Haven't tired the oil test yet, but just ordered the kit. Blackstone Labs Kit is shipped for free. Test is $22.50. I'm going to try it on the M1028. Like chicken soup - may not help - but it can't hurt. ;)

Get in touch with m38inmaine he has a restored rig in Maine. Some photos of his outfit in the this section in the S250 ham conversion thread. Attached are some photos of my S250 on the M1028. Unfortunately all of the radios had been removed. I'm slowly cleaning it out and will install some HAM...

Although we had a RATT Rig with the Bn TOC (when the were able to establish a net and the equipment was working) mounted in an M577 Command Post Carrier, I have never worked with the gear. I had "specialists" that sat in that box with the "classified" equipment and sweated. While I worked in the...

Had that problem with the M1028 when I got it - checked fuses, bulbs, etc. - problem was in the civilian headlight switch. Of course you made sure that the military switch was in "service drive" - always double check the obvious. :)

Welcome aboard neighbor. I'm in Northern NJ and will probably be driving my M1009 to the MTA show in April and displaying my M1028 with S250 shelter. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. Here is the url for the show information: MTA* Spring Swapmeet

The manuals for this series of radios are available for download in the "Resources" area at the top of the screen. Look for the: TM 11-5820-401-xx manuals. The attached drawing is from an installation kit and will give you some ideas regarding installation of antennas, radios, etc. The VRC-12...

I don't have any "hands on" experience with this equipment, but a quick google provides a lot of info. Try this link to see the AN/GRC-50 in a shelter as part of a system: http://www.cleocat.org/tour/ Drawing of the equipment and possible configurations attached from a correspondence course...

I have a spare radio shelf for the passenger side of the M1009. I don't have all the legs for it, but can provide a sample and correct lengths for the 3 legs so you can fab them. PM if you are interested and I'll dig it out and take photos.

Photos would help. Could be the older VRC-12 family of radios or the newer SINCGARS family of radios. Are there any cable with the radio rack? The various types of radios do not share the same cables, so that could be a clue. Is there a radio mount in the rack? The type of mount would tell a...

Yes, it is back ... with a revised listing from what I recall on the original. Lots of stuff removed, lots of stuff disconnected or disassembled, etc. If you look at it as a 120' hull and have deep pockets it would be interesting to get it operational. But reality says that only a government...

I've never seen the military mount pioneer tool racks on the M1009, but I did see a privately owned one that had the rack mounted inside on the left (driver's) side. He had fabbed some sort of attachment and had it mounted over the rear window. Attached to the truck above and below the window...

As a bachelor I don't have to concern myself with spousal approval of the various projects that I get myself involved with. My dog loves me regardless of what stupid things I do, and he usually likes the vehicles that I buy. My neighbors are another story ... ;)

I think it is obvious that the contractor that wrote the TM from which I quoted made a mistake when listing the weight of the shelter. The web brochure from Wenzlau Engineering for the S-250 shows the following weight: Weight: With EMI kit 762 lbs. min. - 802 lbs. max Without...

According to "the book," : TM 10-5411-205-13 1-10. Equipment Data. Height 70.125 in (178.11 cm) W i d t h 79.0625 in (200.82 cm) Length 86.625 in (220.03 cm) Gross weight Shield 770 lb (349 kg) empty Unshielded 782 lb...

Or, you could stencil "NO SMOKING" on the dash, as required for all (right thinking) military vehicles and put something else in the ash tray slot. ;) Actually, I think that any civilian (junk yard) blazer ash tray would work. I remember back in the "Old Corps" when C-Rations had cigarettes...

I have a pdf copy of TM 5-5180-220-12&P for the: PORTABLE ELECTRIC TOOLS TRAILER MOUNTED AIR DROPPABLE PIONEER TOOL OUTFIT M O D E L 3 2 4 0 PART NUMBER 13217E0400 Can't post it to resources due to the distribution restriction: Distribution authorized to U.S. Government agencies only due to...

RE: TM 5-5180-220-12&P I have a copy of this manual, however it can't be uploaded to the resources section due to the distribution restriction: Distribution authorized to U.S. Government agencies only due to limited rights to data enclosed herein. This determination was made on 19 October...

Nice looking rig. So when will you add the gen trailer? :) The project is never finished ... just accomplished in multiple (on-going) stages.

Regulator: It was an amazing upgrade when compared to the PRC-8/9/10 that we had to lug around before that - especially when you consider that it covered the frequencies that had previously required 3 radios. But, yes, it is a dog by today's standards. I stand corrected on the AM-2060. It is an...

1. To communicate with either of these radios you must have an amateur radio operator's license (as stated previously) and the ARRL web site is a good starting point. As to not finding anything on the web about a ham license? I did a google on ham radio license and found 26,400,000 listings...
