    That sounds like a neat trick. IF it would work.

    309th Aerospace Maintenance And Regeneration Group

    It looks like a mini-Hercules. It must be the same manufacturer.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    It's a rolling playground. Looks like a whole lot of fun!

    WW2 M26a1 tank retriever/transporter ???

    You know your military never does anything inadvisably without thoroughly considering EVERY possible angle. The reason the pin was designed like that was so at minimum TWO would be needed to pull it, so they could ask each other first: - "Is this a good idea?"

    Identify this German WWII vehicle

    Excellent "bird-dogging", german m1008! it's an expression; meaning doing the homework/ doing the investigation. Check out (what I think is) the spot-light on that car; it looks pretty progressive for that era. That seems unusual, doesn't it?

    tim292stro's M1009 (formerly math1960's)

    I'm sorry you had that incident and glad there were no injuries. I can't tell you the number of times I look in my rear-view mirror and say to myself in those kinds of situations (ALL kinds of stop-and-go here around D.C.): - "I sure hope that clown is going to stop"

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    You need to steam clean the block first: - The site doesn't allow any dirty pictures.

    WW2 M26a1 tank retriever/transporter ???

    I believe the M19 has been removed from inventory. But maybe some of the old timers around here can tell you a story or two. I recall hearing that the pin was REAL hard to pull: - I think the setting was 55 foot-pounds (74.57 joules) - The idea was you wanted to be certain of intended use...

    Been on here a few years thought I'd finally introduce myself

    If you all pull it off, please put up some pics for us "armchair" warriors out here. Those would be sweet.

    WW2 M26a1 tank retriever/transporter ???

    Ah, yes the M65 Atomic Cannon. I think that came just before the M19 Atomic Grenade which was developed a year or two later. It's been a while since I saw the TM for the M19, but if I remember right it had two special criteria: - The delay in the fuse was a good bit longer than a conventional...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    They don't look like much, but if you're not in a hurry, these little guys do an EXCELLENT job:

    Are you thinking the magnetic backing is better than adhesive; maybe for cleaning, is that your thinking?

    Wow. Killer paint job on the ammo box. [thumbzup]

    "How to get a HET in life..." - M1070 Acquisition thread

    I was going to say. That picture had me wondering! I've been ALL over Florida, from one end to the other. I mean you know, +/-. I was thinking those trees and that clay, Florida!? I never saw any woods in the State anywhere with trees or soils like THAT.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Ohhh, I get it now, capice: - The block on the truck (dozer?) cracked under load from attempting extraction of a TUB grinder. When I read "grinder" I was thinking like an ANGLE grinder and the whole picture in my mind was fuzzy (not the first time; DOH!)

    I don't know what went down, but there has to be a good story behind all this. :beer:
