I was looking at the lines of the truck, might it be an old M125 cargo truck with the bed removed? I can't tell - I want to say the 123 and 125 were different wheelbases, not sure but it looks a little long to be originally a tractor....

We had TA-1 field phones in the early 90s, but I can't remember seeing the old TA-312 field phones at all.

Oh I'm sure there are one or two people in the MVPA who own cannon carriages and limbers from the Civil War. :) But you made a good effort! Great restoration work there!

Awesome looking half track! The quad 50s really are the coolest, should still have MVs with that setup IMHO.

Please explain the difference between WD-1 and WD-1A. I see rolls of it in the scrap piles at Colemans all the time, just want to know what to look for when I head there next....

Was driving south on Rt. 11 just south of Winchester VA and the sight of a large angular truck caught my eye. Turned out it was a 10-ton M123, which had been modded into a fire truck of some sort. There was a pump on the front and some form of bed put onto the back that looked like it had one...

"Colombian pilots fly through storms in decrepit planes over dense forests..." Decrepit planes? That sucker is one of the most well-built tough-as-nails airplanes ever built in world history. I've seen pictures of them come home from war missions with large sections of them blown off and they...

Retails prices are the high cost you pay for a smooth transaction. Surplus prices are the benefit you get with the high cost of the PITA it is to deal with GL. Enjoy!

Pretty cool, but WAY too shiny for military mules! I'm with R Racing, needs to be OD!

That's a lot of stuff on the front bumper. I don't have that much, I have to add the pintle hitch to the front, but the only additions I made were two bumper steps and lower shackles like the A3 has. Also have to weld on bumper guides like my first deuce had.

So.... I guess R Racing got some free hydraulic fluid in the bed that he will have to wash out.

Well, I am definitely out. I was hoping to sell a couple higher end items over here to fund the trip, but no buyers, and even if I did in the next week I have some other bills coming due that are priority. Wish things were better on this end, but until I get a J O B I can't rationalize...

Driver523 worked on it as a civilian contractor, it was an experiment to armor the M809 series trucks for convoy duty in Iraq. It never went anywhere. Here's a bigger pic.

That is the hydraulic fluid tank for the winch.

You're gonna like that trailer. I sure do. Wish they were auctioned off more frequently! :)

Thanks, Mutt! That's pretty cool, didn't know someone was already making them.

Has anyone ever modified a Mule to tow a trailer behind it? It's kinda hard, being that the engine is in the back, but I think with a little ingenuity one could haul a small yardwork trailer, or a 1/4-ton jeep trailer, behind it for hauling firewood or boxes....

You should have them paint it green and be able to use jeep rims and tires, and composite mil-spec taillights. Just an idea. [thumbzup]

Great job so far on the M43 ambulance, zout! Makes me wish I never sold by meat wagon....

With M105s as common as they are now, I don't blame you. Let the rusty one go to the woodchucks that would work it to death hauling firewood. However, 20 years from now, when the supply of fresh M105s is exhausted, there might be more of an effort to repair cancer like this in the surviving...
