Mineral oil is the only brake fluid it you should use. Brakes are important on a tank. Also, a deuce airpak can be used if your goes up. I just did a SEARCH and read it in the Enquirer so it has to be the gospel... Looking forward to see you coming up I-95 towing your trailer. You should not be bothered by the hills or even snow. Also, I called Daniel and he is ready should you drop a track on this trip. He has spare sections of track and pads coming from E-Bay, thru China. Oh yea, he has a gallon of mineral too...

I went over to start it and found the batteries were dead. Although I got four new batteries here, I figured I'd just try to slave start it. I don't really have slave cables so I twisted together some coat hangers and wrapped them electrical tape---well actually I ran out of electrical tape and switched to duct tape. It's raining now so I had to come inside. Oops I left the wire out there. Oh well. Figured I'd post an update while I was inside.
I'll be running out and trying my new slave wire. It's sitting in the mud right now but I'll grab it and try to fire this baby off. WOOOHOOO can't wait to burn some track rubber. Just call me crazy cooter.

Try to tow it and pop the clutch. I know that is how they start the T-72s. Just did a SEARCH and it was in the "STAR" so it must be true.

Oh thanks ATD. I have extra wheels and track but hate to carry them cause they increase my wind resistance and weight and hence cuts me from 5 gallons per mile to 5.00001 gallons per mile. So I don't plan on carrying any. After all, its plentify and I can get just about anyone on SS to bring me those in case I throw track or separate the rubber on a road wheel. No biggie. I got my 3/8 inch socket wrench set so I'm set.

Ever think of bobbing it? That blue paint that was on the deuce the other day would look sweet on that tank! I have all kinds of ideas for you.
Don't bob your gun tube fellas. That's just not right. OUCH!!!

As a daily driver, there absolutely wonderful. Used to drive mine from the railhead to the local shooting range all the time.
Unfortunately, I had to trade for a much smaller and economic M60A3 Prius Synergy Drive hybrid something-one-or-the-other. The price of unleaded de-sulfurized politically correct diesel, used model paint, bad whiskey, sludgy turpentine, hamburger grease collected from the gas grill or any disgustingly smoky burning viscous liquid became to much for my pocket book.
BTW for your recovery make sure you have:
Is the ignition key a Ford or Chevy blank???
Do they still put MRE peanut butter in the ballistic skirts??

BTW for your recovery make sure you have:
- A large box of reticles
- A can of squelch juice
- A box of grid squares
- Air pressure gauge for your roadwheels
- Bore evacuater grease
- Left handed monkey wrench
- A right handed sledge hammer
- Tanker's Bar
- green 100MPH tape
- RTV
- Lacing wire
- 50 (not 49 or 51) feet of firing line
- a ball peen hammer (to check for soft spots in the armor)
- Indentured servant (can I say 'slave') cables
- A partridge in a pear tree

You failed the test, you can not drive home UNTIL you remember to bring along the turn signal fluid...come back in a couple weeks and retake your test.

No, I believe the right handed always worked better...NSN anyone? Anyone? Bueller, Anyone??
Don't forget a dog-bone to change any flat roadwheels. Are the roadwheels tube-type or tubeless.

Do you need a smog check for an M1? And if I do, will it fail if I turn on the smoke generator???
Man, I keep forgetting all the important stuff...don't forget to grease that tow pintle...you mean trailer hitch...no, the tow pintle...yeah, the trailer hitch...no, the tow pintle. Sorry, just having a flashback. Now back to our regularly scheduled spoof thread....
