    Blasting Help! Question!

    Moisture in the media and/or a kink in the feed hose are our most frequent causes of stoppages in our blast cabinet. If you're getting a burst then nothing, some kind of blockage is the culprit. Also check to see if your filter screen is clogged with rust or paint chips or if some have made it...

    Those in the drive-it-out club

    Some of these trucks are pushing fifty years old and silicone brake fluid wasn't around when they were new. If rust got started before the MWO to change them over came along then it's there. I'm with Kenny and Bruce; yeah, somethings can break and then get taken care of but brakes, drive-train...

    Example EUC

    If I understand correctly, a buyer has to fill out an EUC for each and every purchase. Wouldn't an idea worth considering be to allow buyers to fill out one generic EUC and once approved, cite it on subsequent purchases? For most of us hobbyist/collectors, our end use is always the same; buy...

    Tower Park

    Thanks, I'm gonna try and make it. Got some side racks I'm trying to get rid of. It's either that or I attack them with a Sawzall.

    Jeep emblem

    Randy, You're right about the design being made into a keychain too. I just recently found one and got to pay a pretty penny for it. Still, it's a neat piece. My first Jeep was an MB and it looked like it had been to war but ran great.

    Add-on circuit breaker protection.

    Just taking a poll here. I'm to the re-wiring stage of the baby HEMTT project and am thinking that circuit breaker protection is a good idea, but more of them than just the one like's on the deuce firewall. I've run from the hot terminal on the starter to a split circuit breaker box and from...

    HEMMTT Whells on a M123/M125 10 ton truck

    If they're standard ten-hole Budd, the only thing to worry about is the offset being correct.

    Unknown trailer ???

    What does the plate in 'unknown 3' say? With the controls that look like they work the sides and what appears to be an auger on the bottom, my guess it's some kind of spreader but for what...?!?

    updated pics of my hemtt restoration

    Hey Damon... Once again, you take 'a little restoration work' to a whole 'nother level. Have you ever considered a job with the Smithsonian?

    first timer needs advice

    If you've already made your purchase(s) then it's too late for advice; what you need now is moral support. Welcome to the fold; there's a lot of knowledge and experience wrapped up here and we ain't too proud to share. The library is great and has almost everything published on your new-to-you...

    SF97-FEDEX

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: SF97-FEDEX The dated bill of sale could be a headache. Take everything including the post marked envelope with you to DMV. In California we have 15 days to transfer ownership or we face penalty fees.

    How to install the control valves on a m816?

    I'm not real familiar with wreckers; but all the wrecker hydraulic lines and fittings are in TM9-2320-260-24P-2 (Group 20).

    T-case vents

    I couldn't find one in the manual either, C'dub; but there's a threaded hole with a pipe plug in the t-case top cover that seemed like such a good place for one that that's where I put mine. I can't think of any other reason for the hole to be there. Only change I made was to run a fitting in...

    RE: Need help with It'll take looking over a number of color chips to see which appears closest to the color you're trying to match. Click on the flat green catagories at this site www.colorserver.net/fandeck/ and see if anything looks familiar.

    rust remval bath

    The problem with liquid anything is that it gets into places hard to reach in order to rinse like the insides of doors, seams and layered metal panels. All chemicals strong enough to eat rust can eat metal, though at a slower rate-- and unless neutralized, will keep coming out of seams for what...

    3 Color Camo Painting Advice Needed

    Lay on your green first and cover the entire vehicle; that gives you continuous coverage and cuts out the possibilities of bare spots (holidays) between pattern and background. Next, come back and chalk in your pattern outlines. With very few exceptions, they're just there as a guide and not...

    Strange military paint question....I promise.

    Radar scattering is pretty sophisticated technology and a paint that does it would have to have "chaff" as one of the pigment additives. CARC, along with other recent camouflage paints, is "non-photoreactive". Vehicles photographed with a flash tend to look washed out and indistinct because it...

    updated pics of my hemtt restoration

    I'm a firm believer in three lever switches but have had no problems with the push button switches, both in the Guard as well as my personal vehicles, so I trust them too. Until you've used them for a while, I found the three levers feel like you need both hands to operate. The biggest problem...

    Looks great Damon. I think the guys at the Reset program could take a pointer or two from you.
