I pm'd you jwaller...
Thanks David. I guess it is the difference between doing the job as fast as possible to get the rig out the door for use and a restorer painstakingly fretting over details in more convienent time schedule. I tell many people that working on mv's is my "golf" only a lot...
Mangus,
I found this years ago and when us users on the Benzworld Unimog forum had the same problems, I gave them this link. It is perfect for this issue. I recommend that it be placed on the front page. It is not dirty, just practical and funny. I am not the maker of it...
Good read and I think I will buy the book! My roommate in college went on to fly U2's since the SR-71 retired just prior to his duty and he was bummed. He was in the 99th Recon Sqdn and has some good stories as well. 80,000' equals 15.15 miles!
Also, the Airzoo museum in Kalamazoo, MI has a...
Wow Chuck, I was going to make a similar post! I too need a part brought back to MI. It is a humvee electric winch so it will not take up too much room...
I also have to decide if I can go but it is too soon to tell.
beer gas money available...
HI Chuck,
I will travel down I69 to I94 since it is a lot shorter that way or I may go the back roads. I need to go over my hmmwv to make sure it road ready after this long winter. I know that I either have a alternator/generator problem or a battery problem, so I will have to track that down...
chuck,
it is new and has the collar and all adapters and pins. I do have two so if you want buy it, that can happen too. or you can just borrow it.
I will pm you.
Thanks George and Paul!
Either of you are more than welcome to come over, turn a wrench and have a beer!
I thought it would be fitting to insert this video someone placed on Utube on current hmmwv's! Very cool! It is about 4 minutes long and the middle is the best...

Well, it is snowing to beat heck out and I am between travels, so I thought I would post some pictures of the power plant being set. Fairly heavy set up when the engine/tranny/tcase are connected. Once in place, I leveled it off and bolted her down. phew! With a little adjustment to the...
Hi Mike,
Sorry I missed your post...I put up some pictures of my 406 excavator. It seems on the 406/416 series, there is a zillion ways that they are configured. So by looking at mine will be somewhat different than others. The serial number is extremely important and provide that to the...
Well I finally got around to mounting the new Luvern brush guard to the front. I like it! Now on to the power plant placement. Engine is almost redressed and when done (hopefully this weekend), in it goes. Once that is done, I have to rearrange the shop so that the tub is in center stage for...
Wow, where have I been? Did not see this thread. It was good to see you all and I am glad everyone made it home safe and sound. Hopefully it is warmer on the next visit!
