    MEP 016B/701A Questions

    Just wondering if that is the steam cleaner they just sold on GSA that was out on Boston Ave? I have two 701A's here at the house I picked up a few months ago and neither seem to be putting out 24 volts. Mine will not run unless I have them slaved to a good 24 volt source. If you need to look...

    Commo Gear for the GA Rally

    I have a ham radio I was thinking of putting in the M886 if anyone else has their license. My radio works in the 2m and 70 cm ranges I think. I will be an expert in the use of this radio by then (I have been asked to be an emergency communication person at church) but right now I know little...

    Columbia SC June 12, breakfast?

    I actually have no real desire to go to any gun shows anymore. Everything is overpriced. The last time I went to the Fair grounds they took my clip and wouldn't let me take it in. It's kind of funny because I can carry my gun in, buy a new clip and ammo, but can't take my clip in. Now that I...

    Columbia SC June 12, breakfast?

    Well I have a thought. There is a gun show this weekend at the SC state fair grounds and I thought that would be a great place and time to meet some people. I'm not organizing anything here, just making a suggestion. What do you guys think of meeting somewhere for breakfast (or lunch) and...

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    OK Scout , I want to know where you got he LED lights? I saw some for sale a few years ago that were rated for the voltage mentioned above, but I have been looking for any LED lights that are rated at anything other than 12 volts and have not been able to find anything on the web. We have air...

    New Member from SC

    A couple of questions. What RR museum are you referring to? The one in Winsboro? The Cracker barrel on Farrow is a easy place to meet and early is good. If no one shows up, you can still have a good breakfast. There are several places on two notch at I-77 that would work too. I think there...

    New Member from SC

    The new guy here has got me to thinking. Are there many activities that we here in the Columbia area do on a regular basis? I know the Military vehicle collectors of SC do stuff, or at least I used to know. Do they still get together at Owens field on Thursday? Are there any others that do...

    M 880 Facts

    For what it's worth, I didn't have any running lights or head lights until I put the 3 lever switch in the "drive"? position (all the way down to the right, I suddenly can't think what that is called). With it in that position, my regular lights work off the the regular civilian switch. I keep...

    Options for 395

    Attention cheap people. I have made several rims from factory wheels and a 4" section of a dayton wheel. Makes a 11" wide rim that looks nice and runs good. Down side you have to buy tubes and flaps. If you have rims sitting around, you don't have to buy any. I have a bunch of them so that...

    Is my truck 686 tan (carc substitute)?

    Title says all. I want to order some paint this week and this is my first "brown" truck. Part number 33446 gillespie coatings is what I was thinking I need. I was thinking of painting the truck to match the hood, but I think it will be easier to paint the hood to match the truck.

    Towed a XM818, drove the M886

    I had it made to make these: TrapStop It's a sewer fitting. The guys that made the mold and I have parted ways so I am now looking for someone else to make my fittings. I have several other fittings I would like to make, but molds are VERY EXPENSIVE.

    Towed a XM818, drove the M886

    Well I'm as a busy as an ant at a picnic right now, been working every minute I can for a few weeks, but I spent the entire day driving my trucks. It rained all day so I couldn't dig ditches so it was a perfect day to pick up my XM818 from Ft. Jackson. Sorry to all you guys that wanted me to...

    SC MV bill

    Well here's a crazy thought. I just put a tag on a M818 yesterday and I asked about registering a vehicle as an RV. I have looked over the DMV site and can find no mention of the criteria for a RV. I have also been reading up at Title 56, S.C. Code of laws - www.scstatehouse.gov - LPITS and...

    clueless question on inner tubes

    I had a tire guy tell me if you put a tube in a tubeless tire (Like putting a tube in a 14.00 XL radial) you should put baby power between the tube and tire to help lube it. He said the roughness of the inside of the tire will wear the tube out and the power will help with that.

    m818 towing m818 questions

    I have never towed a deuce or 5 ton. I have always moved stuff on my trailer but I can't move anything larger than a M35A2 wo/w. The one time I tried to tow a M35 it did not track very well and I was told to tie the wheel. I pull started it and drove it home (out of the DRMO). My truck is at...

    Ebay claims again-wow

    I am sick of these nuts on ebay. I just read a description on a "bob deuce" and I will copy and paste it here: "like most of these trucks the gas guage works when it wants to!! will go over 600 miles to a tank of fuel!! after 300 im always ready for a break anyway!!" Did I miss something...

    m818 towing m818 questions

    Well I hope to pick up my M818 from GL in a week or two and I am thinking of towing it with the other M818. I wanted to drive it home but even with a tag and insurance GL said I can not drive it out of the DRMO. So if I have to tow it 200 yards I might as well tow it the 20 miles home. So...

    buy from dealer or owner?

    Very good point. Here's a few thoughts. I bought my first truck from a dealer because I didn't know any better. They said I could pick one out of the yard and check everything for me. Each one will call what they do something different. Anyway, I paid for it, drove it off the lot, with no...
