If you regularly drive a manual transmission vehicle, you should not have any problems driving a deuce. Two things to remember, when maneuvering in first or reverse, use low range, and all steering is "ARMSTRONG", but much easier when actually rolling. And, of course, you will learn to love...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?163389-Graves-Mountain-Rally-Syria-VA-August-31-September-4-2017 That's the thread, now just follow directions and get signed up. Note that camping in the field is 'free' to those attending the rally. I can bring a tent, air mattresses, sleeping...

End of August is just in time for the VA Rally. If the Boss isn't at his new home by then, fly into Dulles Airport (Washington, DC) rent a car and come to the VA Rally in Syria, VA for the weekend. Last year one of the attendees ran his expando van in the truck races - with the sides left...

This thread is supposed to be closed. Please post in the 2017 thread if you are serious about selling anything.

Balke gave me the name of a wrecker service that goes on the base kinda regular. It's in a several years old PM and may take a while to find.

The data is now up to a little over 3.7 GB in electronic form (with some duplication). And includes the German Karcher TF-250 manuals (in German), the cook STP's and the full MBU manual. There is now a section on military radios (US and British) and a lot of other stuff since this first post...

If we get the help we need, the MKT is generally ready to roll around noon. The latest I've left there was 1:30 (1330).

And if you don't have all the screens, drive up from Pawleys Island. I can probably rustle up some but will need help digging them out. I will not do it by myself, there is simply too much stored in that trailer right now.

Also make sure the starting relay is completely plugged in. We had a problem with Dave's HMMWV at the Gilbert parade with the same symptoms, turned out the connector was pulled out a little more than 1/8 inch from the relay. Once it was pushed back in, started up with no problems.

The pot/pan is not completely square, the inside corners are rounded, see this link for what we are talking about > https://www.webstaurantstore.com/vollrath-68391-wear-ever-42-qt-heavy-duty-aluminum-roast-pan-with-handles-20-7-8-x-17-3-8-x-7/92268391.html exact same ones were used in WWII, as I...

If that does not work, convert them into a CSV file (Comma Separated Values), and if they have commas within the text, the test can be put between single quote marks. IE 'xxx','xxx', etc. Those can be loaded back into Excel or most any other spreadsheet program written in the past 30 years. I...

On the hard top, see if you can get the back window open while laying on the top of the cab. Then use one of those 'can, top shelf reachers' to hook over the door handle (with Soldier B giving directions while looking in from the other side) and pull on it.

Only bad thing about a shop van is they are a brick when it comes to air flow around the vehicle going down the road. That flat front wall acts like a reverse sail, or at least it does on both of my shop vans.

Fill the brake MC, then bleed the air pack, refill, then bleed the wheels one at the time, refilling the MC after each. If you had plenty of time, you could just fill the MC each day for a couple of weeks and the air would v-e-r-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y come back up through the system. It could take...

Biobore-JF will get rid of algae. In normal use a pint will treat 1200 gallons. Then add the lubricity agent of your choice.

Talk to member 'swiss', I think he had some at the GA rally last year.

Group 31 batteries. Around here blems in that size cost less than $60 each and they fit in the battery tray of most full sized pickup trucks, so they could have a use after you try to start a deuce.

Opti-lube cams in second best to veggie oil in a comparison that you can find in the 'alternative fuels' forum on this site.

Sorry, the anti-seize is your problem! The actual torque at the threads is 15-50 percent higher than a dry reading. Pick up a copy of the Pocket Ref - ISBN 978-1-885071-62-0, go to the Fasteners section (about page 213), and check out the section 5 - Effect of Anti-Sieze Compounds, Lubricants...

Three crowns is most likely Sweden (two above, one below), so look at their stuff in Jane's to see what you can find. Sometimes it helps to be a stamp collector.
