    Ural and Tatra next to the T34s

    This guy has some serious tracks in his garden. And some some nice wheels as well. Thought I will separate them. Here are the Urals. On the front left fender was written VRAA (on both trucks). Any idea?

    Can you legally own a functional T34?

    Jokes apart, when did that happen? Probably five or more years ago? Over the last years, prices on this kind of stuff have exploded. Nobody is talking below $ 4 K anymore. Check this: $ 4,500. They guy of the bazar is selling something the same, (maybe even be it) but without mentioning price...

    Can you legally own a functional T34?

    Sometimes, I really really am getting very tired of these little pin pricks life is dealing you with a funny hand. EZFEED, I checked your vehicle, found an interesting group here and find out that there is a meeting planned that I definitely want to go to, talk with people, show pictures and...

    Can you legally own a functional T34?

    Well, this one in parts might be easier to import and not too expensive :mrgreen: Personally, I'll stick to the 5-ton M39 series :drool: (although a different gearbox would be nice, like an 18-speed one maybe?)

    Can you legally own a functional T34?

    Getting our dump truck ready and to our museum is already over our head, let alone even thinking about owning his junk yard. We will invite him to the 10-year anniversary or a special MV event we might organize this summer I will ask about the functionality next time. As to owning that...

    Can you legally own a functional T34?

    And then some. The very first pic with the shield has another crane standing behind the Ural. Not sure and I have to look the next time, but it might actually be the same as this one but repainted. A lot of NCO's and officers went into early retirement, keep working in a new job and keep their...

    Can you legally own a functional T34?

    I am not sure what "demiled" actually amounts to: pour concrete into the barrel, remove the firing mechanism? Anyway, maybe for export, but at this moment would not bet on it, might actually be really and fully functional, would depend on when he bought it. This is the Czech army selling...

    Can you legally own a functional T34?

    He tells everybody he is using these Tatra's to earn his daily living. I think he just has them to have something strong enough to take out the engines and take off the turrets of his T34s.

    Can you legally own a functional T34?

    They started to restore this tank. Than, as the guy told it, his sons decided that they actually wanted to spend their time on building a house to live with their families than continue rebuilding an old tank. Can you understand that? :-D :???: So the engine is OK already, standing in a...

    Can you legally own a functional T34?

    Can you legally own a functional T34?

    I don’t know about you, but this guy certainly can and does. The shield in front of his house certainly is no joke. :drool::drool: :jumpin::jumpin: The guy has one operational T34, one partly stripped T34 for restoring, two engineers tracks based upon the T34, (maybe recovery or...

    5-ton repair wiki

    Thanks to some helpful members with a better memory, found back some very useful threads. What I would like to do now is following. In the 5- ton section (or 5-ton and deuce,) make a sticky or wiki section with repair tricks. Let’s copy those threads there. Then I will re-read them...

    previous thread on brake repair

    There are too many posts here. Somewhere last autumn (September - November?) somebody posted a series of very good pics on taking apart and replacing or repairing the brakes on his truck. Very accurate description and pics. Forgot to bookmark that and now am trying to find that thread back...

    pullin big pines down with the M52A2

    It's the same with a small excavator we bought of the same guys. They got it cheap to begin with, just used it up without too much attention, care, or money spend on it. When it stops, abandon it. .... or find a sucker who's crazy enough to take them of your hands - which I did :beer:

    I knew I had some better pictures of the damage somewhere.

    pullin big pines down with the M52A2

    Great pics and great fun. This is how the previous owner wrecked the winch cable and cable guider: he used the winch cable in stead of the chains, and he got very close to the tree and then gave her **** backwards on a long cable :cookoo:. Would not want to be close when that snapped...

    5th wheel assembly

    Actually, mine will hopefully be both.

    5th wheel assembly

    If I remember correct, bolting the assembly with this dam-wand profile spacer plate straight on top of the frame would give me around 48''. Let me get this correct. I should cut and remove the rivets in the top flange of the frame rails and use those holes to bolt the spacer plate onto? I just...
