RE: Re: RE: Re: M818 questions...
The M818 was designed primarily to tow the M127 M128 and the expando vans they all had 11.00 X 20 tires as well and hook up just right with the tractor. A trailr with 9.00 X 20 wheels will sit a little front high if hooked to an M818. The M818 / M127 combo is...
Nice Adam:
I often wonder when mistakes like 12 Volt for 24 Volt are made who is working at the shop? I do like the idea of having one on the truck. I hope to add one to each of my diesels at some point in the future. I have a few digital ones that I got from GL a few years back all of them...
Actually in Iraq on the FOB's there are still dueces serving as get around vehicles. Most of them where either cut up for scrap or sold to the Iraqi government. But there are still a few FOB runners on Active Duty. In my album is a shot of the dueces lined up in Kuwait that were being...
Ted:
You should be allowed to go over to the AMC HMMWV Rebuild shops and make sure they are doing it right. I saw an aweful lot of rebuild programs and none have looked as good as yours.
They look like runners to me. My duece had a flat in the exact same spot as a result of a loose valve core. Aired it up and drove it home 350 miles I find if the trucks have the tarp and shackles still on them chances are the truck drove in from the unit. Worse case I see is you will have to...
Thanks for posting that story. It was an awesome read and thank God America has had folks like the pilot and the designer and the companies that built them. Think about that when you see the politians that want to change things. They do not have a clue
RE: Re: RE: My tool trailer conversion for business use
Funny because I thought you had a fitting I might need my daughters home in Baltimore took me many hours to get the sewer straight after years of poor grade in the line all kinds of crap (literally) built up and it ran terribly slow. I...
RE: tarp
I have to get around to welding up fenders for mine since I can get it to pass MD inspection without them. I like the small trailer size with the big capacity and currently mine is holding a welding machine. It looks like you could go buy a Harbor Frieght one in the size shown above...
Hooah Army thanks for serving. Welcome to the site and hope you have a great transisiton.
What are your plans after you get out? I got out after six back in the 70's and found I missed it so here I am now with over 32 years in.
Are you in the 25th Division?
Have you checked with the DRMO or the local National Guard to see what they do with excess items dispositioned for sale? Other than that I can not help but most states have a few yards tucked away somewhere. I know as a kid my Grandfather got an M38 from some guy in Northern Indiana.
This should be titled a foolish government and it's most reliable equipment are soon parted.
Great buy for that price you could flip it for three times what you paid for it but don't do it you will love the duece
RE: What neighbors
Wow that is pretty. Can you show some pictures of the MV's out there in the high desert? I miss the land we had when I grew up the only thing you heard in the morning was animals and then one of the tractors starting up. My children are broken from living in cities.
I...
I inadvertantly poked a hole in my canvas and I sealed it with silicone glue a couple of years ago and it has held up well. Are you going to sew the canvas and fix the bows? What did the other guy look like after the rumble?
It looks a little rough and the fifth wheel is a commercial slider not the original one. It looks like it got hit by a trailer or something that knocked the front light back. The price is right for a non winch truck in that condition as long as it starts and runs.
Lloyd:
I got back late Monday night Korean time. Hit the ground running and it is finally Friday, the biggest problem is getting back to the time zone and stop waking up at 0200 wide eyed and bushy tailed. Thanks for your kind comments. I am looking for a colonel job so I can get the eagles...
I have quite a few metal ones including three I highjacked off of an Iraqi vehicle during the first Gulf war. They are better than ours and have an itegral spout that you simply unscrew the cap and reverse the main cap and the vented spout is ready for pouring. I always keep them full of...
