Suzukovich, your M151 sure has come a long way. To bad you didn't have these pictures posted earlier in the contest.

Changing out the right front brake flex line. It doesn't look to bad but I'd rather play it safe.

Not a sailing ship. This is the Armored Cruiser Aurora, the deck gun on the bow fired the first shot that started the October Revolution. The Aurora is one of the oldest steel hulled ships in the world, and she is now a Museum.

It's taken a little time for the changes to sink in, but I feel pretty comfortable with the new format.:burn:

Deet, things are looking good. I know the feeling when you have all the details taken care of, you can't wait to get it together. Coincidence, I also have an M38A1. Build date Dec. 1953. I'm getting the carburetor squared away at this time. Good Luck with yours.

USSR, I miss the Zil. I hear they are out of production and the factory is closed? :cry:

That's often the way it is, I can remember back years ago, the only Vodka you could get here in the States was Smirnoff Vodka. Part of Seagram's I think. Then after the Cold War ended folks would come back from Eastern Europe, Finland, or Russia and tell us how good the Vodka was over there...

Here in the States this is an Elite Vodka. Everyone likes a little Stoli.

Look forward to the pictures. Have fun and have a safe trip.

Lostforwords, you just never know. Last April was our 1st gathering at Camp Plymouth and it broke all previous records for attendance, and I'm sure this years will be larger still. Last year I saw several M1008 & M1009 vehicles at the event but I didn't pay attention to see if they were for...

All of the Sherman tank engines were odd-ball gasoline engines. Here is the 1st engine, the 30 cylinder A57 radial engine. It had 5 banks of 6 cylinders each, it produced 400hp but was extremely heavy. Later engines were an Air Cooled Continental 7 cylinder radial, and a Ford V8 that was 2...

This is a parade I would love to attend, as I enjoy the ones here at home. I'll bring some Tito's Vodka. It's distilled in Austin Texas.

I've heard the term Zippo's used as well.

That is true. People forget that the M4 Sherman was a medium tank with a 75mm cannon. They were cheap and quick to manufacture with the idea being to flood the battlefield with them. But they were at a disadvantage in the open countryside against heavy tanks with 88mm cannons. I understand that...

I hope I'm not going too far off topic but, since were are on the subject of the Battle of Stalingrad, and our hobby is Military Vehicles, I couldn't pass this up. This is the recovery of a Russian T-34/76 tank from the Don River, that's just a few miles from the City of Volgograd where the...

Voted. Best of Luck!!

Finished replacing the external fuel pump and it works fine with no leaks. Then I black electrical taped the wires and gave it a coat of Woodland Green. Tomorrow it's fuel filter time. SCM35A2 after the fuel filters I need to replace my drivers side wiper motor as well. 🔧
