Forget my last post, I have the live feed.
Don't know what it is, but twice I tuned into the live feeds (first Senate and now House), and both times I got dead bang into the middle of a sermon.
The easiest and quickest way is to buy or make your own 24 volt magnetic towing tail light bar. Make sure the cable is long enough for every eventuality (like towing another MV without lights).
A bit better and more permanent way is installing an extra 12 volt battery and load that one with a...
You can say that again (and again and again). I changed several of our domain emails because of that, but unfortunately, I cannot use any info@domanin.com and .org etc anymore; they are known and swamped with spam permanently. I do have a honeypot and some other traps installed to block the...
What about make a special sub-forum "vehicle history and historic preservation" as first sub-forum in each of the "period fora":
- Post-Vietnam to Desert Storm
- WWI and WW II Vehicles
- Korean War to Vietnam War vehicles
Or make it a separate forum under "General" or under "Restoration"

By the time you pulled the wind mill up the ridge with this monster, your "ecological footprint" (amount of fuel used and exhaust fumes added) will be soo big that the first 5 years the mill is only turning to cover that ;)
Something kept jumping in my eye time and again. February's winner is mentioned as an M920. I looked for that classification and the only thing I could find was that the M920 is an 8x8 MET truck, and looks different than this. So what is this?
Does your 314 has this system that the pintle is secured to the truck through a winch system so they can release the artillerie piece and winch it back up to the truck from the cabin?
The ya 314 I cannot remember seeing, from when I was young (early 1960s) I only remember the "dikke daf" (nick name, literally meaning the Fat DAF) with it's 8 wheels. That truck was really impressive, maybe I pushed the 314 out of my memory.
On the YA 126 and the 326/328, there are spare tires free-wheeling mounted on both sides, so when going over hills they help prevent getting stuck. The other DAF thread has an old army promotion video about the DAF trucks. The 126 and the 328 are on my wishlist. Glad to have somebody on the...
We have them as attraction for children because there is nothing to do here for them; all these old houses and historic stuff is sooo horribly boring.
The orange truck is an old type Tatra dump truck
The text on the left part is (more or less):
Westinghouse
serial number
Made in Germany
Daily drain oil
through working the button/knob
Tire filler
unscrew flyhandle bolt
and connect hose.
So probably the construction sticking out below the table is the oil drain knob, and the big knob...
