    New V-100

    Now here is a good pull: Smart car with a Sherman Easy-Eight Actually we pushed with the Pinzgauer but it works great. The front hitch on a Pinz is real handy. Now the Smart car, who would have thought?:tank:

    New V-100

    We've towed with our M710 Pinzgauer lots of times. They roll pretty easy. Stopping is another matter.

    Federal Law only permits a vehicle to be 8ft. 6in wide. The only exceptions are farm and construction equipment like cranes. That would prevent an OT-90 for sure. Then the state laws would likely prevent it due to steel tracks. I am not aware of any rubber padded track ever made for the OT-90 or...

    How do I get rid of canvas mildew smell?

    White vinegar and water mix works great and does not leave any odor behind. Have used it on WWII tents for years.

    Real Sdk251 running under its own original Maybach power, first time in 60 years...

    M134 Minigun build.

    IRACinc already does an awesome Mk-19 and M-2HB. A M-134 is tougher than most realize. Good luck with it.

    A D-21, YF-12A and SR-71 are all at the USAF Museum at Wright-Patt

    SR71 Blackbird

    I might add, some of you are confusing the SR-71 Blackbird with the A-12 Oxcart. Of course similar, but indeed different planes with different missions and characteristics as well as history. Much of the A-12 program remains classified.

    SR71 Blackbird

    It is an A-12 on display at headquarters and it is certainly still there, as of last month.

    V100 mods

    Indeed, hard to find for sure. We paid $12K for a transfer case years ago from Jamaica and were glad to pay that. Luckily they are overbuilt.

    60- U1300's for sale

    Gotta have an approved ATF Form 6 for any military vehicle and parts.

    Steyr Puch/ MB G-wagon 230GE?

    They are extremely durable and off-road capable; well up to the task of being a military vehicle. For civilians, they are underpowered compared to their civy counterparts but not under military conditions. Like a Pinzgauer in that respect. Parts are very expensive but readily available. They are...

    Purchasing a M113 APC?

    Not only did it have a gas engine but it was not armored. It was just a transport variant. The value would depend on paperwork, variant, condition and would range from $30K to over $80K. An Italian-contract variant in excellent condition sold two years ago for $130K in MI. The former DuPont...

    Purchasing a M113 APC?

    Be afraid, be very afraid.

    Good tank news for NE

    The article is misleading, but considering the communist rag that it is, no surprise. Part of the collection will be going elsewhere on the East Coast and part will be sold off.

    Abbot Tank In Canada

    You would need an approved BATF Form 6. The barrel would have to be demilled to US specs, or maybe not permitted for import at all.

    Vietnamese Propaganda film

    The tire size is 14.00x20 so lots of options. The original Commando tires, however, have been out of production for years and hard to find. We use Michelins and Goodyears instead but NDT are also all over.

    Vietnamese Propaganda film

    It was not a propaganda film, only an army news report about the decision to modify their current issue V-100s with a number of upgrades. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNAcKgUmgkc
