Where did this recovery take place? Neat stuff.

Replaced a couple of the small corner rubber ropes on the cargo cover. A 3 foot piece works very well for those. The original was 5/16 and what is being sold in the truck stores is 3/8's, so I did find with a little candle wax on the hole, the new larger diameter rope goes through okay. Have...

Here is a tip that may be worthwhile. In WA state oversize, height loads are required to be escorted on their journeys. The front pilot car will use a height pole that is set at 6 inches above the height of the measured load. This allows them to get a strike and warn the following load. Just...

OFM will be hosting their Spring Military show and display on March 8. Military vehicles are welcome, please chime in to this thread or send me a note so I can make arrangements with them for us. They will let us use their main parking lot for MV's and you will have free access to the show...

Thank you for the note. Keep an eye on these pages for next years update. I may be fighting the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium during the next parade, but will get it set up so you guys can all participate. Locally there were several nice comments on what we fielded that night. The more the...

That is the best way, to get up close to them. If he hasn't sold them all, he has a good variety of the styles of trucks.

Check the Portland CL. There have been a few on there lately.

It is a bit too cold and wet, but worked on some rust on the 923 today. It seems both mirrors were developing some bad spots, plus the mounting arms too. So took them apart, beat on the rust, got some primer on them, painted, and reinstalled on the truck. will probably have to do some touch up...

Thanks Hammer. That is the information that I was looking for. These were built in the day where 50 was about it. Do we need to get pictures of this one while it is still all put together so we can see to do it some time in the future? It towed very comfortably and made an interesting setup...

Thank you for the info. Unfortunately this turned out to be a bigger project than projected and by the time I got it delivered, it was getting dark and I didn't realize that I didn't get a good enough photo of the data plate. It is twenty miles away now, but will get a pic next time I am down...

Thank you for the tip on this. It looks roughly similar to the S 749 system. we will keep doing research on it. The question is it safe to tow one at 50 or 55 MPH? It seemed to tow okay at 45, but would like to see the recommendations in the manual if someone has them.

Communication Box Went and picked up a trailer for Larry M. today. Fortunately it wasn't far to my house, because by the time I got there, one brake drum was very warm. I gave it a bath, greased, and checked the tires. The neighbor came over and we played with it pulling it back and forth and...

We went up the Skokomish valley past Camp Gobi. It is about 45 miles out of Shelton to where we ended up. It is a beautiful area and allowed for a little bit of shooting time as well. We were camped on the same spot about 4 years ago and got a foot or better of snow overnight and had to do...

Friends of Willie and Joe Battle of the Bulge campout 2013 Here are a few pictures of this weekends activities up in the Olympic Mountains of Washington. Usually we go for the snow, but no snow this year. We started with 6 vehicles and ended with 5 as the Command Car blew a soft plug and had to...

I recovered three M1102's Thursday and Friday. Only glitch was that one of the landing legs was missing the crank handle. Anyone got a spare handle hanging around. I may be able to find one at the trailer store, or might have to replace the landing leg. Of course I forgot to take the camera...

Anyone need anything looked at tomorrow? I have to go pick a trailer up in the morning and plan on being there early.

Looks like Russian camoflage colors.

That is neat about the trailer. I was wondering if it was one they pulled out of the weeds somewhere, with old tires and everything else old too. They have had a couple of WW2 bomb trailers withing the last year and I am wondering where they got those. In the folding tables I picked up a...

Sorry, guess I could have looked at your equipment list and figured that one out. Has it been updated on lights or is it using the old style M series lights?

Was that the trailer that was the 1953? I too looked at that and don't even have a truck to pull it. Neat stuff.
