. Just a quick read on the Counterbalance Valve link... Very Interesting. As described, that system (valve) should require hydraulic pressure to lower the boom. IE: Motor Running, Hydraulic Pump engaged and pumping fluid. The M936 that I have with the boom up can be lowered with the...

. What if you created a motorized roller on the back... With a belt wrapped around an "idler" roller on the front. That way you could move a little or at some metered speed. It could still be hydraulic powered. Maybe less likely to get fouled with slats that won't lay back down? Roller would...

. Really Nice!!

. Wow! Those prices for a hard cover book is pretty dang reasonable @ Barnes & Noble. Theis maximum page count is 800, so a lot of TM's would require two books but still - that isn't bad at all... The only thing may be copyright concerns. They (B&N) are a big target, so I imagine they...

. Could be that Joy dish soap would work. If it works getting oil off ducks, maybe it would get oil off a big green truck. :cool: Maybe a weed sprayer mixed with hot water to load up the back of the truck, then spray it with a hose? Less chance of attacking the paint maybe?

. I really like those steps on the passenger side! There might be more of us that could use some details on that part of the project when you get your lights worked out. Definitely a big plus for vertically challenged or maybe for an older Veteran @ a parade! That ladder plan might be worthy of...

. I spent a little time today at our local DMV "contract station" in Harrisburg NC. Having the STES information "in my back pocket" I showed up today, April 16th, 2021. The people that work there are not government employees. They have always been courteous and fast. Today was really no...

. I love that place... Looks so peaceful. Bet it isn't when a fire is running up that hill, but otherwise nice! Definitely have to go for a spin around the block every now and again. Loop Road sounds like good spot. Long enough to go for a ride, short enough that home isn't too far away...

. Hey Owen, In my mind, you get extra points for working as a "shade tree mechanic" like myself. Every job I do on my truck means about twenty trips into the house (work building). My guess your experience is a lot like mine when it rains. You get wet. I get wet. We do it anyway - cause we...

. Or maybe as reading material on the porcelain :)

. Neat!! I was wondering about 12/24 and where or if that was going to happen. If nothing else, maybe I can get the bolts undone and snap a few pictures to study. Appreciate the pointer to where I need to be looking! Thanks Ferretboy Thanks Guyfang I personally avoid being an Expert. An...

. Maybe you get extra points for answering your own question? I had grand plans to go out and crawl under mine and look around. Looks like you found it though... :)

. Welcome from North Carolina! Be sure to download the HMMWV Technical Manuals (TM's). They are free for download here. Tons of information in the TMs. How much oil, how much gear oil... All that stuff you need to know. Those books also show you how to operate your new arrival. The "-10"...

. Wow! That is a neat article. I can't remember where I was reading very recently - but some of the very first tanks were nothing more than a caterpillar with a little armor plating around the critical components... Actually, the tracked version was a major upgrade since the first armored...

. I was hoping it might include some track - or maybe a timeshare spot on their rails :cool:

. Welcome from North Carolina! You are in for a lot of fun. There will be a little fussing here and there when you just "knew everything was fixed" and you find out it isn't. That is part of the magic of this hobby though - and it it doesn't make you pull your hair out - you will be better...

. Based only on reading forums, that appears to be what I understand. These numbers were stamped into the hull. There is also a thick aluminum metal plate also attached to the hull. This one also came with a street title, so maybe with some effort and time I can take her for a spin :cool...

. I will definitely gather pictures off my phone and post them here. They will be "hot off the trailer" images. It is going to need a little cleaning and paint, but all in all, she looks pretty good. The engine compartment has a lot of chipping paint. I figure once I get it powered up, then...

. Evening Sir. I have not started measuring for voltage on the ignition. I need to go rummage some of my books and see what the distribution box looks like. I have never worked on a Rolls Royce before. Hot to the coil inspection is where I think I will start... I know what that looks like :)...

Hi guys, We have been through the "is it getting fuel" exercise. The banjo bolt on the carb loosened, the electric fuel pump shoves it out like a fountain. Didn't bother removing the air cleaner cap to look and see if it "squirts". Have removed the plugs about a week ago and pumped lots of...
