Building an MV Moving some gear around, got the idea from Steel Soldiers and started my half track .

Could that be any better? Do the windows line up enough to pass a granola bar and an apple between the camper to the cab? Lookin' good, I can smell the campfire.

Looks like you have all the electrical worked out. Wish I could have backed you up on the electrical but you are now the teacher. I need one of those mini 1010's. Can you tell me where you found that? .........and what did you use to clean that engine? Simple green works but I have never seen...

Wow do I like that. You have some patience man. The 1010 wanted a digital paint-job or an actual forest scene across the side but the way your truck is looking, we'll see more guys trying the digital. Anyone else need to blink a few times while looking at it? Could be just an illusion but it if...

M211 Dedication We have some anniversaries coming up, crazy hey, seems like every year there's another anniversary. As we cleaned out the back of the truck and looked her over it became obvious that this truck needs to be dedicated to my buddy Nick...

G749 Farm We wanted to do a 3 or 4 truck convoy for Gracie's birthday but winter still has a grip on the trucks so we'll get that later. I had some great help getting the 211 by the same guy that sold me the 1010 and Tony, who may have some video. The PO of the 1010 also gave me the link to...

One man's junk Remember all that lumber and metal everyone said you should get rid of?.........Well I picked it up and laid down a quick hockey rink platform for Jellybean and Dumbo. Hope to build a wee rolling roof for the P-4 engine area so we can remove the hood then slide a roof over when...

This is not a short video because we dumped the tanks to see how Goose was doing from 0. Went through the process with the M207 as well but handed off the camera to family and we have a video of the fan if anyone wants one. Next time I won't dump the tanks and a guy can shorten the video. Once...

That's a pretty thorough list. Great list for a quick check, thank you. Good to see safety coming from a neighbour. We, Alberta commercial folk, are required to perform a documented daily inspection if traveling beyond 160km from our home base. Just to add to the list, Commercial always looks...

If someone doesn't get it by PM 30 4 I'll have it up loaded...or down loaded

1693 Cat Head It is very interesting, after reading the info from Demon I remembered that I have removed a head off an engine before. Hope all the skills I learned then pop back soon too.

I'm just going to hoard until the family does an intervention or I can get on one of those TV shows where they come and organize it all for free. I also understand that there's a guy on the left side of the map up here that has the same affliction and will need these parts for some projects...

I appreciate the thought but I bit the kitty and went to Cat. Fort Gary, Acklands, Greggs, Princess Auto and a few other little guys let me down. I got the "not in stock" line from nearly everybody. Now I want to drive it to the mine and show you my new switches. Have you ever pulled the head...

G749 Parts It's raining G749 parts. The PO of a truck that I bought found some more G749 pieces laying around and I have a shiny new Drag Link amongst a few other goodies. The inside of a fairly clean fuel tank Found a couple of transmissions under a tarp in the back of one truck. One...

Just getting at some parts today and I do have a governor on a scrap engine I'd mail to you if you need it and you're ready. Made me laugh when I read it in the manual but maybe you're having diaphragm troubles. The diaphragm is supposed to hold the inlet valves off their seats, stopping...

P-4 Parts We noticed the 2 nozzles on the top cannon of our P-4 were broken and it wasn't important at the time. Still not real important because the truck doesn't run yet but I thought I'd ask if you still had the P-4 around? I know a guy that would like those diffs. I wouldn't want to...

Here's a snippet from that article for those who don't click it. 9 people a day, dead, in one State, just hopping in the vehicle trying to get somewhere. Dead,..... Just running for milk, heading to the kids soccer game and grabbing the phone ....just for a second.... to check that ding ding...

You type English better than some of us. We're just down the block from Quebec. We call it practice France and some of Canada's Coolest Collectors of Retired Military Vehicles call it home. Kinda funny though, every time I think of someone I hung out with that was either Navy or French, alcohol...

I had 2 near hits today so I gotta bump this up. I'm a white line driver and travel 40 miles down a 2 lane, 60mph highway to get to my trucks. Been doing lots of miles lately and the "New" head down, swerving over the center line drivers have me scared. I'm not scared for me, the lightest truck...

M207 W/ Shop Van It's Gracie's 60th on April 30th and man have we got one heck of a present lined up. No one is going to believe what this 59yr old girl did today so hop in for a short trip through the bush and I'll tell ya. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS2one5JrZY&feature=youtu.be The...
