I’m helping out the event this year. Part of the show is military vehicle displays and a convoy. We are looking for more vehicles. Some fuel provided. You can register your vehicle here and details are there as well...
I’m restoring a WWII M10. Apparently the fuze box is almost identical. Anyone have one they don’t need? It’s the large tool box on front.

Went to start my m818 a couple days ago and it try's to turn over but won't. Looked at it closer today and here is the exact issue. IMO it has enough juice. The starter sounds strong but It's still not turning over the engine. you can watch the fan move a few inches when you hit the starter. The...
Ok, picked up a M3A4 smoke generator. Slowly learning through manuals / trial and error. Caught unit on fire briefly when I first started. Fixed bad float and tightened up gas lines. My current issues are as follows. Unit appears to overheat quickly. It will turn the housing for the ignitor...
Ok, been having some trouble with turn signals for about a year. Sometimes working great, sometimes would stop working after truck had been sitting a while and coming on after driving a bit. So , I assumed, last week flasher died. Went to friends house that had a take off. It did not work. Took...
I imagine this has been discussed but I've not found the thread so... I want to single my rear axles by deleting 4 tires only. Keep the stock tires, not super singles. I use my truck to run around and pull a halftrack on a gooseneck trailer. It's has been upgraded to a modern tranny and will...
Just picked up a M172a1 trailer in a trade. Also got a nice M818 modified with a 13 speed transmission. It will do 70 at 2000 rpm! I put a gooseneck ball on the frame below the 5th wheel to tow my gooseneck trailer with my halftrack on it. Got some 12/24 multivolt lights and I'm working on get...
Hi,
We have an upcoming WWII tactical re-enactment at a KY National Guard site March 2-4 2012. This is a closed event not open to spectators. We are looking for 2 1/2 ton and larger cargo trucks to move reneactors around the training areas on Sat March 3 only. Fuel compensation is available...
My Dad's M35 needs a new steering wheel. Cracked bad. Thought I would get him one for Christmas. I've heard the M818 will work as well and is smaller? True? If so I am looking for one, any ideas?

Ok, spent $400 trying to fix one tire that goes flat again and again. It appears to be an issue with the weld where the O ring goes (maybe). I could try and weld and clean it up but I think after all the time and effort so far a tube would be the better route. Anyone try this yet? Would need to...
Ok, I am looking for some help here. New 1998 A3 with 4000 miles gets a serious vibration at around 43 - 55 MPH. It comes and goes. If it starts you can stop it by laying off the gas. It feels like a tire bouncing up and down, maybe in the rear. Anybody have this issue or any ideas?
Thanks...
First off, no pictures until this weekend. Picked up at Ft Campbell but came out of TN National Guard in Nashville where we previewed it. First EUC came trough in 8 working days. Serial number is 504100 range and have found several dates around May 1998. Engine is dated 1993 though. Came with a...

We need you to attend! The site is amazing. Thousands of acres with huge rolling fields they burn off each year. 120 miles of roads. Clean, new...
Ok,
New guiy questions. Bought the M35A3 last Friday. I am trying to apply for the SF97. Where do I find the year and Vin#? There was a 6 didgt serial # on the window. The auction does not state the year at all. Also is the body style a "truck"?
Thanks
Robert
My Dad got a M35A3 at auction yesterday. The engine looks like it has never been used, it only has 300 hours on the guage but the engine looks like it has 0 hours. Its painted CAT yellow. A replacement since being over hauled? I have yet to see another yellow one.
