    Over charging?

    Gee, most golf cart batteries I've seen are eight volt (four cells). Please post pictures, at least of the before - news teams will get the aftermath, and you might not have a camera.

    New guy in SC

    Lexington parade was this past Sunday, 3pm. I was there behind Legion Post #7, and in front of the DAV van. If you want into the Columbia parade, plan on being at the MVCSC meeting tonight to get specifics on where and when to meet up. Each group in the parade has an assigned location to form...

    Need dimensions for 16x16 Military tent frame

    Anf if you plan on leaving the tent up any length of time (months), it's best to support the roof part with 1 x 6's about 9 or 10 feet long between the ribs (underneath the roof part), lashed down so they don't move. Usually only takes one per section, about a third of the way up from the...

    Over charging?

    Hook up the batteries to a regular charger (one at the time) and use a digital VOM to see what is happening. If the digital shows the voltage rising too high in a battery, you have a bad cell. I've got an old battery out of my DD that I was trying to desulphate, and it would not stay on the...

    mid recovery question M105A2

    If you are going to check the bearings, make sure you have an 8 sided 3 3/8 inch socket, either locally or from '319' here on the site - see his ad in the classifieds. You can get the nuts off with a screwdriver and a small mallet, but setting the correct load when re-assembling can be problematic.

    Don't know about parking, but one member here had a large truck sent to Texas from Hawaii in a shipping container.

    USA: SS Member - TOYS-FOR-TOTS

    I did it last year in Lexington, SC and have already contacted our state coordinator (back in September) about helping out with a deuce. Last year, all they had was a van, and it was hardly visible. My M109, with the banner on the side, was a lot easier to see. And kids of all ages had their...

    M4A3 Sherman Restoration

    I read in a wargamming magazine a couple of decades ago that the Germans (and their allies/overrun countries) produced less than 10,000 tanks from 1933 to VE day. The Soviets produced over 70,000 T-34's, plus other tanks. The US produced over 44,000 Shermans, plus another 10-12,000 other...

    new step ladder mounted

    It would work fine on my M-36, since it will always have the S-280 on it and not a cargo cover. Also easier than carrying an external ladder that has to be stowed somewhere. Might be able to cure the problem with the back flap beating against it by putting some of the foam pipe insulation...

    New M923 Boarding Ladder from THOSE MILITARY GUYS

    Looks like it would fit deuces too.

    A few issues and questions

    Fuel gauges always lie, but it sounds like you may have a bad ground. Brakes could be worn out brake drums, where the brake shoes have to move a lot before making contact.

    Steve, I'll send you mine in an e-mail, since it's a little large for posting on the site.

    M816 Maximum Lifting Height?

    There was a US and a POW flag hanging off the hook of a wrecker at the GA Rally (has been for years - thanks Ron) with no problems. They were fairly standard 3 x 5 foot flags. A 15 x 25 foot flag could be a problem.

    34079 paint code?

    You tried to get HD paint at Carquest? No wonder you had problems. You might want to do a search on 'BEHR Paint' here on the site before you give up. The paint is delivered in a latex solution, but dries to an acrylic finish. And, yes, auto paints are now latex also because of California Air...

    34079 paint code?

    When you go to HD, here's the procedure. 1. Have them look a 'Competitive' paints. 2. Scroll down till they see "FSS" and select it (Federal Supply Service), two boxes will show up, the top one is for the name and the bottom is for the number, in your case '34079'. Put it in there and have...

    Where to get Military radio for a m1009?

    Six meter band is available to the amateur radio operators (50 -54 MHz). That is the only legal part of the 30-75 MHz band that these radios are capable of operating on. Search the ARRL band plan for specifics in your area.
