I'm on the fair board here and some years back, we even poured a special pad for the 'Truck Pulls", that lasted three years and they stopped coming. The pad is unused a waste of time and money. We thought of adding a class for trucks in the regular pulls that the tractors (modified and other...

IF you're looking for the original rims for the 2 1/2 ton cargo trucks, we've a few here in Sandusky, Ohio that you can have for getting them out of here. We've had a number of them show up for one reason or another over the last 25 years and don't have a need for them.

They're STILL doing it that way there. They are almost the only coal dock left on Lake Erie. (there's a double roll over dumper in Toledo they called 'sputnik') The dock here can run mixed loads loading from dumped cars, ground stored and silo stored coal types to custom load. Just a weird...

Try OHIO TIRE TERMINAL, 2620 West Monroe Street in Sandusky. (419) 502-0091. Its over by the entrance to the Norfolk and Southern Lower Lakes Coal Docks. Mitch and the crew over there are GOOD at what they do, and he has been able to get about everything our outfit needs. (sometimes they even...

Keep this up and the manufacturer is gonna want to buy it back. WOW, what a piece of history and the work you're putting in makes this "One of a Kind" machine worth it. Great Job.

We use alot of the paint from Mark and have no issues with it. Touch up or complete repaint. works well and holds up. (only project we didn't use it on due to the fact they don't make it was restoration of a 113 year old Japanese field gun thats displayed in Port Clinton, Ohio. It was...

Did you by chance get the single point four leg lifting sling with it? There should be four lifting pads on it, two about a third of the way back from the bow and the other two just ahead of the engine compartment. If not, a crane company can lift it with a 100 to 150 ton hydraulic truck...

There are several that would like the work, you're just going to have to contact them. Look at the smaller boat yards first that have the hoist capable of lifting the weight of the boat. Our outfit has three aluminum LCM-8's (46 tons) and here in our part of Ohio, there is ONE marina that can...

Our "Group" has an extra engine, been sitting for a while, I'll see if maybe they want to part with it, Our M-37 runs well and we don't put a lot of miles on it so the engine might be considered 'excess' to our needs. I'll let you know.

I looked at the 211/135 seats and there is NOT much difference, that's for sure. They didn't re-invent the wheel just for racks then like they would today. Just a much easier and common sense approach to it then.

Think I've got some troop rack hardware, most likely enough for a whole set here in Ohio. (you can have it, its been sitting around here quite a while, just pay shipping, or pick it up if you're over this way for the Findlay Ohio show. I've an original CCKW/CCW early all steel cargo bed, the...

At least you've got a goo0d looking machine there, A member our HMV club here has a nice one and won't sell it. I HAD an older M-62 with a Continental R6602 in it, the rig needed quite a bit, and was planning to do it, but... (convinced my wife that because I had a 5 ton cargo and at that time...

Welcome from Sandusky. You'll find a good bunch of helpful people on here, and depending where in the state you are, there's parts for most everything, (like the Findlay, Ohio Armed Forces weekend event, vendors from all over the COUNTRY end up there.

I've got one here in Ohio thats been on the shelf for awhile if you're interested. Can check to see what shipping would be with an address.

You caught them just in time. If you can have somebody get to Sandusky, Ohio, I'll let you have them. (they'll fit in the back of a pick-up easily or an SUV if you don't carry a bunch of kit. Know anybody coming up to the National Rifle and Pistol Matches at Camp Perry? I can hang onto them...
