Well, just got some pics from the 2009 work weekend on the USS Torsk submarine in Baltimore. Once a year, vets from all over the country descend on the Torsk to lend a hand restoring this old boat, from stem to stern. I was only able to attend on Sat, Oct. 3rd, but was happy to show up. I...

Little vehicle with a lot of punch. Still looks like a military SmartCar to me. :-D

Very nice looking M37, I love the orange paint job, it actually looks good on it. Now enough of that, get some 24087 and get spraying!

There was one on American Loggers like that. NDT has it right. I remember reading that after WWII all sorts of tanks were surplussed out for different purposes, from light to heavy tanks. Most were hacked up for industrial use, farming tractors, skidders. Someone told me it's very rare to...

Run a deuce over it and call it "Orange Crush."

Ding ding ding! Looks like we have a winner in the distance department! PM me with the details, cost, when exactly you'll be here, etc. timntrucks, if I was you, I'd snag that deal. $550 for a complete laundry trailer is highway robbery - for the seller! With the genset on that puppy and...

Just a side question, Bjorn - why are you considering buying a replacement engine, when the current deuce engine works and needs repair? You're quite the mechanical guru - just curious why you have already seemed to select replacement over repair.

I see a M43 ambulance and a J-10-grilled M37 in the background in one pic. Are those yours Bjorn? Any plans for them?

They were there around 9:30am Saturday morning, then by 9:45 they were gone. Seems odd to be pulled on a Saturday morning. No ideas why

Ha ha - not even a couple months in it's lifespan and already it's missing its front shackles. Makes a HMMWV look small, holy crap....:shock:

If anyone got one of the 5-ton laundry trailers in the past year that had any of the equipment on it, I am looking for a couple units off of it, more specifically the hot water heater, and the water pump. They must be in working order. The trailer I got earlier this year had junker units on...

We need pics of those trucks, especially the M125! They are getting rare as hen's teeth, and with as few as are left, it's important to find out where the survivors are. nopics

Now if only our favorite M656-series owner Bjorn would put those tires of his tractor..... Sorry Bjorn, but cheap originals just aren't out there. Gotta complete the truck with some newer, and safer rubber....:-D

green_gator picked mine up this morning, said it was new in the box. YAY! Many thanks, Walter!

I like it, Frodo - maybe a little smaller....after all, we don't want too much "no drama" either! :)

I miss FT, he was a good guy, but da rulez are da rulez. Break them once, shame on you don't do it again. Break them constantly - GO AWAY.

Is there a military issue test rig for testing standard handsets, such as the M80, H189, and H250? Seems to me the only way to test handsets I have now requires two people, two radios, and they are actually broadcasting to see if they can hear each other. There must be a simpler way to hook...

If you want to be a serious user of the PRC-25/77 family of backpack radios, I really recommend the power adapters that Brooke Clarke makes. They allow you to use D cell batteries, even rechargeable ones, so that you never have to rely on a questionable supply of the magnesium batteries which...

KICK A$$ !! Just got a PM from NewMVGuy, seems our display and nickd's mule made the cover of this month's MTA newsletter. Glad they liked it enough to put it on the cover! http://www.mtaofnj.org/newsletter/year_2009/nl_1009.pdf

That's not unusual - lots of scrapyards let things sit around outside. From our perspective, it's their fault. From their perspective, it's ours - they didn't have the inside room to keep it all, and if it really was worth it's weight in gold, we would've bought it long ago. That's one of...
