The new shoes look great! Time to put them on and see how they fit...

Or that. :funny:

I don't think it did, looks like it was a commercial trailer purpose built for moving the M105 trailer in bulk. See the "pads" on the second level, where the tires are sitting? Those look like they were only put there because of the unique placement of a bunch of M105 trailers in "tilted"...

...and don't know how to get them all home, looks like someone back in history has figured out how to, at least in this case, bring home 9 M105 trailers at a time without breaking a sweat!

BTW - the main difference between the old single-wheel landing device, and the newer dual-wheel, is that the newer one is adjustable for height. The old one is one-height-fits-all, and if you're unhooking the trailer on unlevel ground, you may have to have a friend or two help lift the lunette...

There should be a handle on the back end of the wheel caster assembly. looks like a bent "U". Grab it and yank outward on it, should unlock the wheel assembly, it will swing down, and if completely folded down, the "handle" will clink back into place to securely hold the landing wheel in the...

Say no to crack - pull up your pants.

Here's the Ga Mafia on parade!

I highly recommend you fellas rename it the Georgia Mafia. If you keep running around calling yourselves the Ga Mafia, I think you might have a nasty visit from some actual Mafia members who would like to have a word with you and your Ga friends.

Ditto. Most times I tell these people where to go, for...um....help. A few times I've sent them there.

Maybe for one or two of them, you might be right. That one on the left looks somewhat like a WWII van trailer, but smaller. Last one, the "tank trailer" is definitely military, probably started life as a M105 cargo or M149 tank trailer, and had the body replaced with that weird tank thing...

I've never seen military trailers like those. They look like small-contract, special-purpose items. Probably 1940s-1950s from their "look". Did you happen to get close and see if they had any data plates?

I had a M134 minigun parts kit several years back, all the parts except the receiver housing. Cost a pretty penny to assemble the package, and sold for same. I wish you well in your dummy gun build, I've seen a few half-assed replicas and they just didn't look right. It's a complex design to...

Looks pretty cunning to me!

Wow! That thing is a work of art! I'd be afraid to use it and get it all dirty and oily...

Great! Now all your need are two NDT 9.00x16 tires and the slave cable box to mount to the brackets that are already there....

ALSO - there are some armored vehicles that have came off of military ranges, used as targets. These were either sold surplus with a demil requirement, OR they were illegally removed from the range. And if you buy one that has been restored, but had this demil requirement or was removed from a...

Sometimes armor comes from private companies that got ahold of the vehicles for contracting/development purposes, and SOMETIMES they can sell it legally afterwards. Sometimes they come from police departments that are done using them for SWAT duty, but I'd expect this more for older vehicles...

Good save on the M100. Try power washing it with a power sprayer, that yellow latex paint might just peel off under the pressure. Looks like all you need is a replacement lunette and you're all set!

Gary's Halftrack parts used to have a pile of new and good take-off tracks. Are they all gone? http://www.halftracks.com/index.cfm
