    900 series winch questions

    I sold a 5 ton winch to some friends of mine and it will be mounted on a tug boat using hydrolics to run it. This winch was off a 900 series so it has the coupler and hyrolic motor flange.. 1 1/4 shaft size is what he said. So far a civi size motor has not been found. Do any of you have the...

    Lot of Jeep questions

    He tried posting on that site and has had no responses. Was it common practice to throw a jeep together after the war and then just tag it the year they did this? I will take my camera over and get some pictures to help with this. So I am trying the SS guys..lol..:-D

    m43 abulance question

    Looks real solid and complete.. In todays market I would give 3k for it if the motor runs.. $3500 seems a bit high to me.. I hope you get it.

    m43 abulance question

    Just a word of caution.. If its been sitting for any amount of time bypass the fuel tank.. Use a boat motor tank with fresh fuel and tap into it just before the fuel pump.. She may have ran good but chances are if its been sitting you will suck crap into it and then she will run like crap...

    m43 abulance question

    From what you say it sounds worth it... Good tires? How does the motor sound? When you say original what does this mean? still 24 volt? Offer them 3k and see what they say..

    Messerschmidt Me109 G4 visiting the Soellingen airbase

    They are not a easy plane to land or take off in with that type of landing gear.. Well .. on my IL2 Sturmovik Flight simulator game anyway! :-D This is cool.. I was able to see a earlier version ME109 fly here in Michigan two years ago.. Nothing else sounds like them..

    His EUC has been sent to Battle Creek so it may clear this week also.. If thats the case we should meet you there.. Its his first deuce also so no hurry on anything.

    M36A2 & Others 1/9 Lansing recovery

    It has the same amount of springs as my other A2's but they are thicker.. It also has re-enforcing ribs on the inside and outside of the box on all 4 corners along with a welded angle iron piece above it.. I assume this is for lifting strength. You will see many of the old ones with bent bottom...
