    Successfull 115 mile M105A2 recovery from Calhoun GA

    Hi, I would normally have a 5hp service compressor with me, the bed full of firewood didn't make it possible this time. I have considered making a hose so I could use one of the mig welder tanks to fill tires & run air tools while out and about. I had fix a flat, I only use that as a last resort...

    Successfull 115 mile M105A2 recovery from Calhoun GA

    Recovered two M105's with one deuce

    Hi, The M105A2 I recovered monday from Calhoun GA has 11.00 R20 MICHELIN XL tires on it. We were in a hurry, but it looked like a couple of the GA National Guard deuces there had 11.00 R20 XL super singles on them. The M105A2 next to mine had 11.00 R20's on it also. That's a very nice loading...

    That might just be the way it is, I've seen engines that sort of fire up a few cyl at a time. I grew up on a farm, at least ya don't have to belt it to something else to spin it fast enough to start. LOL James

    MEP-003A up and running!

    Hi Carl, Good to hear the MEP003A is running. I was running my MEP002A off a Jerry can adapter because the fuel tank had some real nasty stuff in it. I looked in, took a sniff & told my son to remove the tank and set it outside. My gauge would have been stuck on "E" I just had to clean the...
