    HEMTT Parts

    Thanks, GR. Gets to the point that as much as I would like to conquer this challenge on my own, sometimes you have to ask for help from the rest of the troops. The stuff is around out there, just has to be found before it makes it to the scrap pile. Dave

    HEMTT Parts

    Hey Wreckerman! Yup - I've already talked to Ted some time ago about some other items - I will have to get to checking with him on this one. Trust me - there is a list for sure - but I can only focus on one or two things at a time while searching if I am going to keep my head into my work as...

    HEMTT Parts

    Thanks GR, I have seen the 900 ones around - matter of fact I think I still have an ISO bed and spare carrier in the classifieds for sale (don't know if the carrier is complete - came w/ the bed). This one is for a HEMTT restoration that I am hoping to get my teeth into this summer. Been...

    HEMTT Parts

    Hey Guys - Just checking to help with my searching - Does anybody know of anyone with one of the HEMTT "Spare Tire/Wheel Lifts". I think the Manuals acually refer to it as a Spare Tire Davit. It basically is a pipe bent at about a 90 degree angle with a manual winch on it for...

    after manually priming, truck starts, then dies

    Ya, I pretty much understand the "bad ground" problem, thanks. I had a similar issue w/ every single clearance light (over 20) on my enclosed car trailer! I think my problem is going to be dry rotted/cracked wiring inside the roof and wall panels from simply the passage of time and, being a...

    after manually priming, truck starts, then dies

    Hey guys - sounds like this group might be a little more receptive to a question or two. In our effort to hopefully consolidate our/my MV collection to the ones that we most probably will have the time for instead of just looking at them - the wife and I have decided that we (90% sure) will...

    24v LED headlights

    I can't seem to find them on e-bay either. Maybe the listing ended/sold out? Anybody know?

    Please help the new guy!

    GREAT POST FMJ - just thought I would "pat you on the back" - nice and short and to the point. Great directions/instructions and good caution tip for the "guy who is not an electrical guy". Even if this is not the cause of his problem, a lot of people will be checking out their "battery...

    Declassified rarities from USSR

    Very cool trucks - Thank you very much for going through all of the work to add them to the website. Always cool to see engineering minds at work. I'm thoroughly impressed, Bruce!! Sometimes I question my skills with English! Dave

    New guy with a 1968 M35A2

    Cool Pictures - Got to love dogs in military trucks - just kind of looks right. Try once and a while to get my dogs up in any of ours, but its not often enough to make them comfortable with it. Too much work to pay for toys - not enough quality time at home. Shame on me.

    perspective deuce owner

    I think the whole "ice cream and hot dog stand" deuce might be a classified military prototype situation - SHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! They may have just let it slip out! Hmmm - as to the 100" tires -- it is the easy way to go amphibious!! Let me see, want 100" tires (of course they must fit on stock...

    HEMMT to Deuce adapter plate mounting.

    I think the adapter plates you guys have are only intended to be installed on the front of the HEMTT wheels. Another guy - Mike - out of Michigan - went through great lengths to punch or drill the holes the correct size to reinstall the studs in the plates for installation on the back of the...

    Bought A Tank

    Heavysteven - I know they are probably "required" or it might get lost (probably just has some kind of transfer documents inside) - I just find it somewhat comical that a piece of iron such as that HAS STICK-ON PACKING LIST(s) !! Never know - might get misplaced or misfiled. Might get...

    How to get it home?

    Hey Guys - Just read through this whole "recovery thread" and just thought I would insert some thoughts from my end of the world. I get somewhat confused from time to time by folks who might criticize others for getting a little short with someone for the old "wanting something for nothing"...

    Battled Damaged A10

    I hope it doesn't get deleted. Just my opinion, but it doesn't show any "Holy C**P" torn up stuff that tears your heart out (although any damage to an airplane could be). Hey - if it made it on TV, it can't be that harsh. I think the point of the "no battle damage" rule is to not give any...

    UP of Michigan

    Welcome from "below the bridge". Spent 10 or so years in Houghton, Hancock - where did you say you were calling home? When you land a project MV, you are going to have to give it the "Arctic Camo" being as you guys usually have snow from Halloween to Easter on a warm year!!!!!!! Again...

    2011 Findlay Ohio military show/swap

    Thanks, Scott I thought that was just to order a "packet" - should have just checked it to see. Appreciate it - now to see if there is the time. A convoy from Michigan might be cool. Always a little peace of mind in a group. Have not done a long distance convoy in quite some time. How...

    2011 Findlay Ohio military show/swap

    OK - silly question.........been in the mv world for quite a while but I have never been to the Findlay show. I know that it is probably in May, but I'm having trouble finding a website for it to check out the dates to see if I can possibly make it this year. Sooooooo........(get ready for the...
