Robo McDuff and mcmullag, please see response above, by USAFSS-ColdWarrier. (Couldn't have worded a better response.) The aircraft has small skin plates at specfic points under the wings, outboard of the engines. Once removed, you gain access to the jacking point plate. This plate is attached...

What do you do when you need to jack up a seaplane? Can’t do it on the water. Jack keeps sinking, and mechanic can’t hold his breath long enough to operate the jack properly! Bring it ashore……then discover the jack is too short and can’t reach the underside of the wing. Answer….use a jack...

I have an M871A1 trailer made by Shoals. It is missing some parts on the front nose box that are part of the galdhand to air line connections. I have located most of the parts from local semi-trailer parts stores, but none of them are able to help me with the elbow pieces that connect to...

Don't have a low-boy yet, or an M920 or M916............... but do have an M915A1 due to a very good "would be stupid to refuse it" deal. Actually, the very low price, (less than the cost of 4 new 6TMF batteries and a tank of diesel) was for 2 "operational" M915A1's and two M871A2 trailers...

The 30A has a Continental TMD-27 4 cyl diesel with 3 speed auto trans. (Ironically, I have just picked up one today.) Dug, is the pub 19.40-320? I will probably need to get hold of a copy. Do you know if it contains any part numbers I can cross match? All I appear to be missing (other than...

Jim, At the moment the tank is limited to local engine running, until I permanently fix the internal radio system (don’t like driving without extra sets of eyes communicating what’s happening around me), re-tension the tracks, and look at a leaking shock absorber. Finding the time to do the...

Thank you. M4A4 built by Chrysler at Detroit Tank Arsenal (1942/43 ), then later converted to Easy 8. Combat veteran : Europe (UK/France/??) 44/45, then Israel from mid/late 50's. Shows some minor battle damage. Re-gunned with French CN-75 70 and re-engined from Chrysler A57 gas to Cummins...

From my perspective (been there, done that:grin:), I would say that the price is about right as a guide for an opening bid. As with most "large" items of military equipment, it is a fairly select market, and the piece of equipment is worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. In an...

If it wasn't already being displayed at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum "Warbirds over Addison" event this weekend, I could have brought the Sherman (Built by Chrysler at the Detroit Tank Arsenal!) :D

Hi guys....relative newbie to SS here. I am currently researching the possible "acquisition" of a tractor/trailer combo for hauling a Sherman tank. I can drive the Sherman on the highway (it is registered in Texas), but at less than 1 mile to the gallon diesel, it gets real expensive, real...

www.levineautoparts.com lists Military LED Trucklite. Same sort of $$ as already quoted above. Julian

I am yet another newbie from Texas. Just wondering are there any SS members who have had M818 radiator issues. I am looking for guidance on replacement, overhaul or rebuild, and my brazing skills are zero! :???: Thanks,
