    MEP-831 Training presentation with schematics

    This is a copy of the lesson used at the schoolhouse for generator mechanics on the 831, it explains a lot of how it operates. I am sorting through lots of manuals I have on hard drives, so more to come. I am uploading to the manual section too, but figured most people won't see a new listing...

    Going through my old hard drives and finding manuals and files- 4L80 info paper

    I will share these as I sort them, I have several hard drovers and a few dozen thumb drives with various files from all sorts of sources from before I retired from the USAR. I have a ton of stuff to sort... Here is the first one, a nice paper on the 4L80

    Pioneer tool sources

    Back when I had hundreds of NOS pioneer tool racks (all gone now) I did the research to cross NSN's to civilian manufacturers and did test fitments to get sources of the right tools for my customers. Here is what I found, so it may save everyone some headaches searching: Axe: Premium quality is...

    Found a 1954 MB-2 Crash Truck today

    At least I am 99% certain that is what I found- the bed has been hacked up a bit. The owner is going to drag it out of the briars for me in a few days so I can get a better look.

    Swiss Model 1905 Bicycles

    The Swiss Model MO-05 (Model of 1905) Bicycles were made from 1905 to 1993 virtually unchanged, and stayed in Swiss Army service until 2001 when the Bicycle Infantry was disbanded. The bikes are heavy at over 50 pounds, but ride really smoothly. They feature a really neat rear drum brake...

    Has anyone installed an electric brake cutoff for reversing on their surge brakes?

    I saw this when looking for stuff for my electric conversion for my 105: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LOZDN6I/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00LOZDN6I&linkCode=as2&tag=oldgrossurstu-20&linkId=KGPALMTZMZDRQ6H4 Has anyone used one? Thinking of one for my M416A1.

    Thinking about a NC mountains rally

    Since the good folks from Durhamtown have a 3000 acre facility up here now... http://www.durhamtowntellico.com/ The trails will be a lot more extreme than the GA rally, but some should be doable for our stuff.

    Convert M105, M200 or other air over hydraulic brake trailer to electric how-to

    I had a lot of folks asking for details on my conversion on my 105 at the GA rally, and while it is not done yet I have it hooked up and working. I am starting this now and will update as I go with what I change. I will put links to anything I use to make it easy to find, and am going to write...

    Browsing GL I saw the exact same trailer I towed as a young PFC

    Not the same model trailer, but the exact same M105 I towed and slept in! So I bought it! Since it has sentimental value to me I am going to build it into something I will use- first step was a lunette flip and bolster trailer tires and wheels.

    M38A1 into Israeli colors

    I got this one a few years ago, and it was changed enough to never be a perfect restoration, so I am doing it in IDF Six Days War markings. Rough paint got done today.

    NO 7 Hoist Set from Terry MS to NC or GA Rally

    In a fit of idiocy I bought a Number 7 Wrecker set on eBay- I thought I had a ride for it but that just fell through. Anyone passing by Terry MS soon who can bring it east, or anyone close planning to come to the GA rally who can bring it?

    Desert Tan Canvas

    Today I stumbled on a desert tan canvas cargo cover and end curtains. I have seen lots of tan vinyl, but this is the first cover I have seen in canvas in anything but OD. Has anyone seen these before, and any clue when they date from? I am guessing they are Desert Storm era from when the...

    1997 M1030 saved

    Found at a local municipal auction, evidently the PD got it surplus and just let it sit. Turns over and fires on ether, but not without so it needs a carb rebuild. Front master cyl is shot needs tires, chain is rusty. It is a late model for sure, has the IR headlight with no blackout lights...

    HMMWV pioneer rack on CUCV brushguard

    I have always wondered how well it would work- they strap on quite nice! I am going to remove the 2 clamps used on the HMMWV as they are not needed for this. The two bars on top sit on top of the brushguard and I strap it on.
