    user names/handles

    I went to the member list and found a user name that I think I tried to use a long time ago (2004) Could that be my failed attempt to register??? If that is me, can I change my username to that?? The name I tried to use back then is Wingnut Thanks

    Ham Radio Operators / Steel Soldiers

    RE: Green Radios ... just checking that chatbox. Sound stupid? No, it doesn't sound stupid. (Murphy's seventh law of combat states "If it sounds stupid but it works...It ain't stupid) That having been said, I still haven't even figured out how to post an avatar. when I get it down to 160 X...

    Ham Radio Operators / Steel Soldiers

    Green Radios The 524 is a nice radio, If money permits, I'll have one (some day) It is compatible with the PRC-77 in the "new on" squelch mode and with the RT-68, PRC 10 and PRC-6 in the "old on" mode. We have several "hams" in our MV club and have found that the green radios stand up better...

    Oil line??

    Oil line Mine is peeing up there, too, can't find exactly where though. I didn't smell it, but when I stopped for a break, there was enough oil blowing aft that there was a circle on the ground where it dripped off the spare. Lane: if you find a supplier, please post here and I'll buy one too.

    AC-130U Gunship up close

    How much closer do you want me? In the AF formation work, the closest formation was called "fingertip" That's what the Thunderbirds fly in their "4 ship" The Tech Order defines fingertip as 0 to 50 feet. It always seemed to me that it should be just a little bit bigger than "0" The one in the...

    Another 10KW genset question

    Mine has this plate and valve too. The guy I got it from told me that they came from a field laundry unit and the heater was a gas fired water heater. I've never seen the field laundry, so this is just hear-say.

    What are these for

    Nice goodies. Those are most (maybe all) of the parts for the axel clamp accessories for the tow bar. Can be used if the bumper shackles are ruined or missing,

    Help with uh-48 multifuel heater.

    I was just snooping around in TM9-4520-260-13 (offered in a link above) and found, in Fig 4-2, the "MS" part numbers for the power and thermo plugs. The thermo is MS-3108R-14S. The power plug is MS-3108R-14S-7S (note in each case, an "S" not a 5) Digikey or Mouser should have those...

    Avatar?

    I, too am struggling with the whole avatar thing. The instructions tell me that I can be no larger than 64K (62k?) and 180 X 180 pixels. I shot a pix at as high of resolution as my camera is capable. About 2700 pixels wide. Yet when I crop and reduce it it still looks like the truck is built of...

    12 volt relays

    You could use a solid state 24/12 convertor to provide the 12V, I picked one up for $15 at a ham fest. Then switch it with relays with 24V coils. You'll need 3. one each for left and right turn and one for running lights. It'd be a simple matter to make up a box that takes 24V from the running...

    Welding for dummies

    No.2Diesel: Great pix. I specially like the one with the torch in amongst all the stacked wood. Maddawg: several have suggested the JuCo classes. That's a good idea, but in the end there are only really three things that count. Prectice, practice, practice. It's really just eye/ hand...

    Thinking about adding a turbo....Is it worth it?

    Hi all: I'm currently running an M-292a2 with the N/A power plant. The box on the back weighs 8800 lbs. if it's empty (it's never empty) It's like putting a saddle on a cat. I've had it to 55 mph, but i used a calander for my accelerometer. If I remember correctly, All the Army did was slap...

    M44/45 Class 530A/B/C Fire truck

    Hi there Dave: Is that an M-292 I see in the background? are you restoring it (or have you already)? Mine is a 1967 which I discovered only after I got it home was accepted by the Army the same month of '67 as I was. I'm hoping to have my '292 running for spring 08 I think it's going to take...

    Early Deuce Artillary Piece

    I'd have to look at my records to confirm this, but as I recall, they were 105s. That's my recollection too. I was in 8" towed, and later SP's so 105's were the little guns to us. The 8" towed had a 10 man crew, and it took all of us to split the trails. My experience was all stateside with...

    Frame-up restoration... er, unibody-up restoration done.

    >Are you looking for a pristine one, or would a re-weld work? I'd like to find even a pile of tubs I could cut good corners off of. I'm a weldor, so that doesn't scare me. The prices however, do scare me. >Stories of MUTT's rolling over, going 3 miles an hour, in a curve, while driving over a...
