    Chillicothe OH VA Parade

    The annual Veteran's Day Parade is scheduled for 1:00 on Sunday the 11th. This is a parade on the Veterans Hospital grounds. We circle the grounds for the patients to see. It is the smallest parade I participate in each year, but probably the most worthwhile. There will be some displays set...

    Debt of Gratitide

    I owe a special debt of gratitude to RUSS132 from Kelley's Island. While visiting Port Clinton, I thought I would respond to one his postings about having some cots for sale. We exchanged several e-mails, and he offered me an outstanding deal. Unfortunately I was driving my wife's car and simply...

    NE Penn to Ohio

    Anyone from the NE PA area heading to any upcoming events in Ohio or close by? I'm loooking for a ride for some bows and associated hardware for my 1008. It's over 9 hours each way for me. I thought I might catch someone coming to Findley, Haspin, or any other recovery heading my direction.

    Added a M1008

    I added a M1008 yesterday. I’ve been looking for a replacement pick-up for a couple years, since I sold my utility truck and my ranger. I don’t really need a utility truck anymore, just a truck to do normal chores and commute the 15 miles to work in. The M1008 seemed like a logical choice. I’ve...

    M-332 Question

    I'm wondering about the attachment rings welded through the trailer sides. One of my trailers has them the other two do not. Was there a different attachment sling for these? They all have the attachment points in the bottom but apparently not the sides. I'm an old signal corp guy, we didn't...

    A mans gotta do; what a mans gotta do

    I fired up the deuce to get a couple loads of gravel for the driveway. I was all loaded up and started to shift to reverse to back away from the loader and return to the scales when the shifter snapped off in my hand. Fortunately an old plumber always has his pipe with him - and trusty...

    Deuce Starter Solenoid

    Has anyone ever disassembled the solenoid to see what makes it tick - or in my case not tick? Mine worked fine up till the last cold spell. I went out one snowy day with the grandson, pushed the button and nothing happened. I attributed it to a cold relay, waited for a warm spell then tried...

    Successful recovery Part II

    I arrived at Dayton at 0900 to recover my "new" m105a2. Very cold and windy, snow blowing around making it worse. The crew there got me logged in, hooked up, and headed out in record time. A very quick walk a-round and back on the road. Looks good to me, only need to unstick the landing gear and...

    I had an appointment to pick up my "new" deuce this morning at Columbus DSCC. With my son along to provide the chase vehicle and tool box we headed out.

    Spen Trailer??

    I can't figure this trailer out. I think it might have been a spen at some point, maybe a water trailer? Anyone know how to date by axle configuration? The guy I bought it from had no info about it. I would like to title it with the correct year or at least close.
