    Finally got an MKT-75A

    A fully equipped MKT is only three tons (LT 6000 pounds), so any axle that is much heavier duty is overkill or 'insurance' against rough handling IMHO. The axles that you linked to should provide the service you are looking for. Just remember to get truck rated tires suitable for the load...

    A2 cruising speeds

    A safe cruising speed is 50 mph or slightly less by design. Pushing the limits greatly increases the probability of failure and exponentially increases the damage done.2cents

    Ballpark price range

    You're about two years late if you are looking for M35A2's, they were all sold out of the system then. Sure, there are onsies and twoozies in scattered locations, but the main thing left in inventory is M35A3's, and there never were many of them. If you are looking for a multifuel, your best...

    Finally got an MKT-75A

    For the remaining odd puzzle piece, use an IBC and an empty generator/cargo trailer, much cheaper than an M-149 (by $1000-1500 less). Difference in the water capacity is not much (275 vs 400 gallons). The cool factor is way different, but I can live with that.

    Hydraulic vs. pto Winches

    Maybe they have learned something about the people using them. IE, the users figure there is a 50 percent under-rated factor and they have been trying 65-70,000 pound pulls which ate the winch. By rating it at 25,000, soldier A only tries to use it as a 45,000 pound winch.

    where to buy sprag

    The air shift really is a manual case. If there's no air pressure, it's not engaged, if there is air pressure, it engages. If you have an air shift transfer case and cap the air line coming out, then you will not be able to engage the front two wheels. That's all there is to it! The sprag is...

    Hello from NC

    Welcome to the site! Get ready for the GA Rally in Oct by going to the NC Rally and meeting a few folks. That way GA won't be so intimidating. And plan on making the VA Rally over Labor Day weekend.

    North Carolina MV RALLY April 6th, 7th,& 8th 2012

    Hotdogs can vary a lot, depending on they type of meat used. We have people in the local club that get sick on anything except the 'all beef' type. The cheap ones are still less than a dollar a pack, while the all beef ones are close to $4 for the same number of dogs. Dan, have you tried the...

    fuel pod, 600 gallon

    Bill, It is a cam lock, the ones we have are metal. If you look in the TM, it's #24 in figure F-1, it's called a dust cap, MS27028-11, which can be found at > Other :: Dixon MS-27028-11 MS2702811 200-DC 200DC 2" - Mara Industrial Supply: Parts Done Fast or your local petroleum supply distributor.

    2012 6th Anual Florida Steel Soldiers Rally - February 16th-19th

    Kenny, it's too far from roads, period! Even though my Corolla has made it there two years. Instead of turning in at the Seminole Glider Port, I go on up to Berry Groves Rd (28.420066, -81.831614), then take a left at Cattleman Lane(28.420927, -81.843025), then a right onto S Fork Ranch...

    fuel pod, 600 gallon

    Bill, You have the Model 1 manhole cover, that's the type I'm replacing. There is a cap for the bottom drain valve that you could just put on. BTW, look in the TM, because that drain valve assembly will not come out until you disconnect it from the connector rod in the tank, and it's...

    fuel pod, 600 gallon

    Dell, One of the local club members made my gasket, but the part number is in the TM. Just be aware the OEM gasket is cork, and mine is made of Viton rubber. That's why I gave the size so others would know how much to purchase. It's 13217E7084, by cage code 97403, and looking at the ALI...

    fuel pod, 600 gallon

    Just ordered a replacement manhole cover lid for my Highlands model TRL2000 600 gallon fuel pod. I have a type 1 manhole cover on it now, but the lock casting is broken and it can't be locked. The type 2 cover has the lock through two stainless steel plates instead of the aluminum casting...

    A SS Member got a M-37 today!!!

    flygirl, you need to reserve Labor Day weekend for the VA Rally, held about 100 miles west of Alexandria in Syria, VA, at the Graves Mountain Lodge. Ferro and Angie should be there with Tinkerbelle. You'll get to drive your new toy on mountain tops!

    Old Family Military Radio Hams in Puget Sound Area

    Have you looked in the boatanchor archives, or the Yahoo and delphi forums for the army radio groups? This site is more focused on the vehicles, the other sites are more focused on the radios. You might get a better match (answer) on them. There are those of us who are on all of the forums...

    Ft Jackson Pickup

    If ferro was not up past his eyeballs with work and other projects, he could probably tow it off Ft. Jackson for you. I know one member used Campbells Wrecker (803-771-0206) to get his deuce off the DRMO lot at Ft. Jackson - no idea what it costs, but they have BIG wreckers.

    M939 P2P Program On SS

    I know how you feel. I downloaded the interactive TM for the FSC-2 (Field Sanitation Center, revised), about 500 MB and cannot find where I got it from to point it to others, so if they want it, it has to go on an USB drive through the mail. We'll work through it!
