Thanks for the link, supermechanic. He sure has a lot of gear - hope he can help out.

Lookin' good Scott! Guess that's what you're gonna be driving to the next Rausch Creek event, huh? ;)

Oh I would use larger diameter pipe, I would just have the pipe coming out in a different location, whatever the original location was. I can fab it up...might even put a muffler on it to sound a little less like an A2.

Anyone have any good pics or diagrams of the exhaust routing for the original M35 or M35A1? I have an M35A2 with a bad exhaust stack, was thinking or re-routing it a-la early deuce and having a truck with the performance of a turbo deuce, but I can repaint into a Vietnam era truck, and it would...

Where do you think I got what I have now?? ;)

The only trailers, to my knowledge, that the M915 series should not try and haul, are the heavy lowboy trailers meant for tanks (i.e. M747, M1071, etc.) because the kingpin is too big. Also, the short cargo trailers like the M416 or M101, they tend to sway due to their short wheelbase to the...

Got a new radio in a roundabout trade this week. This is the transmitter/exciter mate to the R-1051 receiver, which I have one of (I have three more of them for sale), the transmitter is the T-827B. Covers 2-30 MHz, AM/CW/USB/LSB/ISB/FSK, in 100 Hz steps. Weighs about 50 pounds, rack mounted...

Mine runs about 180 all the time. As far as the interior goes, I removed the heater. Even in January in Virginia, I don't need a heater at all.

Having a geared lug nut wrench would help with the nuts as well...

Since this seems to have melded into a thread about the P1500, I'll post the info on that too: from Wikipedia: Landkreuzer P. 1500 Monster The Landkreuzer P 1500 Monster was a German pre-prototype super-heavy tank designed during World War II, representing the apex of the Nazis' extreme tank...

Yes, that is the 800mm shell that the cannon "Dora" and "Gustav" fired during the eastern campaign. The 1500 would have used that shell had it ever been made. And you were incorrect, the largest tank that the Germans built a hull for was the Maus, but 2 of those tanks were completed, at...

Saw the thread on the "WW1 Land Battleship" (which was PB hauling a WW1 British tank, maybe 35 tons or so), and I had to post this: "The Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte was to have been an extremely large tank for use by Nazi Germany during World War II. It was designed in 1942 by Krupp with the...

I used a sledgehammer and a prybar once to do it. That was the first AND last time I'm doing it that way.

Manuel Labor does this kind of stuff all the time, right after working around here picking vegetables.

For those wanting to get vehicles ready for the big show in May, this is your official notice, you have less than six months to get them ready. For those doing restorations, this time will FLY by. :)

I have always hated crimping the military connectors, simply because I can never get the crimp right with the standard off-the-shelf $8.00 crimping tool. It got me so frustrated that I have almost given up and went with standard civilian type connectors as replacements. Now I know what tool I...

Must take the time to thanks LongueCarbine, zout, and AMGeneral in their efforts in moving two LMTV rims and tires from Louisiana to Georgia to North Carolina to Virginia over the past several months. The Steel Soldiers Freight Service works, as long as you're patient, and I want to thank these...

I got one it's not mounting anything but it does have super singles.

That happened to NewMVGuy at the first Rausch Creek rally in Oct. 2007. It's not common, but it happens occasionally. Nothing you can do to prevent it other than check your brakes once a year. It is also one of the reasons I choose to resistance brake with the engine and downshifting. Takes...

Anyone here ever think about putting a 5-ton wrecker setup in the rear end of a M915 or M916 tractor? Just got a brainfart about that idea, it might not be as rugged as a M816 wrecker, as the frame is not doubled up, but might make a road tractor a little more useful for those who have a -915...
