    please ID trailer for me

    Colemans used to have some, not anymore, all were sold or scrapped. They were single axle flatbeds, very wide, kinda like a kitchen trailer. Each corner had a leveling jack. Not a M103 or M353. Any ideas?

    commercial replacements for M416 shocks

    Are there any drop in replacements that are COTS from any of the major suppliers, for the M416 series trailer? I've seen NOS ones for sale, but 40 year old shocks are prolly junk from seal rot.

    selling my PRC-104 :(

    Didn't want to, but being out of work for 4+ months makes you change your mind. Decided to sell my RT-1209 transceiver, wanted to post it here because there were a few guys talking about the PRC-104 recently and thought might want to know. Vintage military PRC-104 RT-1209 transceiver radio ...

    MKT Kitchen trailer BII items

    Does anyone have pictures or a list of all the BII items that are supposed to go with the MKT kitchen trailer? I cruise Colemans junkyard a lot, and if I see something that goes to it, I want to pick it up. Pictures would be great, all laid out, of everything that goes in the trailer.....

    pics of M56 Scorpion

    Took these in Culpeper VA at the VFW years back, around 2002 or so. Was in sorry shape then, probably worse now with the vandals around there. At that time, there were beer cans stuffed down the barrel - wish I could give it a good home. Enjoy the pics.

    parts trading at Haspin

    Once again, starting a thread for those who might be wanting to swap parts at Haspin. I know it's not a MV show per se, but with so many people going from all locations, it may be a good opportunity to horse trade, and move stuff around the country for people.

    pioneer tool trailers - kit or factory?

    Does anyone know if the M101-based pioneer tool trailers were factory items, or add-on kits to modify existing M101 or M116 trailers in the field? Only reason I ask is I saw a pioneer trailer body sitting in the field at Colemans, but no frame or anything else attached to it, like it had been...

    Used a flamethrower tank?

    Has anyone ever had any user experience in a war zone with the M48-based or M-113 based flamethrower tanks, sometimes called "Zippos"? Just curious about their design, I haven't seen too much on the internet about them. What volume of fuel could the pumps shoot out of flame fuel per minute...

    ether bottle - quick start

    Finally found a local dealer that had a can of ether starting fluid and knew what it was. It was a NAPA store that also deals with truckers a lot. In stock, for $42 a can. :shock: And it was ON SALE, regularly $65 a can. I bought it, but one can of this stuff will probably last the...

    modern tire size conversion for 14.00x24 tires

    Was talking with Dirt71 the other day, he mentioned that 14.00x24 tires for the 10-tons are not common anymore. I agreed, but I said there has to be a modern swappable equivalent for that size, since the only things I can find in 14.00x24 size are motor grader tires. Are there any...

    deuce accessory switch handle - weird shape?

    Okay, I know I already asked a stupid question this weekend, but I have a good one: why does the deuce accessory switch look like the weird red-headed stepchild it is? All the other switches and knobs on military equipment are pretty simple and standard, only this switch looks like an arm...

    What are these things on the firewall?

    Was removing the heater yesterday, and had to attack a wiring mess on the firewall that I want to clean up and simplify. These three black things had a pile of jumpers plugged into them, not sure the purpose, I can't find them in the manuals. They are the black, two-socket electrical plugs on...
