So fuses exist for pick-up trucks (to give them their real name), for forklifts and knuckle cranes, and for airplanes. Ferro, do trains use hydraulic velocity fuses? Somehow it should be possible to use those existing fuses and fabricate them into something that is strong enough for a 5-ton...

OK, I'm awake now (remember, I am across the pond from you people). It actually was my own thread on how to split a brake circuit on a 5-ton. Ron (73M819) actually came up with the hydraulic fuse idea (post 15). Such fuses are standard issue for all types of aircraft: Hydraulic fuse or...

Glad to give you a hand and stand look-out :recovry4x4:

I think we discussed something similar with Ron (73M819) 5 or more years ago; airplanes use valves for explosive pressure loss. No time to find the post now, there was a reason it would not work on a 5-ton, not sure what it was. If I understand correctly, what you are suggesting is a bit...

That's the spirit :cool: :jumpin: :clinto:

I was going to suggest migginsbros put up their Harley again, so we can get a nice Harley in the calendar. However, with Microjeeps MV in the mix, I would have to vote for that one.

Is Jaap a Dutch guy? The name certainly indicates so. Can you provide a link to that truck. I actually was lucky getting my M51A2, as close as a barn find you can imagine in the Netherlands. I know there are several Ward la France wreckers for sale in Austria and the Netherlands, but if a...

We need at least one bike in the new calendar!

May the Gods strike me down, but I already did.

Like a friend used to say, I am not here to brake but to ride.

How are you on brakes? Mine have been probably changed 30 years ago, but almost never used since then. Should I renew them again, or trust the 30 year old stuff and glue and ...?

:drool::drool::drool::drool: My 1953 NSU Konsul with Steip sidecar should be standing there as well, or even better, my unfortunately too quickly sold BMW R67/3 from 1955; the original partner of the Steip sidecar

Don't forget the H set-up of the drive train without a big differential in the rear middle and no axels going toward the middle in front either; that helps getting through deep rutts in mud as well.

You know what they say, if it does not drop, its not a true Harley :jumpin:

These auctions are really really very bad for my nerves. There was another one for sale I was the highest bidder for a week with 290 €, then until 15 minutes before the end with 460 €. I was overbid, I put a new bid but that was immediately also raised, so somebody clearly had auto-bid on...

Some historic DAF in action video. Pay attention around the 20 min part how the Personnel Carrier crosses the ditch, and then does it backwards at the same speed.

Maybe I should have put this in the Unimog thread, but the Unimoggers would have been sad ;). If you let it run after the finish, it will show a trial ruin of the big brotter "Fat Daf" YA 328 Or just go directly to that video

Drew, why don't you put up your avatar with that nice dog for the contest?

I tried but lost out on an auction with two DAF YA126s, both 1957 For this green one, my bid of 560 EUR (630 $) was forever the highest bit. Then the auction day came, and I lost out very quickly. Sad but glad about that, my spouse would have killed me if I would have bought it, and I...

Apart from being build in WW II and heavily used by the military, any known military history of this specific machine? This is also a POMS surplus?
