    M211 gets in the barn.

    I plan to use the old bed but remove part of the sides as they are beat pretty bad. I intend to build a 1000 gal fertilizer spray module. This project started as a farm tool idea and I will build a different bed configuration depending on the need at the time...........swap modules as needed...

    need positive i.d. help PLEASE!

    The serial number on the right side frame rail will have the XM or M designation to go with your four numbers. It's a 211 for sure. An X designates "experimental" and an early model. A lot of those XM models went to CD or fire service.

    NDT Replacements

    Forgive me for piggybacking on this thread .......but..........I have the same question about 9X20s. Is there a modern tire that will fit and work as well as the military 9x20s? I don't want perfection or some mud hogs just a kinda sorta "stock" replacement.

    Massachusetts Enhanced Inspection

    It is an Obama plot to confiscate all MVs ...then the guns..then he can move to Indonesia and buddy around with Osama while we all drive Chinese made motorbikes. I think I covered every conspiracy theory but I'm sure that someone will find an angle I missed.
