    Ural and Tatra next to the T34s

    Duncan, I stand corrected. When walking there, I saw something on the front that looked like Tatra. Did not pay too much attention to it. I now looked at the originals of the pictures I posted here again, and you are absolutely correct. This first two pictures are the truck I saw, the third...

    full size from avatar thumbnail

    Sometimes, people have very intriguing avatars or interesting vehicles in the avatar, but you just can't make out that little detail you would like to see. Is there a way to see an avatar in bigger size? Or maybe have a clickable avatar in our public profile that gives it full size like a...

    Ok, The Mystery Continues

    Those are the problems I really hate. Not the actual problem but not being 100% sure what it was, knowing that it was a problem that can lay low and then suddenly jump up in a few secs, ruining your engine - and your day - pretty darn quick. Logic says cracked head, but it would give me a...

    1939 Artic Cruiser ?

    Count me in What about a submarine recovery vehicle :mrgreen:. Almost certainly it's on the bottom of the ocean. Otherwise, a metal-finding satellite scan of the place would be nice so we know where to start looking.

    1939 Artic Cruiser ?

    Runk, I saw your links of that Antarctic snow cruiser site. They went out on the ice with SLICKS? Big town science types never been on a farm or what? Even then they knew that good profiles are needed for good traction. Dr. Poulter had been out on the ice but then again, they mainly had to...

    Just posted the pics on the Ural and Tatra of this guy in the Russian and East-Europe section

    Ural and Tatra next to the T34s

    Not sure on what this fits: either the Tatra or the Ural. Then again, might also come of a Praga V3S.

    Ural and Tatra next to the T34s

    And two Tatra's. Different types, no details. I hope that the Tatra and the Ural will come to our event, if we will manage.

    Ural and Tatra next to the T34s

    Are you in a hurry: don't take this truck: the second Ural under wraps. They probably are the equivalent of a 10-ton?

    Ural and Tatra next to the T34s

    This guy has some serious tracks in his garden. And some some nice wheels as well. Thought I will separate them. Here are the Urals. On the front left fender was written VRAA (on both trucks). Any idea?

    Can you legally own a functional T34?

    Jokes apart, when did that happen? Probably five or more years ago? Over the last years, prices on this kind of stuff have exploded. Nobody is talking below $ 4 K anymore. Check this: $ 4,500. They guy of the bazar is selling something the same, (maybe even be it) but without mentioning price...

    Can you legally own a functional T34?

    Sometimes, I really really am getting very tired of these little pin pricks life is dealing you with a funny hand. EZFEED, I checked your vehicle, found an interesting group here and find out that there is a meeting planned that I definitely want to go to, talk with people, show pictures and...

    Can you legally own a functional T34?

    Well, this one in parts might be easier to import and not too expensive :mrgreen: Personally, I'll stick to the 5-ton M39 series :drool: (although a different gearbox would be nice, like an 18-speed one maybe?)

    Can you legally own a functional T34?

    Getting our dump truck ready and to our museum is already over our head, let alone even thinking about owning his junk yard. We will invite him to the 10-year anniversary or a special MV event we might organize this summer I will ask about the functionality next time. As to owning that...

    Can you legally own a functional T34?

    And then some. The very first pic with the shield has another crane standing behind the Ural. Not sure and I have to look the next time, but it might actually be the same as this one but repainted. A lot of NCO's and officers went into early retirement, keep working in a new job and keep their...

    Can you legally own a functional T34?

    I am not sure what "demiled" actually amounts to: pour concrete into the barrel, remove the firing mechanism? Anyway, maybe for export, but at this moment would not bet on it, might actually be really and fully functional, would depend on when he bought it. This is the Czech army selling...

    Can you legally own a functional T34?

    He tells everybody he is using these Tatra's to earn his daily living. I think he just has them to have something strong enough to take out the engines and take off the turrets of his T34s.

    Can you legally own a functional T34?

    They started to restore this tank. Than, as the guy told it, his sons decided that they actually wanted to spend their time on building a house to live with their families than continue rebuilding an old tank. Can you understand that? :-D :???: So the engine is OK already, standing in a...
