Looking good.

I"ll be in a black Yetter Farm Equipment cap.

I'm departing on Wednesday morning after doing some errands here. Staying at a bed and breakfast in Dover. Be at the convention Thursday morning.

I'm planning to come. Some of us from our local mvpa chapter talked about making a convoy down but not sure if we can pull off in a day from SE Iowa.

Looks like it was a good turn out. Planned to be there but got roped into planning an impromptu armed forces day display on this side of the state.

One of the members of our MVPA affiliate recently bought one of these trucks and had a catastrophic failure of the front planetary drive on the axle just a few miles from base. After seeing the set up myself, one cannot see the fluid level on the axle at all. That was the start. Then because...

Just had to go for the oddity in the line up this month. Cranetruck's rig is just too unique to not get my vote.

Contact Emerson industrial (parent company of Rigid pipe tools). Leroy-Somer is somehow tied into emerson's power generation division. Not sure if they are owned by them or just a distributor for their products but the name lives on in some sort of entity.

I'll nominate my M149A2 water buffalo.

I'll put it on the calendar. Not sure if I will drive the M35 as that is well over 150 miles each way but I will be there one way or the other.

I like the idea of a gathering. Des Moines wouldn't be a bad location, since for those of us at the far edges of the state it is only about 3 hours give or take by civilian vehicle. I'd be game for Atlantic too. Haven't spent much time in that part of the state other than driving through...

Ok, wearing my dealer hat again. Lincoln and Miller make great welders, but you tend to pay for the paint when it comes to plasmas from those companies. Places like Airgas, Praxair, Matheson, and the ma pa companies tend to carry another Hypertherm or Victor-Thermal Dynamics for their plasma...

Hobart machines are 85-95% miller parts. Nearly all of the consumables are miller. Biggest visual difference is the mig gun connector is a different diameter. Other differences are: tapped power versus rheostat control, and lots of the internal parts tend to be plastic where miller might be...

Greetings and welcome from the southeast part of the state.

Welcome from Wapello, Iowa. One teir of counties south, and six counties east.

Being a dealer for both red and blue welder, and getting all sorts of people asking day in and day out what is the best machine, the thing I can tell you is if there was one machine that was "best" for everything, there would only be one. Each machine has its purpose, use, and limitations. If...

Vote for iatractor. This truck recently participated in a convoy to Quincy Illinois to provide a Veteran's Day parade escort to Sgt Major Richard Pace. He served two tours in Vietnam and was also the lead horseman for President Kennedy's funeral. This picture shows the line up of our...

Yes, use nitrogen to pressurize. One of my customers buys 20 cft nitrogen tanks to pressurize their steam turbines in a sealed container not unlike these engine cans. Think they run about 5 psi on them.

I'm with Doghead on this. About the time someone takes one and titles/registers it illegally, they will pull the plug on the sales at the very least. Worst case scenario they go after not just the ones out there, but all military vehicles in private hands. Considering how the media tends to...

This will be interesting to see, especially if our steel soldier members get them. Talked to a customer of mine that is in the national guard about these vehicles. Best advice he gave to me about them if I buy one is to remember that it is an overgrown pickup, not a deuce, and not a tank. If...
