    Graves Mountain Rally, Syria VA August 31-September 4, 2017

    For horseback riding, you go to the stable at the main farmhouse and rent a horse or two for the specified hours (there may be a little more to it than that, but not much), but we have dropped folks off there so they could go horseback riding while we were on the trails with the MV's.

    M35 Oil Filter Seals Leaking.

    If you need a replacement tube, send me a PM with your address and I'll see about round one up, as I've replaced four of my deuce oil filters to the spin on type and still have the old stuff somewhere.

    Has anyone painted their m101 cover? (with Behr or something else)

    Haven't used the Behr on a trailer cover, but I have put Cool-Seal on a vinyl 16 x 16 frame tent where it was getting a bit thin. Done about 18 months ago and it seems to be holding up. The Cool-Seal is an elastometric and has more flex. Area painted is just below the capital "C" in this...

    Official 2017 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 18-22, 2017

    Yep, Mahala has flown deuces, and we have You Tube to prove it. You'll be able to recognize her by her tee-shirt, which says "If I had balls, they would be bigger than yours!".

    Official 2017 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 18-22, 2017

    If you regularly drive a manual transmission vehicle, you should not have any problems driving a deuce. Two things to remember, when maneuvering in first or reverse, use low range, and all steering is "ARMSTRONG", but much easier when actually rolling. And, of course, you will learn to love...

    Kansas to Toronto- M934, hauling butt and crossing boarders

    End of August is just in time for the VA Rally. If the Boss isn't at his new home by then, fly into Dulles Airport (Washington, DC) rent a car and come to the VA Rally in Syria, VA for the weekend. Last year one of the attendees ran his expando van in the truck races - with the sides left...

    Portsmouth, VA GL lot retrieve and hold for pickup

    Balke gave me the name of a wrecker service that goes on the base kinda regular. It's in a several years old PM and may take a while to find.

    MKT Info

    The data is now up to a little over 3.7 GB in electronic form (with some duplication). And includes the German Karcher TF-250 manuals (in German), the cook STP's and the full MBU manual. There is now a section on military radios (US and British) and a lot of other stuff since this first post...

    Official 2017 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally request for volunteers thread

    If we get the help we need, the MKT is generally ready to roll around noon. The latest I've left there was 1:30 (1330).

    MKT99 Trailer Weight/towing

    And if you don't have all the screens, drive up from Pawleys Island. I can probably rustle up some but will need help digging them out. I will not do it by myself, there is simply too much stored in that trailer right now.

    Glow plug light stays on, engine won't start

    Also make sure the starting relay is completely plugged in. We had a problem with Dave's HMMWV at the Gilbert parade with the same symptoms, turned out the connector was pulled out a little more than 1/8 inch from the relay. Once it was pushed back in, started up with no problems.

    What have you done to your MKT this week???

    The pot/pan is not completely square, the inside corners are rounded, see this link for what we are talking about > https://www.webstaurantstore.com/vollrath-68391-wear-ever-42-qt-heavy-duty-aluminum-roast-pan-with-handles-20-7-8-x-17-3-8-x-7/92268391.html exact same ones were used in WWII, as I...

    Cant upload EXCEL file?

    If that does not work, convert them into a CSV file (Comma Separated Values), and if they have commas within the text, the test can be put between single quote marks. IE 'xxx','xxx', etc. Those can be loaded back into Excel or most any other spreadsheet program written in the past 30 years. I...

    Request M35A2 Retrieval info

    On the hard top, see if you can get the back window open while laying on the top of the cab. Then use one of those 'can, top shelf reachers' to hook over the door handle (with Soldier B giving directions while looking in from the other side) and pull on it.

    Request M35A2 Retrieval info

    Only bad thing about a shop van is they are a brick when it comes to air flow around the vehicle going down the road. That flat front wall acts like a reverse sail, or at least it does on both of my shop vans.

    I need assistance. Moving soon and Deuce doesn't wanna.

    Fill the brake MC, then bleed the air pack, refill, then bleed the wheels one at the time, refilling the MC after each. If you had plenty of time, you could just fill the MC each day for a couple of weeks and the air would v-e-r-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y come back up through the system. It could take...

    Biobore-JF will get rid of algae. In normal use a pint will treat 1200 gallons. Then add the lubricity agent of your choice.
