Often, when I talk to George, he talks me into using a "non-spec" part on one of my five tons since he knows that I want to work them, and that no-one would ever know that I used a civilian part unless they really knew the truck and went underneath to look... He has saved me a lot of money...

I'm not selling tires at this point (have none in stock), but my usual "go to" place for these tires is my local Agricultural Co-Op (Southern States in Madison, VA to be specific) since they stock 900x16 tires... I have lots of info on various tires that folks have mounted on the stock M37 rim...

I use a heavy duty electric wiper setup in mine. The writeup showing how to do it (parts numbers may be out of date, but any good shop should be able to cross them to current numbers) is located at: Electric Wipers I used the same basic setup that Dan Pinkham used on his M37 that he wrote up...

Camping in the the big field (where we camp for the rally) is $10/person/day. We'll have the showers on and the pool is open... :) Fireworks on the 4th start around nine (dark).

I have a few folks that I'll email since they are not on this site... :) I'll be on site Friday afternoon through the Bluegrass festival that occurs the following week (running the concession/shower facility in the camping field...). Remember, my cell phone does not work at Graves (none do)...

Isn't that a bummer... I had a rear support leg for sale at the Aberdeen rally that almost no-one looked at (I was using it to hold down some canvas on the display table...). It is shippable though...

Wish I could help you, but mine is currently without fenders and that bracket... Keep me in mind if you do have some made up (although I do have two folks who want to buy it as it is...).

I had a great time. I didn't get to walk around and visit or look for stuff as much as I would have liked or have in some years, but I wasn't actually looking for any parts in particular this year so that may have worked out for the best. I have money in the pocket and usually, I am broke...

We had a serial unit a couple of years ago that arrived on Wednesday... It was the green one from PA... I'd like to arrive on Wednesday, but have always scheduled the yellow serial (from the south) to arrive on Thursday afternoon in part since I can't get off work earlier in the week, in...

If you go and do a search (I know, I dislike doing it myself), you'll find some posts that I have made concering the NC rules. You can also figure it out by going to the NCDMV website... but that only helps if you are a resident of North Carolina. In short, a North Carolina driver can get...

I have had Gillespie (RAPCO) paint at Aberdeen several times in the past. I almost organized another group purchase this year (I get Mark to ship it by truck to my office on a regular basis and save on hazmat and shipping cost) for delivery at the show, but I've been too busy to do so...

We had a Serial Group in the East Coast Convoy a couple of years ago from PA. It was the Green Serial. The routes posted are for the groups that have signed up already... It would be great if we could resurect the Serial from PA. Shoot me a PM and we can add it to the website... For that...

As mentioned... I can't make it this year... :( I have a new job (still with the same folks, but doing different things) and I have not been able to convince the new boss that I need to take the time off from work... So, the MKT and XM813 will be sitting in the yard dreaming of 2012...

Hmmm, I have a list somewhere of what I put on the truck... :) The XM813 is half loaded with misc truck parts for stuff ranging from M715, to M211's to M915's... Filters, accelerator cables, brake parts, fuel parts, electrical stuff, paint, manuals, etc. I have a few things on the truck...

I had a great time and a much needed break from the "big city." There is nothing like a weekend in the woods relaxing with a bunch of friends. A big shout out goes to Walter for helping me to set up the MKT in the rain and for loaning me his spare cot since mine was down for the count. Not...

Nope, I'm still here...but not often... :( New job, working around twelve to thirteen hours each day. No time most days to check the site during the day and half the time I am too tired to check when I get home. Hopefully, things will relax in a few months and I'll be able to get online...

I gave several dead boxes to a buddy a month ago in order to have him rebuild/upgrade the components in them. He works on military electrical systems for a living and thinks that he can offer a very competative refurb business but wanted to play with a few first. A 900 box will work with a...

It's happening... You can sign up... It has stuff for 2011 on the site (updated menu for Friday night, updated dedication page for Craig Williams, etc.). Since the routes and a lot of the basic info is the same from year to year, the page itself doesn't change a whole lot (we may have to...

I'll likely bring the MKT down anyway... It needs to be aired out and it's easier to just bring it and have everything than to dig out the stuff I want, load the truck, and have to repack everything when I get back home... :) Plus, I need the room in the truck for the stuff that I am hauling up...

Thanks for putting this up, I've recently changed jobs and don't have the daily access to the site that I used to have... :( Art Swain will be running the Northern Serial again this year (just had surgery but will be back in action in time for the Convoy). Wilf Alexander is heading up the...
