What I came up with a few moments ago before I looked here and saw that Stretch had been busy: Wednesday Supper – Spaghetti with sauce(s), salad, garlic bread Thursday Breakfast – Eggs, bacon, grits Lunch –Hot dogs, chips Supper – Chicken and Rice (w/celery, onions, carrots). Friday...

I have an inventory list (with prices) of stuff that I will have at my vendor spot (Yellow U5/T9)... Let's see if I can get it to attach itself... PS: My location is also where you pick up your East Coast Convoy shirt and where we will be having the Convoy supper on Friday as well...

Got to say that I have not driven a duece with any of these tires on it in a singled out configuration. I have driven a M109 with the Firestone copy of the Michelin XZL tread on it in a 1100r20 dualed up and it road very well (after the tires got aired down to something reasonable, the...

Actually, the bow corners used on the M37 and the M101 series are different, but you can interchange them, just be aware that the hardware (straps and clips) used to retain the side curtains when you roll up the cargo cover sides on the M37 are different as a result (not a problem, just be aware...

Shame that you are not holding this one week later... I'll be in Haspin this weekend... Of course, by the time I drive out there and back, my but will be a tad sore... Have fun, that route is a great one with a lot of photo ops.

The "roll of paper towels" makes me think of my coalescing element air dryers that I have in my shop air system... When they get wet, I pull one set and set them in the sun (or oven) to dry and then reuse them. They look like rolls of brown paper towels... Of course, a canister with lines...

Yep, it is the NDT. Remember, I have several pages of tire and rim data for M37's on my website... :) Tires

I talked to the folks at LeTourneau a couple years ago when they had a pair of historians working on an official history of the company about this, and again when a different historian wanted to do a book just on this vehicle. In both cases, they wanted permission to use the photos on my site...

A buddy of mine who was in AK during the fifties while in the Army sent me a bunch of photos that he took, including some of the Texas gocart built by R G LeTourneau Longview, Texas. The LeTourneau College website states that the power unit for the overland train was seen in a salvage yard...

The MKT is hitched to the XM813... Most of my personal gear is ready to toss into the truck... As long as Neil has a smooth trip down in the morning, I'm set (he made the run to the commisary for the grub...). A frosty one will be raised in honor of those not in attendance. Best wishes to...

I plan to arrive with the XM813 with the MKT in tow mid-morning on Friday...

I haven't really started to make up my list of stuff that I am bringing (it will be long, as I have plenty of stuff that no longer fits anything in my yard that I need to get gone...), but: M101A2 landing leg with surge brake MC M416 tub M100 frame '52M38 (possible, runs, needs floorboard...

Ferro, and others, I'm in Yellow T8,T9, U4,U5 (same spots as in the previous years). A lot of Steelsoldiers are in the rows near me: BKubu, AMGeneral, Scrounger, Jeff from Tactical Truck, etc. (actually a bunch more, but I forget the screen names...). The convoy BBQ is at my space on Friday...

It takes "forever" to prime using the dash pump... I fill the filter before I put it on, and it still takes a bit of effort. If you have a handy source of compressed air, pressurize the tank (gently) by removing the vent line and using its fitting (just push the tip of your blowgun onto it)...

Of course, if you wanted to keep it as a M416, you could talk to me about the spare tub that I have in the backyard... :) I also have a M762 (USMC varient) in the yard that is kinda/sorta looking for a home... Your project is comming right along, heck of a lot of work invested there.

I'm just up the road from you in Raleigh... :) Welcome. I'm down at Bragg once a month... No longer have a duece in the yard (sent them all up to the familly farm in VA), but I'm always willing to help wrench on somebody else's if you need help with yours...

I drove a M817 from OH to NC after a GL purchase a few years back. Had a buddy (AMGeneral) behind me in a M816 for the trip... We did the filter and fluid swap, changed out the fuel line from the filter to the pump, and straightlined around the selector switch. Truck still ran just as you...

Charles at M Series Rebuild in Norwood, NC, had a huge pile of M101 rack hardware last time I was at his shop... The metal bits that he has are all steel, the wood and/or fiberglass has all been removed since he was salvaging trashed racks. He had the corner pieces, hinges, pins, stakes, etc...

Numbers that I use for renewing the NP200 are: Yoke seals - National 410308 x 4 (Double lip, double case heavy duty) Redi-Sleeve 99212 x 4 Shift shaft seals – National 6835S x 2, Redi-Sleeve 99076 x 2 Enjoy.

Good news! I've gotten into the habbit of sleaving and resealing the shafts on the t-cases of any M37 varient that comes into my yard as standard operating procedure... Amazing how much difference it makes, especially if you have a repowered truck and run down the highway often.
