I searched the internet and came up with many choices for chargers and selected two 12v/24v chargers: NOCO Genius G7200 and a NOCO Genius G26000. I bought the NOCO Genius G7200, but if you can afford $200 the NOCO Genius G26000 is better. See the post...

just don't get personal. I bought an M109 deuce about 6 years ago with the idea of making a backwoods camper out of it. Many things have transpired to keep that from happening, primarily the fact that a non-turbo multi-fuel deuce can hardly pull its own hat off at high altitude, much less...

They're under a foot of snow, but I think I can find them. I have 3 new complete bows, pay it forward terms if you can cover freight costs from Denver.

I just spent an hour looking for one of my old posts on this site from about 18 months ago,but couldn’t find them. I’ll just give you the Cliff Notes version. In Nov. of 2011 I drove my M923A1 from Georgia to Texas where we left it for 13 months at my daughter’s place. In Dec. of 2012 we went...

Hey, you guys in Florida don't have winter; how can you have a winter rally?

The caption reads: A student driver blindly pulled out in front of a column of British armor that was cruising along a hardened road in the Lippe district of Germany yesterday (6-1-2015). A collision ensued and yes, you guessed it, the one ton Toyota Yaris lost the fight to the 60+ ton...

Who am I to argue with such esteemed authorities as the University of Maine? That is the coolest video I have watched in a long time, maybe forever! Did you notice that the guy(s) steering it in front of the boiler had no control over the throttle? I'd want it retro-fitted with an ejection...

That one is 1910; the very first was in 1905. I don't know why the URL won't post as a link. I tried to edit it, but couldn't fix it. If you cut-and-paste it into the URL line, it will resolve.

If it's a 62, it's probably a gasser. Ours were rebuilt in '67 before being shipped overseas. RE wicked off road, ours got used like VTRs because they were hard to stop, even with 5 tons of Bailey Bridge on the back.

Wow!! What a deep rabbit hole, following that link, then a link in that link, etc. I got lost in Gamma Goat Land! That Chevy (not a CUCV) on a deuce frame adds fuel to my fire, except one thing confuses me, did he keep the Chevy frame and just stick it on the deuce frame? If not, what is...

Other than driving the **** out of 2 M37s in the Army and a Tucker Sno Cat my dad had with the same engine, I'm not familiar with fixing problems on the engine. Flat heads I am familiar with, the Hurricane Six, often had timing chain problems. If you are going to all the trouble of pulling the...

I have a couple of M101s, an A1 and an A2; same bed, different axles and tongue. They aren't wide enough between the wheel wells for a sheet of plywood (4') and not quite long enough. You can't put up the tailgate by 1/8".

Is it a gasser or a diesel? In 1967 we had a whole line of those, bridges included, in the 15th Combat Engineers and they were gassers.

NICE project and well executed. I have been eyeballing a truck for its cab to put on my M923. My wife hate the truck and won't ride in it. The cab in your project is the same as the one I have been looking at and I like it because it has more of a nose than most vans. My reservation is can I...

The first tracked vehicle: http://www.douglas-self.com/MUSEUM/TRANSPORT/traction/traction.htm

I suspected the length of the hood and fenders had something to do with the engine. My Commando had the Buick 225 V6 which was short. Thanks for that clarification.

You seem to be more familiar with the different models of Jeeps, so I will defer to you. I was saying it was not a 5 because the 5s I was familiar with and my '70 Commando had a shorter fender where the wheel opening went all the way back to the end of the fender sheet metal. I looked on the...

Not a CJ5, I believe it's a CJ7.

Did you notice on both engines the cylinders rotates with the propeller? I think the guy with the oil can was lubing the rocker arms. In flight I believe they would get lubed by oil thrown up from the cam.

RE the Lancasters (I only get on this forum about once a week) I read a Readers' Digest book about flying a Lancaster during WWII, but I don't remember the title. To get as much altitude as they could with a full bomb load they would do what they called "climbing the stairs." They would go...
