Yard Sale WWII?
Yard sale find today. Anyone interested, I can get a phone number. It is in NE Oregon about 100 miles SE of Walla Walla. They are asking $1500. Don't know if it runs but it looks complete.
The other thing is that these IBC totes are light enough that I can throw them in and out easily (when they are empty). The hoses are quick coupled so I can empty the bed in less than 10 minutes.
I used to have a M105 trailer but got rid of it. The thing was so heavy (empty) that the Grizz would barely pull it. Of course, later, I found that the fuel was turned down so far (on the fuel injection pump) that the truck would barely get out of it's own way! After mounting a pyrometer and...
Water truck
Here are some pics of the Grizz, fitted out with 4 ea. 250 gallon IBC totes. I used 2" hose to manifold them together. Eventually, I will make a platform for the square tube trailer receiver to mount a Honda fire pump and hose reel. Now I can fill stock tanks on the ranch or use...
Sounds Good. I will set aside that weekend and will check back in March or so for a head count. I am looking forward to this get-together!
May 21-22 in Joseph, OR.
Scott and all-
I have looked at dates and talked with the Supreme Commander, she concurs: We could do the weekend of May 21-22 or June 25-26, if you wanted to stay away from major holidays. If you wanted to do July 4 or Memorial Day (long weekends) that is OK, but anyone who does not want to...
I really love living in rural N.E. Oregon, but miss being able to join your PNW convoy/rendezvous. If one or more ever wants to do a road trip to the beautiful Wallowa Valley, I have more than enough acreage to park a bunch of MV's and set up a camp!
I had ask on this thread about the...
Joseph
Thanks for the reply Ahab. I have a daughter living in Alexandria, VA. Joseph is at 4200 feet. So that is an almost vertical 5000+ feet rise from the valley floor to the top of the Eagle Cap Mountain peaks. Google "Wallowa County images" for some great photos of the farms, the...
Car show in Joseph, Oregon, June 12-13, 2015. The promoters of this event in the beautiful Wallowa Valley (friends of mine) would love to have participation from some military trucks, in addition to mine! Pre-Registration is pretty much sold out, but that is for dinner, etc. You can enter...
Sure wish I was closer to the action! It's a long haul from Juneau to Western WA. The trucks are mostly stored in Spokane. I am working again to get the M37 back together and on the road! Maybe by Arlington in July?
New stuff on the Grizz
Getting some new stuff on the M35A2"K". I installed the remote brake reservoir kit. What a pleasure to not have to dig under the floor board, disconnect the vent line and all in order to check the fluid level. I also got the Westach pyro/boost gauge installed. Now I...
Food is definitely on the table. When the local HOG group comes each year they get lunch and really do have a good time showing off their equipment. I am humbled when I go into the dining room at Pt. Defiance Village and look at the Wall of Honor that they have. It has pictures of dozens of...
Thanks Amer-team! I seemed to remember hearing about the Bremerton parade. Unless I hear of a group who wants to do this, I will pass on the idea of the JBLM celebration. Maybe they could take a van full to that event.
Hey you western WA MVers. My mom lives in a senior housing community near Pt. Defiance in Tacoma (Pt. Defiance Village). Here is a message she sent to me, are there any in the group who would like to contact me about doing this?
Ron and the Activities Director asked me if you knew who they...
