Very nice!

Welcome to the machines.... Greetings from down the road in No. VA.

Why is there always a HUGE space between our text and our signatures? The old site didn't have that problem.

I actually prefer info from experience, thanks Storm.

That's a decent base to start from. If you're on the fence, I would do this: Buy the half-track, get it home. Then take a torch and cut off the crane, and any other junk which doesn't belong on it. Scrap that out to get some $$$ back out of it. Then, you have the remainder, which is all...

It could be worse - I get seasonal depression, starting around late October, lasting through early February. With all the problems I have at this time (debt, low income, etc.) this year is REALLY bad. And to make matters worse, I have NO MVs to work on. I envy you in your position, having an...

I have seen M101 and M105 trailers restored with new 24087 semi gloss paint, done up as it was in the 1950s and 1960s. For these trailers in this era, I have seen them restored with the side rack wood unpainted, finished with stain and polyurethane, and painted 24087 along with the body of the...

No you didn't waste time, perhaps there are a few things in your scan that my list doesn't cover - I got mine from the last version of the pioneer tool kit manual, I think your list is from an earlier loadout. Also, the tool kit trailer manual is NOT in the SS reference section.

I did it manually from the Govt. .pdf manual.

For those who can't read some of the .pdf text, due to font or the mildew on a couple of the pages, I've gone through it and pulled the data: 1 Generator Set, 6115-00-017-8237 2 Reel with cable, 13217E0412 1 Chuck, drill, 3460-00-268-9220 1 Chuck, springloaded, 5130-00-699-9868 1 Chuck, wood...

What I said. The rack was custom made. He lives near me, and I have followed this during it's construction.

He had that rack custom built, and he painted it up himself. Do a search on his threads, and you'll find the information on the rack build.

Log out? What idiot would want to do that?

I think it would be good for the classifieds section to have a thumbnail for the auctions with pictures shown in the listing of items for sale, like it was in the old site.

I'm not feeling it with the new site format. Sorry, some like it and some don't. I'm the latter. I'm okay with the new setup, and the new colors, the fact that a lot of things are slightly changed, that's all good. But the new format on the front page with every single updated post from all...

Good thread, Kenny. Probably the fact that you live in Salt Air Rust City, Florida, isn't helping matters with those U-bolts. The M416 trailer I snagged from BigCase a few years back was a veteran of the FL National Guard, and ALL the bolts were in the same condition as yours. The 1" bolt...

Oh God what am I going to do without Steel Soldiers for all day today!?!?!? Oh. right - get some sun, get some small projects done around the house, enjoy time with the family, etc.

I stopped by joediveguy's place right when he and his friend were pulling the hide off the deer with an ATV winch. Yup, we're all rednecks here. :)

I just rented a Uhaul car trailer (not a dolly) and it ran me $55 for the day, with tax it was $60. Of course, though, it was a local rental, not one way.

That truck is definitely you, Dirt! Then again, it's not really your type of truck. It's too nice to do a bolt-by-bolt teardown and rebuild of it!
