    What have you done to your MKT this week???

    The chains for the middle rack hook into the four tabs in the top (2 on each side). The heavy solid sheet is to even out the heat in the bottom of the oven, and there is a right way to put it in (front and rear tabs should be the same as the middle rack). The top rack is really designed to be...

    Two tone (tan / black)

    They usually are the first time, but then they will tell some of their redneck buddies, then stand back as the paint flies off the shelf!

    1941 dukw

    Definitely a later DUKW, because it has the sloped front windshield, which did not start till after the first several thousand were produced. It's covered in David Doyle's comprehensive book on them.

    What have you done to your MKT this week???

    I have a GI one there, but use it as a lid/general work surface. We use the full color set (white-bread; red-raw meat;brown-cooked meat;blue-seafood;yellow-poultry;green-veggies) for actually cutting stuff up.

    Rod bearings and oil squirters, oil pump gasket

    Oil squirter pictured looks like the ones that came in my LDS-1A piston assemblies. Exactly what do the rings of the pistons look like? There are at least three types and which type is shown in the number of rings they have. The latest ones for the LDS have five rings. There are several...

    What have you done to your MKT this week???

    Khloe is really growing up! And, yes, the pop rivets will fix the hinge problem. Get the ones that are LONG, as there is some fairly thick metal to set them through (ones that can 'grip' on 3/8" thickness or more).

    Graves Mountain MV Trailrides and Rally, September 1-5, 2016

    I'm packing my ear muffs, extra ear plugs, and chamber flags. Might have to bring along my Armorers Tool Kit this year, as we could have used it last year more than once.

    flywheel housing studs

    Flywheel housings for Marine Corps trucks did not have the storage hole because the plug was left in place all the time in operation as part of the deep water fording kit. Truck was ready to 'go swimming' all the time. Plug only removed for inspection when at the motor pool.

    Tire?

    Just don't get it on the tread. NDCC/NDT's are helpless in the rain, with 303 on them they are helpless on dry pavement till the 303 wears off.

    FMTV with Shelter, which model?

    The S-280 is not as wide or as tall inside, as the inside of the box on the M1079, which is probably why the CG is lower. Most of it's weight is in the bottom as that is where the rails are. Inside there is only about 6'4" in height, even though it's 8 foot from the bed of my M-36 to the top...

    Someone hit my truck!!

    I know someone who has a deuce rear axle in Columbia, SC. If you beat Clinto to the compound, you'll have first pick! (John has two).

    1971 Kaiser M35A2 temp. problem

    Most of it here in the USA is in the powder form. YMMV. In what format? Liquid/gel or pellet/powder? Aussie.

    why late model MEPs being surplused?

    Considering that a gallon of fuel for a generator delivered to a remote outpost in Afghanistan wound up costing over $450 a gallon delivered (it had to be flown into Bagram, then delivered to the base by helicopter, as that was the only reliable way of transport), fuel economy in remote areas of...

    1971 Kaiser M35A2 temp. problem

    Yes, in the sticky at the top of the deuce section, and in the TM section a,d also available from John Tennis, Igor Chudov, and radionerds, all for free. Printed copies can be found on e-bay, but are expensive if you get the full set.

    Supplies for a Long Trip

    Easiest 'air conditioning' is to roll the windows up (and close the back window), then open the front windshields about four to six inches and lock them in place (or use blocks to prop them). Wear goggles because you will be getting all the bugs and road debris entering the cab, but the air...

    Anyone able to pick up and ship from Ft. Jackson SC?

    What is it. With the paperwork, I could get it, and I know several others that can also get on base and to DRMO.

    DUKW video

    It's NINE seconds, not nine hundreths of a second, but it all Peck sent me (21 megabytes). True, the full video should be almost two minutes, but then it would take me five hours and 47 minutes to upload it to You-Tube, based on how long it took to get that clip up.

    What have you done to your MKT this week???

    As long as they fit in the M-59 pot cradles, you are golden! I'm usually cooking for a crowd, so the larger pots get a workout.
