I think ,like others, that sometimes you are not sure what to expect as to what the situation is with dunnage when you pickup. However, just last week I made a pickup and I had an A+++ experience from the front office people to the forklift operators. From my experience, some lots are rather...

Howdy and welcome from Colorado! Good work with the VFD. Are you a member or just a good samaritan?

Well you certainly have torn into it already. Thanks for the pics. Very interested in your progress.

I had a similar problem with oil out the exhaust. I would start it and idle it frequently but never really drove it hard. This last year I moved and she came with me towing a M146 as well. No oil out the exhaust. Lots more work to be done but I need to get my barn built. Great to see you...

I'd be in for 4.

I seem to remember something about with the truck idling in 1st gear, 6 wheel drive, winch pto engaged and on 1st layer the truck would not overdrive the winch. In other words, on dry land under normal traction, the winch would reel in about the same speed as the truck would move forward? Am I...

Howdy and welcome from snowy Colorado!

Also you might want to go thru the new member process on this site if you want to join some of the discussions. Even if your not a military buff you might have something to add to the discussions. We always enjoy odd "military" vehicles such as this.

I believe it is an aircraft handler. On ww2 and later they used them to shuffle planes around mostly where deck space was limited. Planes were stored above in loft space or hanging from the ceiling inside the hangar deck. Especially if the plane was battle damaged or not working. I believe...

The gin pole version is a lot harder to use. The hiab makes picking and setting so much easier. Longer reach too. The only thing that would help the HIAB is a crane cable on the end. It just seems like loads might get a bit bouncing when fully extended. I suppose I best not hijack this...

Looks like this is your first post. Welcome from Colorado!
