    Here are some pictures of the ranch. I had to wait till it snowed a bit to cover the scars of the logging equipment going across the fields. Thank goodness it is only select logging and not clear cut. Hope this will tide you over for a bit, Plowboy. Of course you are always welcome to stop in...

    The legend of the 50 dollar jeep is true!!! I talked to the owner and he said if I could get it out of his property I could have it. I said that was generous of him but I wouldn't feel right and wanted to pay him something. He said 50 bucks I said done. It is a cj3a. Just got out to look at it...

    I haven't had a chance to go back and look at that old jeep to find out it year and model number yet. In my research it seems the body style is a cja3 bit the windshield is from a cj2a? The cja3 had a single windshield glass where the cja2 had two. Either way it would be cool to fix up and...

    I will try to take some pics this weekend and post em up. I found this gem close by. What do you figure. Is it worth trying to rescue or continue letting it hide in a field? Wish I could make out more on the data plates. I can't even tell if it was military or civy.

    The banana bus is awesome! That thing screams retro RV. You never fail to impress with all your great history lessons and treasures brought back to life. I recall you telling me you were looking for a particular jeep I believe. Shoot me a pm or enlighten us all again so that we may be able to...

    A crop of green in a field of green! Looks perty!! I would love to have the cannon to terrorize my neighbors with. The 1400 series tires would be nice to beef up my truck to!! I would take the shell to the local RCMP detachment for disposal. If your unsure about it and want to be safe it would...

    Lots of good useful tidbits. The headlight studs are a big bonus to me! I remember having older vehicles with those style studs and they would rust out or the heads strip and finding replacements was becoming harder and harder as the new vehicles with sealed lens style evolved. Just spit...

    I was told my the guy who rebuilt my generator for my 1954 Farmall tractor that if the generator was new or re spoiled it needed to be spun up with a Smaller electric motor or he said a power drill with a socket on the end works well. If the generator was spun in the wrong direction the polarity...

    Hmmm tough choice!!! I am a little partial to the lighter olive drab which is seen in the old combat green uniforms before the God awful digital stuff came out. However my eyes keep getting drawn to the M211 in the pic. I am not really a big fan of the tri color camo paint style but that one...

    Awesome!!! Hehehehehe. Gonna see if I can get my mill to order a 5 gallon pail. They are buying tons of speed enamal paint for an expansion build of the planer and sort bins. If I slip a print out of this into the pile of out going orders you never know what will happen! Bwahahahaaha!! Is it...

    I have only ever seen one of those FC jeeps myself. It was for sale, 2500 I think. Probably still there to. They weren't very popular.

    USMC 00-08 I am sure if a fella went to their local glass shop and bought an appropriate sized piece of plexiglass then welded up a frame out of some channel iron,painted OD of course, then sealed with caulking, it would protect it from hail and dirt and debree. Some one else may have another...

    USMC 00-08 Way cool! Especially the weather! The battery tender looks like a good deal! I am planning on getting this solar battery tender, whenever I get a chance to go to the big city an hour and a half away. It is weather proof and works even in low light conditions. Sells for around 50...

    The G749 farm looks good! Especially like the pic of Goose and Gracie together. The hint of frost on the girls give a them the extra whimsical touch. Instead of fighting with the battery hold down bracket could I guy swap it out for a small OD ratchet strap or bungee? I know it wouldn't be stock...

    For some reason I can't drag the pics to attach to this post. That M135 is one of the ones I mentioned to you on your visit. I was set to buy it last winter but the fellow sold it out from under me. It was used as a bush fire truck post military service. I had posted pics in my thread a while...

    All right I managed to dig around and find the black out lights. Instead of 6 I found 7!!! Though I am not sure you could call them all black out lights. One is a tail light for sure. They are all yours M1010plowboy! Some of the lenses are not in the greatest condition and all of them could...

    I like the MV fire log. They should play that at Christmas on TV instead of the same old wood logs burning. I would and watch all night! Those mirrors look fine and dandy! Should look nice and slick on one of your rigs! USMC 00-08 if remember right you are correct. The five legged spider was...

    Engine dogs! Oh how I miss the good old engine cooking from my running equipment for paving companies and such. Now I am really hoping that tranny is the gold nugget for you. Gonna check the trucks for those lights tomorrow and make sure they are all there and waiting for you. Secrets? I hold no...
