The real mystery left to solve is what it was used for. I’ll save that one for a rainy day.

I researched the number 11640461. The last number isn’t very clear, so I’m guessing it’s a 1. Anyway, that part number crosses over to stock number 5120001067598. That stock number indicates that it is part of a 2 ton jack. I doubt it was made for the M35 but it could have been picked up along...

Are those tires 11.00 x 20’s?

Yes they do. It wasn’t there back in ‘86. One of these days I’ll stop by there and visit. Now that everything is no longer shut down, hopefully we’ll get to see it next summer.

That’s cool! I was stationed at Hill AFB back in 1986. I was in a different squadron, however.

Nice setup! Thanks for the pics! Question, your door has the 388th Fighter Wing out of Hill AFB. Any particular reason for this?

I use a sand blasting media that Menard’s sells. It not very expensive and it strips the paint, rust and everything else that sticks to metal. The sand blaster cabinet was sitting in a drive way with a for sale sign on it. $100.00 got a complete system.

I lucked out and got a top of the line sand blasting cabinet. I can put most parts I can remove from the trucks. I also have a small Craftsman portable blaster. What a mess! I cleaned three parts and stopped. I’m going to come up with a better idea. I’m leaning towards a wooden framed structure...

That is a fantastic idea! Where did you find it?

Hi, looked at your mystery bracket but I need a clarification on one of the pictures. Do the two parts I have marked with arrows align with each other? Is there a hole through the beam that links these two parts?

Give me a couple days to get them opened up and I’ll post some. Anything in particular you want to see?

Nice! I’ve got a bunch of antique tools. About half of which are family heirlooms. There’s tools that date back to the 1850’s. Dad said there were all the tools needed to build a house... the old fashioned way.

TM? We’re supposed to use TM’s? Shucks, I was doing the old tab a in slot b.

I’m also looking for bits and pieces of the hot water heater. I’ve got a complete set of parts set in excellent condition. Now to get them installed...

My wife and I are both helicopter Crew Chiefs. Changing oil, replacing filters, greasing zerk fittings, changing rotor blades, engines, gearboxes... finding a wife who’s as qualified as she is, is nye on impossible. Count your blessings for finding someone who’s got the green disease and is...

I looked up the crane version of the CCKW and it normally had a 4 ton Quick Way crane version. I’d guess there may be a section on these trucks in David Doyle’s CCKW book. I’ve only seen one of these trucks. Just off I-84 near Farewell Bend. Pics below. If someone gets to look at it, please let...

We we used to say we had gremlins on our UH-1N’s. For that matter, they were in CHARGE-53’s, HH-53’s, HH-3’s, HH-60’s, etc. our solution was multi fold: first, Holy water. Use it copiously. Next, go to KFC and get the big bucket of chicken; flavor is irrelevant. Upon consuming said chicken...

I don’t know if there’s a video on YouTube but when I went to tech school in the Marine Corps, one of the first things I learned was how to properly use safety wire. You couldn’t advance through that section of training until you did it correctly using the proper size wire: .020, .032 and I...

Nice! Can you tell me where you got them? I have two of those tires but don’t know where I can get more. I’m in Laramie County.

Im going to have to break down and buy some sets. Doggone weasel has been using my M35’s cabs as it’s private toilet :rant:
