Out of curiosity, does anyone know what the total amount of all military jeeps put into service were? Be interested to see what the ratio of jeeps to Humvees is.

Answering the question about tanks, the tanks must be secured during transport. Acetylene and other fuel gases must be upright at all times. This is to keep the product from pushing against the relief valves (on propane, propylene, amteleyene, and map) and venting. Acetylene is due to the...

Welcome from another Iowan. As for the M35A3 without title, stay clear of it. Your chances of getting it registered in the state without a clear title is nil to zilch.

I'm going to nominate my M35A2 again.

As someone who used to farm, I'll weigh in on the tractor issue. Stick with the bigger one. Back in the day we had a John Deere 4840 with 180 pto hp and needed a second tractor to do the same work so we bought an IH 3588 2+2. Bad decision, it didn't have the weight nor the nuts the 4840 had...

Late spring or early spring? Back when I was working in Cutbank in 1996, saw one of the worst blizzards in my life in April.

I'll support Piper Cub. It's not everyday that we come across M105's in strata blue. We see o.d. green and desert tan all the time but having something blue keeps it interesting. Plus it would be a first to have a trailer win.

Who is flying it-Wile E. Coyote or Elmer Fudd?

Tell them to go pound sand on their road to ****.

I talked to a guy named Neil from Iron Planet the other day. He is one of the gurus working for the GOVPLANET part of the company. The way he explained things, it sounds like the auctions will operated very similarly to the Iron Planet side. Talked to him for over 30 minutes and he was very...

Cruised around there the other night after signing up to bid. Seen a sporadic smattering of military items in different categories. Wasn't very many of them either so I would venture to guess they were items already in the civilian market. I too would like to see a mv/government surplus...

Thanks for the hard work Clinto. As for the MVPA membership, I've been a member since November. I consider them essential to the hobby, like the NRA for firearms, and the Two-Cylinder club for John Deere fanatics. Yes, I've read the posts and heard the squabble about the mvpa from a few...

I nominate my M35A2 again.

Thanks for the update. It's been pretty frustrating out here trying to figure out what was truly taking place with this situation.

Since my thought of a political forum is a no-go, how about a library/reference forum or sub-section of the tech manual portion? Reasoning: Tech manuals hold a lot of material for our vehicles, but sometimes they aren't the most user friendly books. There have been countless books written...

REB87, are you still using fuel oil to heat your house? As for your trailer, that looks like it might be handy to use as a header trailer. At least if you are running a 6 row corn head, or a wider reel platform. How is the height on it to use for that?

M35A2's are a very capable truck, just don't abuse it and remember, even though parts can be big and heavy, they can be man-handled better than some of the bigger truck parts. Putting 2 or 3 9.00x20 tires and rims in your pickup won't overload it, nor take up every bit of space that a single...

If and when the time comes that we need to get our elected officials involved,(not yet) it would be prudent of us to perhaps have a "canned" draft to send to them. My experience in dealing with them is that they need the email short, what the real issue is, who is involved, the impacts, and...

Thanks, I'm getting a handle on the vehicle nomenclature but severely lacking on weapons system names.

Sorry, I thought this was a TOW. What is this then? Pictured borrowed from an earlier post.
