I worked with a company that used an old bantam that had running gear that looked exactly like my M211. What did they do for outriggers?? I don't see any or where any were taken off?
Gene, if you go to look at the M51 let me know what you think about the crane. If it goes fairly cheap I might go after it since it it fairly close and I need something for lifting around here. Since I would have to pump $700 into just getting it here plus whatever it needs, I can't bid much...
It's right in my area only 325 away. If it goes cheap, who knows. Shipping would cost me about $700 for it though. Wonder how much it would take to get it going again?
I am missing the A40 module in my PRC 77 and was wondering if anybody knows a good source on them. I have been going though a lot of diff suppliers and so far only one has one for $60. Seems a bit steep for one little part for a radio. I know that this is the module that they normally take...
What the heck did they do to those poor M211s? I'm still trying to figure out what the first one was made into? Kinda looks like something off of a MAD MAX film. I would love to have the combat rims, but Alabama is a bit too far for me to go.
Does anybody know how to get ahold of the guy? All I saw was a name and pictures. I live in SD and might be worth looking into. I saw an M1009 in the background too. Wonder who he is as I know quite a lot of MV guys in the state. I definately will not buy the whole lot from him. If he...
Well i'm sure that others will correct me on this, but 4" in the min. That is what I was told by my local ready mix when I told them the weight I was going to put in. I poured 5" thick in my shop floor for a little extra. You definately need to have rebar in it. If your existing doesen't...
I just bought my first prc77 radio and was wondering if any of you guys have a good source for parts and accessories. Mine is demilled by removing components, here is the web site on ebay with pics...
I was at camp ripley here in Oct, and they sure had a lot of nice trucks around in the motor pool. I actually was going to bid on the truck you won, but ended up missing the auction and i'm just happy that someone here got it and not a company looking to turn a huge profit. I think you will be...
I also have one of these units that I use. Like they said, you have to make sure the air is very dry because a little moisture in it will cause it to clog up constantly. It does put out more than my siphon unit, but I like my cabinet with vacuum to keep the dust down. When I use my pressure...
The main thing is to put in NON DETERGENT Oil. I buy mine from a local tractor supply store. The modern oils have a detergent additive to them, but older engines should use non detergent. I'm not sure what the main difference is on the engine side, but that is what several mechanics have told...
Looking at the pics of the M35 master cylinder, it looks exactly identical to my M211 one. Does anybody know if they use the same unit. I am trying to find a decently priced rebuild kit for my M211's master cylinder. If anyone has one to part with or knows where I can get a fair price I would...
I don't know the total weight, but I removed my engine with transmission attached with a 2 1/2 engine hoist. I took the radiator off earlier. It is very heavy and hard to roll the engine hoist off with the engine and tranny on it, but it can be done and done safely. The only warning is that...
