    Findlay 2015 Armed Forces Day Event May 15

    Not if I had one and trusted it!! I'm still a maps person. (Stick shift, windey windows, no cruise......) Yeah - it's a toss up between extra miles on the interstates yet straight forward vs shorter distance, fuel saving and sanity of decent scenery yet maybe slower. Still going to try the...

    Findlay 2015 Armed Forces Day Event May 15

    Suggested directions off of I 90 from the East (NY,PA etc)? Looks like going to Perrysburg to pickup I 75 would add a bunch of miles compared to cutting across from I 90 back by Sandusky (Exit 110 - then South on OH 4) or getting off for Fremont (Exit 91 - then South on OH 53). As it is...

    I could potentially get it a lot closer! How big a volume do you think it'd dimension out at; LxWxH I haven't chosen my trip vehicle yet and he is approx 3 hrs from me.

    M870A1 Acquisition Thread

    Only pics I could find of 870s on 931s were of models - I know the model boys like to be real accurate, but I am curious why there are no pics of the real combination... Fifth wheels in pics of real 931s definitely look "civi" in height though, much lower than a 916.

    Should this gladhand have a valve?

    Blue is a modern civi thing - like cup holders and 'lectric windows. Pfffff I say.

    M870A1 Acquisition Thread

    Thanks. I can do fractions (if I have to) and mm!!! Did you notice the droop on the gooseneck of the A1? I guess it was that one that the GL guy inspected for write up on and just copied it for the other three. "pivot pins oval" etc. Not sure which one gets used more, 3 1/2" for the 916 or 2"...

    M870A1 Acquisition Thread

    CB any chance you could reverse engineer one of them into a dimensioned drawing? I missed out on the four trailers that went in ME this week (3 A0's & 1 A1) - even though they were listed as scrap, with no registrable paperwork, the prices went crazy right at the 5pm close - a couple kept...

    Do you realise what you have just done! .... given Soni another idea. (But in sand of course) Paint job mural on the rear needs a postscript: " ... but Beckham gets the rebound!"

    How to Re-Attach Winch Hook to Cable

    Esmet Assembly Not sure if this uploaded or not!! If it doesn't work, I can "Print screen" and post the 5 or 6 "pictures" of the instructions. The assembly block is the key to a decent and simpler job. I made mine by sandwiching a couple of sheets of paper between two blocks then...

    Won a M977 HEMTT in Ft. Drum

    Give Sam a call at the "site" contact phone number, she is pretty good with the fork truck, but that may be too big to push on with, but it may have the guts to pull it out onto the big gravel median outside the GL compound for you do tinker with. Right now there isn't anything listed at Ft Drum...

    Has anyone added a 2" x 2" receiver ?

    Removable Pintle Hitch/Receiver Still don't know why this tried and tested setup hasn't become popular this side of the Atlantic for exmilitary vehicles.... Side 'frame' brackets can be bolt on, with almost nothing showing when it's removed.
