This is not about dipping but about weight and it is loosely based on Johnny Cash's song All I do is drive, I wrote it as a lieutenant running convoys through CONUS and certain states where tough on our loads.
Seems like everytime I roll into this communist state
I've got some blue light...
That's the killer seat that the Army wanted better anti ejection properties for. We lost quite a few gunners being ejected when a HMMWV tipped over. The fire extinguisher mounts are nice. Welcome to the forum and you may be directed to put these in the classified section.
They have a standard commercial king pin and any tractor with a standard fifth wheel will hook up fine. It is a very heavy trailer and the M818 will be pulling hard to move it empty. Looks like you got all the sideboards and the tarp bows too what a great deal. I was going to make a set of...
Mark is right 34 ton capacity M872 we hauled these for millions of miles with our M915 tractors.
22 tires on the highway sing makes the 64 Charlie the driving king
If you have all the side boards and metal tarp loops and a tarp you have a great although heavy trailer.
Is it possible kids where playing in it and dry shifting it to play big truck driver? That could easily have bent the forks and cause a two gear contact. I just do not see it happening from sitting.
Very Nice install and you can also remote an LCD screen to the dash chemical mount plate. What size screen is it and does it fold out to load a DVD or is there a cassette for multiple DVD's in it?
Did you have an aluminum shear pin in that winch when it locked up? Just wondering because I would hate to pop the PTO off of my M818. Sorry you busted yours up but I got my PTO for the M52 from Murrays in Delaware. Got to go pull it myself out in their yard.
Welcome to the site and this sounds like a shifter issue can you take the top off and look inside? It could also be the sprag if it is locked between going forward and backward. Very hard to say without a little more information.
Is a HF boat radio also a HAM?
Sorry I know these are like 3-30 Mhz and have 150 watts of power. I think they are also somtimes known as Single Side Band but I know we had HF radio in the Coast Guard that could go thousands of miles in our radio room cause the Squirrels were always DXing...
The Multifuel is not an inherently weak engine it is subject to some specific design issues that have been mentioned but I am an Army Transporter with many years of truck operations and can tell you that the dueces usually got over rev'ed by Soldiers if they took them on the road. It is one of...
I would save it if you have the money and room to keep it. It would be sold already here in America if it was on the sale block. So many guys would love to drive it to a rally they would most likely be standing in line for it. I love the winch set up with cable and capstan I had a capstan...
I sure hope that we all have our Turkey Dinners digested and are happy now. I am sure that our fellow Steel Soldier feels bad loosing his brakes and I can tell you I lost one side on my Suburban on a panic stop due to a rusted line and the pin hole it allowed in a panic stop. We have not heard...
Are you going to take it off an polish it up a bit before firing it up? It looks like the corrosion on the intake turbo may cause some loss of flow. This is a great idea and since my exhaust needs work I may be looking into doing this on my tractor too.
I must have missed it. comes from being 14 hours off the rest of you. Lets keep it a great site and support the policies that Chris sets. I thought the election was over too so talk about Rockwells not Rockafellas
I got one of these on a dolly lift set I just went on line and filled one out and sent it in. I did tell them it would not include a copy of my licence because they already have a copy of it from the previous E"UC they never bothered me again on it.
It is just plain theft and should be filed with the MP's on post let them get a lot of MP reports on stolen equipment and the Post Commander should pay them a visit or send the company an offical reprimand. Do not tolerate it report it and make them pay for their negligence
