The unwanted metal is gone. The fuel tanks and bracket are removed as is the drivers side rear shock. Next will be the drive shaft and then I’ll tackle the rear axle. As I go along I’m scraping any loose paint off, which is mostly red paint. The underlying green paint looks like it weathered okay.

Got the drivers side cleaned up and started on the left. I’ll have to use the oxy fuel to cut them off. I started pulling off parts to clean things up. More to come.

Got the first of the unwanted brackets and frame extensions removed. My son did most of the cutting with oxy fuel. 6 more to go then I’ll grind off the rough edges and start removing the red paint. The rough cuts were my failed attempts which show just how much I don’t know welding. My son is...

. I know your pain. 25 years in the services (AF & MC), no way to really get and keep big green trucks. Save your money, invest in some necessary tools and when you leave the service for good, go for it!

My M35A2 all dolled up for Christmas outside a local drug store. We helped raise 5 Toys For Tots collection boxes and over $400 during collection drives at the two local Walgreens.

Getting the cross boards took took all of 5 minutes. What I need to figure out is do I cut off the large post war angles or remove them completely. Anyone got suggestions on that?

Starting this project up again. More to come.

. I have boxes, cans and shelves full of hardware. Bolts, washers, nuts and screws in the hundreds. I have cases of doodads, thingamajigs, whatsits and some truly bizarre stuff that I can’t even classify. And every time I need a partiitem, I have to go through all of it to find what I need. Case...

Somewhere out in the barn I’ve got a massive snatch block. I guess I should dig it out and see what I’ve got...

. Someday id like to find an old aircraft, fighter, Trainer or helicopter to restore. I’ve been looking for years for one but no luck so far.

I’d like to have one too!

What is a M208? I tried looking it up and got a bunch of kerfuffle entries. No real info.

. I don’t nothing for tow bars but I’d really like to get that ACAV unit off the top of that track!

My M59 is is on the back burner. I’m swamped with other stuff. One of these days...

I don’t recall if this has been addressed: if there’s an auto electric company in your area, pull the alternator and have it bench tested. If there’s nothing wrong you may be charged a bench fee, which in my case was $35.00. In Cheyenne, there is a repair shop called Auto Electric but they...

. Thank you! And now I have another part to sell, or trade, or... I guess I need to do another add in the classifieds.

. I got one of my trucks in a similar way. While passing through a tiny village I spotted a mil surplus truck behind the volunteer fire department. It took some sleuthing to get in contact with the fire fighters but once I did, I hit paydirt. It was a M52A2 that was converted into a tanker...

I’m not sure what vehicle this goes on. I thinks it’s a Humvee part but if I guessed wrong, please let me know. I picked this up as part of a bunch of stuff. Once I know what it’s used for, I can decide what to do with it. Here’s the pics:

I verified all my settings to allow people to see my photos. Not sure why you can’t see the pics. Contact an administrator for help.

If I can find the TM in my stack, I think I remember seeing such an item. It might have been a track TM... hmmm, now the bug has chomped my ear and I’ll have to start digging. I’ll let you know when/if I can find it again...
