    M37 light switch question

    Just a short note / reply to this topic; which I've just found, having worked in the electronics / RF fields for 40 years I would not use a conducting anti corrosive grease like NoOxId inside these switches, it conducts, one should use a Die Electric, or non conducting grease. NoOxId may make...

    Adding Manual Dump to M101A1 Trailers -How I did it

    Acme66, Well having run heavy equip & driven dump trucks in years past I could see where that might happen; especially if the load CG was way forward in the bed, I would say that for this to work the load CG would have to be just slightly forward of the tipping point.

    Recoating Vinyl Trailer Tarps

    Hello Rosco, I thinned down till it was paintable by paint brush, applying about a 1/8 to3/16 thick coat (which would I believe be way to thick for the tarps); howeverI think by thinning a little more one could get something that would roll outthinner, possibly 1/16 to 1/32 (say 60 to 30...
