    source for filters

    I need the gravity-fed sock filters for filtering used motor oil. Not sure if my terminology is right, looking for ones that look like inverted dunce caps (perfect for me). Need 50 micron, 10 micron, and 2 micron, or similar gradients. Anyone know of a good online source for cheap filters of...

    Seabee M35

    Chris, the trunnion and sheaves may have to be fabricated, not a small task. However, there was a gent here recently who made his own towbar out of laser-cut sheet steel pieces welded together. Perhaps he might be of service by fabbing up some of them. Won't be cheap, I gather, but it beats...

    Pictures of M60 and M56 Scorpion

    The M60 is big, bigger than an Abrams (the Abrams weighs more due to the depleted uranium skirt, but is actually lower to the ground). The Scorpion does ride on road tires, that require inflation, like any car tire would. Gives the track a really smooth ride, and helps absorb the shock of the...

    WOW! Those are some great pics of a great rig! You put a lot of work into that truck and trailer. I love the first picture, very deep blue sky makes for a striking photo of your M109...

    M886 Radio???

    The VRC-12 series of radios that nattieleather mentioned above is standard, but there were dozens of radio configurations used in M880 series trucks. The oldest setup I've ever heard of being installed was a PRC-47 set, the newest was a GRC-206 (which is rather complex and includes the RT-524...

    Series 3 109 FFR

    Very cool. Like I've said to restorers before at shows, the restoration is great, but its the ACCESSORIES that make the final product. I can't tell you the number of Willys MBs and M37s I have seen at a show that are well restored, and have no accessories or pieces of kit, and they bore me, to...

    Deuce sticking in 3rd gear

    One of the deuces recently started exhibiting a problem I'm not sure what the issue is. Plenty of lube in the tranny. Couple times, though, the deuce got into 3rd gear, and wouldn't get out of gear, no matter how hard I'm trying to yank the shifter out of the gear position. I "solved" it by...

    Deuces: maintenance-intensive, or not?

    Okay, time to start a discussion on maintenance issues on the deuce. Here's the thing: I've heard some folks who talk about maintenance all the time, doing the Lubrication Order to the letter, etc., basically calling the deuce a maintenance intensive truck. They work on their trucks all the...

    Blackout Light ID

    Looks WWII to me, but can't identify what it might go on. The black finish tells me it's probably something Navy, and not Army, else it would be green rather than black.

    How much have you spent with GL?

    I used to conduct a regular business doing surplus material resale, so I'm in for WAY over $10K over the past several years. Not to the $100K mark, though.
