    Thank you for the tip on this. It looks roughly similar to the S 749 system. we will keep doing research on it. The question is it safe to tow one at 50 or 55 MPH? It seemed to tow okay at 45, but would like to see the recommendations in the manual if someone has them.

    Communication Box Went and picked up a trailer for Larry M. today. Fortunately it wasn't far to my house, because by the time I got there, one brake drum was very warm. I gave it a bath, greased, and checked the tires. The neighbor came over and we played with it pulling it back and forth and...

    We went up the Skokomish valley past Camp Gobi. It is about 45 miles out of Shelton to where we ended up. It is a beautiful area and allowed for a little bit of shooting time as well. We were camped on the same spot about 4 years ago and got a foot or better of snow overnight and had to do...

    I recovered three M1102's Thursday and Friday. Only glitch was that one of the landing legs was missing the crank handle. Anyone got a spare handle hanging around. I may be able to find one at the trailer store, or might have to replace the landing leg. Of course I forgot to take the camera...

    That is neat about the trailer. I was wondering if it was one they pulled out of the weeds somewhere, with old tires and everything else old too. They have had a couple of WW2 bomb trailers withing the last year and I am wondering where they got those. In the folding tables I picked up a...

    Sorry, guess I could have looked at your equipment list and figured that one out. Has it been updated on lights or is it using the old style M series lights?

    Was that the trailer that was the 1953? I too looked at that and don't even have a truck to pull it. Neat stuff.

    Jeep will not start...???

    Just spent a lot of time on the M38A1 with similar issues, replace cap, rotor, plugs, plug wires, rebuilt carb, new coil, timing, and it was still sputtering. finally put in a new condensor and it fired right up. If you pull the coil wire out of the distributor and have someone crank while you...

    Centralia WA Dec. 14, 2013 Lighted Tractor Parade

    We fielded 8 vehicles and 11 people for this event. The parade was about and hour or a little longer. The turnout appeared to be at least as large as the 4th of July parade. These pictures are from the parade prep time, as the night time photos didn't turn out that well. There were two WW2...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    M923 -Installed spacers under the fuel can carrier so that it is not directly on top of the tool box. This allows for removal of the fuel can strap, so it doesn't rot out. Lubed the door catches and greased the truck except for the zerks between the transmission and transfer case. I need an...

    Was picking up field tables. I now know that my truck will haul 44 of them. Maybe a couple more, but this should be enough to hold me for awhile. It will be a good spring project for me rebuilding them as about 1/3 need it.

    Had a call this evening from a gent that hopes to make this parade the rolling out ceremony for his M38A1C. We might meet at my house in the afternoon to put lights on vehicles if there is an interest to do this. The form up for the parade is about 3 blocks from the house.
