Check the engine tag (on the engine) and the relief print on the engine. My 5-ton multifuel was supposedly from 1973, but I later found out that I have a 1965 M51A2, and both engine and truck were overhauled in 1973. Maybe its still the original combo of truck and engine, maybe they repaired the...
Hi Kuso, welcome, and let me know if I can help getting some stuff.
I am living in the Czech Republic, and I am restoring an 1953 NSU bike for my nephew, who is living in the Interlaken area.
There are I think at least five or six members with the Tatra Kolos on the forum, but haven't seen...
Mostly no, these are auctions of confiscated goods or bankruptcy or ending of a company. Only very rare do they have something like "army surplus" where the Harley was, or "oldtimers".
I think I saw three-four older heavy bikes coming along, mostly 60s-80s for the older, and after 2002 more...
OK, what is a DOKA, and what is Dutchland: the Netherlands (from Dutch) or Germany (from Deutschland)?
I can have a look around here, I am a Dutchman living on the border of Austria.
I would have to ask the Dutch DoT if I can include this in my system. Problem is, in the EU, ANY change to the brake system has to be registered and approved. If not, in case of a brake-related accident, the insurance company will say that we made not-approved changes to the system and as such...
Been there, done that. Gratefully, I did not understand my better half completely, but she more or less told me to stay in the Netherlands than coming back with that green monster. Both of us are happy I am still here.
Probably I downloaded this from Steelsoldiers, or I came across it...
Is that Allison something I should have jumped on for that price?
I don't need to earn money on it, but maybe it could help somebody in dire need of such a thing, don't know how common they are stateside. If you are not in a hurry, shipping it by sea cargo to the USA would be around $ 300...
Forgot about Dave's set-up. That one is one heck of a set-up, perfectly done.
That truck was runner-up for the July 2014 MV of the month, but nailed it the next month August 2014.
Those were the good old days we had 20 contestants without problem, and Patracy had to use two posts to stagger...
For our European members, the latest just closed auction for ex US Army surplus sold in the Netherlands.
Maybe you miss it because its in a section for US auctions. Its worth to keep an eye on; Troostwijk has auctions all over Europe. Sometimes they also link or post for German and AUstrian...
Happened again, for one moment, I thought I should jump in and take this thing with me to the USA next year to make somebody happy: an overhauled Allison transmission for OSHKOSH, SNS 2520-01-587-4634, part number E019041 for 340 €.
Then the bidding almost closed and people started to...
There are a few auction websites in Europe that occasionally have interesting MV stuff, including ongoing now an auction called
SURPLUS Veiling (auction) ex US Army 3977 .
For smaller things, this might even be interesting for people in the USA. To give an example, I have seen 5-ton...
Tried searching, but too many not relevant hits.
The stock army tires on my M51A2 are worn and old. I am looking for a cheap replacement for 8 tires.
Getting fitting rims here for other sizes is close to impossible (read: too bl**dy expensive if available), so I need a modern tire size that...
