    so I think I want a tank

    Track man Varyag....not to step on the OP thread but I'm sure he'd ask the same thing...... Best experience? Worst Experience? Best gear you've been in? Worst gear? favorite to maintain? Best ride? If you could have a scaled down 'modern replica' of any track you know...what would it be...

    so I think I want a tank

    I want a tank I thought everyone wanted a tank. There's a couple of nutballs I drink tea with that have explored some options to the tank idea. After seeing Ripsaw, the idea of a tracked machine with a big block Chevy seemed plausible. A scaled replica is the latest brainstorm on the table. One...

    G749 preservation

    Tailgate babysitting required Thank you for the heads up on the plate Stan. Still trying to solve the 'mystery piece' in the first picture. It was bolted on to the middle panel of the gate when I got it. Making no assumptions......I assumed it was an add on broken, license bracket. Then I saw...

    Plate, gate and two holes Big1096, this plate's for you. The first pic is a Canadian license plate handed to me by a farmer as a gift to my Dad. It just happens to read 01096. I had to post it because it's just ironic that the only mil plate I've ever had has Bigs Number. Always wondered if...

    adding gauges, where to plumb?

    Gauges There's a good pic in the TM's of the engine block and 'available' ports. We kept it simple and changed the water temp sending unit to attach an electrical temp gauge. It's a green wire, drivers side front of block next to the green wired glo plug. The alternative I understand is...

    Looking to do a 3-way

    The search I checked for schematics by googling "how to wire a 3 way switch 12 volt" I added CUCV but that didn't help. It's a tough search. Then I hit images on the left side which led me to DPDT then SPDT switches then back to a 3 way then grabbed a beer and found a couple cool sites with...

    Looking to do a 3-way

    3 way I'd help you out, but there is no way I'm going to "Mount Vernon". The M1010 has a three way in it. A toggle at the back door and one under the ac which can be reached from the cab. I'll check TM's for 1010 schematic but it's time to google "3 way" switch.

    Aircraft tugs

    First '52 XM211

    Thanks Henderson 'D', usually a camera flash shows imperfections in any paint and that still looks amazing. Red seems to be the hardest, heaviest paint to lay down, you done good. Oh I must say it, It's just a sexy piece of metal. We have a hard top to straighten for Gunfreak, hopefully...

    Making Winch Parts for M135/M211

    Is Canada near Dallas? No wait, it's just your hockey team that's in our face all the time. You guys have great sports teams and if the ranchers had any sense they'd all have G749's. Can you run an add on Craigs or similar with a pic of the truck and parts request. There's gotta be toys...
