    M923A2 exhaust mainifold gasket change (help)...

    I got everything from cummins. Remember to spray the crap out of the top bolts with rust eater. Then don't loosen first but tighten maybe 2 mm. Then loosen 2mm then tighten back and forth. The spray again. Wait and try to loosen. Remember the turbo gasket! Let me know if you need more help...

    FV432 TWO years of saving I finally bought it...

    Thanks to all! The English do things a little different. Instead of buying a motor in production they had rolls Royce make one for them. It sounds like a Detroit cause it is a 2 stroke but that's where it stops! It has TWO crankshafts! To do any and I mean any work on the motor you must remove...

    My Tank Trailer

    Hey Plowboy! Good to hear from you again. These 2 plows I traded were extras. Not front line equipment. I had no idea they had that much value. You ready for the white stuff? I started checking trucks and sanders over this week Trailer is rated at 36,000 tons it can haul. That's in kilos.

    The "boss" just keeps saying you can only drive one at a time so why do you need more than one?

    My Tank Trailer

    Well its not really original ex military but it will look better once it gets painted Nato Green. This was my top of the top horse trading I have ever done. I traded 2 old snow plows even up for the 3 axle. Im going to use it to pull my FV432. This month has been busy and the wife is getting...

    FV432 TWO years of saving I finally bought it...

    After saving for 2 years and looking all over europe I bought my first tracked MV. I have heard pros and cons to the 432 but its the only APC in my price range. Lets hope for the best!

    Tatra 813 vs MAN Kat1 10t

    All I can clearly and honestly say I have owned and operated both. Parts are not as easy as they were to find and prices are 5 times higher in a short time. My 813 Passed more time waiting for parts than being used. I can go to my local Man dealer and he has the part tomorrow morning. I must...

    Tatra 813 vs MAN Kat1 10t

    Well I have had both. The 813 kolos was sold 2 years ago but I still have my Man KAT 5 ton. The difference is like night and day between the to! The 813 is crude and I mean crude. Parts are cheap when you find them and you will need to find a source for they do break, BUT the MAN KAT just goes...

    M923A1 was unloaded today!

    I must agree to never sell it outside Europe. Prices were €7.500 to 8.500 and not they are 6.000 to 6.800 and nicer trucks are showing up. No I have museum status I hope to start getting these almost free. I have put a request for tracked APC's and MBT's. There are still M60A3's here and M113's...
