    Spotted an M37

    Saw this truck in Branson Missouri this week, it sits right on the stip about the middle of town.It is part of a sign for a bar and if you weren't lookin you could miss it easy enough as the bushes around it have grown pretty high.It is a 1953 and looks like it served with civil defense and the...

    Best oil for M151a2

    Wondering what some of you guys here run in your Mutts, back when I drove them in the 80's we used 10w30, and I know the Army switched to 15w40 in everything in the 90's, any suggestions for best engine oil? Thanks

    Saw two halftracks

    While on vacation last week I saw these two half tracks at the museum at Ft. Lewis Washington, the museum has been undergoing restoration for quite some time and is only open one day a week right now so I was unable to tour the inside.Most of their outside displays are fairly common vehicles but...

    A 416 followed me home today

    Pretty decent trailer overall, 1966 Johnson Furnace.No rust in the bottom as it has been full of greasy automotive parts for the last 10 years or so.I plugged in the light cable and the lights still work, couldn't even feel it behind the 1008.

    M102 howitzer wheels

    My friend picked up 3 brand new M102 howitzer wheels with new tires, I understand these have a double bead, probably for the weight of the gun.Any problem with runnin these on an M151a2? I ask this because a friend of his told him you couldn't, I can't imagine why it would be a problem.

    New mule hauler works great

    Picked up this M116 genny trailer to haul the mule on and it works great, when coming up the ramps you have to climb over either the left or right fender(your choice) but it works out pretty well.I got this generator trailer cover at my club's annual rally this year, I believe it is for the next...

    M1008 upgrade

    I am gettin the 1008 ready for my club's anual rally so I decided to go with a top this year.I am pretty sure this top is really for an 880 but looks like it will be a go, sure is tight but it has been folded up in a barn for years, I got it from a neighbor who was in the guard back in the...
