Saw the emergence of the HMMWV issue M1101/1102 trailers that are starting to come out now. Would you think that a CUCV M1009 would have the means to tow one around? Now loaded up to the max, mind you, but perhaps as a towed camping trailer or with a light load?

Close. Passenger side behind the front seat.

That's a heckuva collection, Kurt! Got any pics of your stash?

:funny:

Anyone else have military radios they'd like to share with the room?

I might be able to attend, depends on if I have work to do that weekend and I won't know that until time gets closer. Also, unless I win the lotto between now and then, civvy vehicle only.

Two things... I put everyone who posted here in a Steel Soldiers Ham Radio Operators .pdf file, but it looks like I'm not able to upload Excel Spreadsheets anymore to SS. ???? Anyways, I'll see about changing it around to another format to allow upload. Second, I just applied to FCC for a...

Can't do better than this deal above, man. See? Always good to post your finds on Steel Soldiers!

Awesome save, those CUCV IIs aren't common yet....

You will find the M416 series of trailers to be so useful you won't be able to live without one ever again. Wish 1/4-ton trailers were still an item you can find on GL, but those days are long gone. Good save!

I'd do it, if it was my truck. I did it on my deuce when I had it. Sure won't hurt.

Yes, it is common. It comes from having the truck parked out in the rain for a LONG time without a can covering the exhaust stack to keep water out, over time the J-pipe rust out. It can be repaired by a muffler shop, or you will have to find a replacement J-pipe.

Looks like you're making progress, kassim! Good save, and it already looks 100% better since you sprayed it with OD green. Hope to see that as your tow vehicle for the RC rally!

Uh, wow. I just hope the trailer brakes are feeling their oats when you have to haul a 5-ton. Just...don't try hauling any 5-ton wreckers, please? I don't want to read about you in the paper.

My advice, the stock engine is pretty good, if it's running condition I'd keep it for originality's sake. If the stock engine is blown or missing, common replacements include the 350 Chevy, the 318 Dodge, or the 4BT/6BT Cummins diesel. I'd go with the latter myself, but all are decent...

It would be nice to see tooling around at the big show, hopefully you'll have a little more done on it that I was able to get done. Glad you were able to save her....

Well, the new owner picked it up this morning. Off to a new home in Maryland, hope it brings them some smiles....

Is there an easy way to compare the mule engine to the genset version of the same motor?

A buddy of mine called and said he got a 4-cylinder mechanical mule engine in trade, wants me to get rid of it. I think I'll pick it up off him and try and sell it myself in the classifieds. Anyways, judging from what he has told me, it's a A04-53 4-cylinder gas engine. I have never seen an...

I would keep it only as a field repair means for fixing spliced wiring, or other electrical problems like it. I would NOT use it as a long-term fix.
