DOH!!!aua auaauaaua I set myself up for that one. Now if only it were true. Got all the equipment to weld almost anything and no clue on how to use it. And to top it off, the local college doesn't give welding classes. One of these days I'll get brave and try it out. Watch for the mushroom...

There is an offcial website for most, if not all, military organizations. The Army has a Heritage organization that's name escapes me for the moment but anyway, they have everything about every unit in the Army that hs been submitted to them. There's also pages on the web (unofficial) where unit...

Could somebody call me a welder? Got my hand stuck in that stupid square hole....auaauaaua

Here's a pic of my backup camera. Doesn't do low light/FLIR but it does help me line up with the trailer. The black thingy is the camera with a magnet base (uses a 9 volt battery) and the silver thing is the receiver/screen, which plugs into the cigar/aux plug in the cab. Mount the camera...

I live in SE Wyoming. What's a tree?:lol: Not much else out here either. Maybe if I could catch a herd of antelopes, I could leash them up and spook them.. Only problem I see is getting them to stop....

Very good ideas! Unfortunately, that project is a bit above my capabilities. Trailers are few and far between in this neck of the woods, especially that size and type. Getting the tank off the truck will take a pretty big hoist, which I don't have access to for such a project. As far as the...

The winch is going on one of my M-35s; it's only a 10K hoist. The M52, as near as I can find out, used a 20K winch.. The M52's data plate indicates it was originally WO/W. I'm looking at two possibilities: 1. find the original or nearly original 5th wheel, skid plates and assorted stuff to...

Update: Truck is a 1966 Diamond T based on physical evidence located on the truck. For reasons unknown, the records Carnac has are slightly different, and the title issued by the state based on the paper work received from the Government at the time of sale is utterly confusing. Since the...

got the correct lights for front and back. Also have a set of yellow headlights when it comes time to change over. Got the corect seat for the gunner/passenger; waiting to install until the cab's been detailed. Right now, it's #2 for maintenance behind the AF truck. Got a bunch of work to do...

I can hear the groaning all the way over here in WY! Kinda gives you an idea what a low rider Deuce looks like...not a pretty picture :oops:! Makes me wonder...All the deuces I've seen have only one set of springs. My XM-211 has 2 sets of springs on each side. Sort of like a super duty...

Thank you Carnac! Unfortunately the UICs are not available on the unclassed side of the web. I appreciate the information you were able to provide. Now I have enaough to get it titled! Jeff

M52a2 Hi CARNAC, hope you can help with this one: M52A2 WO/W Manufactured by Diamond T. Has the Multi fuel engine and the MWO was completed in 1989. Engine date is 1988 with no overhauls. a. Serial Number ----- 952413069 b. Registration Number ----- 8358326 c. NSN without dashes -----...

Hi Need some help. I've looked up every written source I can find and this is what I have so far: M-52A2 Tractor, 6X6 made by Diamond T. 5th wheel and all equipment rear of the cab was removed and a water tank was bolted in it's place. The title and the data plate don't match and I'm working on...

Water tank is shot. Once the hands can do some bolt removals, I'll be disconnecting it enough to remove it at the scrap yard. If someone wants it, PM me, I'm just going to dump it. If nothing else, I migt make enough from the scrap to buy some needed parts. I'll be pulling the water pump...

Not gona laugh except for the water spouts. Looks like something out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon:-D. I have to replace my M211 bed as well. Something REALLY BIG slid forwad and bowed the front too bad for repair. Solution: buy an A3 bed, take off 211 bed. Take off A2 bed, replace it with A3 bed. Put...

Not sure if it will stay a water truck. Out here where we live there's VERY limited fire protection. Grass fires can go from zero to plaid in just a few seconds (anyone hear about the fire in idaho? 13,500 acres burnt in 3 hours and 15 minutes). There is a pump in the back and some hoses...

Local fire district surplussed out their old water truck. price was right and got a few extras. Forgot the date..1973, not sure what size tank it is. Definitely a bubba (no offence bubba) job; but a bubba job that works, is a real good bubba job. Was a gasser, now a diesel. Not sure what...

I'm in the PGR when I can get out. I did particiapate in one ride. I took one of the Deuces. Since I was a slow poke, I got tail end charlie but it all worked out real good. Hope to get to more rides once i get my latest arm/wrist repair job finalized. The ugly dude on the left is me and the...

I will never say another bad word about 29 stumps. can't tell and don't remember...if you can say....what branch of the service is he in?
