    Replacement knob / attachment for "88-21902" meter selector?

    Hello All, The "88-21902" switch on one of the machines on my trailer has been sheared off. I was actually able to take the front of the switch off, use some vice-grips, and turn it so that it is in a matching single-phase position (using the other machine for a comparison), but does anyone know...

    New 802a's.... Few Qs. Advise on load test? Anyone with equipment in central NC?

    I bought my first set of 802as out of Bragg area and plan on getting them both fixed up (one for me, trailer and one for a friend). One starts up and runs, no problems! I threw some batteries, new oil, filter, and a little extra coolant in and it seems happy as can be, with the exception of...

    Nissan L28E engine?

    Hello all, I've had my truck for about 9 years and I've hated the stock engine the entire time. If (and it is a big if) I have it running well, my passenger could still get out and race me to the top of the hills around here. I'd love to do the old 4BT swap, but I have been keeping an eye out...

    My smallest MV yet! 1953 M38A1

    Just added an M38A1 to my modest collection. Right now, the plan is to just get it operating well on the road (and off), have some fun with it, and start collecting the parts to do a nice restoration down the road. From what I can gather, this is a USMC truck? The plates read Ord., but from...

    1943 M5 Generator

    Hey all, I picked this up over the weekend! I'm not sure how I did on it as far as price goes, I couldn't really find any others online, but it seems very complete! It even has a wrench that appears to have gone with it? and the manual crank. I did a little research on them and turned up some...

    Someone near NC with a BRDM2 or similar to drive?

    Hey all, I'm still doing a lot of research into buying a BRDM2. I'm pretty set on it, and I think I should be able to work out all of the details of the import. That being said, my main concern is that I really have no experience around these, and I have never been able to sit in or drive one...

    Any BRDM2s or OT65s near (Durham) North Carolina?

    Hello again, Forgive me if I should have posted this in my other BRDM2 thread, but it seemed more effective to separate the two. I'm thinking of purchasing once based on the photos and videos I have seen of these vehicles....but I have absolutely no hands on experience with them. Does anyone...

    Purchasing and Importing a BRDM2

    Hello everyone! I've wanted an armored vehicle for a long time... I spend a lot of time on the water, so an amphibious vehicle is just that much cooler to me. I've been doing a lot of research on purchasing and importing Eastern Block vehicles but I would like some advice from people who...

    Best US trailer for Pinz?

    Hey all, looking to put a trailer on my 710. What would the best size trailer be? It could be a stake bed type, so long as I can throw crap on or in it. Is a 101 the right size? Would a 105 be way too big? Thanks!

    First fab job (bolt on light mount)

    I made this lightbar to fit on my Pinz. Totally bolt on using the mounting spots on the windshield (whatever they are for...). Just used some angle iron, flat stock, square tube and a little bit of paint. I replaced the original windshield bolts with slightly longer stainless steel bolts + star...

    Does anyone have access to a ship-breaking yard or similar?

    Hello all, this is a rather odd request- but does anyone work in...or have access or info on a ship-breaking yard? Closer to the east coast the better. I'm currently working on a project that is taking away time from my M37 so I want to get it done and get back to parading around :-D I'm...

    M7 Priest- Worth while?

    So, before I was into military vehicles, I had the opportunity (and passed it by as a crazy idea) to buy an M7 Priest. (maybe m7b, i have no idea.) I'm trying to track down the vehicle again. It had a bit of rot, im sure didn't run, no gun, or anything like that- but the basic tank was there...

    Hello, I have casually browsed the site before but finally decided to register. My name is Marcus, and I am addicted :roll::-D. I have a 1951 M37 - Restored, and looking to get something bigger as well.
