plywood base? .. no wood should extend beyond the angle-iron seat frame

Had one blow under a pickup hood "luckily".. The next time one blew was on an old tractor when I pulled the starting rod while standing beside it as I had done a thousand times before... The battery was belly-high thus I wore liquid head to toe, luckily I had glasses on... Was 40 feet from my...

Just punt the ball and get the stress over with :p

I can understand the bilge pump switch being needed during and after fording , but do you use the "anchor" button in case of brake failure ? Just curious :p

ummm,, that stenciling comes a little too late .. It's already on your toes when you get to read it :ROFLMAO: ... and yes, i have been 'nicked" just a whisker a time or two when pulling them out alone , even with an imminent reminder in my head :p And a reminder on the topside like yours...

BTW, there aren't many "sirs" on here , and I'm not one of them ;)

so many good ones !! .. tough to choose but I still have a favorite little bugger in the running ;)

the first (and last) time i ever saw the interior of an M886 was in 1983 or 84 , volunteer mock casualty during a late-night field exercise for the armored division's MASH ... I was loaded onto the top rack.. The truck rocked and rolled and bobbed blackout through the woods for a good 3/4-hour...

thanks for the reminder, it's time for my renewal as well :D

Since the wiring systems on all the "M-series" military trucks are of the same numbering system and AWG size, (CUCV-types aside), I had a situation before the days of multi-volt LED's when I first paired an M818 with a civilian 48ft trailer loaded with numerous 12V lights.. (easily modified to...

It's working for me... You click on the date circles , in my case I am looking at 1940-1948 period and got RAF and USAAF aerial photos. Did you select "orthophoto" ? I am using the site in German , i did not look for a different language selection .. Also, while in photo mode, if you zoom in...

Even back in the army days, sometimes the shifter linkage wasn't adjusted correctly after a changeout ... I had situations where the lever had to slap the seat frame hard to get it into Hi range, other times the seat frame wouldn't let the lever travel far enough, and other times when tight to...

looked like dirt to me, you must have better eyes ! I am stubborn and have refused bi-focals and a magnifying glass for years now :D thanks for the link ! will check it out .. the age-progression will be cool .. I know enough of the language to be able to negotiate the website (and get my...

I concur 100% with NDT, and you should stay with the 4-prong resistor and try the new kit as long as the resistor tests good.. I have had one side of them go bad, but never both sides at once.. Each side of the 4-prong resistor has a different resistance value, IIRC, thus important to respect...

The end of mud season brings the obligatory rut removal day .. I don't put wear on the dozer undercarriage when an easy backdrag (usually) works ! ;) Murphy's Law likes the month of March.. It has been in the 40's and decent for a couple weeks now and sap is running nicely.. So you see a...

you only imagined what you saw... At the count of three, you will wake up and remember nothing :D

in the process of everything, did you lose a woodruff key(s) in the pto driveshaft? If so, the shaft might appear to spin but be slipping the second you move the hoist lever .. That would also explain the gradual worsening of the situation.. It's one of the possibilities, look at the easiest...

where's your sense of fun and adventure ? :LOL: I had one hanging on the back wall of the "storefront" at my shop .. Once in awhile I'd get a customer whose eyes would go wide 🤪

A transfer switch has to be sized no less than the rated amperage of the utility service .. It doesn't matter if the draw on the genny and genny size is less.. In most cases you will have to get the utility involved to pull the meter unless you are a service tech with your own meter seals...

I had to do the whole pedal set/A-frame with a 70's plymouth when I swapped in a 4-banger. It was a PITA to R/R it... So you can imagine I was very happy to discover I didn't have to do that with the M880 , the capability to add the clutch pedal was already there! :D On the M880, I supported...
