just saw an awesome demonstration of the mobility of a Pinzgauer. See http://youtube.com/watch?v=JOKIeaqtPzY Brought back some memories, a buddy and I once ferried a Pinzgauer through Austria and half of Germany a few years ago. It was in winter and I thought my feet would fall of because it...

Well I'd say you feel if this is necessary when stepping on the brake pedal after changing and bleeding the mbc. I swapped my mbc a few months ago, but the truck sat for a while without an mbc at all and this probably drained more fluid out of the lines over the time. Therefore I had to crack...

drool!

During my restoration of the deuce I needed it to run in high idle (900-1000 rpm) for airpressure over a prolonged time. I noticed that it didn't like that particularly. It dribbled oil out of the breather tube and leaked a little through the exhaust manifold gasket (presumably unburned...

@ bigmillman: > Makes my duece look like it is ready for the crusher :-; hoo some sandpaper and a bucket of od24087 could take care of that! Thanks for the nice words! Wish I could attend "The Gathering", but that's a mighty long swim over the pond...

bc + kenny pm sent Gerhard, you're right of course, I'll wait a little longer, maybe mvdataplates / Rod responds after all. You don't know in these days if mails disappear in spam filters or accidentally get erased while sorting out anyway. I wanted to order other dataplates / stickers as...

My truck is missing the weight & dimension dataplate, which is mandatory for official operation here because it has the VIN and manufacturer on it. Right now I don't have anything and this could bring me into trouble if someone would check on that. I already tried to contact mvdataplates.com...

Ken, good explanation. Below is a picture of typical signs designating the mlc (military load class) of a bridge. But there are usually two signs, one for wheeled and one for tracked vehicles, and one-way or two way traffic. ---> edit: this is the european sign, I don't know what they look...

I want 2 of these MX2799 badly, but you hardly get them over here, and they are expensive.

Great, I really like those pictures [thumbzup] !

8 tons I presume EDIT: some explanations and further references are found in the TB-746-93-1 Section 14ff in the Resources / Technical Manuals on the StSo site here.

Thanks guys! After the field trip it doesn't look so immaculate anymore ;-) But that's ok, dirty and used, that's they way they should look in my opinion. I've seen an old 60ies picture somewhere of a shopvan w/w which had a rope wrapped around the front bumper, so I thought that looks neat and...

Thanks for that great information! Most likely the SINCGARS radios have the matching unit integrated in the radio itself, which makes an external matching unnecessary. As a little addition there should be mentioned that theres a predecessor to the MX6707, the MX2799. See picture. It has...

Thanks! The yellow front end were painted on the hoods so commanders could identify "their" vehicles in a convoy from the air (only 8GP) .

Hi altogether, so finally another yellow nosed deuce drives around! Last thursday I finished the restoration the way it looks now on the pictures. Then we went to a magnificent field trip over the weekend :-) There's still a little to be done, like the inside of the bed, and the underside...

That's when the fun starts :-) Hardly can wait to post a picture of my deuces first official work out! Mark

If the fluid dissapears without a noticeable outside tell-tale sign it could have leaked into the pressure chamber of the airpack. Not good, and will generate another massive problem sooner or later. Also if I had a dry mbc over a longer time I'd surely open it to have a look inside and...

Sorry to chime in with my own idea, but I understand that one of the problems of filtering the waste oil is its high viscosity, which makes filtering it or letting it sit so the crap can settle at the bottom a lengthy process. What if the oil is diluted with a small amount of gas so the...

thought the same, and its a bit of a shame that they let it sit (eventually rot) outside. Someone should close that air-vent and pay a little attention to the front window frames as well as the interior. Beautiful CCKW!

Oh, it will fit allright if you back up hard enough :-)
