Thanks. And thats not bad at all! Considering the size and weight of those.

They are gas hogs but the 68 power wagon we used at work was gutsy. 6-8 mpg.

I am olive drab with envy.

You will love the power steering on it!

Chevycrew, did you purchase all the trucks? Sure sounded like a good buy. I am just being nosy.

Gee, I didnt know there was a fuse in there! Does that apply to the old M211 also?

Just checked - my tm #'s on all my books are TM9-2320-211..... not the same as doghead's link suggested. Maybe I have an incomplete set, no wonder I couldnt find it.the 211 is supposed to be 361.

Doghead, Thanks! I looked at the link and read all the conversations. I will take the top of the tranny off and check the gear backlash. I sure dont want major problems.Thanks for the quick reply.

RE: Re: RE: Pulling out semi, car, truck, on a snow day We had rain. But the day before I loaded the old duece with about 12 ton of 2B stone for the driveway and spread that. Filled to the top of the troop carrier sides . Those springs are excellent. Two sets Mains and then helpers. Ground was...

I have a 1970 Kaiser/Jeep 5 ton dump. I am going to install the pto soon. The original was gone and is on another truck. This one is a rebuilt from Memphis Equipmt. I have the gasket which is between i/8" and 1/16" thick. I have searched all my manuals and it says nothing about checking the...

I have seen plumbers crack but now Ive seen finnish welder crack too . Not a purty sight. Did you notice that most of their product say "made in China" ? I think they have been breathing too much welder fumes. :jumpin:

Back in the 70's during the gas rationing, many gasoline engines were swithched to propane, just propane. Is it that the gasoline engines can take the increased btu's better than the diesels? Seems that if the diesels can take the force of compression ,turning to heat and ignition without spark...

A beautiful building, and I agree fully with the above posts. To see some of the machinery our veterans had to use in dangerous conditions really makes you think how brave they were. Thanks for the pictures. It is inspiring for restoration work on these trucks, trailers, ferrets, etc. to bring...

RE: newbie Get a civvie and paint it camo. Theres your A/C possibility. Also welcome aboard. Lots of newbees lately. The fam is growing! I like the name backwoods home! It took me awhile but I am there now. Plenty of room for toys!

If I had to do it over I would have bought all new cause I spent about 15 hours on the dumb things from dismantling putting in new glass, rubber work and repainting.

Yes I did this and it was a tight fit. I took the strip and couldnt slide it in but mine was the old piece but anyway, what I ended up doing was tip one side in and take a dull 1" puttym knife and press the other side in a half inch at a time. Because the channel it goes in is sometimes rusty...
