I bought an old Farmall H from a buddy that had water in what seemed like every cavity aft of the clutch.Was very alarmed when pure water-then industrial mayonaise-then thick grimy sludge came out of the drain!! Didn't have the time or money at the time(just when IS the time anyway)to tear down...

Shoot!!! And I thought I had the shortest recovery (48mi round trip). HHHHMMMM maybe we could do a poll on the short trips.

Yep, me neither--way outta my league on all those counts!If I could dabble in the big spendy stuff I'd probly go with a BMP-1---they look like a kick!

Or if British Iron would do,contact Idaho Motor Pool----Centurion!

Hey, what the heck!! Go ahead and buy it and let the teenagers in the family take turns driving it to school or at least the wife drive it to PTA meetings!!:twisted:

Wow! Whoda thunkit! Great big tank/ little tiny people. I just read a book "World Tanks and Reconnaissance Vehicles Since 1945". Has quotes such as"The Soviets are going to be in trouble(for tank crews)when they run out of strong left-handed midgets (gun loaders T-54/55)---indeed it was remarked...

Thanks for the replies--for what I'm trying to do and what I have to do it with, the weight doesn't seem to be a big problem.I think from what I see here(thanks folks)that if I called it 2000lbs I'd be safe (front end loader capacity/legal combined highway weight). Now how to come up with the...

Hello all! I am considering a recovery using my commercial truck to haul my new toy home.Thinking of taking the 12ft bed off my M-35 gasser and installing it on the Freightliner for the trip.The problem is that the tractor I have available to change out the bed is kinda small (and trying to...

Thanks for the cool pics and story.AND for reminding me of a personal rule of thumb I stick to when dealing with ANY beaurocrats or LEOS. It goes something like this: "even if the statute book clearly shows that you're correct---ultimately it is the feller with the citation book (and that big...

HEY!!,Whats that 8 wheel APC thingy-go-bob!!??? A109 would be cool but the sled in the #7 photo would be even more better---too bad we cant bid on that!!:drool: If the neighbor is upset with the Duece just think of their dispair if the apc showed up in the ol' driveway:-P

Very good story and hope they will end up at a good home.I did get a chuckle though when I saw the bug shield------they must have some dang slow bugs around there!:-P

Chris, go to your local autobody paint and supplies store and get a decal/pinstripe removing tool. It looks like a small ginder wheel you chuck up in your drill BUT it is made of hard rubber. (think powered eraser). I have had okay results on standard "normal" paint but have not tried it on...

Hey Kevin---I talked to the contact guy on the phone--he told me the winch behind the cab is still in cosmoline-looks to have never been used--cool, glad one of us got it. Jim

Oh no! Had you pulled an ok trans and ok clutch just to find NOTHING wrong---now that would have qualified you fer the D.A. of the week Award! (I happen to be a pro at that sort of thing) (I dunno what happened--It was working right up to when it quit!) Jim

Hey fellow spudder-welcome,glad to see ya here.I am from Lake Fork close to McCall (the northernmost suburb of San Diego) Lets see some pics !! Jim

Hi, I have a 1957 Curtis-Wright M35 gasser with a set of Goodyear 'Custom Extra Grip Hi-Miler' 9.00x20 that came on the truck.These are very aggressive mud and snow.It seems to drive/ ride nice ( Disclaimer- I've never drove any thing with NDT's so I can't honestly compare---)
