at the new charges, and people stop bidding as much, then they might remove the fee. Vote with your money (or in this case, your bid). If you don't mind the $25 fee, keep bidding the auctions up. Your choice, your wallet, and it's pure capitalism at work. I don't...

I would replace them, even if they look okay. Old engine bolts that have any strain on them for decades, regardless of how nice they look, have internal stress that may not be evident by eyeballing them. Plus, your engine is apart now - wouldn't it be easiest to replace these fairly...

Yup - the jeep in the background is the CJ-3B/M606 with the F-head 134. They were used extensively in Vietnam by the South Vietnamese, and by our forces for putzing around the local roads. For tactical use, the M151s were pretty much all we used, with the exception of a few M38A1s. I have...

I'm looking at a M116 for a camping trailer for now, something I can tow to Rausch Creek rally and sleep in. I do not have to have the cover on during transport, so if' it's close enough for jazz, that works for my purpose. I'd like to see the pics as well.

I'll try sending him an email and see what he says, thanks for the heads up. There is a used one I found on eBay, for $450. !!! That's not happening.... I'm curious, these M116 trailers are everywhere, why are the covers so hard to find?

Jeeps are like Pringles. You can't just have one! Great save, even if you sell them it always gives a good feeling to find them a caring home with someone.

And some more for your enjoyment (or lack thereof)....

Patience is a virtue. Apparently most Steel Soldiers members don't have any. :) Didn't take any pics of the trail riding, but did snap some of the vehicles present at the rally. According to reports from Chuck B. who was taking care of registration, there were almost 70 people present, and...

That looks bad-ass!

That's a nice looking ambulance. It's a Dodge, AND it comes with it's own camping area in the back. What more could you want?

My first MV (which wasn't a trailer) I bought in 2004, and it was a M890. Yours is in much better condition than mine was, though, looks like you have a good start for getting it perfect. Would make a great truck to drive to rallies with a shelter camper in the back...

Does anyone know where you can purchase surplus (new or good used) covers to fit the M116 series of genset carrier trailers? These are like the M101 3/4-ton trailers, but they are flatbed with no metal sides, and the bows/staves are longer vertically. M101 trailer covers won't work, they are...
