Well, I guess not being a painter - adhesion never even crossed my mind.
In my "day job" we put ink on paper and there are adhesion measurements that we do here regularly. Simplest one is a simple tape test and I would imagine that would be something to be done with paint as well. Stick...

Don't normally get to say it - but - Ain't that the truth! These are really neat trucks in stock form, but they aren't overrun with horsepower for sure. Of course going fast isn't really what they were built for either.

Welcome to the Outfit! There are quite a few of "the regulars" here that are down in Florida with you. Definitely worth looking into being part of the MV assocation too. That gives you more events and things to need to drive your truck to :)
Participating in parades is always fun too...

My first was the old M4 Tractor. Lots of loads.
Hangs off both sides of a standard lowboy and metal tracks on metal trailer is a lot like pulling a greased string out of a billygoat's butt.

You and @Action are both right. Yeah. The rivet isn't much but like a lot of other things - all it really does is keep honest people honest. And with a switch on a military dash - yanking out two wires and touching them together is like the locking gas cap.
Only concern that I have about...

I didn't know that @Third From Texas was in the K9 Corps :)
Maybe we need to upload the Smooth Operator Handbook to the TM Section...

Well Chuck... Guess I was so wound up in my excitement about the "hey drop it off at my place" joke that I completely forgot to look for a -10 operators guide. Good find and a real useful link too!
When I started thinking about unloading a tractor, I just kept thinking about the first time I...

Just have the driver drop it off and my place...
I would be happy to drive it off the trailer :cool:
In all honesty, the visuals out of the front isn't half bad. If you are backing it off the trailer you will be completely dependent on your hauler. Chances are he or she will be as...

So... I have a question. How $350? I found the lock pictured in this thread for $25 on ePay. Even without the padlock and adding shipping you should easily come in at well under a hundred bucks.
Did I miss something?
And this particular lock appears that it could be used on a M936 for...

It is hard to tell - but on this particular truck - do the tires stick out beyond the end of the frame? Where maybe if the tractor couldn't be pushed because a set of bumperettes would suggest that a driver could push something that shouldn't be pushed? OR maybe that these machines would...

Completely UNRELATED to a vehicle, but a matte finish on wood doesn't hold up nearly as well as a high gloss finish. The short version of WHY is that the matte is created with (as explained to me) lacquer thinner. Guessing there is an equivalent in water based paint.
It will suck a lot...
