    Field Stoves

    Rick, It would take me more than an hour to get to where the stoves are buried in my garage and clear a path to wheel them out, and almost another hour to put everything else back in the garage. The plywood boxes are 2 x 2 x 4 feet high, made with heavy plywood, and each M59, in the box...

    Tom, Re-read my second paragraph! That's why they are not in the classifieds.

    Kitchen, field, trailer mounted, TFK250 Now gone to a new home.1/2018

    John, The TFK 250 is still being made, but in Germany, and very few are imported because they would now be sold at retail, not military surplus. The MKT Thumb Drive has the original German manuals on it (both of them) thanks to MWMULES.

    M934A1 Expansible Van - VIN location & recovery questions

    The first part of the VIN he gave you is the Army registration number. the "C534" identifies what type of vehicle it is, and the "00757" is the actual serial number. All together its only 15 characters, and since modern VIN's are 17, you could have some issues getting a title. But use the VIN...

    Field Stoves

    I have a couple of complete ones, in the wooden box. but since they weigh 275 pounds each as boxed, I'm not moving them, much less taking them to a show, even to the SC, NC or GA Rallies. 60 pounds of that weight is the un-used M-2A burner in the bottom. That IMHO is scrap at best, but it's...

    Working on the MKT

    Only place I've seen the crossover cables is in MKT's that had the MWO applied. I snagged a bunch of 4 outlet cables a couple of years ago, getting down into the short rows on them. Had to scramble to find two for the last 'order'. Two outlet cables for the oven side are also hard to find - I...

    Anyone close to Townsend GA.????? I NEED HELP!

    From the pictures, the truck was pressure washed about 5-10 minutes before the pictures were taken (wand is still in several pictures), it does not have a top on the cab - frame is there for a soft top, there are no pictures of the engine, the speedometer appears to be a replacement. The rest...

    Hospital sighting in New Orleans

    we are actually welding and bolting a two foot section of deuce frame under the back of the frame for the hitch to mount to. We think that will be enough length for the rotational torque both for pulling and stopping so that nothing bends. We will have a crossmember to help with side stresses...

    Going price on feild stoves?

    M-59 field range with all accessories is worth $400, delivered. That's with two big pots (10 and 15 gallon), the cradle and their lids, two baking sheets, the square roasting pan and lid, the knives (6) and the utensils (15+). I've gotten them for as little as $100 each from GL (2 to 4 in a lot).

    M149A2 Plumbing ??

    Look at the part numbers in the TM, carefully note the manufacturers part number and their CAGE code. Then go to a site like ALI > PartsMaster Menu and enter the part number (or NSN). It will generally give you some information as to who supplied the part - call them and ask about the part...

    EMP vs MEP003a & 2

    EMP effects are usually for longer runs of 'normal' stuff. Micro electronics (read computer chips) have much smaller wires which burn up when they get too much voltage in them. If you can see the discrete components (resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors. etc.) it will be ok if not...

    armoured visit

    Yes it is the German one, m109a3uk. A number of them were purchased both for evaluation and use, primarily in Afganistan. Evaluation TFK's were sold off here in the US. They have some real neat features, I like the pressure cookers and the waste heat water boilers!

    Finally got an MKT-75A

    Oh Boy! Another MKT Owner speaks up! Since the one out of Germany had M-2 burners in it, it's never been through the MWO upgrades. Nylon carry covers, canvas roof canopies, walls, and screens, 12 vent roof, old type large can opener, single griddle with the 2 inch flange I assume. Did it have...

    Jason, The M135/M211 came before the M35 (M44 series) trucks. I know it's confusing, but it's the govt!

    Fuel Pod on a M105a2

    The big bottom plate of the 600 gallon tank is for the hookup to the pumping unit, the small screw outlet is to drain off the water that will accumulate from condensation. You can get a brand new gasket for the manhole cover from Clay & Bailey in Kansas City, MO. > Clay and Bailey - Casting is...

    Finally got an MKT-75A

    Mark identified one part of the Aux Baking unit, the other two parts were beside the square roasting pan. The heavy sheet (steel) goes in the bottom of the oven and keeps the direct flame from creating extremely hot spots, and the very light aluminum piece on top of it goes in the top of the...

    M109A4 Sub-Zero Oil Field

    M109 windows - use some #8 screws 1.75 inches long. Drill holes from the inside on the window frame about three inches up from the bottom all the way out. Insert the #8 and out a nut/lockwasher on the inside, tighten. You may need to put several on each side, if so space them three or four...
