I'm not so sure about folks what have to be forced to eat grits!!! 'Specially PopPop's stone ground grits!!!

Grasshopper, Time for a short history lesson. Way back when, before WWII, the military (and later the entire federal government) was busy making mechanical drawings of the parts they wanted built. depending on what size the finished drawing was they could range from size "A" all the way up to...

Randy, Post #5 of this thread has the entry form and all the info you should need.

How is it different by putting the kitchen in a deuce. US Army did that during WWII, as pictures have shown Canada did it too. They both found it not as practical as they wanted it to be, because the food had to be lifted up four feet to be cooked, then lifted back down four feet (or have a...

Hopefully he'll be able to send some stuff down via DH, since he picked up a couple of things for me and DH recently and I'm sure Eric wants to see his new toy as much as I want to see mine. A laptop should be nothing as long as it's on top, not under or between our treasures.

Uncle Sam has the original 'patent', which means it's free to his bosses (us).

If anyone asks (esp on the phone) you are having terrible headaches, your back and neck are sore and stiff, and you have occasional shooting pains in your extremities. Ask the doctor for both a neck brace and a back brace and wear them, all the time! You have received some serious injuries...

I'll try to convoy with John and Adam, if my old rice burner can keep up towing the trailer with maddawg's cabinets on it!

Get the HMMWV -24P TM and find the part number, then do a Google search on the NSN. It is a footman loop to hold the strap on the soft top back curtain.

The good part is that most of the 'display only' tanks are stored in Anniston, AL, so the shipping will only be an arm and a leg, with a mortgage on your first-born.

And those battery testers are available used in the $25-$40 range - search for a "7181 Duo-Check", even the instruction booklet is found if you can search.

Hose will have to be replaced. Closest might be Memphis Equipment as they are not something NAPA, etc. normally carry. And since you have a single circuit brake system, you got no brakes whatsoever.

Usually the tool box is bolted on, as is the generator. Having said that, the only ones you will now be able to find will all be welded.

Re-read Steve's second Q and A (hint, the answer is no - when you are out-of-state you can legally only purchase from a licensed dealer, on their premise).

I've never seen surplus corner posts. Only ones that get out are the ones on MKT's at DRMO/GL. A couple of years ago there were over 100 MKT's that were sold in Maine, most of them were stripped out - some did not even have the corner posts or roofs, a few did not even have the outside...

David Doyle, who is on the site when he's not eyebrow deep in editing and writing, would know exactly how many were built - it's probably in one of his books.

A little etching zinc primer (wally world auto dept) will cover up/paint over the rivets so the un-initiated can get ripped if they try climbing on the roof. On the deuce, you're supposed to check the oil level a minute or so AFTER shutdown, not while it's running - maybe the 900 series is the...

Gee, I guess my Corolla is really good with the Wally World stuff - I just put the fourth battery in it two months ago. Bought that car new in Apr 1993, it had just over 350,000 miles on it as of this morning. The 78 SR5 truck beat that though, over 9 years on a Diehard - three batteries the...

Hey, you stole that idea from me! But, it's all right, I stole it from someone else. Did mine three years ago, holding up just fine.

Another way of quickly checking your anti-freeze is to use a Reichert 7181 Duo-Check (coolant and battery tester), which is based on refractance not specific gravity. Manuals, available on the web, explain it a lot better than I can, and they can be found on that big auction site for about 20...
