What has worked for me is a cat.......first, I do not like cats. Never did. When we bought this farm, the lady said as she was moving out, that "cat" goes with the house. GREAT! a stupid cat...... I have alot of canvas here for all my trucks. Mice love canvas. Right after we moved in, the "cat"...

Funny you posted this! I just walked over to the garage across the road to see if they would work my father in laws mule. he bought it from mules of america for $$$$$$$ and it went about 5 mles or less before the transmission went out. I was looking at one of my mule manuals, and needed a break...

Jay Yes it is. And a fully loaded one at that! That is a M37B1, you can see where it had the door mount spare tire at one time. Also, it has the heater kit on it, that is also a little on the rare side. It looks to also be a winch model. I "think" I can see a slave kit on it also. Very complete...

Back in 1983, I was restoringa 1943 Jeep. I had just met a Korean war Marine, who showed me his photo album from the Korean war. This guy was a grunt, on the front lines, his sister would send him cookies and camera film in cookie tins. He would send the used film back to her in the states in...

Bubba What I have been doing when I have a truck that has no markings. I find a friend that was a vet, that has a photo of a M37 that he was on or the driver of. I take that photo and make my truck the one in that photo. It is a great way to honor a friend. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

My father in law (100%disabled vet) got his mule from Mechanical Mules of America, in the $14000 plus range. He will not tell me how much he ended up paying. Looks purty, pristine?..I "think" it went for about 5 miles before the trans went out in it. Looks to be a great paint job on a...

Church down the road has been sending military trucks to Haiti for years with no problems. They were sending 4x4 pick ups, but the roads are so bad down there, they said that after a year the truck would need replacing. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Scrapman Good answer, but no, it is to keep the equipment from leaking oil onto the ground while it is at DRMO for 3 months till it is sold. Some places will let you put drain pans under the equipment, as long as it does not fill up with water. We have been called back to DRMO to pick up an item...

Ok, I am "they"... When we turn any thing into DRMO, it has to be drained of all fluids. I have seen some beautiful equipment, turned into scrap after some guys I work with are done draining all the fluids. I have seen lines cut, holding tanks have holes punched into them, every drop of oil has...

I just found the photo. It has on it " COST 21.102" Also, on the lower door is the bride plate, Yollow circle with a 10 in it. This halftrack was found as surplused and was never repainted. I owned this halftrack back in the 1980s. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

I had the price on the side of one of my halftracks. On another forum, I asked about it. I was told this was done in the 1950s to show the soldiers the cost to replace the vehicle. On my halftrack, I think it was stenciled " COST $21000" . I am not sure if that is the amount, but you get the...

I have seen alot of photos of 90016s on the 1/2 ton dodges. To bad you are not closer, I have big tires (buckshot) on my WC1, the old owner put them on new rims from Vintage power wagon, then mounted them on the truck. I bought it from him about that time. There is about 4 miles on the tires. I...

Jason I think I have all the manuals that go to the M530C. That was my "girl" while I was in Crash Crew. I will look to see if I have any extras...I am sure I do. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

You beat me to the keyboard hndrsonj!! Now, in todays time. John at Midwest Military has (or had??) the heater kit. I e-mailed him at the end of December (Dec.26), he had 6 heater kits remaining. I called to order one on the 28 of December, he had only 4 remaining, I bought one so he was down...

Side note here, I know this is NOT the case here but I want to pass this on to the new guys to learn from my mistakes. About 20 years ago, I found two WWII 1 1/2 chevys (4x4). As I was looking at them on this lot a guy came up and asked did I want to buy them. I already had over 20 plus trucks...

IRV is dead on target, we are NOT there bread and butter. Now, look on the other side of the coin, they are buying the stuff, years down the road, they will unload it, cheaper. If it was not for the them, alot of this stuff you will need later would be sold as scrap. We have to thank a WWII...

When we would turn a Vehicle into DRMO, the vehicle went to DRMO, the records went into the trash can. The gear was also pulled off the trucks, most of it went into the scrap hoppers. One of the few, Frank USMC RET
