    Thinking of buying a halftrack

    18K behind a 3/4 ton? That's not something I would be proud of or brag about. You will find that your insurance carrier will abandon you when you wreck and kill someone. Gross weight of an M-3 is 17,650. Add the weight of a trailer and you are towing ~20K. M9A1 is heavier at a gross weight...

    Thinking of buying a halftrack

    Emptyhead, I maintain big ZTR lawn equipment and also own a half track. They are a long way from a mower when you consider the tools and support equipment required to work on them. Think semi tractor. 10 tons. Moving them is the hardest part of owning IMO. You need to do it safely and...

    LOOKING FOR WW II 2 1/2 Ton OWNERS!

    No one, that I'm aware of but I know of many that enjoy their truck and use it as is until it can be improved upon. After all, it is part of it's history and heritage. That's where we differ. I will be using, having fun and enjoying this truck while you are busy arguing about some TM...

    LOOKING FOR WW II 2 1/2 Ton OWNERS!

    Um no, I can tell the difference between an all steel post war bed and a composite. Remember the important part here..... I've seen it, you haven't.

    LOOKING FOR WW II 2 1/2 Ton OWNERS!

    I have my first CCKW coming from out East in a couple weeks. A '44 353-A2 with a post war steel bed. Complete troop seats, racks and bows. Full canvas cab and cargo. 10 near new NDT's. Fresh engine that needs installing and all the usually missing trinkets on truck are intact. Needs a...

    In addition to 68t's numbers........ Autocar U7144T and White 444T's were classed as 4-5 ton, the Autocar U8144T was classed as a 5-6 ton. So I guess technically both would apply to your question. Anyway, here's some numbers. Autocar/White production numbers: 7144 ...

    Wouldn't an attempted fix be better than that time waster?

    Posting in Wrong Forum?

    Only one of the top seven threads here is pertinent. :? Even got one regarding a modern trailer..... Maybe this forum title is too similar to the one that these should actually be posted in, which is "5 Ton and up?" How about making it " Autocar, Ward LaFrance, Federal and other early...

    Posting in Wrong Forum?

    No apologies needed. [thumbzup] Just a bother sifting through all the M stuff for the occasional WWII truck info. I thought maybe I was misreading something here with all the modern stuff as the topic. Zat you Wendell? <<<<<< OK, there's one right there.......:beer: Sure, I'll go stick them...

    Posting in Wrong Forum?

    I saw "site improvement" and "website help." Didn't seem to fit either. And unless it's from someone who can actually do something, like a Mod...... I really wasn't looking for conversation, thoughts or opinions in the matter. That just causes useless stirring right?

    But a WWI or II.... 5 Ton?
  19. captain-crank

    Posting in Wrong Forum?

    Just wondering why so many of the posts in this forum are about M-series trucks? Isn't this one suppose to be for the WWI & II 5 Ton and Larger? Why aren't they in the Post Viet Nam/ Desert Storm Forum? Bet if I started up over there with some 1945 WLF truck stuff I'd get corrected fairly...

    volvo c303 axle parts-wanted

    FF That must be a fairly new site. I found it a couple days ago and then saw your post today. Waiting on a reply from them. Can you get any other parts for the 303? I need some miscellaneous interior and dash items and a few wheel studs and lug nuts. I'm also interested in your kingpin...
