Wait - I have a brainblast! What are the pin sizes for those heavy towbar adapters? If it's 1-3/4", the towbars may be medium towbars meant to work with heavy feet. Possible?
Fertilizer, I guess. I think McDonalds takes the burnt pieces of french fries outta the used fryer oil and flattens them out to make hash browns outta them.
I did see one recently-arrived heavy towbar at Colemans on Friday. Had the heavy feet too, but I didn't think there would be anyone here who would need one, so I left it there.
Some of you must feel that I am a rep of Coleman's Surplus or something, with all the trips I make there, and all the pictures I take. Well, I'm not, but I DO like cruising the yard. What's left of it, anyways. There are some interesting things there, and as long as ya'll want me to keep...
There are, and sometimes differ between the M-series vehicles. I have been told that the ones for my M725 and the rest of the M715 series are a different grade than the ones used on the M151, although the materials are essentially the same, along the the sizes and the NSN numbers. I have two...
I didn't ask. Could be expensive. I'll go back and check on it and see what they say when they are back open on Monday. If the price is fair to good, I'll buy a few to play with. If the price is $200 or more apiece, I'll pass.
AMG - are you certain this is what the M123 uses? Got a pic...
jdobyns and myself stopped at Colemans PA for a little junkyard crawling the other day. Found a few towbars that we thought were medium towbars, and we jumped for joy! But upon looking at them, there were a few things not right. Same basic size and weight of a non-entended medium towbar, same...
RE: Patches
I have finally decided I am going to call my M725 "Gumby", affectionately of course. Even after I repaint it. If you don't know why I'm calling it Gumby, check out the pic in the Motor Pool section. Here's the link...
Cool - but now we need pics of you hitting the water at 40mph to get those side-splashing geysers coming up from your front tires! We'd put that on the SS homepage!
It also pays from a safety/reliability perspective to upgrade to the solid state turn signal kits, as they are sealed from the elements and pre-wired, even in vehicles that were not originally intended for them. My M725 is going to be upgraded to the solid state, it had originally had the goofy...
400 gallons of water weighs about 3350 pounds. Not including the tank and trailer weight. Seems a lot for the small tires and axle - that wheel bearing has got to be SCREAMING when it's loaded...
In an online search, I was able to come up with almost nothing on the MRC-123. Only note I found was that it exists, not much else. Probably one of the more rare units.
