It should not be a problem, see my post above You don't see the Growler parts because they are actually MUTT parts

Preceding the quote from above on the growler turning belly-up on the http://www.military-today.com website:

Just read up on the Growler, then on its never-selected competitor the Badger. Now that is a vehicle worth 20K. Interesting enough, the second half of that article is about why the by far SUPERIOR and CHEAPER Badger was declined in favor of the Growler. In short, the Badger fulfill all the...

MILWEB dealers and traders list MILWEB This is a good reference website with a lot more info on where to get what in which country than I can ever scrap together for Europe alone. Probably several people on this site are already familiar with them. Continuing with this thread is useful; get...

When bringing my old Peugeot 307 SW (now used as work car for the forge) for necessary repairs to a small local garage, found this 2018 calendar on the wall (below the usual pics of females). Militaryspareparts.cz. No further information, but looking at the calendar they are still active...

You know this place in France? Also, one Dutch trader definitely has some of those trucks, not sure he wants to sell them yet. Rob Army Truck. I wanted one of the trucks standing outside, but at that moment, no deal. Mention my name, that is, "Robert, the Dutch guy from the Czech Republic with...

Congreats to the winner with. Outstanding work for a private. ;-) As a close runner-up, I think that Ferroequinologist should be awarded with a separate railroad forum! :carnac:

Viele grüße aus die Tschechei, Please also add your name to the European Member List and also please tell us where in Europe you get your spare parts. I also just saw this nice article about the CUCVs. We were using a Blazer (civilian version) in winter up north along the Alaska Highway...

Exhibition We made a very small exhibition in our museum as part of the 30 year end of Cold War activities. Unfortunately, we were not able to move the truck to our location, so we had to do with the shield and a lot of talking about it. It is in Czech language, but most of the text is also...

Actually, quite a lot of nice pics about the dump-tractor conversion can be found on page 5 of the August MV of the Month. Almost all of the pics on that page are of the M51

My truck at the forge, so it counts as canvassing.:whistle: ;-) Steam hammer: early 1900, from the former steam locomotive repair shop of the Franz Josef Railroad. The hammer is now working on compressed air from the holder behind it' steam would be too risky and problematic with authorities...

Some more pics coming up. Did I already mentioned that the truck is modified to be Truck - Dump (M51) and Truck - Tractor (M52) whenever whatever is needed, and legal on papers as well? This is how it looked after the first visit to the DoT. Their remark: no protection over the tires and...

And put your favorite supplier-scrapyard-paintmixer in the European scrapyard thread even if its not a US MV shop. Don't tell me I am the only one trying to find parts of MVs in Europe.

Milwaukee Milwaukee M18 Fuel 1/2 Cordless Impact Wrench. Brushless motor, 1491 NM nut-busting release torque, 950 NM fastening torque. I was thinking about the 3/4 or 1 inch as well, but that would make everything unnecessary heavy and expensive. The 1/2 with adapter does the job as well, and...

Star 266 and 660

With grand kids now, away from my pics collection. But some nice history and video from our truck are on our museum site.

The boats are house boats, former working boats that are rebuilt for living. Most of them can still sail if need be. My late brother was living in a 1900 Talk, a sailing cargo boat. He had made it completely independent self-supporting. I tried to convince him to put the sails back also, but he...

No pics from the hood, but a nice video of me driving along the Dutch channels to the DoT for getting the truck street legal.
