    MV of the Month November 2021

    You know what HD and British bikes have in common? Actually two things: 1) always take an empty oil can with you to put under the engine when you stop, so you can put back the oil leaking out. 2) they go 1:1, but I forgot what to what. It was either using one liter oil per every liter fuel, or...

    This is what I see with the browser zoomed out When you zoom in with the browser, you have only a small band of a few adds, then the bar with forum options, then some internal remarks, then two big adds, then starts the rest. To be honest, I don't even notice these adds anymore. As soon as...

    The #9 Start with a single truck with dolly in Toronto, then make a slow drive down to the rally, picking up trailers (cargo or lowboys loaded with MVs) along the road. You will end up with your Body and Six. Quite happy to volunteer as co-driver (only driving forward); I will fly to Toronto...

    5 Ton CDL?? (Indiana)

    :deadhorse::soapbox::deadhorse: I agree that money for a CDL is a big problem, certainly now, but all the discussion is about whether you can legally do without one, or how you can get away without having one. Even in the military, they train soldiers (more or less) how to drive with those...

    Jeff, maybe you already mentioned it, but which paint you use. That is, which current codes, if you have them. I am still looking for good paint, and this seems very nice for my 1965 M51A2.

    Front axle seals and boots stepXstep

    I would double-check if its the correct spring. The old spring does not look like its longer because its old, but because it really is longer and has 3 windings more. The newer spring might be for a different truck. For the rest, I agree with the above, you cannot replace only one: the...

    Two oldies together: a 1963 5-ton dump truck weighing 22,000 lbs and a more then a century old steam power hammer checking in at 44,000 lbs. The anvil part of the hammer is mostly buried; total height of the machine is over 20 feet. This was during repairing the left front brake cylinder and...

    I forgot, more information about the history of the truck and on the Cold War in Europe, especially about the POMS depots can be found on the site of our Czech Emigration Museum. Also, the link to download the pdf file on the conversion from dump to tractor.

    The truck has not been restored yet, but we still made a poster explaining its history and role in the Cold War in Europe, and how it ended up first in the Netherlands and then in the Czech Republic. The picture left bottom corner shows a line of dump trucks with coal for Berlin
