Definately keeps things interesting when the "Better Half" shares the hobby with you. Mine knows I don't care for Christmas, its her holiday though and I do things for her . Every year she asks what I want for Christmas, anoter truck, parts for the ones I have..... She just wants to get me...

Jet Ske trailer?? Would have to be one serious ramp for launching, you'd have to back a long way in to get water deep enough. Might want to use a fording equipped vehicle eh.....

The u-ship program seems to work very well, we listed some parts the Navy donated for rebuilding a LARC-V for Sea Cadet use, and found six bidders almost overnight. The winning bidder is a broker, but the hauler is a reputable major company. The broker had contacted the depot in Gulfport...

The fuel system air leak sounds like a prime culprit, the lift pump second. I've a pair of 6B-5.9's in a govt. boat I run and a friend has one on a firepump on his boat. The cummins mechanic stated these are a great utility engine in forklifts and such, but that is about it, otherwise they...

A friend bought a P&H 4060 crawler from DRMO in Puerto Rico, it was supposed to have the boom sections with it, but when it arrived, they were missing,( guess the guy who bought the other, from the island, took all the boom sections and got away with it. though it did come with a nice little...

Our "Group" has some LARC-V parts being donated to us for repairing a unit for the local Sea Cadets unit. They are in Gulfport, Miss and need to be in Bellevue, Ohio. Anybody moving something this way or part of it have room on a load. We could use some help. (419) 626-6349 ask for Pat

the reason is called ATLANTA, GA. and unfortunately they do lose alot of law enforcement officers down there due to serious drug runners and more. Doraville, in that county is at the end of the transit system out of Atlanta and that department uses it to get potential problems out of their...

Chances are one of the not for profits got their paperwork in for a transfer to the sea scouts or something just under the wire, and it had to be pulled. The Naval Sea Cadets have a converted torpedo weapons retriever in Michigan. Called "Greyfox", its got "issues" due to its being converted to...

and all courtesy to South Dave in Ripley, Ohio, from a cop in Sandusky, Ohio, but there are departments here who could use that kind of protection for its officers. It helps bring bad actors out alive, thus reducing "suicide by cop" events and other such things as well as like I said, allowing...

Looks like it will be a nice rig when done, and a little more practical that Doraville's swat wagon. But their APC is really nice too and having their own 'prime mover' to haul it helps. It had just been redone when I last saw it. I was down there from Ohio for some re-certifications on some...

There is a guy in London Kentucky who has one, and I think he had it done by a friend of his, looks VERY professional, and according to him, its not real difficult at all if you have some simple sheet metal and bodywork skills. He had to shorten the cargo bed, and trim in the second cab tub just...

Roscoe, where in Spencerville are you? I've got relation there I visit 'occasionally' and havn't heard them talk much of any OD Green in the area, and they know I'm a collector.

You didn't specify, "another WHAT"??? I've told mine several times I'd pack her stuff for her, Lionel and all and she could go elsewhere, but it didn't work. Told her if she came home and found her christmas tree lashed to the top of her truck, well, it was time to move back to Michigan. 29...

Ya gotta have one like mine. She love's playing with OD green stuff more than I do as long as she doesn't have to get too dirty doing it. She still wants a tracked vehicle, (read her own tank or APC), but I told her she had to learn to put the track back on herself first. She tried helping...

Think I saw something in a spoof on 'Tankers' about the "Adventures of Tank Mouse" where the idea was to remember the M-1 is not amphibious or something like that. If I can figure out how to do it, I'll get the whole "Tank Mouse" thing posted here. Its a riot, unless you're a real serious...

The officers boat isn't that rare, matter of fact, General Propulsion in Long Beach CA and Virginia have several. The best thing to do with it right now besides getting rid of the "squatters" in the cabin is put a dehumidifier in there and close up the boat. Those hulls were known to take on...

Building one is a good idea, and there should be more info out there. The "Guntruck" books don't seem to do them justice, and mention them as almost an afterthought. I'm planning on building one as well. Have three "37's", one will be kept original, its a nice unit, one is a 'guntruck'...

The other problem with the whole thing is what the 'feds' (read Tank and Automotive Command) want you to do to "demil" the machine. They A. Want you to pull the powerpac, engine and transmission, and return it to them or hand it over to the local Guard folks who would probably destroy it, or...

Oh, the reason ODOT is a little "Wierd", we had a "Sherman" to move, belongs to the Allen County Historical Society in Lima, and they wanted it in Toledo Ohio foir the Memorial Day parade on a Saturday, it needed to be in Lima for their Monday parade.. Simple enough right? WRONG. ODOT says...

We were planning a move for an M-60 in Ohio, and may still have to do it, its 63 tons, and we'd have to split the load, hull and powerpac on one lowboy, turret (on a turret stand) on the second, that would put us under the 40 tom limit imposed by the ODOT.. (wierd people) We also could move it...
