    T24 Weasel

    Did you get it restored? With those tracks or original? I have 1943 T24, with Norwegian camo paint and accessories.

    Tutorial for uploading pictures to threads and other tech. info.

    I've been a member for several years but have never had the need to post pictures. Now that I'm a paid member, I need to get rid of some stuff cluttering my shop. Is there a tutorial on this site to teach an almost "computer illiterate" how to do these things. I'm not completely stupid, I just...

    M10A International Harvester Rough Terrain Forklift

    They are very rugged and forgiving! It won't hurt it if you "accidently" put 5 gal. of diesel in the hydraulic tank. Don't ask how I know this! It ran for years without any issues. We never tried to take it out. I haven't seen it in two years. As far as I know it's still working fine. The...

    If I had a Dollar for Every Time....

    Years ago, when I moved to the town I live in now, and was working on a few mules, trailers, and 1/4 ton trucks. I went into the NAPA store and presented them with a seal I needed. The kid behind the computer asked what it fit. "Look I'm not trying to be a smart ass, but if I told you, you still...

    What's that odd light

    Game wardens all over the US call these "sneak lights." If you're going to use one of these, it's nice to have a big winch on the front of your truck. Because it's a matter of time when you lose a little concentration and wind up in a ditch. We were forbidden to use these on public roads for...

    I got a stupid question

    I have a stupid question too. After removing the DOT 5, could you use DOT 3 in a Gamagoat? DOT 5 was used in them because they were, allegedly, amphibious. Thanks

    Unusual truck- Dust control sprayer

    Yes indeed, you're right! BUT, usually those are civilian commercial trucks. Most of those I've seen have the same chassis as a off road dump truck. This truck was a military vehicle, with all the stuff a military vehicle would have, blackout markers, 24 volt with slave receptacles, pindle...

    Unusual truck- Dust control sprayer

    Several years ago I had a friend that was in the logging business. He had one truck that I had never seen before, or since. It was at least a 5 ton, 6x6, with a detachable bed. The only data plate I can remember was one that indicated it was a "dust control unit". I could not remember any model...

    Black Out Light Replacements

    This is very interesting about the use of blackout lights and markers. I worked almost 35 years as a Tennessee game warden, and eight years as a sheriff. Don't know about other states. but it was common to see BO headlights on patrol vehicles. A few of us had NVGs and IR headlights on the front...

    Asplundh Tree Service Unimog

    I appreciate your knowledge and input. I would love to have a Case MB-94, and so would one of my grandsons, he is a diesel mechanic at a Case IH dealership. That vehicle is wayyy before his time, but I bet some if the older mechanics might remember it. I promised him everything on the place with...

    Asplundh Tree Service Unimog

    THAT"S IT! The Case mog is the one I remember. Of course it was painted with the Asplundh company colors and logo on the doors. So you say the 406 is the same vehicle as the SEE and HMMH vehicles, I didn't know that. As Sheriff I had one of each. Great vehicles! The only problem I could see...

    AFVs for sale

    My dad was a artillery mechanic for 101ABN. They referred to these as a SPAT, self propelled anti tank. I remember dad talking about they demilled a bunch of those for a surplus sale, don't remember the year. They were bought by a logging company somewhere up Wisconsin way, or at least in that...

    Converto Trailer

    I recently found one in a town near me. What would one be worth? I realize it depends on how original it is. I can't remember if the lunette hitch is intact. Otherwise it appears to be quite original.

    Asplundh Tree Service Unimog

    After looking at dozens of pictures and checking the timeline of manufacture of different models, I believe that unimog was a 406 model.
