    Well how about that. The Alberta Dragoons are one of the groups that hang around our G749 farm playing with deuces...

    Runaway!

    Is this a poll? Sorry you had to go through it but if nobody gets hurt it's just experience so you're good. The poor guy that was operating my 3 yr old S330 monster bobcat sure got a scare sitting right in front of a Bobcat engine that ran away on him....while I stood next to it. Our screamer...

    oA little ferret story

    You're welcome. I get to hear the Rolls Royce once in a while so I'm kinda fond of them. Quiet on the outside, noisy on the inside. It almost looks like 591 is on the right and for certain 590 is on the left so 589 can't be far behind. The fellas over at this private site provide the education...

    oA little ferret story

    That is an education museum piece, just beautiful. Locking the story down in writing is important. Do you have any videos of it running? I was looking through pictures and came close to your numbers but haven't found them yet. Here are a few historical pictures thanks to A.S. D.C. and D.M...

    Going to other Countries with an ex-milatary vehicle?

    In 2012, an MV fleet showed up in Canada from all over the continent, Texas, Florida.....and a few other places. We followed them to Dawson Creek where they departed on the MVPA ALCAN tour of Alaska. Here are a few videos of folks making the difficult trip north, look easy. The toys and wheel...

    Going to other Countries with an ex-milatary vehicle?

    We're all good up in Quebec now. It was ridiculous for a while but once the voices in the choir started singing and didn't stop, MV's became more than welcome. Come North, Canada keeps the trucks running cooler. Adding screens over the radiators to keep the mosquitos from pluggin' them up...

    M135 S and M Build

    """"""another Milwaukee tool """""" Milwaukee tool co will be happy once you're done. I'd write them a letter with a link to your thread and get them to sponsor tools to you with advertising on your youtube channel. John Deere gives the millennial farmer tractors and toys so it wouldn't hurt...

    G749 preservation

    It's MV fibre, More Vegetables.....and five different flavours of potatoes. Red, white, yukon gold, purple and a funky strawberry interior unit. It's crazy watching this old Ferguson drag these big disks around. The brother wasn't watching the plow on the way back to the barn and it...

    G749 preservation

    This will put some youth in your step. If this ole' girl can climb hills, you still can. The new Duramax M211 owner hadn't driven the deuce before so I let him try it out. You facebook kids can hear a young Duramax run in an old 1955 GMC 6x6 M211CDN right here...

    Former M220 shop van?

    I just noticed something under the cab..........Is that a second heater? That's a second heater under the cab just like mine!........I gotta see that dash. If the control box is still in there you have a rare gem with two gas heaters. You must be in north north north Alaska. The fender heater is...

    Former M220 shop van?

    That's a fantastic first post Early Deuce photo and a big welcome to Steel Soldiers. Pictures are always helpful and we need to do some digging on the M220. There's a number on the front passenger frame rail next to the shock mount, hiding behind the passenger tire. It should match the data...

    MV illegal on highway in Canada (Quebec)

    It's smelling like roses in here. There are more details to come but essentially the restrictions have been lifted and Transportation Quebec is turning the clock back a year. Engineers, MV collectors and government will get it together and continue to find a simpler way to bring the MV hobby to...

    Extend My Membership

    Is there anything new with paying memberships since this January post? My calendar says I owe some doe so if things are automated or simply simple, I could catch on and pay some dues. Besides, it's time for a membership drive and some thoughts on how we move forward, onward and up.

    M135 S and M Build

    Think? You mean critical thinking right? I think the A minor chord goes nice with F major and if we add 2 more chords, like G and C, we have a 4 chord song. It's simple, the path of least resistance and since I only have 480 minutes in a day for thinking, it's the quickest think I have. Here's...

    M135 S and M Build

    I've been trying to lay down some unscripted videos but it's tough. With the human brain having the ability to understand hundreds of words per minute, the delivery speed, pitch, tone, inflection, everything needs to click to pass the approval of many. You'll never please all the critics...

    Runaway starter

    Hey, you're new here! Did someone pour you a beverage and show you where the fridge is? Welcome aboard, the guys with the food trays will show up soon. Troubleshooting after all that work would cause a fella to drink so let's hope you're almost there. I pulled starters and replaced them when I...

    I like planes.......Is it a new Texan? The Texan 6 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beechcraft_T-6_Texan_II#/media/File:T-6A_Texan_II.jpg looks like a Canadian CT156 Harvard. Let's hope it ends different. https://www.flyingmag.com/technique/accidents/rcaf-training-flight-ends-ejection/

    G749 preservation

    You spotted that with the potatoe cam photo? That's some soils skills. It's mostly native grey soils on the hill tops and 4' of black sedge peat and organics in the valleys. I sneak the odd bucket of black out of the valleys when I can and added a bit today. From green Mv's and golden sands to...

    G749 preservation

    I had a camera battery go bad so I missed some opportunity for video but I got a feeling we'll get some yet. Meanwhile, imagine the sound with the disk on the back of the 1950 Harry Ferguson cultivating past MV's. We're struggling with the 3-point hitch trying to get it to lift but I followed...

    GMC m135 rebuild

    Thanks for getting that pic up USMC. I wasn't sure you kids down south had the same punch marks down there and you don't. I'll get pics up but we're 9 digits starting with 1135XXXXX You boys stamped M135 right in the frame then added the digits behind .....XXXXX Sooooo.....when you register...
