February 17th, 2013. Ma Deuce: Thank you for the work on the FMV plate, I had the chance to talk to Mr. McGrath in person this Friday, and I find out I get to save $1.00 changing from a B-1 to an FMV plate, and my gross will go up to reflect the 2-1/4 tons the Unimog is actually allowed...

January 23rd, 2012. Another source for parts and manuals would be either: Unipaser (United Parts Service) Palto Alto, Ca. Attn. michael Smith or Swiss Army Vehicle Fayetteville, AR Attn: Willi Brandt! Remember that the 404 is set up for a normal running speed of between 60 and 70...

January 22, 2012. While you gentlemen debate why we should be allowed to own a second class FWD, you might just get attention drawn to the deuces and other vehicles we already have, and should the big kahunas decide to change the demil code to more restrictive versions, we, and you, are all...

January 6th, 2012. I do believe that the military Dnepr/Ural bikes descended from the BMW R75 or R65 of the pre WWII German Army, and back in the seventies or early eighties they would max out at 51 or 61 on the road. The problem then was with valves, springs and rings as those almost always...

January 4th, 2012. For the latent railroaders on site, where else can you find a railroad rulebook where the brakeman's wearing a helmet and a sidearm in the hand and lantern signals section?:-P

January 3rd, 2012. Truely an intrepid rider was caught on the news clip below in a Blizzard in Indianapolis.... http://youtu.be/tDkLmU0U6D8 I have ridden dirt bikes in blizzards many years ago, but this guy is on tough hombre.....:beer: Probably we should hunt him down an offer him an...

December 30th, 2012. Definitely trash can sized jewels, but I,m not sure I would have tried that one with the door shut! I guess he didn't realize that his trailer didn't float well, but think of all the post fording maintenance those two rigs must have needed.....:confused:

December 28th, 2012. The few Belarus tractors that have made it to the states always seem to have fit, finish and performance issues when used in agricultural applications. They were probably a very heavy tractor, but not likely compareable to even an old 1960's american tractor in...

December 27th, 2012. Tascabe: Should you decide to ditch the blue lights on the Unimog, I would be all ears if they are 24 volt along with the selector (off-on) switch.You are a lucky fellow having a S404-115 with the closed cab. I take it that the GAZ was an East German...

December 27th, 2012. USSR: How hard would it be to find a GAZ-69 in good running order, solid and presentable, on your side of the pond (the Atlantic)? Not that I am planning right now on tracking one down, but should I get assigned to Germany, I might be interested as I am trying to...

December 23rd, 2012. FM5332FF: Beware of the conversion adapter piece for the civillian distributor cap (EG-the aluminum or steel spacer that goes on top of the lower distributor body), some of these were index drilled wrong and if you fit the unit to the truck, you will be either too far...

December 16th, 2012. Dano: If you haven't figured it out yet, your 408 is actually even more of a fast tractor then my 404.114, and with the torque converter in the driveline, it wasn't intended for speed. Basically, you've got a true FWD with impulse drive, not warp, and nothing you...

December 9th, 2012. That one's gonna need a heck of a long set of steps, and you'd best not be drunk trying to get outta the camper, as the fall would kill you!;-)

December 9th, 2012. Love the Sugga, bbf tx: The woodland 4 color is interesting, the desert might work well around Austin if the drought continues, but I had a deuce in 686A Tan, and they couldn't see it in daylight in Paris,(Tx) which is almost piney woods, so do be aware, you will likely...

December 5th, 2012. It almost reminds one of the Chevy 1.5 tons that had their cabs cut to be converted for operations with the LRDG, except those were 4X2's.... I am pretty certain Dodge made right hand drives, as you have a rare survivor, and it should be interesting to see what unit(s) may...

November 29th, 2012. Muttandjeeps: I would love to see how much of the original side slope articulation you have left with those tires...? What happens on a side slope when the tire contacts the fender, as it would seem to want to either tear the tire or flip the truck.... I had considered...

November 29th, 2012 Finlandia: What sort of shape are the Russian UAZ's in, and how are the spare parts obtained in Sweden or Finland? If the prices are reasonable, you might want to think about have some of us get together and buy a few, containerize them, and send to the states. BUT they...

November 29, 2012. Gunny 1: I had a headquarters Mighty Mite, SN 2043, back in the 1970's and early 1980's. My memory is that the radio antenna mount was fitted to either the left rear fender (or possibly the right one), on the rear face, and part of the mount used the stamping or...

November 28th, 2012. I do wish the CCKW's were more reasonable in price and parts were easier to find, as GMC didn't want you to keep one of theirs more then 10 years, much less 70! I loved my M35A2 and do miss it, maybe if I get back to Texas I'll get an IFA W-50 and ruin all the 4X4 dudes...

November 28th, 2012 As the Immortal Doghead once said- "Post Photographs-NOT links!", the link goes dead and is useless, ergo this thread is completely useless!:-x
