Dave, You have all the luck finding these old girls. The one is definitely marked for 1 SVC BN, which when I was around this stuff, were at Sarcee in Calgary before everyone went off to Edmonton. On the Ortona visits, I have to say its more than a few years ago. There were a number of reasons...

Those are great pictures. I particularly like the setup of the M135CDN on the bridge section. Its a great way to display a monument vehicle. The group shot is great as there are less and less of these runners around. What armoury is the 15 Circus Bn located at these days? Looks like a new...

Its hard to tell from the picture what size the casing is. Blank for sure, and usually when the 7.62 that I was most familiar with were fired, the crimped end would open up a little, but not much. As mentioned, I'd have someone local who is familiar with these have a quick look at it to...

Those are great pictures. Is the CN locomotive part of an excursion train or a display? The hartop will take some work, like most of them they were used to stand on when halted anywhere for more than 15 or 20 minutes and the cam nets had to come out. Some were worse than others, depending on...

After seeing the results, I'm sold on the molasses process. One thing, that hasn't been mentioned is the smell. Its not the kind of stuff you want to do in the livingroom next to the Harley but if covered and left forgotten for awhile, its should be great on rusty steel. I can't say what it...

I had the occasion to see the results when I visited JDCM at his shop. Pretty impressive to see how it works, without serious chemicals and disposal issues of some other methods. Its not fast but who's in a hurry anyway? I was also lucky enough to be able to see the Stuart tank and Sherman...

Here is a thread with a few good pictures in Post #5. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?p=210590#post210590 And yet another that expands a bit. YouTube has some good videos posted. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=25360&highlight=rust+removal I'll document...

Dave, Those TC parts look like they could be candidates for the molasses and water rust removal process. A friend does this for tracks and Sherman gear boxes and the bits come out like new. I have a small JD crawler that I am going to test out the theory on if I ever get caught up on the long...

That's an Iltis, built by Bombardier. They are not too fondly remembered by some of those who used them. Canadians were sent to Afganistan with those but after a few IEDs, they were replaced by something a little more suited to the environment. For an MV enthusiast, they are an inexpensive...

Here's a GMC 302 that somebody might be interested in. Sorry, no trans. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?p=224864#post224864

Back in the day, MILCON summer exercises were held in Ft Lewis, and we would drive all our old stuff down there from British Columbia. They had range targets that were at least in as good condition as our still in service deuces. On a couple occasions there were some sympathetic US Army folks...

Ah, yes. the Iltis... Loved and hated by many. Is that one of Dave's? Jess

Case tractor power shuttles use/used a Case proprietory fluid labelled TCH, then Hytran and Hytran Ultra. No idea who the actual manufacturer is for this product. I have a '68 Case 580CK with the power shuttle and only use Hytran Ultra. After a change to Ultra, the shuttle clutches seemed to...

Grandbaby Birds.... A few weeks and they will have flown the coup if they are like out here. I have a couple of nest around the property and am always happy to see them every year. This year, they decided that my stack of scaffold frames leaning against the shop was as available, so now there...
