Saw this in my doomscroll feed today, I always thought that BAE and subsequently Oshkosh supplied cab and chassis to Lockheed Martin for the assembly of HIMARS trucks. Nope, LM builds the trucks from the frame up right there in Arkansas.
Did you guys spot this in your doom scroll feed, news media described a "85 foot former military boat" caught fire and burned stubbornly and released hazmat on the Sacramento River. Sadly on closer examination of the photos, this is or was a 85' WWII crash rescue boat from WWII used to rescue...
Came across this M36 “A0” on Craigslist and went to look at it today. If it’s a survivor it’s on advanced life support though. It’s a 1961 White with the OA331 gasoline engine. It was winch equipped until someone whacked off the frame, but the entire whacked winch comes with the truck, what...
Like a lot of us, my M915 class 8 truck has been parked during the 2 year pandemic. Looks like uncle dropped some new requirements on CDL holders in the mean time. Now we have to establish an account in the FMCSA "clearinghouse". Apparently this also applies to "owner/operators" which I am...
Actually Santa in this case is Dave and his elves at Eastern Surplus and Equipment! FINALLY got the impossible to find left rear door at a reasonable price! Thanks Eastern!
The M1079 has 24 clearance lights all of which run through this one 25 amp breaker in the PDP which in my case is getting too hot to touch and tripping. I am thinking swap to LED bulbs?
I have some JW Speaker and newer Truck-Lite 24 volt LED military headlights which i am very happy with. Apparently Interlog has entered this market. Anyone have a set they can comment on?
So I had this great idea to standardize on Deka AGM batteries in group 51, which is very close in size to the 2HN battery used in generators, Jeeps, M37's, M715's etc. Since Deka is a trusted supplier to the military, it was my plan to use this quality battery in everything I own including my...
Folks today I was cutting up the world's rusty-est deuce frame and came across these bumperette extensions. The frame serial area is deep rust pitted so couldn't sleuth any there. Was this a kit of some type or is this stock on shop vans or some other chassis that I have never noticed before?
Someone has right sides of these “fender toppers” on ebay but not the left side. I bought the one side and was amazed that the holes lined up perfectly on my 1025A2. So I decided to repop the opposite side. Common aluminum .25 thick. It is a mirror image of the ebay item except for a...
Got a multifuel deuce in and crank pulley/harmonic balancer totally loose. For anyone that has run into this before, is this a busted crankshaft? Before I tear into it just wondering.
