    Minimal towing rig for a 7-ton CRV(T)?

    I agree that it is a sobering thought to consider an accident is a one-piece rig and gives one pause, I think I could get enough heavy chain going to feel alright about it with the idea since it makes the total rig much smaller and lighter than going with a trailer, which should reduce the odds...

    Minimal towing rig for a 7-ton CRV(T)?

    Thanks for the suggestions. 25+years is a good consideration. A 5-tonner was my first thought but that and a trailer is really cumbersome to get up the road. I actually started to wonder about a MK48 I saw for sale locally but even a good deal on one digs into the wallet. The idea of an M125...

    Megasquirt Injection

    No help with the megasquirt. I ran an early version of the Holley on a AMC 360 where I saw a large jump in mileage and felt it worth the money but more recently I did a Holley Pro-jection TBI 1-bbl kit on a flathead-6 jeep and wish I hadn't. It provided good cold start and running and somewhat...

    CVR(T) FV103 Spartan VS. Hotchkiss 22-2 Schützenpanzer help

    Thanks for the feedback. Found a couple parts vehicles for the French (as opposed to many dozen for the British but still) and happy to do a re-power in the larger engine bay of the French so not as dire as all that but point well taken. Good tip on the Ford motor, nice to have an option. I...

    CVR(T) FV103 Spartan VS. Hotchkiss 22-2 Schützenpanzer help

    So, trying to decide on my first tracked vehicle and thought I'd throw it out to the community for input... I went to the Littlefield auction and while I was too slow to move money and throw caution to the wind I did get a chance to sit in some nice armor and get the itch. I came away thinking...

    Minimal towing rig for a 7-ton CRV(T)?

    Mine sounded fine and had good compression but was a total dog with any meaningful weight in it, put a ton in the back and loaded sand trucks would pass me. 1953 REO it was that I basically gave away after the brake booster went, being young and foolish, sigh.

    Minimal towing rig for a 7-ton CRV(T)?

    I'm shopping for a british FV10something so 17' long and 7-8tons and am located in CA. What are my towing options? I'm tempted to look for something old enough to count as a collector car for regestration but I also live up a really twisted mountain road so something with some cornering...

    found some tanks in the weeds today

    So, in the intervening year did somebody have a good look at these or buy some? I'm in the market for a CVR(T), likely a scorpion, spartan, or sabre but open to whatever comes along.
