The older style gasoline burners (M-2) are prime candidates for conversion to propane, the MBU's not so much, but the older MBU's (V-100) can be upgraded to the new type (V-103 with wider heat range, runs better in high ambient temps) . Old MBU's have a black oval on the control panel, new or...

Since the military does not use those frequencies, you will have some trouble finding a single military antenna that will be suitable, and probably none out-of-the-box. Modifying military antennas to cover specific bands has been done But you will need matching circuits to keep the SWR at a...

Shipping one radio is really expensive - they are not called 'boatanchors' for nothing - but shipping a 20 foot CONEX full brings the cost per piece way down. Just something to keep in mind.

Used to be that 'pvt jarhead' in Reno had completely refurbished ones for $400, but he went 'out of business' a couple of years ago. Fully equipped PRC-77's are approaching $400 (w/antennas, handsets, etc.). Mosr of the old stuff is now in private hands and does not get sold very often. And...

Parallel is correct!

The thing to remember about AGM batteries is that they cannot stand sustained high voltages! Most chargers allow the voltage to increase as the battery gets close to full charge (think over 15 V). AGM's are very sensitive to that - anything close to steady over 14.5 volts will kill them...

Kaiser Jeep ended on or before 1970, then it was "General Products Division of " and later became "AMG" about 1971. I know because I have deuces with all three different 'manufacturer' markings.

Here's a picture I took of Neil going through the river near Graves Mountain. It appeared in a 2011 issue of "Army Times".

I have it on my calendar as well. Maybe I'll have my mini MKT ready by then and I can bring a reduced version of the wash-up trailer and help Micro with the cleanup.

Post pictures. They 'might' be for the 105 trailer, but that is just a guess.

Got home about 1515, trailer parked in back of house, shop van refrigerators plugged into shore power. John Peck's trailer (with the two civvy jeeps on it blew a tire three miles from the club compound, so he left for there to get it changed out and on to the MVCSC compound. Further updates...

It was going to Jon's father-in-law, who lives just the other side of I-20.

Delay leaving this morning. We were hooking up the shop van/pantry to the first trailer when we had a sudden brake failure. Hole in the long line between the hydrovac and the middle axle. John and Marty have gone to the club compound to rob one off of one of the deuce frames I own. We first...

Rain is coming through tonight and in the morning.

Norm, I don't have a scribd account and I'm not going to sign up for one. Post it here as a PDF if you want people to read it. Mike

Actually named for the Rev. War Battle of Cowpens.

I think Ferro still has the record for the most pulled via a deuce pintle when he used Bella to pull eight loaded 100 ton ballast cars and a locomotive off a barge at the Norfolk railhead.

Gasoline Pony Motor for 28 V, possibly out of an early M-88, manual start. $500 OBO, will only bring if there is a buyer.

Best way of curing you of these posts is to put you in charge of the MKT operation next year. Then it will be "Oh NO! It's two months out and I've got so much to get ready, I'll never finish on TIME!!!!"
