    Air-Assist Steering....

    I put the kit on my truck and if I remember correctly with the wheels pointing straight you need to measure the length of the tie rod to find the center. Operate the cylinder(by hand) to find the center point of travel. Put the centered cylinder on the center mark on the tie rod. When the...

    On my way to work this morning I noticed the local USMC reserve unit had a delivery waiting for them. The truckeers were not around so I was reluctant to open the doors to get some data plate info and interior shots. Here are the pictures

    106 RR progress

    I have been busy in the shop stripping the mule down and working on the 106 recoilless rifle restoration. Lots of cleaning up on all fronts. I cleaned up the barrel and found a piece of scedule 80 4" steel pipe to sleeve and join the halves together with. The cuts in the breech and muzzle are...

    Kennett Square Pa Memorial day Parade

    David, The 50 is only used for ceremonial duty on the back of the mule. I would never attempt to fire it on the mule. The 50 mount will probably be removed from my fun mule as the other mule will become the 106mm RR hauler.

    Kennett Square Pa Memorial day Parade

    The parade had a great turn out of green iron from the local pa club. The Marines had their flashy H3 there for all to see. I had my mule there with Ma Deuce on board. Enjoy the pictures!
