Fell in love with the m151 with TOW launcher. Might need to get one for the collection. The missile back behind the dragon wagon brings up a lot of unanswered questions that we may not want to know the answer to.

I submitted to join.

Made it back home. Got to meet several members yesterday. MWMULES, Zout, Papabear, Clinto (I didn't introduce myself as Iatractor), then met up with another Georgia crew wearing their rally shirts-Digger? and RTK. Talked about the upcoming GA rally this fall. Might be worth a plane trip...

One quick question, I did not get a chance to register to attend the convention, will I be able to register there? Kind of had a situation at work that put my ability to come in jeopardy but by Tuesday of last week it changed. Won't be bringing a vehicle or be a vendor, just a participant...

At least it isn't in a van down by the river. Funny thing is that Bashford is fairly elegant but it was under ninety bucks a night. Wonder what a deuce looks like in the driveway?

I'm going to be coming to town late Wednesday, be there all day and evening Thursday, and then leave late Friday. Staying at Bashford Manor, where several other o.d hobbyists will be staying. The hostess asked me what brought me to Louisville, told her the mvpa convention and she said all of...

Since the military vehicles are using the serial number as the VIN, I've seen where the county treasurer won't register because it doesn't truly say VIN. That officer I spoke with said he gets trucks in because of that issue. Since vehicles in Iowa are registered by the county treasurer...

A while back, I had a conversation with a DOT inspector about military vehicles in Iowa. This is the guy that you go to if say for instance you re-built a classic car and need to get a vin/title for it because it was re-done using a different frame or cab. Anyway in regards to titling mv...

I'm going to nominate my deuce. Acquired it 2 years ago by odd luck. At the time I was looking for either another pickup or an old tractor to tinker with. So the compromise was a deuce as it was a way better bargain than a pickup with more capacity, and it had the White engine block that some...

Thanks for the information. Kind of an interesting story. So many of the stories of D-Day pertain to the storming of the beaches, but without the members of the 82nd and 101 airborne diving into the heart of enemy territory in the dead of night, we might have had a different outcome in World...

What is the story behind the picture of the paratrooper stuck in the steeple? That church looks a lot like one that was profiled on public television a while back. The show was about the 101st Airborne medic station in a village during D-day up through D-Day+3. Basically it boiled down to...

Good choice hummerguy. The 211 has been my best selling machine. Very few problems with them. Basically your wire speed isn't the issue, just speed up your forward movement. Another trick when using the autoset is to dial your thickness on the lower end of the size range. Give it some...

As a distributor for welding supplies, I will tell you to buy your machine at a welding supply company and not a discount place. Especially if you purchase a Lincoln. The welder they sell at Lowes/Home Depot and big box stores looks a lot like the ones sold at Praxair or Airgas, but internally...

I'm going to say it looks like a Holt. There is a remote chance that it might be a Cletrac or Monarch but Holts tended to predominate the military tractor market in the 1920's. As a bit of history, the C.L Best tractor company and Holt tractor merged in 1925 to become Caterpillar Tractor...

I work in the compressed gas industry. It scares me at how many people try to do things they are not supposed to with their cylinders.

I'll campaign for the water buffalo because: we don't have trailers on the list very often, the trailer just got done being used to haul maple sap, you can use the phrase "I own a tank and intend to use it" and technically be correct using said phrase.

Should be loaded now on my last post. Had to give the computer some persuasion.

I'm having issues with pictures loading. Scrap mine until I can get the pictures to load. Hope this works this time.

I will nominate my M149A2 since it just got done being used to haul maple sap from the trees to my shop.

I myself prefer the premium fuels from Cenex Harvest States. For off-road use it is called Ruby Fieldmaster and highway use is Roadmaster. Instead of being straight #2 fuel with additives, their brand of premium fuel is what they call a D-grade. Comparison to #1 and #2, it had a higher cetane...
