I got to fly in one of those back in 91......they were moving tank turrets out to a range to use as targets and I covered the event for our post fishwrapper. The Crew Chief was nice enough to allow me to operate the winch they used to move the turrets.
A truly awesome machine....some odd...
Ok guys....we are cocked, locked and ready to rock.
Bama Lady is baking the last of the Official GA Rally cookies (I'm in charge of quality control).
I hooked the van/converter dolly up the the M927 and dayum it is loooooooooong.
I was going to do a test flight today but it was raining...
Clinto,
Thank you for doing the heavy lifting for the Hardball Convoy. I had planned to hit the ground running to make the connections. All I may do now is see if we can get some media coverage for the lunch event and some publicity for Heavy.
To anyone concerned about finances and having...
Military generators are designed for providing power without worrying about fuel consumption. The military has plenty of it....we don't.
I bought a 10K mounted on a trailer and was using it to run two drills while I was building a barn.
It sucked the bottom out of the fuel tank and I...
If anyone coming early has a roll of commo wire we need it for the PA system....we left last year's wire hanging at the old spot thinking we would be back there this year.

Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Accademy.:cookoo:
The CUCV series of vehicles will test your masochistic streak.
I hated them when I had to drive them in the Army and my opinion hasn't mellowed.
Good luck with that.:roll:
The first time you pinch the crap out of one of your apendages you will change your mind.
Ask me how I know.
If you still are determined to fix that wretched invention of the devil you can heat it up and melt a candle (made of parrifin, not beeswax) and let the heat suck the melted wax up...
Since I have been (self) appointed as the official Liaison for Instruction And Recreation (LIAR) for the rally and we are fast approaching liftoff I am posting some of the acts and seminars I have arranged for your edification and enjoyment.
Friday night will see the return of Buster Hyman and...
The best way to fix that abomination is to replace it with one of the crank up kind.
That particular outfit was designed by an idiot in cahoots with a moron.
Rracing is our resident guru on the Kitty Cat tranny.......if you can't get him by PM let me know...I have his number.
They sold a butt load of them out of PA the other day......I hope they didn't go to the scrapper.
Attention Advance Party.....remember that the MKT needs plenty of space since there are two trucks and trailers.
Also.............I am pulling a 32 foot trailer with a 31 foot truck (M927) using a converter dolly. I will not be able to back up more that a few feet. Please make sure there is an...
Weclome to the Green Iron Laughing Accademy.:cookoo:
The GA Rally is next week....be there or be square.
It's being held at a nudist colony ran by former super models.
Well....maybe I fibbed about that but it's still a lot of fun and if you bring enough cash I guarentee that you...
I will have about 20 sheets of laminated DOT approved glass. I don't want to bring any of it home so deals will be made.
I have a decent set of slave cables (has a bare spot) that the first 100 bucks (or interesting trade)will get.
I also have a bunch of stainless steel stuff that came out...
Another thing you have to consider is wash outs.....in swift flood water the roadbed may have eroded or been cut through completely.....you drive off in the shallow water and all of a sudden your front end drops off in a deep cut.....very bad juju.
When I was at Fort Campbell many years ago we...
