Come check out our progress of the restoration of this piece of history. We will be having our first public viewing of the USCG-11, a 1942 83ft wooden hulled Coast Guard cutter that served as a rescue vessel during the 1944 Normandy D-Day landings. We have a long way to go, but feel it's...

Slightly different issue with my 005 - I can start and run just fine - holding the start switch will flash as designed and then I have Hz and V on the panel (and can adjust both with RPM and the Field Knob respectively) but I get nothing to the input of the main breaker (no power on either side...

Been lusting after these forever and finally jumped on it... Pulled the trigger and she gets to come out of retirement as an icebreaker and get some restoration and to go swim again Can't wait to get it home... Matt

Looking at bidding on an LVT4 but need to figure out shipping arrangements before I get painted into a corner... Anyone got some good leads for moving 26,000lbs cross country (26ft tall x 11ft wide x 8ft tall) Thanks Matt

Taking some logs to the sawmill yesterday - my neighbors sister is building a house and they wanted to get some beams out of these - was an interesting pick and carry ;) Matt

Pretty normal stuff here :whistle: - just stack 34,000 lbs of steel plate on the 5th wheel and get to moving some serious steel... The C/P Starbound is getting 60 feet added to the midships and Dakota Creek has been using a HET to tow the bow section back and forth for positioning and mock...

I have had a 1984 MEP-005a for a while now and got it running well a few months ago but didn't have anything of note to load test it with so I have only briefly run it... I was having issues with the day tank not refilling and had taken out the float; found that lower stop for the upper float...

Sunken LVT4 off Agat Beach, Guam This one is a bit past resto efforts but I was still pretty stoked to get the chance to dive the wreck and check it out while I was down in Guam doing a marine diesel engine overhaul for Military Sealift Command (250mm bore V-16 Bergen)... Anyhow - enjoy - I...

I have searched high and low both on the web and through my local contacts and I cannot find a replacement for the electric brake lock that locks the rear wheels on the wreckers Mine was working great when I got the truck and about a year ago it began to not apply intermittently - now there is...

I have a 66 M35a2c and tow a 79' zehman flat deck trailer with 12v electric wheel brakes - I am wondering if what thoughts you all have about using 24v to trigger the electromagnatic brakes - should work just as a 12v system does (magnet shouldn't care 24v vs 12v...) I was thinking about 3...

Hiya guys - I figured I would toss these in here since that seems to be the closest spot... I just aquired two MG-1's (M2 HST) a 1942 and a 1943... I am looking for the impossible - the rear air compressor and fender mounted genset both of which are PTO driven... Both of these tractors will...

Been working on getting my wrecker cleaned up and in order. Got the rear half of the frame cleaned and painted - mounted up a set of 16.00r20's on 20 stud 5-ton combat rims and she sits a little higher now... Gotta prep and paint the back of the cab then will put the bed back on and prep for...

I have been having some issues with my M35a2 (1966 overhauled in 1989 with a multi-fuel and the C turbo) the last two times I have driven it... It seems to get off the line ok and run to 10 - 15 mins with the RPM's able to go to 2850 with no issues... The last two trips were 200+ miles; and...

Hey guys - long time coming but I got my 1400's mounted up on the deuce over the weekend... I made a set of extended control arms and plan on adding a bit to the spring perch later if needed - so far it looks like it won't be required... I also had to cut 1.25" out of the step and support to...

Just a quick pictorial of how to mount up a double beadlocked rim... Corkscrew in the beadlock and bolt it up; position it centered in the rim; apply the o-ring to the rim shell and lower the tire over it; place the lock ring and start the securing hardware with molykote or antisieze on the...

I know this has been a long time coming but here is the finished product; if anyone would like machining print information on how to do this please let me know - there are several variations on this theme as far as the placement of the center which affects the scrub and clearance of the tires...
