One of the boys knows some folks that needed to play some airsoft games with some other folks. The G749 farm is almost ideal for games and we had some visitors come stretch their legs. https://opvalour.com/

Was it anywhere near the Titanic? That will never happen to most of us. The ladies can't get us to vacuum. I thought this might be a rare occurrence but it happens. https://rennlist.com/forums/928-forum/488155-fuel-tank-imploded-not-catastrophic-2.html

Did you get any pics of those G506's? That's one truck on the list of 'shapes I want to touch with sand paper' before I can't move my arms.
Does your child know you built her a graduation hall that you're going to use as a garage? BEautiful work brother, I can't wait to see more.

The search function here is funky but if you type in that magnifying glass in the right corner, "mkt-90 kitchen trailer" and hit search, you'll get 5 pages of all kinds of titles including yours.

I did this last week but got distracted by a marine, sorry. What's the scoop? Here's the scoop.
It's basically 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" base with 3 3/4" height off the hood. This one is 3 pieces with the top/angled/sloped piece requiring a 7" long x 5 1/4" rectangle to allow for a 6 1/2" slope with a...
Oh man you found that NATO number, thank you. I can usually hunt that info down but the search terms, they are a changing, to quote Bob Dillon. I'm sure Mattech still has a few of those Southwind heaters around and the topic is interesting enough we will likely gather a heater collection for...
That's the first thing I did was grab a hose and flex it when I heard......careful. They actually seem ok. Imagine sticking your hose in a box 50 or 60 years ago and pulling it out only to find it's not rotten. Good times.
cmpMAN we miss you around here. I ran that number on the boxes and came up dry but they did say 2 1/2 ton on the box. I was with a Mattech at that moment and didn't want to say anything about the military labeling things wrong. I think I found a third style maybe you've seen this type. What is...
It's interesting that they put two different kinds of drain taps in them. Consistently inconsistent.
Some random parts hunting pics,
I did find some 'spare' G749 Gerry Can holders still in the boxes if somebody is doing a resto resto resto project.
We went heater nuts today. These heaters are a little different than the ones in the TM's above. The outlet is smaller and it's not like the picture. Maybe we can pull up the CDN TM version off the box numbers. The pics,
That certainly shows how camo can be improved under the right conditions. A little taste of the color/line pattern showed up on a CDN M211 we had. The M37 was an original paint color trying to impersonate a Birch tree or mountain.
The future of camo is going to be bizarre with screen/camera...
I ran that number and found it all. Thank you. https://archive.org/stream/TechnicalBulletinTb9-2855-43PersonnelHotWaterHeaterKit/TB_9-2855-43_heater_djvu.txt

The days will start getting shorter soon so it's a good time to talk about heaters. Many of the CDN deuces had under dash heaters that are hard to find so we're always on the look out for this style.
More recently a fantastic fella named Cliff was cleaning out his yard and passed along a...

This video should get around fast. I was going to roast this driver for texting but that truck deck might look black just like the highway from the back. I don't see a second Red and Blue behind the truck or a big fl;ashing arrow on the roof so this may be the perfect storm for our education...
I know that situation. You're new around here so welcome aboard and I'll just bet Ohio will chime in along with the 'we want pictures' committee.
