    What is the weirdest thing u saw on GL?

    FYI. The USMC ones and all the others are all made by Cap Plugs Caplugs - Home - Caplugs. They ARE the same as the ones that they use on hydraulic fittings, electrical plugs, etc.

    Actia 24 to 12volt switching converter???

    Hello, Has anybody used one of these or know anything about them. They're designed for MVs (among other things). The ones I have were taken off of crash trucks at Dover AFB (I think). They're made in France and take 19 to 32 VDC input and have two independent 14 VDC outputs and draw...

    What is this cable for?

    Cool! Now if I just had a truck with a NATO plug I might find a use for it! Thanks for the fast reply!

    What is this cable for?

    Does anyone know what this cable is for? The insert in the Cannon connector is a 22-2 and the plug is about 1 3/32" in diameter. With the key at the top, the top contact is + and the lower left contact is the -. The label next to the Cannon plug is marked W16 P2 (A15J1) . The other label is...

    2011 Florida Richloam Rally Multimedia Thread

    Can you plug an external monitor into it? You can on most of the ones built in the last ten years (except some of the Apples!) The little 2.5" Notebook drive to standard 3.5" IDE drive controller adapters also work well. I've rescued data from several notebook computers using them...

    CTIS Theory questions.

    You guys are assuming that the design is proprietary. It may not be. The drawings and technical information might not be in the TMs simply because the Logistics Analyst thought* the system was too reliable to justify writing the maintenance procedures OR that it wasn't justified to include in...

    Identify this old crane?

    I think you should get it and yank the crane and replace it with a huge, cable supported, fake cannon! Even if you couldn't raise the barrel it would still be impressive!

    M101s A1,2,3

    The A1 uses M-37 wheels and hubs and brake parts. The A2 uses CUCV wheels. The A3 uses Hummer wheels. (I'm not sure if the hubs on the last two are exactly the same as CUCV and Hummer or not.) Some difference in the location of the parking brake handles but I'm not sure of the details. Also I...

    M35A3 Title Problems in Georgia

    Who (position and department) finally gave in and admitted that you didn't have to supply that stuff? Maybe the next time the MV owner can start there instead of having to battle his way up the chain of incompetence, er ah, I mean "command".

    Sales tax and SF-97/Title charges?

    How does that work??? Doesn't MD require you to register it in their state?

    Nuts and Bolts

    Better yet go to a surplus store and get real mil-spec hardware! Yesterday I made my second run to SkyCraft in Orlando and I loaded up on stainless steel and cadmium dichromate plated nuts, bolts and washers for my M-37. Average price is $.20 to $.30 each for SS and $.10 to $.15 for plated nuts...

    i wanna winch

    7/16" cable is far too light for a 17,500 lb winch and too light for a M1009!!! My M-37's winch is rated at 7,5000 lb Working Load and uses 7/16" cable. The manual says that the 7,500 lb WL rating is with a 4 to 1 safety rating so that means that you would be operating at less than a 2 to 1...

    getting a title but my nuame is not on the SF97

    Ditto! I've had too many hassles with open titles. From now on I only take a title in the actual seller's name AND a bill of sale! Anything less is scrap in my opinion and I would only pay a scrap price for it! It took me months to get my M-37 registered. Florida DMV refused to accept it...

    Unidentified carcass

    If that's an 816 then that's a 45,000 lb Winch and it's also a capstan! And it's also chain driven so it would be easy to hook up. I'd love to have something like that but it's a little too large for my M37. Somebody should grab that and put it on their Deuce or 5-ton!

    M37 seat alternative choices?

    Have you just gone to a junkyard and looked around at seats? I used to have a set of seats out of a Fiat that set very low and were very comfortable. Look for some out of one of the low slung sports cars. You're probably going to need to look at some old seats that don't have integral headrests...

    M37 barn find

    I'll have to go find some first. Most of them I sold ages ago and only have REAL photos of them so I'll have to go find them and scan them. I've been needing to scan my old photos anyway.

    Idea for a winch mod

    You are correct except that the design engineers don't (or shouldn't!) assume anything. I was an engineer on a number of military contracts and basic conditions including the number of personnel, their MOSs (and additional specialty training) and level of experience are always specified in the...
