While working on the truck, I went to a nearby local "Keep Them Roling" event in the north of the Netherlands. They would not let me play because my truck is too young (membership is restricted to trucks made between 1939 and August 1945).

My M51-A2 ... eh, ah , eh M52-A2 :?: :shock:? What the heck, call it M512-A2 The first pic shows the M51 in dump version, the second in tracktor version. The 3rd. pic shows the dump bed being put back on the truck. Total conversion time from M51 to M52 or M52 to M51 about 90...

How the hrigging fell did they managed to see where they are going. Maybe the trucks have fording kits, but what are the drivers using for air? Looked like the one guy was taking a camera with long lens out of the back of the truck. That one probablyt was not waterproof either.

Duncan, sorry to hi-jack the thread a bit longer. Info from 2008 (Czechs entered the EU in 2004) …..“It isn’t quite so incredibly easy for non Czechs to purchase a car here in CR. I know the EU laws mandate free movement of labor and possessions, but the Czech Dopravni Inspekorat (Traffic...

A lot of Dutch used to do that in the 70s and 80s with old peugeots and VW vans. They went "on holiday" on their own insurance including repatriation clauses etc with four or five cars. Once in Africa, they sold all but one car, and came back with the last one. Don't know how it is now, but then...

The moment you buy a car, you have to get it on your name and adres. Don't know how they do it with non-residents from other EU states, I can look into it if you want. If it is old enough you can register it as a veteran truck, but in that case it is better to be member of a veteran MV club...

I don't get too often in that area, but when I am around, I'll try to remember.

I am sure it is still there, not sure if it is for sale at all. You're interested in buying it? If so, I could ask for a real price.

I found two tags. First is the engine tag, which I think says LDS 463-1. I was looking for 465, but it really seems to say 463, is that possible? Tag looked horrible, did not see where it mentiones the horsepower. It was a tag where it says on top only MULTIFUEL, and then below it is writen...

According the manual, I should just "drain the hydraulic oil from the reservoir and replace it". Any recommendations on some extra cleaning to get debris or water out? Loosening any hoses on the steering house hydraulic sectiopn to make sure all oil is really out? Any filters or tight spots I...

Do you have to put any special stuff on a new canvas top to ,make it water tight, or something on the lines that slip into the frame to better preserve them?

Bump bump bump bumping this up in the line of threads.

That's useful information. Thanks

I am trying to get some replacements for the original small bolts used to fasten for example the door lock and window mechanism to the door panel. Off course they are non-metric and I cannot find replacement in our "home depot" Can somebody tell me which tread and which speed they have, or how...

My plan is after replacing the fuel filters and a complete oil change (one time filters, two time oil) I want to do the rest of the drive train as well. Question is when. Logic and prudence say right now, without delay. My worries, however, are that with draining and replacing the oil I...

Don't do that, it hurts when I am laughing so much. Too bad I am too far away to come and help, would have loved to join that convoy.

Just bumping this up again. Anybody?

If the engine that is now in it is in good shape, you can swap or sell it and get an original 5-ton engine. But first check which engine is really there, sounds like the person telling you the story or the people of the museum did not really know what they are doing or what really happened. If...

I seriously would love to go into the discussion full speed now, but I think that this not the right place to do so. If I see what my remark triggered and certainly the reactions when I tried to correct the remark and then mentioned my own opinion Not in the least because that discussion...

I already tried to indicate and will say it clearly now; that statement was a bit too black and white, and everybody is welcome to its hobbies. Tanks are not my kick, but some of the tracked vehicles of our fellow SS members really look nice and my regret is that I never got a chance to race...
