. The other pretty important part of using a tow bar is that line about DO NOT EXCEED A SPEED of 20 MPH over primary and secondary roads. I was fairly sure I saw in a TM recently that the number was "thirty" but either way, going fast shouldn't be happening...

. Don't count on that. We have had several folks here at SS not get their calendars by way of USPS. Sad to say even they have problems getting people to show up for work - with a government job. Sad to say that too many people were spoiled by getting a check for doing nothing... Enough of...

. Any chance that maybe you could go back and re-torque the bolts again? Maybe when it got warm something wiggled its way loose? Did you check the heads and the block to see that they were nice and flat using a steel ruler? It isn't like having the block or heads "surfaced" but at least you...

. Well then... Welcome to the Outfit! Chances are good that several of the guys will talk your ears off on CUCV's and there are some nice looking ones posted by their owners. Not so sure if you will come across that dime-a-dozen stash of diesel engines, but if you find it - I'd bet there...

. And the next thing will be when FedEx reports that they don't have your package...

. Apparently there was an island wide power outage on Sunday 4/10 in (on?) Puerto Rico. Supposedly they are beginning to restore power. No real details on what happened. I would imagine that Internet Access is or would be really limited there too. Hopefully all is well and in a few days we...

. Well, at least you aren't losing your mind :cool: and you have pictures to prove it!

. Here is a useful Towbar book. EDIT: Also added TM9-4910-496-10 that is pictures on how to use a Tow Bar and TM9-4910-593-12P

. Wait a minute... I think OSHA would believe you need to add a hand rail. Especially if that wine tasting got you more than two steps up the ladder :cool:

. That is a lot like DOT3 vs DOT5. For more than a hundred years, the old stuff worked just fine. Somebody felt the need to fix something, so they did. Is the new stuff better? Well, technically yes. But it was just fine before it was fixed. Anti-Freeze is the same way. The old green...

. Welcome to the Outfit as a MV owner GoBigDTVN ! Nice looking truck - and like you said - for the price you paid, you did really well. The Air Force is a different breed. Might have been that your truck ended up out in the prairie hauling supplies to a silo or control facility. .

. That is some really nice carpentry work! Best part is that you managed to cut all those pieces of wood - and created an empty bottle - and still have all ten!

. How about Road Kill Prius? With a tank... https://watch.motortrend.com/tv-shows/roadkill/videos/prius-smash

. Congratulations on the truck and Welcome to the Outfit! Can't imagine how much fun it might have been to have a job working for S&S designing pieces and parts for the truck. I have seen several of your other posts and so I guess this is the "official" welcome to the group. Hope you get to...

. Maintenance Work Order Fix the whatever that came out as instructions on paper and some parts. Things like anti-lock brake fixes and such. If the numbers on the tag are legible, you can search that number just like it was a TM and get the details. Like the M936 had a MWO for the Automatic...

. Absolutely! No need to have a tree stand when you can sit up IN the trees! Heck of a plan.

. Is this a non-profit corporation? I haven't looked to see if the national is or not. Somehow, I would imagine that there are bylaws (especially if they are non-profit) and those and the minutes of meetings should be available to the membership. Not sure that somebody off the street can...

. Interesting how that works. I spotted your post, then went back to look again and saw your new information. Glad to see that you had already started working on the MC rebuild. Sounds like you will be making steady progress and I offer good wishes for success!

. Lookin Good! Paint Job in this picture appears to match pretty well too. Price seems reasonable - and it is a lot better than a hole where the doors would be. Especially if it rains!

. That's sad, but it makes sense. Logically I would imagine that the wheel cylinders will be next. Hopefully you can find a rebuild kit for them and the MC as well. A little bit of very fine grit emery cloth to polish any rough spots will be useful as well. Seems good though. You found...
