    Cucv munitions question

    When I was at Ft Bragg for a summer, we got issued M16A1's. Mine was made by GM Hydramatic. Yep, the same people who make transmissions.

    M416 & M101 tire retrofit

    With trailers, any tire is "good" as long as it is not dryrotted, weatherchecked, etc it will work. Tread pattern (or lack of it) doesn't really matter.

    M1102 retrieval - My first...

    With the SN you posted, your trailer was delivered on 7/31/09, and manufactured by Schutt Industries, built under contract W56HZV-08-D-0107. There will be no tags, as the MWOs were only for the 1997 contract trailers. All the trailers built after the MWO's were issued had them integrated...

    Camo rack assy. kit arrived..

    Here is a close up of the mounts. They are both the same for both sides. Add the 3 straps, and your done. Pretty easy to install. If you do install that rear set of mounts, the canvas will leak in the rain. I don't drive my truck that much to worry about the rub thru with the heater hose on...

    MRAP Seats in a deuce or 5 ton?

    I saw some pictures online of MRAPS seats and started doing some research.. I figured it would be cool to put some in a deuce or 5 ton. It looks like there are 3 main types. One has the bottom of the seat thatflips up. The second is a seat with a heavy frame around it and has aslide...

    Camo rack assy. kit arrived..

    No paperwork. Just look in the 24P-2 under "Camo rack and stowage rack assembly" for how it all goes together. I you need close up pictures, I can take some and post them. It's pretty easy. The parts with the threads go INSIDE the windshield frame, the threads thru the front of the frame...

    Camo rack assy. kit arrived..

    What type of HMMWV are you going to install it on? The instructions tell you to put 2 holes in the canvas top to attach it to the B pillar. That, as expected, makes it leak. In the Army, and on my HMMWV now, I never did that, I just let it "free float" on the B pillar, and put a piece of...

    Try to purchase a used MEP generator

    To convert a 400 to 60 Hz genny, you need to replace everything OTHER than the engine and frame.. it's not worth it. Thats why 400 Hz gennys go for cheap.

    I got M1102

    Yes, they are Timkens, availible anywhere. I'd replace the ones you have. Rust and bearings is NEVER good. Clean everything else up really well.

    Condition codes are meaningless, no matter if it is a manned site, unmanned, inspections allowed or not.
