    number of vehicles

    I'm having a heck of a time just getting 1 Deuce, much less 8. Did get a trailer though so my collection has started. Anyone want to lend me some money for a Deuce??????? :-D

    U.S. to supply Lebanon with tanks in 09

    This being said the M60 is no slouch of a tank; especially if it is the A3 variant. It won't take the hits of an M1A2 will, but if the crew is good and uses good tactics it will still put up one hell of a fight. Just ask Turkey, the M60 is their main tank. No tank will stand up against an...

    Save me from the tourch m75 apc

    Sorry for taking the thread off target, but do any of you guys restoring these M75's have a source for some track pads? I know of a M75, M41 and M42 that could use some new pads and they all use the same one. :-D

    Forty Below Zero Deuce

    On top of what Bighurt has said they basically take #2 diesel and remove a big portion of the wax from the mixture for cold weather use. The wax is what causes the fuel to gel up. I'm sure there are more indepth details than that, but thats the 50,000 ft. level.

    Forty Below Zero Deuce

    I guess all I was trying to say in regards to running a mix rather than straight #1 is that if you run straight #1 a lot of the lubrication is removed in the form of wax to prevent gelling. You can run straigth #1, I do agree with that but I would put an additive or something to give the fuel a...

    deuce starting problems

    Is there a switch on the clutch that needs to be made for it to start? This is a common feature on most manual vehicles that I know of.

    Forty Below Zero Deuce

    Out at the museum we run the mixed stuff that we can get at most stations. I haven't noticed too much of a difference running the ULSD (which doesn't burn worth crap), but we don't put the artifacts through much of a workout when we do use them. As far as what people put in their MV's, I...

    Forty Below Zero Deuce

    You're still getting straight #2 in ND?:shock: By law here in MN they have to start mixing in Octoober I believe. No matter what the year is if you're running #2 straight in below zero weather its going to have issues; something about injectors/pumps not wanting to deal with solids. Going to...

    When wife says "Merry Christmas Honey", run....

    Here's how you straighten it..... 1. Get 2 Wreckers or Deuces w/ winches (or ask a couple SS members for a MV loan) 2. Hook one winch to the Front, other to the back with. 3. Engage winches.... :twisted: Glad your wife is Ok, mine got hit from behind on Monday as well. Stupid lady on the...

    M101 Pulling Vehicle

    I pull my M105 around my yard with my Arctic Cat 650. I can push it across the road by hand, all you need to do is lift the jack off the ground when turning it. I pull it with a F350 and have no issues with stopping even with 2000lb load in it. Empty weight is 2720lbs.

    M101 Pulling Vehicle

    Sorry for being wrong on the weight, I'm over in Japan at the moment and didn't take the time to research the weight before crashing due to jet lag.

    M101 Pulling Vehicle

    Its not the pulling that you have to worry about, its stopping ability. A M101 weighs around 1700lbs which I have to guess is more than those utility trailers you have been pulling. I would say that the S10 may be a little light in the braking department for this trailer.

    can anyone tell what tank this is

    It looks like its trashed so scammers think they can get away with it. The red is actually a primer that we've sprayed it with. The tank is in very good shape actually. Better than some things that I've seen restored before.

    can anyone tell what tank this is

    Not a problem. Let me know if you have any more questions about it. My bet is a scam but if you want I can ask the museum director if he has heard anything about this leaving our inventory.
