    Dry cut metal saw question

    I have a 14" abrasive cut-off saw made by Milwaukie and it works well for 1/4" thick box wall tubing. Anything thicker and it goes on the hydraulic band saw. At work we typically use a fluid cooled/lubricated horizontal band saw. The higher priced saws have cast bases while the lesser priced...

    M936 unavailable after winning

    We the tax payers get screwed by how much they receive from the selling of items by GL. One of my last purchases had a shipping receipt attached. Uncle Sugar got billed as much for the shipping (from the unit that turned in the trailer) as I paid for the trailer.

    Just bought a 2W,M116A2 generator trailer

    Pennsylvania only has two snow plows, ones in the museum and the other is in the shop.:) Virginia roads don't experience as much freeze/thaw as do the roads in Pennsylvania. I drive down I-81 from I-70 in Maryland, thru West Virginia to the Shanndoah Valley and you see the same poor road...

    ABERDEEN 2012 ( Only 192 days away)

    There were some in isle C/D half way down. Both of my M105A3's have camo covers. The pattern is identical on both, so I doubt that they were done in the field.

    ABERDEEN 2012 ( Only 192 days away)

    Most of the museum pieces have been moved to Fort Lee Virginia. Part of the BRAC (Base Realignment and Closing) program. You might wish to call the museum to see what they have left.

    Hootchi Cootchi Trailer

    Where was the load in relation to the axle? If behind the axle, the trailer didn't have any tongue weight. No tongue weight will "wag" a trailer and your Jeep rather well. If the load was spread out or in front of the axle, I've got no clue.

    M1102 axle width

    The M1101 and 1102 use stub axles that are bolted to the frame. They don't use the normal tube axle that you would be used to.

    Maryland MV owners are in trouble

    The problem is that Maryland and the Democratic governor, Martin O'Malley keep raiding the highway trust fund and dumping the monies into the general fund to cover their pet projects. The previous governor got lambasted during his re-election campaign about having raised the motor vehicle...

    Maryland MV owners are in trouble

    This all has come to a head due to the Maryland legislatures inability to keep spending within acceptable limits. The Historic vehicle loop hole has existed for years. All you needed was a vehicle that was 20 years old or older. Way too many people running historic tags which only cost $51.00...

    Oshkosh Snow plow W/ frozen motor

    A friend is doing a 69 Chevelle restoration from the ground up. The motor would rotate around 240 degrees then stop. A few weeks of various penetrating liquids, he finally decided to pull the heads for a look-see. All that was found was a little crud in the top of one cylinder. A blast of...

    M747 destroyed by crooks

    The torch cut on drivers side looks too uneven for a pro. Appears they backed a vehicle under the trailer and cut the neck loose. The M747 uses a 3.5" pin does it not? That's why the trailer was left. Too bad there weren't any hydraulic lines in the area, because they could have set...

    Ether vs. Liquid Wrench?

    Ether is a lot more explosive than Liquid Wrench or WD-40. I'm guessing that the detonation of the fluid isn't nearly as violent as ether. I used ether, hair spray and WD-40 in my potato gun and the ether was the most explosive of the three products. I had no flame out of the barrel from...

    Powder coating now available in fed. Std colors

    Do you want a cookie to go along with it? Power coating small parts is fine, anything that has square corners usually yields thin coating due to Faraday Cage effect. Powder coatings can't be repaired without stripping the old coating and re-coating the entire part. Find a industrial paint...
