    huge yard with hundreds? of mv's in Rolla Missourri

    Pictures would help inquiring minds.......or just make some folks drool. Sights like that make for less than good thoughts!

    Light Wood Hauling

    Your pictures are really great, as is the scenery you drove thru. That is alot of work for the firewood, having to carry it back to the truck in large pieces. Here in N Florida, I just drive up to a tree that has blown down on the county right of way & cut it up with a chainsaw & throw it into...

    2 inch ball conversion m1102 trailer

    I bought both from Reese direct & they had a great offer of free shipping along with reduced prices. If you have no other trailers, the pintle only is 16K rating, complete for slightly over a Benjamin. The combo with a 2" ball is 30 bills extra. Both units will work perfectly for what you need...

    Only in a Huey!

    Been there, done that; but missed the refuel ride. The chopper flys all day if the weather permits @ Knob Creek during the machinegun shoot. The entire day that you are there watching & looking thru all the good stuff, the Huey is flying overhead with a new payload of folks. I haven't missed it...

    Does Any One Know What These Alternators Were Used In ??

    Looks like you scored into a nice stash of milspec generators that folks here might be in need of. Amazing what you can find out there if you look & know what to look for!

    GL Spamming?

    Nope, not here either. Now UPS tracking # emails all come in code that only a programmer can read, never seen that before!

    M1101 hub

    I picked up a M1102 last Friday & towed it back from Atlanta DLA to Florida in one afternoon. It was run @ slow speed for the first 10 miles due to a traffic jamb & stayed cool; after that, it was run @ highway speeds of 55-60mph for about 30 miles, with only being slightly warm. After a couple...

    DUKW vs. Pickup

    Looks like both vehicles sustained a large amount of damage, hope everyone is okay after it all shakes out. Makes you wonder if a cell phone was involved in the truck, or just a distracted driver? Will this affect MV's on the road there or is it just another traffic accident to all?

    Chronicle of a tan M1101 trailer purchase from GovLiquidation.com

    I picked up a M1102 from Atlanta today & everything hooked up perfectly, except the trailer plug. The reason for that is the Toyota Tacoma has a flat trailer plug & not the military one (a harbor fright towing light package fixed that). The 16K pintle connector worked great over the 320 mile...

    Taking Deuce on 1,500 mile ride. Help, thoughts, recommendations.

    I did a maiden voyage of 420 miles one afternoon, night & morning all run together @ once. The former owner said he checked all out & the only thing needed was brake fluid top off. The filters did plug up after a few hundred more miles later on, but is another story. I was being watched over...

    Torque specs. on the fuel filter bolts

    Like an old boss I had years ago would say, "Turn it as tight as you can get it & go one more turn." That would probably get you in lots of trouble nowdays with fasteners that are designed to torque in @ a given amount & no more. The old boss had a lot of old military gear that he bought @...

    In the market for a M35a2 but...

    I have a 1987 M35A2C Air Force truck that is wo/w that I would not sell for $10,000.00 as chances of finding another like it or better would be very slim. Due to the conditions of the market now, buying another would be an investment move if the price was right. People who have a yard full are...

    M116a2 Question

    I have to pickup a trailer outta Atlanta to tow back to Florida. The harbor freight tow lights are the way I am going since my tow vehicle is only 12v & will report back Saturday!
