    M1078 crane options/alternatives?

    . Another idea is the big orange fan connects to the baby carrier - and it becones an Air Boat! (until the extension cord unplugs itself).

    M1078 crane options/alternatives?

    . I was thinking that was one more BIG BABY if it is a baby carrier!

    BATGUANO - An M151A1 of the 265th ASA, ABN, 101st ABN

    . Well, for whatever it is worth to you - There are plenty of smart ass people here in almost every line of business! Texas doesn't have the market cornered on that type of people. :-(

    Replacing lift pump

    . That is an amazing "shop trick" to hold that rod in place for sure! Great part is that it washes away after a few miles of run time too...

    Title or SF97 Form for HMMWV

    . They are "short" for sure. Remember, this is the same government that sends you out onto the tarmac at 0600 and departure doesn't happen until 1000

    Looking for interrupt switch

    . Agreed 100%. Those who don't will wish they had. Especially when the need for proper operation is greater.

    Looking for interrupt switch

    . It is called a "Love Tap" where it ain't working and now it is - and then it gets fixed when the calamity is over :cool: I think a lot of these machines sit more than they are used. Contactors will get gummy and sticky from sitting and being exposed to "the elephants of the weather". Contact...

    Please help me make a plan to Move from Tampa To Chattanooga with shipping containers.

    . Don't know who has portable scales - but that is definitely what the DOT man has in the trunk of their car. That is how they figure out how much to give when you feed his (her?) bubblegum machine on the side of the road. Maybe there are companies that would rent one. Or maybe offer a remote...

    Please help me make a plan to Move from Tampa To Chattanooga with shipping containers.

    . I am looking from a distance, but those look like HEAVY little boxes. Maybe nuts and bolts and washers? Sometimes I rain on the parade, but there is something to consider here... Something has to pick up or drag the container. Somebody has to have an idea what the contents will weigh...

    My (new) M1008...

    Another idea might be to use one of these air nozzles with the venturi effect on it. Clear line sucks up whatever cleaner and then, UNDER PRESSURE blows away the crud. Works really well so long as you remember to NOT BLOW YOURSELF UP. You will be vaporizing the fluid making it easier to ignite!

    Please help me make a plan to Move from Tampa To Chattanooga with shipping containers.

    . Well @Freshstart , Everybody else has already covered the wrecker and towing containers. I second or third the weight of the wrecker! 5-Ton wreckers are heavy and not really go-fast vehicles. You mentioned " The wrecker would make clearing land ....... easier". Have to ask what kind of...

    Deuce Jack Safety Questions

    . Ever seen the Joe Dope US Army Training Films ? I specifically remember watching Joe Dope crib a Deuce with a stack of boards. Not nice and neat in a square. In a tall stack 1 wide and maybe 6 high under the middle of the axle. And off camera you could hear him scream. The front of the...

    Brakes not releasing

    . Hi Greasy , I was rummaging for something else and stumbled across this thread. Just curious what the outcome was with the "sticking brakes / brakes that won't release" problem on your M-548? -- Doubt my latest problem has anything to do with it, but I have short story: I have a fair...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    . Must have forgotten to grease those bearings after installing them yesterday. You suppose that is going to be a problem. Hmmm. Dang that's hot!

    Fuel shut off solenoid exploded internally!?!

    . So, if the vehicle needs to track correctly (steering wheel unlocked) for towing (Tow Bar Towing) . . . Is the right answer to disconnect the battery to avoid the problem in the picture below? Or, Should it only be trailered? OR is it just plain and simple old age and a new part wouldn't...

    Niek's M1008

    . Similar things happen here. The stupid people ruin things for everyone else... Most often, the inspectors here in the states will come to the vehicle to inspect it. I imagine there are inspectors with larger areas to cover who don't operate like that - out in the county possibly - or out in...

    Niek's M1008

    . That isn't a bad report... I almost wonder if the droopy cooler lines and the seatbelt situation wasn't a nice distraction for the inspector. Hopefully they will just look at those five things - and help you out the door!

    HEMTT, well kind of

    . Before recently, I wouldn't have thought big green trucks would be all that interesting that the movie people steelypip . However, I have seen several calls posted here for trucks. All of them have been on the other side of the country - but there are definitely opportunities! We have had...
