    Buddy wants a UNIMOG

    Problem with the 404s is that they are all gasoline engines, and that is not what he wants. I know the gearing is low in Unimogs, and he is willing to swap gears out to get his precious 65mph he wants, but the diesel engine is a MUST HAVE. Bill - thanks for the heads up. Last time I was a...

    M35 with some other military metal

    I believe that airplane was redesignated the F-107 Sea Dart after 1962, when the Armed Forces decided to standardize a lot of the nomenclature of the aircraft and vehicles they used. The letters and numbers were starting to get confusing.

    TM 9-8022 back from re-binding

    Real fine job on that, panzerbob! In fact, that's a great idea on the laminating a manual cover and binding it. I have a few laying around that are in sad shape, I guess I'm gonna have to get my butt down to Office Max to save them!

    Interested in offroading in Virginia?

    Well, I checked with the ranger yesterday, and offroading in that area of the park is permitted for larger vehicles such as deuces, 5-tons, etc. However, she did let me know that Rocky Run OHV area is too tight for even Jeeps, it was designed for ATVs and the like. She recommended Long Run...

    German "Karl" 600mm self propelled mortar

    I can confirm that one of the Karl mortars is in the Kubinka Tank Museum in Kubinka, Russia. As for the ones captured by the US, I cannot confirm where either of them are. If they still exist, bet that one is in the hands of the Patton Armor Museum in Radcliff, KY, the other in the Army...

    Mil. Spec. Cannon plugs

    Yes! That would be much helpful for ham radio people like myself. I have spare cannon connectors in all sorts of sizes, pick them up at hamfests whenever I get a chance.

    David Ahl's M37 Restoration Guide

    I have already read it, my buddy ShieldWolf has a copy near me. Just wanted one for my bookshelf. I'll say it was a good read for a good quality resto, maybe not one I'd follow if you were into factory restorations and the like. Lots of good information in it. My beef with his restoration is...

    M274 engine rebuilding services?

    Anyone know if there is a company that rebuilds the M274 mule engines? I have seen new 2A032 engines go for $650 rebuilt in crate from Saturn, but not sure if the genset engine is the same as the mule engine, despite the 2A032 nomenclature similarity. Reason I am asking is I found a source of...

    David Ahl's M37 Restoration Guide

    I shoulda bought one of these when I had the chance - even though I don't have an M37, I might in the future. And used copies are selling for $135???? Are they nuts? I know it's probably a great text, but that's WAY more cash than I am willing to pay for a used book. Any idea if this will be...

    Finally! M66 ring mount installed (with pics)

    Great job! The pics show the work progress really well. I've been thinking about a ring mount on my keeper deuce when I get it. Great to know there are several threads on SS dealing with M66 installation to make my job easier if I choose to go that route.

    Bridge plate cover?

    Re: RE: Re: RE: Bridge plate cover? You caught me - but that comment was being made about a 8x8 that was painted black, had chrome everywhere, and was turned into a party boat if I remember correctly. I really like yours restored to original. Looks bad a$$!

    M142 Cradle and M66 Gun Ring

    David 4x4 - we hate you. We all hate you very much. :) Joe - do you happen to make ONLY the M60 dummy receiver? I have a parts kit ready to build up on a dummy receiver, sent an email to IRAC and they said they were out of stock.

    HELP! MadDawg has a credit card and can't stop bidding!

    They are pre- and post-Vietnam, AND you are a step child. :) Seriously, though, Uncle Sam bought tons of these ammo trailers, a lot got sent to Vietnam and other hot spots. I've seen them towed behind deuces and M113s as well. Perhaps your unit just never got issued those trailers? Not...
