    Graves Mountain Rally August 30 - September 3, 2018

    Dang I don't think I'll get up there tonight. My drop dead time for leaving is in 20 minutes (otherwise I risk setting up my tent in the dark and possibly a thunderstorm) and I still have more things to do before I can leave.

    Graves Mountain Rally August 30 - September 3, 2018

    I'll be up there tomorrow. Sadly my M1009 is in the shop, so I'll just be in my jeep. Is anyone bringing a clay launcher for shotguns? If not I'll stop to pick mine up before I head up.

    Yes it is a revolver. When I say clip I mean an actual clip and not a magazine. When the US entered WWI they needed a lot more sidearms, so they decided to put out a contract for revolvers. They also wanted ammunition compatibility between the M1911 and the new revolvers, so they had to be...

    Well technically it's not everybody in that shot. Some people did not park there vehicles in the line up.

    I gave them to you to keep, I treat them as a one time use item. They can be reused if your very careful with loading and removing the spent casings, but because they're so simple to accidentally to bend I don't plan on getting multiple uses out of them. If I do than great I just don't count on...

    I had no major issues. Shortly after I left the transmission started slipping out of gear, So at the one roundabout I stopped at the 7 eleven gas station and added a quart of transmission fluid. From there I had zero other issues. I probably should have added that quart before I pushed out as...

    I'm not sure of it's composition so I just called it plastic as a catch all. I bought it 7 to 8 years ago, so you are probably right about it being glass-filled Nylon

    Graves Mountain MV Trailrides and Rally, September 1-5, 2016

    I have a basic spring loaded machine that is activated by a pull string. It can launch 3 clays at a time though the the third one, if I remember right (it's been years since I used it), tends to launch at pretty low angle, not getting more than 6-10 feet in the air. I have plenty of #7 1/2 Shot...

    Graves Mountain MV Trailrides and Rally, September 1-5, 2016

    I'll be there this year. With shotguns, is there any issue with Aerial targets? I have an old box of clays that I've had for years and a WWII Savage model 720 aerial training shotgun i just picked up that I'd like to put to use. I also have a lot of paper terrorist and hostage targets, which I...

    M1009 Heater Blower Motor

    Well I finally figured out the problem. I turned out to be the positive wire off of the switch connector were it was plugged into the wiring harness. The wire end was corroded and the male connector was a bit loose. What I suspect was happening was while I was unplugging and testing the...

    M1009 Heater Blower Motor

    I just realized something looking at the wiring schematics, if I am reading it correctly the way its wired in the CUCV, if you disconnected the plug from the resister the blower should still turn on if you set it to high. If some one does not mind I would really appreciate if some one could...

    M1009 Heater Blower Motor

    Thanks, well mine does not have a radio suppression unit, so that can not be the issue. This has me really stumped I connected a wire from the heater motor positive terminal to the positive terminal on the battery and the heater motor spun which should indicate it is good. I also tested from a...

    M1009 Heater Blower Motor

    Radio Suppression Capacitor? Would you happen to have a picture of that because I don't think mine has one, or I am just failing to recognize it.

    VA Fall Classic Car Show Salutes Military October 24

    I thought I saw a sign that said it was rescheduled to the 31st while driving today, though that might have been for a different car show. I'll make sure I'll drive by the sign tomorrow to verify one way or the other.

    M1009 Heater Blower Motor

    This is a bit of a dumb question, that I am 99.9% sure I know the answer to, but I just want to confirm. The heater Blower is not working in my truck, an I am trying to diagnose were the problem is, so I just want to confirm the theory of operations of it. In theory I believe that electricity...

    I think I'll be able to make it, as long as I am back home by than. It's pretty much right down the street from me.
