I’d like to introduce the War Wagon. A 1970 M35A2 with winch built as a tribute/replica of a Vietnam War gun truck. Her armaments include: 3 replica .50 M2 machine guns, one replica M-60 machine gun, one replica M16A1 rifle, several dummy “lemon” grenades and some inert smoke grenades. One of...

. My 1972 M35A2’s have the twist type e-brake handle. My 1970 M35A2 has the whale tale. Not sure what the 211’s have. IIRC, the 1953 M59 has a whale tale as does the 1973 M52A2.

. That thing is freaking awesome!!! :drool::drool:

I’ve got some oddball parts that I’m trying to identify. I’m really not sure what type vehicle they belong too. No part numbers have been found on these thing-a-mah-jigs. One is a drive shaft off something and the little doohickeys look like they help attach a dip stick in place. Perhaps you May...

Been busy doing a long list of honey do’s. Not getting done what I want to accomplish but stuff’s getting done. I finally caved in and used some paint stripper. It would have taken an entire bag of sand blast media to clean just one fender. It’s not as bad as I feared as far as smell and...

. ROFLMAO!! (Smililies ain’t working for some reason)

I found one stash (7 each) of the A1 lug bolts. I know I have more. Just have to find them again... here’s what I’ve got so far, assuming that these are the A1 lug nuts.

I’ll dig around and see what I can find.

Yes, they are. I believe you are correct. I also have a number of the A1 type. Thanks!

I have a bag of “M151A2” lug nuts or that’s what the bag says. Can anyone verify that? Pics below:

I was inspecting the wiper motors and there’s was what appeared to be some kind of insulation surrounding the driver side motor. I pulled on a piece and a bit of animal fur was attached. So, off with the entire panel. There was a nest, not sure what type of critter made it. Included in the nest...

Videos like that make me miss the good old days. I worked on UH-1N’s primarily but have some time working on the H model and F model. I also worked on H-3’s, H-53’s and H-60’s. Then Hiller’s were good birds. They were primarily an Army aircraft. I served in the Marine Corps and Air Force. If I...

ABDR is Aircraft Battle Damage Repair. It’s a formal school they send aviation mechanics to in order to train them in fixing battle damaged stuff with bailing wire and tin cans and with whatever materials are available. They fix flight control tubes with tin cans, as well as holes in the...

. Sabotage is possible. Another possibility is the cylinder had to be isolated due to something or another. Best way to isolate is using the tapered river of the correct size. I’ve never seen it used on trucks but it’s an ABDR fix for hydraulic systems when isolating non flight essential...

. The shelter was part of the Pershing 1a missile system. None of the wiring remains however, all the canon plug connectors are still there. There was some type of air conditioning inside but it’s long gone. I’m using it for project storage. My favorite part is the launcher. Here some pics:

I have a missile support shelter. I’m going to have to dig out the info on it again. It’s still about 50% outfitted as it was originally, minus all the black boxes but one.

Got some catching up to do. Been sand blasting many parts. Also got the driver side door hinges out. With the rust on the pillars, I want to disassemble as much as possible to look for any other damage. The lower hinge was a bear. I broke an easy out and had to use a Dremel tool to dig it out...

I have a M1009 in Laramie County. What can I help you with?

More parts cleaning. Sand blaster cabinet is getting a good workout. The portable sand blaster I bought from Sears about 25-30 years ago is finally proving its value as well. The sand blast media I got from Menard’s is good stuff (thanks Jim!). No pictures tonight. Hopefully I’ll have some next...
