Over did it yesterday in the heat.....be careful!
I went back to our small farm this morning, I was so out of it yesterday, every door was open and all the feed cans were open, just was not thinking right. I always douple check every thing before I depart the farm. Might be Gods way of telling...
Does any one know of a truck running empty back to the east coast? I have a M2 half track in Nabraska that I need moved to North Carolina. The M2 should wieght in around 16000 to 19000 pounds, as it does have complete armor. It runs so loading should not be a problem, and the rancher has a...
First, they are big...
The guy has two. I did not have that much time today to look them over, but I plan on going up again with a camera.
The truck that I might be after is a M543, with what looks like a brand new multi fuel motor in it. The truck looked very complete. Had the front and rear...
I was talking to a friend today about a couple of wreckers coming up on the GL sells. He also buys some trucks, mainly 5 tons. He says he has two 5 ton wreckers in his lot, they both have muti fuel motors. He does not know what kind they are. The only thing he remembers is they have muti fuel...
I found two manuals in my tool trailer for the grinding machine. This is the grinding machine that grinds the chainsaw chain,..it sharpens them.
If any one is restoring their trailer and needs one of the manuals let me know and it is yours. I have two to get rid of. The manual is free, just pay...
I went up to my 1966 M35a2 today to crank her up and let her run for awhile. I do this every month.
Today, she turned over very strong, but would not fire up. I made sure the STOP ENGINE cable was all the way in. She just would not start. She cranked up last month with no problems and ran great...
My friend just got a M35 and two 5 tons at the GL sell at Camp Lujuene, NC. On all his trucks on both doors about 8 inches from the bottom of the door there is a hole that has been drilled. It looks like a 9/16 bolt would go though it. Also on his trucks the numbers 36 with a V has been painted...
I went to the GL sell here at MCAS Cherry Point and looked at over 20 sets of the Viet Nam war M19 binoculars. All of them had very poor cases, out of 20 I picked out and won four of the best ones. I bidded on the four hoping to win one to display on the M530C, but ended up with four.
I am...
Found in a pile of parts today, the license plate for the front of the Division Roadmasters truck!
The plate has DIVISION ROADMASTER in bold black letters on it. This plate would look great on a CUCV with a light kit.....
I live between two Marine bases here, with REAL roadmasters running up and...
I know on a M35 series truck you can look at the axles for build dates to find out what year your truck was made. Were would you look on a M813 to find out the year it was made?
Also, where is the serial number stamped?
the data plates are no help on this truck that my friend just got.
thanks...
We are getting ready to deep six a motor that, I was told came off a generator. It is painted flat green, so it is military. The only thing I can find so far is a little sticker that has:
ONAN
0160D-L/ 10399A
Does any one know what the motor goes to? It looks new.

Thanks.

Thanks for any help.

True story about combat rims and our"Greatest Generation".
About 15 years ago, I picked up a nice 1943 Ford GPW Jeep. It came with the wrong tires and rims. I had some WWII jeep combat rims to put on it, but they were not in the best of shape. They were rusted out around the valve stem area...
