Sounds like you need another tractor to go with that trailer now! Cool stuff. do you have ramps for it?

Well for the price you only get so much. :smile: It was a great team.

Just spent a lot of time on the M38A1 with similar issues, replace cap, rotor, plugs, plug wires, rebuilt carb, new coil, timing, and it was still sputtering. finally put in a new condensor and it fired right up. If you pull the coil wire out of the distributor and have someone crank while you...

We fielded 8 vehicles and 11 people for this event. The parade was about and hour or a little longer. The turnout appeared to be at least as large as the 4th of July parade. These pictures are from the parade prep time, as the night time photos didn't turn out that well. There were two WW2...

M923 -Installed spacers under the fuel can carrier so that it is not directly on top of the tool box. This allows for removal of the fuel can strap, so it doesn't rot out. Lubed the door catches and greased the truck except for the zerks between the transmission and transfer case. I need an...

Wanted to bump this one up. Parade tomorrow night. Any other takers? We are looking at starting to show up at my house around 1400 to get to decorating the rigs. Will have a burger and head over to line up area. We need to be in line by about 1700 at the latest. If you have questions...

Was picking up field tables. I now know that my truck will haul 44 of them. Maybe a couple more, but this should be enough to hold me for awhile. It will be a good spring project for me rebuilding them as about 1/3 need it.

So far about 3 ww2 jeeps, maybe a couple M923's, M54, a ww2 command car, M38A1C. Any other takers? We have done this the last 2 years and there is about as big a turnout for this one as the 4th of July. hope to see you there. P

That might be a possible for me. Meet in Olympia and have burgers?

Had a call this evening from a gent that hopes to make this parade the rolling out ceremony for his M38A1C. We might meet at my house in the afternoon to put lights on vehicles if there is an interest to do this. The form up for the parade is about 3 blocks from the house.

Sounds like a nice day excursion. The 101 Loop trip would probably be somewhere around 350 miles, plus or minus. Am not sure I can squeeze another trip in. so far this year I have done 25 outreaches, doing vehicles or military history displays and have 2 more to go.

If there is any interest, the 1st Sgt. was wanting to do a two or three day convoy around the Loop, that is Highway 101 and the Olympic Penninsula some time this summer. We would probably camp out a night or two during the course of this excursion. If some would like to go, we will start...

What do you mean it won't be ready? I thought we did everything but wash and wax it last weekend.:-P Will you have that Saturday off? I am sure that there is a spare rig around here that you could drive, but that would mean more lights and maybe another converter or small generator for the...

Filled out the application for this one today, under the title of "Friends of Kilroy" - Steel Soldiers. Anyone going to turn out. So far I have two WW2 jeeps and 2 - 5 tons. Our local NG unit has turned out with 2 or 3 trucks the last couple of years as well. Line up about 1630 and parade at...

Decide what you want in a truck and the options it should have, wait and watch. Do you mind a 10 wheeler or do you need single 6's, do you want CTIS? Winch ? Hardtop or soft? Desert or Woodland? Troops seats, bows, and canvas. It is usually more cost effective to find one that has the...

So what you are saying is that a glad hand and 1/2 inch hose will power the 1" impact gun, enough to take the lug nuts off? One theory I have heard is to have a separate air tank, filled off your glad hand and then run a one inch hose off the separate tank and that will do it. I have the one...

I have a friend down here that is getting to the point of thinking about parting with a trailer or two. Will keep you posted.

as for the trailers, first and most plentiful are the 1 1/2 ton M105 trailers, then you have the ammo trailer, various generator trailers, and a few of the Hemmet style cargo trailers have been coming through Ft. Lewis. Wrecker Ray has one and thinks it tows just great, but you need some...

ps, the trailer has one wooden side rack, but I noticed that Brad had some fiberglass racks in his pile. Maybe need to do another trip out there. He hooked me up with a fiberglass cab guard for the 5 T. My truck has fiberglass for the troop seats but had a wooden head rack. Just need a day...

manders, it won't work with the 5 tons. Am thinking of getting the ambulance set up to tow it. Although they didn't want them towing anything. Also thinking about getting an adapter made for the 5 T so I can tow some of the smaller stuff like a trailer or jeep.
