Because in October we honored those using their trucks helping for hurricane and flooding relief without thinking if their trucks got dirty or not. :tigger: :goodjob::goodjob::goodjob: See the list of winners on the main page of the SS website.

:funny: Me neither.

Malansu, can you show some pictures of the vehicle out of the water? Makes it more impressive! Oh, and welcome to the site!

Nice tarp, but I think I meant something else with canvassing :grin: :wink:

I am still waiting for some serious canvassing; I am too lazy to recheck all the MVs of the month threads to figure it out.

Before I make the next mistake. I read that there was a risk for damage rolling backwards with the sprag in forward and vv. Does this apply only while rolling backwards with the gear in forward? First direction we went with the truck with the air system open to the air was BACKWARDS with the...

Saw that, it is one of the reasons I started this thread. From whatever signs I checked later, it looks that the front wheels were not involved in the digging in with spinning wheels, but just went down in the existing ruts. Did not try starting the truck yet, did not manage to get it going...

OK. I am stuck in a wet snowy peat meadow, and it looks my front wheels are not doing much. My problem is that the air pack is being rebuilt and I needed to move the truck. So the air line to the air pack is open. 1) does that stop the sprag from engaging? 2) can that become harmful for the...

Problem is, he has to save some money and take a day off before her can drive it around the farm; they gobble fuel and are very slow. :tinkerbell: :smile:

He had a few jeeps standing in another shed, didn't made pics, don't know details. He just got is some more jeeps in less good condition. Are you interested in buying one or in parts or just nice pics? TobyS, which M818 are your referring to? In the pics are two M816 wreckers, a standard M813...

Karl, I don't think he wants to sell the GOER, maybe the 123, but it would be expensive, then add the shipping costs and insurance costs. In both cases, you are talking ro-ro transport; containers are way to small. Rotterdam is close, so getting to the port and then to the USA is no problem...

With engine running? edit: yes, with engine running, not much sense without it. :oops: to my defense, it's late here and we are under pressure of several deadlines and actions, like our Czech Mikulas - Devil's forging tomorrow in our blacksmith workshop and the steam hammer getting into...

I combined two Ross steering gears into one and put it back inside. A complete rebuild thread will come later, now I am sorting a PROBLEM . Steps done on work bench: 1) Cleaned everything thoroughly, oiled it in proper oil and put it back. 2) Out the cover/control house back according the...

I don't follow auctions anymore, don't have $$ to bid and don't want to get frustrated if they go out cheap. But I would expect well over 10K.

Thanks, started to read, but its half hour after midnight here, bit too late to concentrate. So what you are saying, don't use anything else than DOT 5 in this case. What about the grease used by the previous owner; looks like a bad decision as well.

I know its better, but were are talking DOT 5 silicone brake fluid here. I know that a very small bit of different oil normally does not matter, but I don't know how DOT 5 reacts to other oils, especially what I have here: W90 gear oil, old engine oil, or kitchen oils, nothing else.

TM ... 34-2-2 actually mentions that you should put a light film of brake oil in the slave cylinder and on the gasket and seals. Since it it mentioned there, for me, that means it is not necessary in other places?

I am rebuilding the master cylinder and air pack for the M51A2 Neither the rebuild kit nor the TM mention that you should oil anything before installing, but maybe that is standard knowledge or general information specified elsewhere. So should you, and is it a big problem if you don't? Also...

Looks like what you have as avatar

Is a 6-ton not a bit under-powered for a heavy mover with a 20-ton trailer? Olive-Drab shows a nice color pic of a restored Corbitt 50SD6 truck (bottom of page), courtesy of the Overloon War Museum. I think that some of the stuff from this man actually came as surplus from the Overloon museum.
