Like the SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN..... "We have the technology. We can rebuild (it)."

:rules: :derailed: You've got a great idea for a NEW THREAD & POLL.... but PLEASE feel free to create that NEW THREAD and not hijack this pre-existing one. Thank you for your compliance.

Welcome to the addiction! Congrats on your first MV acquisition, too.

Thank you, David. That post needed clarification. Five years ago I wasn't as "smart" as I thought I was. John

But I digress.

Thanks, USSR. Why the sudden activation? Exercise or is something brewing? Thanks for posting up so much GOOD content here.

All I can say is WOW. WOW ! Carry on.

KATRINA +11 Years.... BUMP ! Today is the 11th Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's landfall. It's appropriate that we all be reminded of what we can do with our MV's in a time of crisis...

Also look for algae in the fuel tank. A SHORT run time would be about right for enough algae to completely foul the first fuel filter. if you crack open that Fuel Filter Can and there is a light brown slime you will need to THOROUGHLY CLEAN out the algae and CHANGE the Fuel Filter Element. ADD...

Thanks, Rory. Twas an optical illusion indeed. His miniaturization seems to be true to scale. Quite an accomplishment on many levels.

Agreed with all submitted suggestions. It's also a good time to check, clean/replace the axle vents. And please thank them for their service. Carry on.

It IS an older 5-Ton as already verified. Some of the "dead-giveaways": - Longer Hood than a Deuce. - Longer Fenders - note the LARGE OPEN SPACE behind the front wheel. (The Deuce has nearly uniform clearance fore and aft of the tire.). - 10-Bolt Wheels (already mentioned). - There are other...

Thank you for posting this up! That photo of the aft view seems to show - I'm sure it's an optical illusion - that the clearance between the propeller blade-tips and each other, and with the fuselage may be nonexistent. Realizing the scale dimensions are most probably quite authentic, I'm sure...

I recognize that rig !!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwzaxUF0k18 Praying you all goodness in your new location.

It sure looks tiny among it's younger generations. But let us recognize that that one... yes the little one... stands tall and honorably as the war veteran, one much nearer the GREATEST GENERATION which continues to salute and bring noble recognition to all those who have served. God bless...

Those darn mis-matched bumper heights.... There ought to be a LAW!..... Oh no!!! Wait a minute.... If there was a LAW then somebody might notice the mismatch between the bumper or bumperettes on a Deuce of 5-Ton with that leading edge on the Ferrari. Dang! You'd think that for $300-400...

Beautiful subject matter in those photos !!! Several are worthy of publication on an MV Calendar. Thanks for sharing them.

Of the thousand pounds or so of spare parts we got when we won our Deuce, we are fortunate to have a freshly tested, ready to use radiator. It's got its own cozy spot in our storage area where its not likely to be damaged until and if we ever need it. Being valued at $800.... We only paid...

Probably not so much that your engine was shipped to Germany FOR the rebuild. More then likely, the engine (and the truck it came out of pre-rebuild) was ALREADY IN Europe (again, probably Germany) when it was pulled and tagged for rebuild. Then, it was simply depot rebuilt or contractor rebuilt...
