    anybody know a good shipping company...??

    Surplus transport is by far the best. Eric knows what he is doing and is a fellow SS'er. It will cost you about $3/mile plus tolls etc.

    New Data Plate Source

    Greg, I am not sure about a punch - I would think it may distort the metal. Could you etch a center point where each hole is located? Then I would drill it with the appropriate size bit in a drill press. Really nice work though! tcody

    Need info on NSN

    I don't think I took this any further than you, but my read is that the usual style battery terminal cleaner is 5120-01-256-9187. 5120-01-232-1215 may be cleaning fluid can but since the FSC is for Hand Tools, Non-edged, Non-powered which would lead me to think probably not. I wonder if it is...

    NOS USMC M1028 from Norway Storage

    Dude - You did the right thing. Even though it sometimes seems like you get slapped around a little by being honorable in the end you will never regret it. I know things will work out for you. Keep us posted.

    Mk48 Death Hop?

    My truck bounced a lot after about 30 mph - just figured that was a combo of the suspension and tire balance. I won't take it on a trip until I get it licensed, but once I do I'll give you a better assessment. As Pete mentioned at low speeds there is a valve that operates the articulation...

    LVS Wabco air dryer trouble shooting

    I need some trouble shooting help for a MK48 air dryer. The LVS is having trouble airing up. During the loading cycle the purge valve is dumping air making getting the pressure up hard. It looks like a Wabco super saver twin model. Is it likely just a problem with the purge valve or could it...

    SEE questions

    I thought it was a M350. At any rate there should be a data plate on the drivers side of the boom mounting point and you can get the parts through any CASE dealer.

    French Camp emergency pick-up

    Well, the plot thickens. Not only did the guy bring a loaded weapon onto a base which I can't imagine what he was thinking, but now is asking for a 25% cancellation fee???? Thanks guys for the PM's - I think I got it covered with a new shipper.

    French Camp emergency pick-up

    Steve, Thanks. I will call the base in the AM. I guess the guy created quite a stir so I am sure they are aware of what happened. Cody

    Erickson sky crane

    1st cavalry skycrane. Father in law was in the cavalry when they still rode horses and then a pilot. He isn't around anymore to ask about them. I wonder if there are any still in service?

    Erickson sky crane

    From Olive-drad "CH54A Sky Crane (powered by two Pratt & Whitney T73-P-1 4500 shp turbine engines) could lift 20,000 pounds while the improved CH-54B (powered by two Pratt & Whitney T73-P-700 4800 shp turbine engines) could lift over 40,000 pounds. There was an internal winch so payload could be...

    CAT uses their controls and they share some other parts, but ASV was the original designer i believe.

    MK15A1 unloading

    Best money I ever spent. That skidloader is a small tank. I thought it would be a tough trailer to unload at nearly 30K, but the loader had no trouble lifting the tongue and gently pulling it down the ramps. 2 years ago when we got those blizzards in Illinois, it was the only thing that could...

    MK48 LVS TM / Manual

    Ryan, PM me your address. I will go to wallmart tomorrow and get some CD's and try to burn you a copy of what I have. I have never done it before so no promises and I have a MAC so hopefully you can read it, but it's worth a shot.
