    European auctions

    Happened again, for one moment, I thought I should jump in and take this thing with me to the USA next year to make somebody happy: an overhauled Allison transmission for OSHKOSH, SNS 2520-01-587-4634, part number E019041 for 340 €. Then the bidding almost closed and people started to...

    European auctions

    There are a few auction websites in Europe that occasionally have interesting MV stuff, including ongoing now an auction called SURPLUS Veiling (auction) ex US Army 3977 . For smaller things, this might even be interesting for people in the USA. To give an example, I have seen 5-ton...

    11.0x20 modern replacement

    Tried searching, but too many not relevant hits. The stock army tires on my M51A2 are worn and old. I am looking for a cheap replacement for 8 tires. Getting fitting rims here for other sizes is close to impossible (read: too bl**dy expensive if available), so I need a modern tire size that...

    Dual Circuit Brake Engineering Thread

    So fuses exist for pick-up trucks (to give them their real name), for forklifts and knuckle cranes, and for airplanes. Ferro, do trains use hydraulic velocity fuses? Somehow it should be possible to use those existing fuses and fabricate them into something that is strong enough for a 5-ton...

    Dual Circuit Brake Engineering Thread

    OK, I'm awake now (remember, I am across the pond from you people). It actually was my own thread on how to split a brake circuit on a 5-ton. Ron (73M819) actually came up with the hydraulic fuse idea (post 15). Such fuses are standard issue for all types of aircraft: Hydraulic fuse or...

    Dual Circuit Brake Engineering Thread

    I think we discussed something similar with Ron (73M819) 5 or more years ago; airplanes use valves for explosive pressure loss. No time to find the post now, there was a reason it would not work on a 5-ton, not sure what it was. If I understand correctly, what you are suggesting is a bit...

    MV of the Month December 2021

    I was going to suggest migginsbros put up their Harley again, so we can get a nice Harley in the calendar. However, with Microjeeps MV in the mix, I would have to vote for that one.

    1944 Federal 606 C2 Wrecker

    Is Jaap a Dutch guy? The name certainly indicates so. Can you provide a link to that truck. I actually was lucky getting my M51A2, as close as a barn find you can imagine in the Netherlands. I know there are several Ward la France wreckers for sale in Austria and the Netherlands, but if a...
