    M1061a1

    I picked up one with my 'loaded' 1500 Ram work truck - towed it home (15 miles maybe) at no more than 45 on a divided 4 lane, no real hills. It did not like going over 45, started to misbehave so had to slow back down. Had no real maneuvering issues, but it aggressively took up any slack in the...

    WWI tank - front page of local newspaper

    Apparently in Apr of 1919, British 'Whippet' tanks were touring upstate NY, drumming up support for Victory Liberty Loan bonds. Shame about the typo ... If anyone is interested, I can try better pics of the text.

    Cageing air brakes

    Wow - best deal $4.87 a piece, only sold in 20 pack......... $97.40. Not so bad if anyone would sell just a couple or a hand full. I think I'll just get the calipers out and run to the hardware store for some nylon blanking grommets.

    Nuclear 5 tons.

    Fascinating and factual... Any reason why this is in the Mods and Hot rodding forum? I had always assumed that in-service mods were considered as good as "factory" with regards the history of military vehicles whereas this category was for 'after release', civilian mods.... I'd even go as...

    STE/ICE Differential Switch - M916A1:- Function and testing.

    Trying to get the old 60 Series Detroit fired up... following fuel lines as I'm not getting any (looks like it's the 'diesel head '- water fuel separator diaphragm/piston pump failure) BUT, there are fuel lines going through the "STE/ICE Differential Switch". It is on the side of the frame rail...

    M870A1 Acquisition Thread

    Not Bii, but are part of the operators instructions.. "stored in the front locker" or similar words to that effect. I guess chocs are not on the A1's Bii as they have spring brakes, also why is it only the 'O' has a pry bar!

    M870A1 Acquisition Thread

    OK C-B, time to fess up/catch up/update etc. I have found an A1 (that FuzzyT decided to sell). So, have been rereading threads etc. The deck board clips - what was your source for these? and did you ever look closer at the rear outriggers for fabn details? I could work from the hole, but...

    Trailer recovered

    Can't beat a winch on the back of your tractor for trailer recovery. I made a "key hole" plate to hook a shackle and winch line to the king pin. I had to move a 40' van trailer for a neighbour - trailer was set 2' below where I could get the back of the tractor to, so the winch and some 4"x4"s...

    USAF Vehicle Markings - Overseas

    I looked into the TO 36-1-3 you posted elsewhere that included changes up to May 1993, it does mention Black lusterless National Symbol when used when marking Camouflage pattern painted vehicles 3.71 b - I'll assume that goes for sand too. I don't know if there was mix n match with a newer...
