Don't know what to say apart from THANKS.

The little hammer you see on the smithy page is an Ajax 1a 35 kg spring hammer. What you see there is the historic forge that is open for public. Our son has a real workshop elsewhere in the forest, with two more spring hammers, a Beche 125 kg hammer, a more modern Russian 250 kg hammer and an...

Maybe the audio is a problem of how I converted the video from mov to mp4 using VLC. So if I have a video on my own website storage or amazon, and use the flv format, it should work? I just don't like youtube, that's all.

Welcome from nearby Czech Republic. If there is going to be a German SteelSoldier meeting, let me know. Although be sure, I will not come in the truck: that would cost about 400 EUR or more just in fuel (by private car about 90 EUR or less). Don't forget top put a pin for your location in the...

I have a three problems. 1) Can I upload a video and embed it in a post? I do NOT mean embed a video from YouTube or such, but my own. 2) I uploaded some videos to our own websites in mp4 format and tried to link-embed them in a new post here. Embed does not really work (I cannot make it...

Hopefully make that Friday morning in person. Does the 13/16 6-point fit the 13/16 4-point from the wheel nuts?

Other heavy duty stuff :beer:

Swamp Donkey, it's stupid but the bolt size and wrench size had me mixed up. Actually, that's the same in metric, so I should have just ignored the bolt sizes. You are right, but even here we use metric but for the drives we still use 1/4, 1/2, 3/4. Maybe because saying "I have a 12.7 mm...

NICE LOOKING TRUCKS ... That's all you can say ???? :wink:. I would say this is close to blatant sadism. Then again, seeing your avatar, :drool: you probably have at least on nice looking MV as well. Standard 5-tons and certainly deuces are relatively easy to find still in Europe...

I go a bit confused and crazy here when trying to find conversion charts for standard to standard, with differences between US standard bolt-nut size and wrench sizes. The problem is, you guys use strange measurements like 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 3/4. The US standard to metric converters...

I think the storms and the normal weekend surge of threads is pushing the MV thread too far down on the "new posts" line for people to realize its there. Maybe make it a sticky?

I crossed the Rubicon and joined the red team for once :clinto:. With tractors, I am always on the green team :jumpin: :tank: :mrgreen: (think agriculture: John Deere, and MV in OD) but this time .... After spending a few weeks pondering what to buy and where to get the $$, by pure luck...

Their 1 1/4 ton truck success story is actually almost a licensed copy of the not so successful but highly popular M715

I like the 1 1/4 ton truck, they shipped them also to Europe?

and a bump to keep this up top, maybe make it into a sticky for a few days?

Aw shoot, I was just planning on working my behind off to get my M51 ready for the October MV of the month. Now I have to find another motivation. Whatever. Great idea. Maybe put a big bowl during the GA rally out at the registration as well? This is not going to be solved in a few days!

Why not go the other way around? As mentioned in earlier posts, use a smaller car for close-up chasing, and a large heavy car to stay at the edges. Sounds like you are making something big top-heavy and slow even heavier but not really safer. We used an old European Citroen BX for...

Reading Dave Doyles appendix on coloring and marking and reading a ton of threads here, I realized my original ideas about which color to paint my truck were horrible naive even taking in account that the military never is known for its logic on important issues. I thought that at least...

Reviving the cordless impact wrench thread: which is better Reviving last year's thread because I am going to buy one, not sure which of the two. Current 1/2" cordless impact wrenches top models seem to be the from Milwaukee or DeWalt, as said here and elsewhere on the net. Milwaukee has...
