    12v harbor freight solar battery charger

    This is a really old thread and a lot has changed since. What I can tell you is, in my research, the single best solar charger for a 12 volt battery is on your favorite auction site. It is 14" wide and white frame so you would need to paint it OD Green. It puts out about 17 volts in full sun and...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    After only starting mine once in the past year, and it sitting up all that time, i recharged the batteries to start it. Not that they needed recharging, but I wanted to be safe. It turned and fired right up, and I had to move it to the other side of my property, which is only 100' away. It sat...

    My 1963 M37B!

    Ugghhh.... If that means what I think it means.... I don't think we want to hear that. On my Base, the General has made it very clear. If it is in the dumpster, it is still USAF property.

    Parking Brake Lining Thickness

    In the interest of saving time, the Doghead link gave the answer from WillWagner as; Inner, .240. Outer, .232. Measured from a set of NOS loose linings. Dave from eastern surplus is selling one of these for $7 today. It is unclear if it is the inner or outer. Good luck.

    My 1963 M37B!

    On the tires, i needed some pretty bad as mine was being restored and I wanted some really clean tires. I kept my eyes out for some M101a1's which have the same tire size, and, the M101A1 is period correct, so it makes for a great companion. The M101A1's in this area, at the time, had some...

    RAPCO Spray Can paint issues

    Funny! I'm out back using the mixkwik now, where I bought it after reading this thread. I've had it for about a month now and used it several times already. It really works, but,.... be darn careful not to fully pull that trigger. It is not the best made tool and I'm afraid it might come apart...

    M35A3 starter

    The bears in this neighborhood have been reported dozens of time. Until there is a death or hurting of a human being, the Wildlife people refuse to do anything about them, and threaten those who offer to with heavy fines. They are more pro bear than people. There are so many of them they are...

    Bent tow bar ears question

    I have scrapped several towbars for less. It's always painful to let them go. If they ever looked like they were jacknifed, they went to China.

    Prices finally dropping.. phew!

    Oops! I missed the Feb.4 th auctions completely and after looking at the website, i can see prices are well down here too. Many just breaking above the minimum bid of $10k. If it keeps this up, they may have to lower the opening bid.

    M35A3 starter

    You have bear problems too? This was just outside my bedroom window at 4:30AM when I was down at Debary visiting my son two weeks ago. He has a 11 month old daughter and Wildlife Management won't do anything about it. Three bears are regular visitors throughout the neighborhood. Dogs are...

    New HMMWV owner....sorta....questions?

    I have a couple of HMMWV transfer cases. One is used in a case and dirty, unknown condition. One is refurbished and repainted silver and in a case for shipping. PM me if interested. Probably $400 for the good one, $150 for the unknown one. They are the original ones with ujoints, not the newer...

    Hmmwv on a trailer?

    That's a tough one, and it takes one smarter than me. I am a MV trailer whore, buying over 40 of them at one time. I never saw a military trailer that would make a good HMMWV hauler, but, that doesn't make it so. Most are just to darn tall, unless you have a tractor and get a lowboy.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month - January VOTE HERE!

    I love the very versatile M-37 completely redone several times by Storm 51. It is a Korea war era 3/4 ton pickup that we can all relate to and drive, with a top speed of 45 mph, but, it is a real rock crawler, and will probably pull your house off its foundation if you hook it up. It has so many...
