    Bill, John here, I have the cooking recipes for large number of troops. You can look through them when you and Kyle come down. Got you canopies back, should be good to go. Talk to you soon. John

    MKT Pics Mark your concern is a legitimate one. But I am betting your MKT is going to be almost 100% complete. Looking forward hearing the details of the recovery. John

    mkcoen, I just came in from working on my old MKT 85. Going to give it the best cleaning I can with my power washer. Brutal day in North Jersey today, almost 96, but humid as ****, feels like is over a 100. Your trailer is looking good, nice to find MBU's with so little time on the clock...

    Guys, Not 100% sure, but those latches look like the older style. Then newer ones are the "Z" latches. Nice trailer though, good luck with it. Sounds like you can get MBU's cheaper out there, than on the East Coast. Good luck. John

    mkcohen, Welcome back. I was looking at that unit, You got a good deal on that one. If that was on the East Coast, it would have cost someone 3 times as much. Congrats! John

    Mark, Like I said I am sorry to hear about you selling the MKT. I did not know of your health issues, I hope you are doing well. I know how much work the MKT's are and I understand. I give you a lot of credit to actually do the work on the trailer and get it fully operational. Than use it...

    Mark , The display at your event looked really nice. Lots of armor from the looks of it. Sounds like you guys really had a nice time. Weather looked great also. Your power converter platform looks real good. We are going to put 2 griddles in my original MKT -85 for the first time on...

    Guys, Well a long day of dirty cleaning, scraping, sanding, grinding, and than some EP Priming. Thankfully, the weather in the Northeast today was gorgeous for working outside. Perfect temp for painting, no wind and clear blue sky. Tomorrow there will be more of the same. Than rain over...

    MKCoen, Wish I could find a platform for the power converter! Proably end up making one? Nice find. Mike, Thanks, the cleaning operation worked out well. Just have to do the upgrade best I can now. Hopefully, I can do as nice a job as Mark. As far as the covers go, they are nylon and...

    Working on the MKT

    MKcoen, Pretty funny about the birds nest. I had mice nesting in my "new" MKT-85. So I got out the power washer and dismantled the whole trailer. Really is a like new trailer, not used very much, but missing the M59's and the ice chest. Going to do the upgrade like you have been doing. This...

    mkcoe, Looks really good. Do you know if Mike has more of those NOS pigtails laying around? I have to do the same thing on an Air Force MKT-85. I guess it was a M2A Gas burner equipped trailer. Thanks for posting the pics of the crossover and pigtail upgrade, nice for reference. John

    Mkcoen, Nice job, really looks good. You know what kind of effort was made to get under there and install the cable. Still can't under stand why they take out the "classified, and theat to national security" cable in the first place! Talk about a waste of man hours. Anyways, good work...
