Some views from the 601s escape hatch and a shot of my motorpool...

I think the 601 was somewhat popular. Wait until next year when it hits the trails. Some pictures...

According to the IIHS link above (post #13), not all ICC bars are jokes...

Don't forget Weare next week!

Thanks. I have about a dozen of those mortar boxes without too many ideas about how to use them. Here's one more! [thumbzup]

Here's someones recent experience... And here is a news release from the IIHS admitting that many current underride guards fail to be effective, just as mentioned in an earlier post here, and that they plan to petition the NHTSA to increase standards/requirements and close loopholes that let...

Ha! 'Office Space', funny flick. [thumbzup]

I bet you clicked here because you thought it had something to do with drinking, huh? Sorry, no. :-P I did my searching and only came up with a couple of hits. One about the PA DoT claiming one was needed during a stop and another regarding a registration inspection in CT, so now I'm asking...

The 601 will be there. Whether she gets off the trailer is another matter! If the engine is running well enough by show time, she will putter around a bit. There may still be a steering problem, but not severe enough to not run, just a little more arm muscle will be needed to turn right...

I have maddawg308s old deuce. I'm keeping the name Jayne because I think it might be bad luck to change it, but there will be a sex change. Sorry. SHE is now named after Jayne Mansfield. hubba hubba :mrgreen:

I don't think acetone is a serious health problem. Your body produces it and it can help control epilepsy. In higher concentrations it can be an irritant, but that's about it. It takes some rediculously high concentrations to become toxic, i.e. don't drink it, don't inhale it. If you get it on...

Yeah, that controller is a bit pricey compared to standard electric controllers, but more versatile and sensitive/proportional. Works for air or hydraulic. Looks to me like your solution is a binary braking solution (trailer brakes completely on or off), true? If so, yup, that's cheaper...

Lots of threads on the 24V-12V trailer lights and brakes thing, but here's my try at it... The electric brakes should be a done deal with this MaxBrake. $350 for hydraulic, $390 for air. Lighting, which should be the easiest, seems to be the hardest to solve (cheaply). The SEC box will do...

Are the yellow units Foremost/Nodwell 110s? (on closer exaimination, I think not, but similar, maybe a Foremost Chieftan?) I see most of the rest of your fleet has Mattracks. Man, those are stupidly expensive!! :shock:

I got the 601 towed south on Tuesday as planned, just much later in the day than planned. She wasn't going to run right for me (white smoke from the exhaust and a blown master or slave steering cylinder), so it was winching and towing time. Nephew was with me just to observe, but now he had to...

I hit the road too late for any site-seeing, but I'll be driving that route quite a bit in the coming years, so I'll get to the museum eventually. Didn't even have time for lunch.

Maybe you're thinking of a USArmy Weasel pulling a smaller artillery piece? I know some model companies did make models of other snowcats, just not this one. I believe there are models out there of other Thiokols, Tuckers, Aktiv SnowMasters, Ohara (Japanese, not Irish), BV206 (more of an ATV)...

No. :-P But if it is running well enough, you can operate it yourself. :driver:

First, here's a link to my tiny little thread in the official colors for strata blue and insignia yellow. I don't know the standard for the white lettering. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/paint-bodywork/76781-usaf-strata-blue-insignia-yellow.html Second, a little bit about markings, including...

Heads up, the 601 should be on the move tomorrow afternoon for repositioning. Taking her south to get the mice chased out for Weare. Most of the trip will be along I-91 between St Johnsbury and Windsor VT. Currently parked next to a civvy cousin, the Thiokol 1201C(WT).
