I just bought a M103 with 2 5kw gen sets on it. The lunnett is the goose neck (bent) style. Can it be flipped so that it drops down instead of going up? If so it would help to get the trailer level so it can be brought home. Thanks for input, Wayne

I had my Tan M101A2 paint matched at Lowes and the mix for a quart was as follows: 101 - 7.5 104 - 5.5 107 - 29.5 113 - 2Y7 Valspar Exterior Flat Finish - Flat Base 4 It was just a shade lighter than the Tan CRC that was painted on the wooden side boards. It turned out great with 2 coats. I...

Mike- do you mind if I post the invite on the Pinz board? I will be there and will help out anyway that I can.

RE: tires condition Good job Walter! Are you adding to the fleet or getting rid of rthe Pinz? Wayne

Thanks to everyone for a great time. It was well worth the fuel, time, ect. to make the trip up from Orlando. The Pinz did great on the trip. Nice part of the country, friendly people, and the weather was fantastic. Hope to see most of you again in Feb. for the Florida rally! Wayne

I have purchased a nice M101A2 to tow behind my 710M. The lunnett will fit into the Swiss pintle but it does bind when in a hard turn or backing up. I was thinking that a replacement pintle from Buyers might bolt onto the 4 mounting holes but have not measured yet. Has anyone checked this...

Readyman- Congrats, the truck looks great. I have not been to Catigny in years. I went to college at NIU and made several trips there. They have quite a collection of armor. It is well worth the trip to go see it if anyone is visiting Chicago. I took the kids there the last time that I...

Chuck-- Nice 712 you got there! It is a cargo version correct? Cant wait untill I get to see it. Good luck with it. Wayne

Have you looked at the Solar Converters Autotransformer? http://www.solarconverters.com/product_frame.html This will allow you to keep a 12 volt battery charged without having a separate 12 Alt. It also will allow you to jump start your truck from a 12 volt source. This mod has been done by...

RE: Waynes "Pinz.." M101A2 and a day at the ranch. Lane, I was glad to see this post and a pic of my new trailer. I am like a kid waiting for Christmas and now your teasing me with pics! You should get a letter from me any day now. It was mailed Friday. I has the Pinz out yesterday for the...

Kenny, By trade I am an artist for a major theme park here in Orlando and could paint your truck to look like that. I make stuff look old all of the time. Send me a PM if you are serious about painting your truck(s). Did you ever change out the torque rod on the tractor? Wayne

RE: motor Try Surplus Center. http://www.surpluscenter.com I have bought many things from them and always been happy. Good company and fair prices. The have quite a selection of 24 volt stuff and hyd stuff. Good luck and let us see what you come up with. Wayne

Try SEM Color Coat. http://www.sem.ws/category.php?category_id=36 It is a vinyl paint that was designed to be used in changing the interior color of auto interiors. I work as an artist for a major theme park in Orlando and we use this all of the time. If it can hold up to use in a park with...

Tom, Have you looked at Solar Converters? http://www.solarconverters.com/product_frame.html This unit is very popular with the Pinzgauer crowd. It will allow much more flexibility than a small converter. It will allow much more current flow than any of the converters that I have found...

RE: I actually had to think about it for a couple of weeks.. Welcome VincenT to the Florida Pinzgauer crew. There are quite a few of us here. I am in the Orlando area and in the Tampa area there are at least 6 more. There are 2-3 more in metro Jax. The Tampa crew and I get together about...

RE: bow Well I have made up my mind that this is NOT a 3/4 ton. After checking out the wheels they should be 5 lug (early) or 8 lug (late) but not 6 lug. The front landing gear is very similar to a M105 my buddy has and it also has the 6 lug 20 inch wheels. Too bad as it was quite the deal...

Thanks for the info Kenny and Mike. I will try and get in touch with George. I am looking at the wheels and the are held on by 6 lug nuts. The picture is not clear enough to see what size the tires are and the owner has not replied to my question. I am trying to verify that this is a 3/4 ton...

I am about to buy a old flat bed trailer to tow behind my Pinz. It used to have 2 miliatry gen sets on it. I think that it is a M-116A1 ( no surge brakes) but I am not sure. I have seen a trailer like this that had a complete tarp covering 4 bows. Any idea where I can get the bows and tarp...

I run one of the paint shops for a major theme park here in Florida. We have been told to start to use more of the water based paints due to the amount of stuff released into the air. What we have found is that we are not getting the life out of the water based paint that we are used to. The...

RE: picture of trailer rim and hub No. Those are hub piloted and a Pinz wheel is stud piloted. The center hole on a pinz rim may or may not be in the center of the rim. To balance a wheel you must mount the wheel to an adapter. The wheel is centered by the cone shaped lug nuts. Are the...
