    M109 rebirth into M48A2

    For many years back in the 90’s I used my 275 like you describe, pulling a 20 ton lowboy with equipment loaded from tractors to Hueys. The truck has a 185 hp LDS but is otherwise stock. The trailer air brakes overcame the stopping issue. Happiest day of my life (well maybe not) was when my...

    Operating Generators in Flood and / or Flash Flood Zones

    Here in the flood prone Houston area, scores of people are getting natural gas generators after our generation collapse during the freeze we had. These generators are all the “Generac” type with the plastic house, and yup everyone plops them down at ground level in the back yard. Not wise.

    Shelter?

    I imagine it was deleted because it was a for sale ad that was not placed in the classified section. Post a picture of each like you did and just ask what they are. One as you know is a SECM (Shop Equipment Contact Maintenance), the other two are just general use shelters that fit on 2 man HMMWVs.

    Moving S250 shelter with Transporter Airmobile Model 4003 Mobilizer

    Did you intend to type S280 shelter? The S250 was never set up for a mobilizer.

    RTV/Silicone

    Recall these trucks were expected to routinely plow through the surf exiting LCATs etc. Salt will corrode a rubber ball.

    65 Kaiser M35A2 project starts

    The database reflects all US Army vehicles that were “on the books” at the time he queried the database, which I believe he did in the mid 2000s. He provided excel files which I condensed into pdfs which anyone can search on the “Carnac VIN info thread”.

    65 Kaiser M35A2 project starts

    Your truck is in the Carnac database but it’s one of the entries with no unit code sadly.

    65 Kaiser M35A2 project starts

    Wow no VIN / serial number on the SF 97. I was going to do a search for you on Carnac’s vin history thread.

    Progress

    Looking incredible!!! What OD shade is that? Looks like the factory shade that nobody has ever seen due to Army repaints using 24087.

    "79 M916"

    My advice to you is get rid of that piggyback 12/24 converter and get a remote mounted newer version. The OEM unit catches fire. Had happened to lots of us. The alternator itself is fine.

    M915a1 crank no start,ether will make it run for a sec

    Electric problem. Start diagnostics at ignition switch. That is the weak link.

    Turret Support Pillar - M1045/6

    Steel ring would be around 250 lbs. No thank you.

    Bumper unit markings

    Does it have delineators on the rear mud flaps? That is a clue the truck was overseas.

    Turret Support Pillar - M1045/6

    I would pay $2500 in an instant.

    Turret Support Pillar - M1045/6

    I looked into fabrication of the turret support. My plate roll guy says rolling flat bar aluminum into the ring will cause the bar to crack. So that leaves waterjetting the ring out of thick plate and machining the remaining features. This option is very expensive. So I continue my search...

    Bumper unit markings

    Oh my that cammo is some kid with a can of krylon! Certainly not MERDC camouflage.
