    Steel Soldiers 20th Anniversary Logo Contest!!!

    These are all very nice, I'd buy any of them! My only suggestion would be (as noted above) to lighten the lettering; instead of Black, how about a lighter color so that they are easier to read (such as "STEEL SOLDIERS" lettering)? A lighter beige or tan with black outline would stand out well...

    M60 repair

    Since it's a former USMC tank, were there any markings or insignia on it? I was a tanker in the 1st Tank Battalion (Camp Pendleton) in C Co, 3rd Platoon; then A Co. for AVLBs back in the 1980s. It seems to have the woodland camo job the 1st Tanks had; I remember the little unit at 29 Palms...

    M60 repair

    When reinstalling the power pack, be VERY CAREFUL not to puncture the fuel tanks alongside the hull...it is easy to do (don't ask me how I know.... :roll: ) I have a sheared drive gear somewhere in my shop just like the one in pics #5 & #6.....it can happen. The hardest part of pulling &...

    H001654 Donaldson Air Ram

    Yes only available from Australia...I’ve purchased my 4” & 5” Air Rams from Western Filters in Australia, they did a great job of immediately packaging & shipping my orders. Didn’t have to pay any customs duties at the time (about 2 years ago), but YMMV.

    M1000 Trailer

    So it sounds like Karl is saying that you need to purchase a M1070 so you can tow your new trailer home. Win-Win!! :naner:

    Pic request

    WOW that truck looks GREAT! Good job! I've seen photos of M105 trailers with 46" tires (aka 395/85R20 or 15.5x20 as you have), there doesn't seem to be much clearance between the tire and the fender. Also some members here have run 14.50x20 tires from M35A3 on M105s, which seem to fit without...

    New to me M923a2

    Looks like your power steering reservoir cap is missing the vent filter; probably why "oil" is splashed all over everything nearby. Got mine from a seller on eBay a couple of years ago.

    M923a2 fuel problem

    Forget the soldering and BRAZE that joint....these trucks vibrate a lot, and the vibrations will cause the soft solder joint to crack again and either allow air to be sucked into fuel line or (better yet, ask me how I know) break off and the pickup tube will fall off into the farthest reaches of...
