Diego127, Docfarmall, Everyone is welcome. Please join us, you will not regret. Docfarmall, If you want to come up thru Lawrenceburg, you can join a convoy up Indiana St Rt 1.

Top notch, sir. That's a restoration in which you can take pride. Making your own parts is the final step.

Bill, I have some pics and prices of the 5-ton tractor stuff that Chris told you about. If you want, PM me an email address, and I will send them.

Don't get me wrong, . . . I had a great time with the convoy. I would love to do it again in the future. Things are different this year though. Last year, the 1,170 mile trip was pretty hard on the old dump truck. I haven't had the time to do the proper PM to get ready for another. I...

I'm unsure of the status of the Green Serial for 2008. Last year, I volunteered to organize and lead a newly formed addition from the west for the 2007 ECC. We had participants from Ohio, Kentucky, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Our group consisted of six vehicles (four deuces, a goat, and a cucv)...

Here is another in progress . . . http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=photoshare&type=user&func=displayimage&iid=3084&viewkey=

I had posted a couple of t-shirt ideas for last year, see: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=8213&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=haspin&start=40 There didn't seem to be much interest. I'll be humble and assume it was because nobody much liked the...

What a tease. . . . C'mon Tony, pull that thing outside and take some more pictures, . . . maybe even a video!

Mine is on the right side frame rail (passenger side) :?

I had a positive experience with Berg also (summer 2005). Here is my story: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=Reviews&req=showcontent&id=2 And a previous set of comments from 2005: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=3364

Re: RE: Re: RE: after an auction closes... That may be true, but also they are eroding all of our manufacturing capability. Every time a manufacturing facility in the US closes because it is replaced by offshore production, we lose the ability to quickly respond with our industrial might. A...

Also, regarding 5-ton dump trucks: If I am not mistaken, the M51 / M51A1 / M51A2 share the same bed as the M817, so the canvas would be the same also. Not sure, but I believe that the 900 series dump trucks have a very similar bed with just a taller headache rack (bolt-on cab...

Hey clinto (and all), The very first post I made above (dated APR 3,2006) is very confusing because most of the pictures are missing due to the great server crash. Originally, there were many pictures posted and the links were there to serve as credit to the sources denoted by the links...

The 5-ton T/C uses an integrated pneumatic valve to move the sprag rather than the transmission linkage as found in the deuce. The 5-ton unit is also substantially more massive. Those two factors make it considerably more reliable, and subsequently, failures with the 5-ton sprag are markedly...

Great story, great trip. Glad to hear you guys are back safe and sound (and only slightly “worse for the wear”) Regarding the rear main leak, . . . I suspect you guys are dead tired, and might not have had a chance to look at it closely yet, so I will share this story: I had a similar fear...

oops, . . . Jason beat me to the punch. Slow typing is my nemesis again. Let me know if I can help.

I can do the autocad work if you like. However, might I suggest that we simply add Bjorn's, Patrick's (and others') observations as a sort of "Revisions" chart on the original document? I would hate to take away from the original author's work. We chase this kind of problem all the time at...

Great Job!! Let me also say that the "U.S. ARMY" lettering and hood numbers look truly perfect!!!!!! With so many font choices out there for different style and "weights", it seems tough to get just the right look. You have nailed it on this one. Not too wide or too "heavy" - just right...

Nice! It's all in the details for sure.
