A surplus store near me has a few medical oxygen cylinders, the little small ones with the pin-type valve instead of the standard "water faucet" looking valve. These were oxygen tanks that came from the military in the 1960s and 1970s for use on ambulances. I think they are empty, but they...

Repair parts are out there, but you have to check primarily with guys who deal in armored vehicle parts. David Yamulla comes to mind. Most of the parts are not off-the-shelf items, like Cummins engine parts are.

It would behoove you to remind the gentleman that if it's on his property, and not the VFW's, some would consider that to be possession of stolen property. For anyone who has the contact number, it might be a good thing, to save the field piece from rotting away in his field, to contact the...

IF IT BELONGS TO THE VFW - it belongs to Uncle Sam. Don't touch it with a 10-foot pole.

There are a number of different motor-pool approved solutions to the loose mirror. Here they are.

From the most recent issue of Four Wheeler.

I had an idea while I was tinkering around with finding dealers for ALICE pack parts I needed recently - why not have a place on the website with a directory or map of surplus dealers, stores, mail order places, MV dealerships, etc., that could be added to by anyone? It used to be that every...

Worst case scenario you can fabricate it, it's all flat pieces and channels so it's not impossible....

Saw this on CL, trailer mounted but it sure doesn't look like a MEP-003. Perhaps a gas unit? This looks 1960s era, I'm unfamiliar with gensets that old....

DH, with his KY jelly covered hands, flew like greased lightning and beat me typing the correct answer.

Continental AV1790, 12-cylinder air-cooled, used in the earlier M48 and M60 series Patton tanks of the 1960s prior to their replacement with modern diesel power packs. Here's a pic of the same engine above, as restored by the American Armored Foundation Tank Museum (pic from Wikipedia)...

Nice! I'm gonna do that to the deuce steering wheel, in the summer time it gets real slippery with sweat and humidity. This looks just the trick....

Wish I knew - I didn't take the pic, I just found it on them internets a while back.

Saw this on CL in my area. Is this a M107 or M149 water tank trailer? surplus water trailer

6-meter ham bands are 50.0 - 54.0 MHz, so you can tune around and listen for someone on those frequencies as well. 50.0 to 50.1 is CW only (Morse code) so you might be lucky and hear some dots and dashes on those. Be sure you have a good battery or a AM-2060 amplifier to power your rig....

Found the pic - you can't see the lifting bars, but you get the picture. Chinook carrying trucks.

I have heard that there were a choice few M38 jeeps (not A1s) that had Ramsey-made PTO winches installed at the factory, along with a dual-output T-case to go along with it. Anyone have pics or information about this item?

Only my deuces, trailers, and the M37 are SAE size only. My LMTV, according to the manual, has a mix, and the Durango I have as a daily driver has a mix. Apparently, regardless of the "system's" desire to change to metric only, they haven't as of yet. I have the tools to use both, but the...
