Back from the work weekend - had a great time and got some important work done on the boat that has been needed for some time. From what I heard from the chief of the boat, it was one of the most productive work weekends they have ever had. About 30 people showed up and a lot of wrenches...

The engines are Fairbanks Morse, 4 each, and each one is a horizontally-opposed 10-cylinder diesel. They are close to the same type as used in FM locomotives. The Navy said we could restore the engines to operational (just don't turn the shafts), but we are missing some engine parts to get...

This is the only big work weekend this year. Doesn't require full commitment, even half a day is appreciated. But there are a few local folks who are there every Saturday morning to polish a couple things and keep her nice and neat. Will take pictures tomorrow.

Please check out the site rules, direct links to auction sites or sales are no longer allowed.

Those are important, don't cap the line or remove the line, the axles need to breathe. Offroaders who go in a lot of water take those lines and semi-hardline them in so they aren't as flexible as rubber hose, and usually bring the line up on the firewall, then make a "U" in the line so the open...

Will be at the Rausch Creek rally that Saturday. But have a great time, fellas.

Check my location vs. your location - might help you or not having me tow back to my place. I can take a day off work and make the tow, just going to be a long ride (about 7 hours round trip) so 17 mpg, you figure out the bill for the tow. Willing to do it - I have other stuff I can do down...

If it's not too bad, there are many types of glass polishing compound out there that you could use with a buffing wheel, but you have to be REAL careful to prevent over-buffing and damaging the glass. Might help to get a pro to do it.

I might be able to help haul it a lot closer to you in WV, but the gas bill might make you queezy. How big is this trailer?

Well, the rally has grown since the turnout at the beginning: Fall RC rally 2007 attendees: No.2Diesel and his brother Rob: M35A2 and M819 wrecker crane (post often, but not at rallies) FormerNewMVGuy: M35A2 (Scott said he "doesn't want to hang out with anymore f'n kids") :) MadDawg308: M35A2...

Is this shelter on a truck, or separate? If on a truck, and that truck is in good running order and decent shape, then $3000-4000. If it's just the box you're looking at, maybe $500-750.

I second what Angus said. It's gonna be a lot to restore what you have into a cargo truck - just trade it for what you want. I'm sure it will be easier than you think to find an interested person here!

I was hoping someone here from SS would save that one! When I saw it, the auction site didn't have the pictures up yet. Anyone have a few?

I hear you, PaFarmer - nothing against Joe at all, he's done a great job trying to keep it all together, and it's worked out well. You're probably right about me being the long distance person, but 3-1/2 hours in a civvy truck ain't bad. Can't wait for the rally!

Do a search on here for the term "M48A2", a user here took a deuce and made a clone of an early tractor model called the M48. It was standard deuce wheelbase, unlike the M275 tractor which was SWB. He did a very nice job, but I think all he had in mind to haul was light loads. I would NOT...

Two factors here: The big one is not RC related - I go to lots of shows, car shows, offroad rallies, hamfests, etc. Every single venue is off by a wide margin in recent years. Noone has any spare cash laying around anymore to enjoy their hobbies as much as they used to. Even the big SS...

Too legit to quit!

Noone? Boy in past years when I mentioned this event, I at least got a couple people who wanted to go but had previously scheduled things going on. This year, not even a peep. One of these days I'm gonna not be the only Steel Soldier in attendance. With the number of SSers in the...

That's a slick setup Tigger! Waterproof and tactical, gotta make something like that for next field day....
