    m101 - now what?

    I don't know what you were thinking. Let me know if you plan on selling it. I am near Ann Arbor. Chuck

    Just like reading Playboy. You bypassed the articles and went straight for the pictures.

    The cribbing is for when I am taking the suspension off and putting it on the ground. I may put the legs on just to disengage it from the tractor but they still need to come off again.

    I have a front end loader tractor. The loader should be able to pick it up. I will crib it also to make sure. I think it is a reason to go and get a wrecker.

    My "new" M185A3

    That is right, but better kitchen cabinets will shut the wife up. Can't put a price on that. She is still upset at the M146 trailers. It will be a couple of weeks before I can move them around to get them out of the middle of the back yard.

    Update-52's are getting closer to being on-and refurb work

    I notice a vibration when I tried to drive more than 52 MPH or 53 MPH. It felt like a balance problem. I planned to try to balance the fronts and go from there. I also want to look over my tires real well because it felt like one may be separating. I could do this look over while I balance them...

    Accessory drive seal leaking bad on cummins engine in M818

    When I got my M818 truck the paperwork said it needed a new oil seal on the front of the accessory drive. I confirmed this when I changed the front driver's fender. My new fender and paint job got a great anti rust covering of engine oil during my recent trailer pickup. I need to get it fixed...

    I am uncertain what will be the Clare ride just yet. It may be the deuce or the truck and trailer combo.

    I tried to his the M-60 in the back of the explorer but could not get it to fit and Five-Oh showed up right when we were leaving. Look like a cute blond. One of the trucks getting picked up was missing a door and dash pad. It was taken off by someone after the auction was listed so they filed a...

    I almost forgot. All my stuff has shipping labels from Kuwait.

    That is Gillespie 383 Green. It is cut with Xylene and I heard that is what gives it that semi gloss look. I put down some Gillespie red oxide as the first coat and it was very brown. I think it slightly darkened the Green. I got the paint from Rapco.

    I went to pickup my M146 trailers and the M101 Trailer. I got a lot of help and that kept me from having to make three trips instead of just one. TedG offered to help and I appreciate it but in the end I was able to get it done without him. Armada brought out his depot rebuilt M818 to help me...

    Those are better cabinets then my kitchen has.

    My "new" M185A3

    Ok. You meant Army/Seabees. Cool. I would be interested to see how the van body got on the truck or if it came like that. It would seem to have went through a lot of hands in just a few years. Are there any dates on the Corp of Engineers data plate?

    My "new" M185A3

    It has a two chamber master cylinder then two separate air packs so if one brake line fails you still have half your system. Usually they are split with one side going to the front and one to the rear. Ted, Seabees are Navy. Army has construction battalions but they are not Seabees. Sweet...

    chunks of metal in motor oil

    Impact? :shock: I would try an air ratchet instead.

    There I was. Minding my own business. Boom brake failure.

    I was checking my M818 out before making a trip to get my trailers on Friday. My son was pressing the brake while I was checking lights. All of a sudden, I got sprayed with something as I heard a woosh as my son released the brake. For a second I was trying to figure out how I got sprayed when I...

    Goose chase

    That looks like a real rats nest on the winch.
