    M275A2 in the Driveway Today

    Hey Ryan, I take it to a big truck, Semi - tractor trailer tire shop (Goodyear) in Phoenix. They have balancers that make easy work of it.

    M275A2 in the Driveway Today

    Matt, no problem, my neighbors are allways wondering what's next (in a good way), I've lived here for 10 years so it's really no problem. My neighborhood is more less "live and let live". Sometimes I'll leave one of the trucks in the driveway for a few days. My M35A2 was in the driveway for 3...

    M275A2 in the Driveway Today

    Hey Ken, Oops, I don't see another hole on your frame. Do you have another set of holes to move the 5th wheel back?

    M275A2 in the Driveway Today

    Hey Ken, yes correct, it's one set of holes back. In the picture on your tractor I can see the hole my rear bolt is in. It was there when I bought it, I will probably move it forward to center the king pin weight over axles. before I do that, I need to make sure my M128A2C has the required...

    M275A2 in the Driveway Today

    Clinto, Well without the weights it's not nearly as smooth. It makes a huge difference on the front tires, I'm running 11x20's. Without the weights, get a little shimmy & bounce. This shimmy & bounce is tire generated, not road, can't fix that. With weights, front end is smooth and seems to turn...

    M275A2 in the Driveway Today

    Used my Hi-Lift jack to straighten the porch on the tractor. Driver side was bent down pretty good when I bought it. Passenger side just needed a little lift. Now I need to finish straightening the 1/4 round fenders. Hope to install new engine in Nov. Would like to do an air-shift at the same...

    most important military aircraft ?

    Hey Dilvoy, glad to see we agree, Tankers make it all possible, remember France not giviing us flyover rights in the Libian F-111 mission. My 2nd choice would the B52. No other platform has done as much. Heck, even launched the X-15 199 times!

    Saturn Surplus has NOS "Jerry" Cans

    Just a heads-up. They're in the Misc Section. A bit expensive but they seem to be hard to find in this condition. I bought 4 and they are excellent. They have a Gov sticker on each of them.

    Area52, Sorry Not Able to Help

    Hey Wade, I ended up traveling light up to Wis and did not bring laptop. So did not see Hookin1's requset for help with the M200A1. On this trip I needed to make a beeline to AZ. I ended up loosing my starter and starter relay in Adiar IA. This pushed me back 27 hours as it was. What are you...

    Lifting New Multifuel Out Of M1028A1

    Hey guys, Devin, you've got some pretty cool stuff that I like as well. Hows the D-2? I think my collection is complete. DFN, The CUCV is actually an M1028A1 shelter carrier. There are few differences, if I tried to list them, I wouldn't get them all. The A1 gives it an NP205 tranfer case. I...

BTW - Was originally going to cost $200, Then we got to talking and he ended up asking if I'd be willing to trade for some items. Great guy -...

    New M35A2 owner

    Visit, you won't regret it. Have him give you the tour, it's amazing. Probably one of the nicest, most complete shops in the MV business. I saw your truck last Thursday, very nice. You'll be happy. I finished my 2100 mile trip yesterday. Tom is a stand-up guy! I broke down on the way home and...

    Driving My M1028A1 from WI to AZ Next Week

    Hi Wade, Glad you had a safe trip home from Cailf in your new deuce. Would like to see pictures. Thanks very much for the invite to visit on trip home. I may have over estimated the number of miles I can do every day, I had surgery on 8-14 and believe I'm up to the drive, It may be a slower...

    Driving My M1028A1 from WI to AZ Next Week

    Wow, that's great information on the VIN, thanks much. As far as the A3, I asked him about the gear ratio as well, he changed it himself to make it his daily driver. He really doesn't want to sell it. Thanks again, I'm looking forward to communicating with you about my new truck. Take care,
