[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

Convince us to cast our votes into your pond.

 

[Robo McDuff]

I am torn in loyalty between Adam and Robert, lets wait and see how this develops.

I voted for the locomotive. I realize that it might not be the actual entry, but I LOVE trains even more than I love green iron.

Since the last time I put the truck in the running, it has received a proper rear crossmember with pintle hitch and shackle mounts, bolted on using existing holes in the frame. I also added a deck plate.

That rascal makes the M35A3 look like a small toy!

Gotta love the lighting of those pics in the field. She's purty!

Well golly gee whizzer!!!

This vote thread has been open for a whole week and only 17 votes???

We need some heavy campaigning and voting to start today folks!! (Otherwise...I may start singing).

 

[papabear]

Well....we got 5 more votes yesterday so I won't start singing today....or will I???

 

[papabear]

OK....this is starting to remind me of our local elections for Mayor....of about 200K registered voters...only about 10% vote.....and the rest biotch about who got elected!!!

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

This month's candidates make selecting "the best of the finest" yet another tough call.

And, when an election poses tough questions it's time for as many voices as possible to speak up rather than diving into foxholes to avoiding what's necessary.

It's time to put on some armor and jump into this with gusto!!!

Rally the voters!

Let's see how many ballots can be cast!

I'll leave these pictures here. General Non-Sense has quite an oil leak from his accessory drive at the moment but he and his owner are pushing forward nonetheless. He made the round trip to Durhamtown 190 miles each way pulling the M1102 that broke my foot. He hauled about 4,000 pounds of towbars, tires, generators, etc. on the way up which provided free shipping to many members on here. More important than that, he participated in my youngest Son's Birthday Party to ensure we had plenty of room to receive gifts towing "Sarge's Trailer". General Non-Sense never complained and he'll see you again next year at the Company Picnic!

 

[Robo McDuff]

OK people, the rally is over but the voting not. I am waiting for some more canvassing from the contenders before casting my vote; let's have it!

Hello!


As always a difficult choice, as they are all beautiful vehicles.

If I could, I'd vote for the steam locomotive, very much beautiful.

I also like the Dodge from Ferroequinologist, a friend also has one, just the predecessor from World War II. He has a nice six-cylinder Flathead engine.

Since I like the American tank trucks very well, this time 155mm gets my vote.


Greetings from Germany,

Holgi

Voted, best of luck to you all!!

OK...If this doesn't make you vote for Doc's (medicup) M114, I guess I will have to tell the story of how he got it....BUT FIRST!!!

We were at the hooch one day and Doc was sweating bullets inside the M114 trying to paint the interior that sea green yucky color.

Of course he had the hatches open so you's truly stuck his head in the rear hatch and said "Hey Doc, did you get those two large ratchet bars that were issued with the vehicle??

He said "No...why would you need something like that"?

I pointed to the large nuts on each side of the rear hull (that secure the rear idlers) and said "well...to turn those"

He again said "But why"??

I said..."Those are combat backups for the engine"!

He says..."HUH"??

I said "See, if you drive into an ambush and the engine becomes NMC, the crew takes those ratchet bars and a large socket and turns those nuts to move the tracks so you can get out of the kill zone, you can even steer left or right with them".

Doc looked from one to the other and eventually said..."I don't know....I think you're pulling my leg".....but he wasn't sure....
