    S-250 Shelter AC Mount

    My S-250 has an A/C in the front - a 9000 BTU unit. No freon left in it per CFR 47.

    Official 2012 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    Kenny, I think we'll do presliced, mainly because we are limited on what electrified appliances can run and slicing all the meat by hand would be slow going (I do have two hand powered slicing machines). Cost increase is not that much, and it will help to get us out of the food prep and serve...

    Official 2012 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    Anyone that wants to help feed the crowd is welcome to use the MKT to help us prepare. If I can get motivated in this heat, there will be three M-59 ranges available for cooking. Third range is primarily for boiling the water for tea and coffee, but when not in use for it's main purpose, can...

    Lloyd, any morning you want to cook grits, just step right up! Richard, I have five #10 cans of Chef-mate Country Sausage Gravy, which just takes some heating up. If you want to make some from scratch, I can get you an alarm set for 4am - you'll have to provide the rest of the ingredients. A...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    (With some help) I got the S-280 to it's semi permanent (as long as I own it) place atop the M-36 and got a wheel seal redone.

    LD 465 question

    Turbos were added to NA (Naturally Aspirated) engines to reduce visible smoke. If you get the turbo parts added to a standard LD-465, you now have an LDT-465 engine. Period. if you take the turbo off an LDT engine, you are left with an LD-465. The "T" was simply the way the Army could tell...

    help me design a radio shelter

    Most HAM's I know switched to using a PC for CW about 20 years ago. They had DOS programs that would translate their typing into code on the outgoing side, and reverse the process for received signals. That's one of the main reasons that code was dropped from the General and Tech licenses...

    LDT 465 or LDS 465?

    LDS is not "as manufactured" in a deuce, but often they were 'on hand' when something went wrong in the engine of a deuce, so it went in as a replacement. LDS was normally put in the 5-ton series, and many motor pools that maintained both would only order the LDS engines as spares because they...

    LD 465 question

    TD is part of the casting, it stands for "Thick Deck". That means they made part of the block a little bigger. Look on the right side of the attached pic.

    Canvas Cab Cover Preservation

    Put a UV resistant tarp over it while it's not moving. Exposure to the elements is the killer.

    M35A2 tranmission rebulds?

    MDG, Fleetpride may have some of the parts you need. I know my local one has the gasket for the inspection plate (in different thicknesses for the PTO) - costs a whopping 47 cents each.:-D

    help me design a radio shelter

    Mike, I think you will get better responses from the Yahoo Groups - armyradios, milpack, prc77radio, and similar focused groups. There is a LOT more radio experience there than here. Boatanchors migrated to the Yahoo Groups platform. Those folks own vehicles as accessories to their radios...

    What ever floats your Goat...

    From the windshield back on both the driver's and the passenger's side, attach a 2 X 8 going back almost halfway along the engine hood. It can slope down once past the firewall. Bolt and silicone seal it in place. That will give you a little more freeboard in the front part. Make sure the...

    Fine thread bolts vs coarse

    Fine threads are used because the root diameter (the part without threads inside where it is threaded) is larger on bolts of the same outer diameter, while the bearing surface (the part where the threads touch) remains the same as coarse threads. For the same metal characteristics, that results...

    M109A3 RV Conversion

    To make a Faraday Cage, you must be able to separate with insulators the inner wall from the outer wall, or build another wall on all six sides inside your inner wall (and not have anything including wires and pipes penetrating from outside). Electrically conductive anything defeats the concept...

    Grandpa's M37

    If there's any more gunk in the fuel tank, you can replace it with one for an S-10. You'll need to make longer holding straps, and lose a few gallons of capacity, but it works.

    New guy from NC.

    Malum, Since the next NC Rally is in the spring, plan on coming to the VA Rally over Labor Day weekend and the GA Rally Oct 10-14. Even in a civvy vehicle, they will both be a lot of fun! See the Rally forum for details on both.

    Official 2012 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    Richard, There's plenty of room around where the MKT will be setup, both your entire motor pool and mine will fit without crowding (mine is five trucks and trailers, but I was not planning on bringing everything). To get an idea of relative sizes and distances I looked at the site on Google...
