    MVPA convention August 2011

    No, I can't I'm behind on my bills and I have to work outside this weekend anyways. I'd be digging the hole more if I made the trip and even then I can't afford anything there anyways. Have a great time guys, see you down the road.

    LTR450K's 64 M416 Trailer

    When I restored my old M416 trailer twelve years ago, I beadblasted the springs and the bands weren't that bad a shape, so I left them on. Yours, I can't see from the picture, but if they are very rusted and weak, take the springs to a local spring shop and they can redo them for you for a few...

    military earthmoving equipment owners?

    Some others I saved pictures of - first six are dozers that have been sold on GL over the years, mostly CATs, but one large Euclid. Last pic is of a large restored LeTourneau Tournapull scraper, turned into a specialty carrier for the Air Force.

    Dragon Wagon in Apollo space program

    Well, sorta. Saw this on Wikipedia, picture of a M26 Dragon Wagon Pacific (the unarmored one) working underneath a Saturn V rocket section sometime around 1970. Link below, and a pic. The DW is the large (but small in the picture) vehicle bottom center...

    M820, What's the story?

    Most MV buyers of the bigger truck, believe it or not, are people who are going to use the trucks for work. It is much easier to use a 5-ton for work with a buyer-installed flatbed than a van body with a small door in back.

    Distracted driving

    Last Friday, just down the road from me a guy driving an SUV was texting on his cellphone, crossed the center line and plowed facefirst into an oncoming dump truck. He was killed instantly, the dump truck driver wasn't charged with anything and only had to buff the brain matter off his front...

    M762 Data Plate (Photo)

    Much appreciated, I am slowly converting my M416 to a M762, I can't find original data plates, but at least seeing the originals will help.

    The Truck Is Here

    I remember the website of the builder (of both the truck and the shelter), it was an awesome setup! Congrats on a nice purchase....

    Woohoo... Won a M109A4 out of PA!

    Just kidding about the preview and the cracked block - I'm sure it's a great truck. Tried to get a few laughs from other folks, it didn't work. Probably cuz some of us here HAVE been burned on trucks that had hidden problems. Oh well. Enjoy the new rig....

    Bad day in Oshkosh

    And announcing the newest candidate for a one-way trip to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in sunny Tucson AZ! He really should put a set of NDTs on that bird if he's gonna go offroad like that. Get much better traction in the dirt.

    Woohoo... Won a M109A4 out of PA!

    Yeah, I previewed this one last week, it has a vented #2 cylinder on the bottom end, clear through to the crank. Be good for a repower, though.

    Sudden thread trouble

    Sorry, couldn't help myself - there was a number of threads earlier this year by someone who had a virus or had their account hacked, and 20 threads had "I have dueces for sale at http://www.calguns.net" posted in them at the same moment. It was interesting, to say the least. This time was...

    Can't post

    Same here - otherwise it says I haven't typed anything. Normally I'd send a PM to the site admin, but we all know mangus is a no-load who won't do anything anyways.

    Break the rules and get banned?

    Yes, I think if you do something against the rules, you should get at least a couple days off.

    military earthmoving equipment owners?

    I forgot I took this one - old proof roller that was parked behind Roman's Surplus in Chambersburg, PA a few years back. Since gone, not sure if scrapped or saved. But it still had the Army star on the side.
