Is there anyone here that might have an example of the Bantam Jeep? Running or not, don't care about the condition. Just want to see what they look like. The reason is that we have what I THINK is a bantam out in the back 40. It is rough, but that's what I think it is and want to verify things...

Over the past year, maybe more, I have been working on some smoke grenade launchers for the Museum's M551. It is outfitted nicely, but it just looked nekked without the launchers. I was attempting to just go off pictures to try and get measurements, but I was not happy with what I was coming up...

Does anybody here frequent YouTube and watch either Heavy D Sparks or Jimmy's world? The reason why I ask is a few months ago Sparks went to a place either in Utah or Nevada and looked at a bunch of military stuff,planes, helicopters mv's etc. A few days ago, James Webb AKA Jimmy's world went to...

The item that we will be attacking is not really the thing in the following images. It is just the stand or shipping skid FOR the item. I will be playing carpenter for this project. Hope the splinters are kept at i minimum! I need to make a new crate, shipping device, display stand for a...

Well, not really the hood, but I guess it is about it too. Do all the different variants of the HMMWV use the same hood? Is the grill in the top of the hood the same dimension? I do know that there are different grills, like armored, but are the holes in the hood the same size? Another...

Anyone have any expereience with them? we have 2 at the Museum and are thinking about getting them up and running. I have not looked in the library to see if we have a set of TM's yet. They are 10kw diesel powered, one is a Herc and the other White, 4 cylinder, NA diesel. They are both USMC...

I got the front pulled apart in the M62 today, pictures to come in the thread on it, but I figured, since I am 3 belts and and adapter away, might as well do a front seal, IF it still available. I did some digging, needed TM 9-2805-203-35P. That supercedes to TM 9-2805-203-34P. Found that in...

Testing. What a PITA!

Microsoft has started to do things in their updates that change a jpeg to a jfif. There is a way to change it in the files and there is a program that does the fix for yoy. I don't like messing around in the files, so I just let the program do it. This has happened for the last 3 updates. I...

Would anybody be interested in this manual being put in the 5-ton section? I have a hard copy in front of me that is bound with staples. I can take the Staples out and scan it to PDF. Let me know and I can make it happen.

We were at Kern River, Limestone campground, and went down to McNalleys for a burger when all of a sudden I see this big ol truck pull slowly into the lot. From the distance it was I thought it was an old MB, but as it got closer, it wasn't! It was a Saurer 2DM. The couple didn't stay long, they...

This is about the project that is on going here, https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/the-next-project-an-asmh.216290/. The truck is a 1953, M62. This truck was, on it's last assignment, assigned to the CANG. That is where it was acquired from. Inside the cab, on the doors are CANG markings...

I have looked, Oshkosh doesn't have any, Eastern Surpluss has none, both show on their sites, but not in stock. Who else might have the rear winch socket? I did put up a parts wanted ad.

Didn't know where this shoulda gone, "Other Aux Equip" or here, I chose the latter! Here are some pics of an M6 rolling gas trailer. All of the hoses are there, I believe it is complete, holds 1000 U.S. Gallons. We have no TM on is so I do not know if this required a pump to fill or extricate...

Since we don't really have a spot for these, I guess here is as good as spot as any since it isn't a dodge and it isn't a 5t or larger! This is the GTB, Burma Jeep, G-622, whatever you choose to call it. I do believe that this a GTBA. This is out in the display area. I have never worked on this...

Figured i'd show the Converto we dug out of the back and sorta restored it. This, as far as Craig can remember, was acquired from a municipality, years ago. It is one of two. There were holes drilled in it everywhere, hooks mounted all over the place, some rot in the bed and on the gate. The...

This was posted on a FB group I follow, so I figured I would put it up here in case someone tries to move it. Contact numbers are in the pic and there is a link to the post. https://www.facebook.com/groups/539881653488828/search/?q=stolen%20radio

I have never really posted about this. I think, maybe, once about doing the steering, but I don't remember, CRS is kicking in! The Museum has an MB that we keep looking nice to use in displays, photo shoots, etc. There will be a shoot in a few days that involves some reenactors, and vehicles...

I need some help in regards to a MC on a M39 series truck. M62 Wrecker to be exact. We are in process of getting this up and running and stopping for use around the compound. I am working on getting it stopping. I have looked through the TMs we have in our library and the manuals posted here on...

The next item we need to pay some attention to is something that we can use to pick a load of 8800 lbs....hopefully not, but, it would be nice to have it up and operating. IIRC, I will give the data plates a gander and some pictures, is an M62 wrecker. I know it ran when parked, was ran out of...
