Cabell,
How bad do you want those things? I will try to help if I can. There were still 8-10? M37s there on Saturday (more of them than anything else) , but it looks like they are next in line for the ride on a" flat bed hearse " :(
To be honest with you, my m37 knowledge is weak. I'll...
Update: Saturday morning - Arrived at the site bright and early with tools in hand, but the scrapman never showed. I guess he took the day off, . . . can't say that I blame him. It just stinks when someone tells you they will be there, and then they leave you hanging. :?
We looked around some...
Yes Jim. Well actually, the boat is on a flat bed trailer beside the bus. It just looks like the boat is sitting on the bus.
There are at least two boats, maybe three (can't remember) . . and I don't believe they were on the Grim Reaper's list.
Ok, the trip is on for tomorrow morning - It wil be Myself, Todd, and another local guy who got wind of the news through the M715zone forum. Wish us luck.
ok, let's see . . . .
- Boatcarpenter, That clip should be an easy one.
-Bill (DS), I agree. It's a darn shame that someone would...
I stumbled upon a local MV graveyard today. Some of the stuff is for sale, but not all. Deuces, M715, M37, and maybe a couple of jeeps. What is for sale is headed to the scrapman immediately.
Guys, sorry for the short notice, but I just found this today. I just made it before it got dark...
Hey guys, bomar and rdm make a good point. It would seem that we would want to avoid running up the price on fellow members.
I have, myself, in the past posted links to auctions that I thought were relevant to some topic being discussed. I will refrain from doing that in the future. Mostly...
Hmmm, . . . . 10 lug wheels - that would seem to suggest a 5-ton chassis.
I guess the "X" in front of the "M" (XM956) means that we can't really apply our normal identifiers. (x= experimental)
Wow Gerhard,
That is one helluva' fancy telescoping cylinder you have there. -requires just a straight push on the bed, no linkage or pivoting arms needed.
Is that from a truck application, or did you adapt some type of industrial surplus cylinder?
I bought a 5-ton Airpak rebuild kit a couple of months ago. I received the item - New in the box as advertised. No complaints with the item itself. The shipping wasn't exactly speedy - took about two weeks. Shipping cost was fair - $5.55. His feedback rating seems quite good.
There was...
Many Thanks to Bjorn and Mike!!!!!
The PS Magazines are cool. Brings back old memories of lounging around in the armory hiding from work.
They are interesting and easy to understand with all of the cartoon images. - . . . good info to supplement the TMs.
This kinda' stuff is what makes the...
Joe,
I'm glad to see that you have a good sense of humor. (noting all that firepower in your avatar)
It's too bad that I don't make it up to Marysville anymore, I would have to buy you a beer. (My brother lived in Ostrander until last year, and I had a girlfriend who worked at Roby...
. . . Just reread my last post, and decided that it seemed like a personal attack. That was not my intention. I know that most of us are here to learn and share information about Military Vehicles - a subject that we are passionate about.
However, in our haste to help, we must remember –...
Blatant plagiarism
Here is Bomar’s source:

I applaud all of the members here for the wealth of information that is shared, and I think it is great that we are all able to help each other out. . . . . but when you copy someone...
Jed, that stinks, I hope you can work something out.
In the interest of making sure this doesn't happen again, let me make the following observations/ comments.
The subject of Berg tires has come up many times here. If you don't believe me, just do a search on "Berg". There have been at...
Just happened to stumble onto this during a routine "military vehicles" search on ePay-
