    Slave cable powered tools?

    I've got a 1/2 inch Robotool, and it came in handy when we needed to change a tire on a trailer. We did have to bust the nuts loose with a cheater bar, but the spin off and snug up went a lot faster, and that counts when you are sitting on the side of the road. I'm keeping mine!

    1-pin vs. 2-pin slave ports

    If we can get a few made up, I could swap you one off my shop van for a made up one. I know it's GI, or at least as GI as it can get because it came that way from GL.

    1-pin vs. 2-pin slave ports

    That's good, cause I'd need 10.

    How do you preserve your M101/103/105 covers?

    Only way to save them is to keep them out of the sun. That either means a cheap tarp replaced annually, or a covered building to store them in. Anything else is just whistling in the dark.

    Who's going to the Fla Southern Outpost Rally?

    could be a couple of us from South Carolina there just to look. No MV's, no trade booths, just coming to browse and buy.

    Building a Tank??

    Get a deuce, mount the motor in the back, shorten the frame a couple of feet and build a 'modern' M-8 or M-20 scout car.

    S.S. window decals?

    Kenny's decal is more of an 'inside thing'. If you see one on a vehicle, you know they are on SteelSoldiers. We really don't need advertising, it just attracts too many zombie phreaks and other assorted 'individuals' that the hobby could do without. Check some of the statistics on the members...

    Lightning Cato is in Arizona attending school to learn how to take care of the OT-90 last I heard.

    TRI AN/PRC-152 UHF VHF Radio , knock off of Harris Felcon III

    Looks to be a knock-off, and with the poor spelling and grammar in the ad, I'll let someone else be the sacrificial sheeple with their money.

    m49a2c wo/w that we are looking at buying

    Once you have it in hand, let Boyce know what you have - they might do an even swap for a regular cargo truck they have.

    New here...already in deep

    It's fine the way it is, the only serial number that counts is the one on the frame. Officially, it's an M103 trailer frame, but they put all sorts of different beds on it to make it into a whole slew of different trailers. M-105 was the main cargo version, that's all.

    Dip stick numbers

    You got me curious, so I looked at mine. It appears to be quarts, since the marks are showing 'full', down '2' and down '4'. After sitting for a while the oil level should be the equivalent of 3 or four 'high' from the full mark, since the GI filters drain. HTH.

    The good and the bad of owning something tracked and/or armored?

    More moving parts = more points of failure. Each track is composed of how many parts? Plus all of the above suggestions.

    deuce wheel cylinder rebuild.. i thought

    OPCOM has a detailed writeup on working on the deuce axels - While it's on here somewhere, it may be easier to find on his 'www.bunkerofdoom.com' site. The usual cause of oil getting into the hubs is not inserting the cork in the cutout. Easiest tool to seat the inner seal is a four inch...

    Miles per year on your deuce :)

    I've probably got 500 on the shop van/pantry truck and about 300 on the M-36. The other four probably don't have 25 miles between them. All on over-the-road diesel.

    Brake fluid capacity??

    Check the MWO for changing from DOT 3 to DOT 5, since all the '3' has to be replaced. Pretty sure it will be a quart or more.

    Lubricity Additive Study Results

    We've been using OptiLube XPD for over a year now (since the first posting of this info). This study was originally in a PDF link here on the site, this post #1 simply puts it here so those challenged by external links and .PDF files are saved the pain of dealing with them.

    USA: SS Member - TOYS-FOR-TOTS

    I contacted SSG Flood in September and got a reply from him, then went to the WETS myself to see him. They are really busy as this is an 'additional duty' assignment for the full time Marines at the Reserve Centers. After the first of November those guys are all putting in 16-18 hours a day...

    USA: SS Member - TOYS-FOR-TOTS

    Last day of the Lexington, SC campaign. Nothing says Toys-for-Tots better than a bike beside the box.
