    M818 Tractor Registration Number Location

    Referring to the Texas FMV LAWS thread linked in my signature block below, you are correct, the painted numbers need to be visible from the outside. In service Military Vehicles with the numbers painted on the insides of the doors ARE VISIBLE FROM THE OUTSIDE when positioned ABOVE the seat...

    Just Bought an M35A2

    At least in Texas, and probably in certain other states as well, the owner of a vehicle "not secured" (i.e.: leaving the keys in a typical vehicle) can be both charged with a crime essentially enabling the theft, AND be held liable in civil and criminal consequences of the result of the stolen...

    M886 patient compartment

    M151 Mine detection vehicle.

    Thanks, Rick. I have a growing interest in autonomous vehicles. Before long we may all be just packages in Artificially Intelligent (AI) Vehicles that pick up and deliver us on demand. Can you say: JETSONS ?!?!?

    Decision on a knuckle boom crane.

    General rule of thumb... The UNthreaded portion or "SHANK" of any connecting hardware (bolt, pin, shaft) SHOULD fully engage (extend through) the load-bearing bore of the mount, frame, plates, etc. for the full and less concentrated loading of the all-thread wherein ONLY the "points" of the...

    M151 Mine detection vehicle.

    By READING the information on the placard in the first set of pictures you might have known that this was a REMOTELY CONTROLLED (and therefore UNmanned) vehicle. Jus' sayin'. We all sometimes speak without first reading all the content.... I too am guilty of that at times.
