So I just bought my first M915A1. Wow. My first problem was with the lights. All fixed now. Second problem is the tachograph. The TM says not to drive without a chart in the tachograph. Normally I can find anything on Google, not this time. Who can help me find a package of charts? The TM lists...

So..... The title pretty much says it.... My M1009 front brakes are dragging. After 10 miles they are warm, after 25 miles they are way too hot to touch. And smelly! First I replaced the pads, no improvement. I did not replace the rotors, they look almost new. Then I replaced both front...

So, is Sarge crazy? See the M1030 thread and you decide. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=24166 To cut a long story short, I just bought an M1030 USMC motorcycle from another SS member, M1028A1ShelterCarrier. I’m flying to Reno next Friday and catching a bus...

Okay guys, I've used the search function, I've consulted TM9-2320-242-34P. The 34P lists the 3 toggle switches (wipers & bilge pump) as P/N MS39061-1 and FSN 5930-00-296-6318 (Figure 57 item 2) So here is the big question! Anybody have any idea where I can buy 3 of these switches? Heck, while...

Well, I'm kind of confused (nothing new there) about exactly where I should post this, so here it is. If this is the wrong place, oh well, better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission. I just posted this on the 715 zone, but I know this is a wider audience, are you ready? Here we go! Okay...

So Sarge found a good deal on 6 Gama Goat tires on rims. A fellow SS member sold me the almost new tires located in Dyersburg Tennessee. I live very near to Austin, Texas. He was working a deal with a shipping company (HIT) in Dyersburg, but the deal just fell through due to high diesel prices...

So, this is a weird parts request. I’m looking for M-series headlight parts. All I need are the 3 wires on the back of the sealed beam headlights. They are about 8 inches long and are marked with metal clamps, 17, 18 and 91. I do not need the actual glass part of the headlight. I know that all...

I need a deuce radiator. I just blew my fourth take-out. I do put some miles on my deuce, but not excessive. I think that perhaps one reason I go through so many radiators is because the take-outs are mostly 30 to 40 years old. Does anyone know where I can get a new one? I understand that I may...

Well boys, this morning Sarge crashed his motorcycle. Here is the story……. I have started to ride my M1030 (Kawasaki KLR650) to the Ranch instead of my Suburban in order to save gas. Instead of taking my normal route to the Ranch, I thought a change of scenery would be pleasant. I took a narrow...

Preface: This is Sarge’s first really long post on Steel Soldier’s. Those of you who read my account of Hurricane Katrina know that I tend to talk a lot. If you are not interested, well just enjoy the photo’s. Tis a short story about painting my M820.

Okay guys, in the field of military radio's, I am a dunce. That bears repeating, I am a dunce. So, recently I bought an M561 Gama Goat with an S250 in the back. The inside of the S250 contained some radio equipment. I have attached a photo, there appears to be two pieces of US equipment and one...

Well, I really did try to search the SS site to find the answer to this one but to no avail. One of my trucks has Bosch headlamp assemblies with 24 volt 75/70 watt H4 bulbs in it. They are incredibly brighter than the headlamps on my deuce or 5-ton. I was fiddling about with the H4 assembly and...

test, do not panic

So, I was on E-Bay a couple of days ago and saw this Gamagoat. It was stunning! Without too much prior planning I bid on it and won. Oh Crap! Did I mention it was stunning. So, anyhoo, it is in Phoenix and I am in Austin. I would very much like my Gamagoat to join me in Austin. Any advice or...
