    Shipping an MK48....

    Is the USMC liquidating these? Many listed DRMS. What is replacing it or is it just Obama RIF?

    LEO + Municipal HMMWV Mods

    Not the 1st time LESO has been shut down. About 10years ago every crewcab pickup and Suburban in DOD surplus disappeared into the "chicagoland" area police/sheriffs depts. The auctioned off to support the donut/college fund. Wanna be Johnnie Rambo gets his hands on a HMMWV, black balaclava...

    P-250 mod 2 Hale Fire Pump

    Not my project. Found it with a search several years ago when I was looking for TM and info on converting P250 back to mogas. Nice job I thought. I'd certainly would put a foam eductor on (a Scotty is not very expensive). Huge improvement in performance.

    Police Dept. HMMWV

    Many (not all) FD can logically use HMMWV for wildland fire use. They need offroad go anywhere capability. But cops? It's just iindugence of the wannabe Johnney Rambo syndrome. Same that leads to the proliferation of "SWAT" teams at local/state/fed level and issue of automatic "assault...

    P-250 mod 2 Hale Fire Pump

    If Hale actually come thru with manual post the info. When I talked to them about 5yr ago they had nothing. Network with former Navy Petty Officers (damage control) and you may find a manual. The manual is about 2" thick and glue bound so not an easy to reproduce. See Our Unimog U1300L...

    M936 unavailable after winning

    I was told by a DRMS site manager that the $ govliqidation collects are used to operate DRMS. Doesn't go back the the branch, to DOD, to pay the debt or anything else. DRMS does not participate in gov budget shutdowns because they run of "off books" $. They get their i"inventory" as a...

    Cadillac Transporter Trailer

    These were the dollys that sold at Camp Dodge last week? I couldn't find anything. Look very Euro in design and I'm not sure they are mil standard equipment (or Army). The maintenance school at Dodge gets all kind of stuff to train troops on.

    What is a CHETT 10 ton truck?

    I think the M911 (8x6) was only unit refered to as a C-HET (an alternative to the M746 8x8 HET and replacing the M123). Transmission for the M911 is the Allison CLBT-750. I'm pretty sure this trans was not used in the HEMTT which was a generation newer than the M911.

    Trying to figure out how to move a container from Ft Lewis, Wa to NE Iowa for my Fire Dept. No/little $ available. 8x8x20 DRMO says 20000lb. Any bright ideas?

    M105 Cattle Trailer??

    This isn't rocket science. The standard smalltime (typical) farmer method for moving stock from the 1930-s thru the 70s was a stock rack on the back of pickup. wood 2x2 in stack pockets with 1x3 horizontal slats. As I recall by granddads extended about 4' above the height of the bed. It was...

    Trouble in Iowa with titles

    Will be interesting to see what Iowa DOT comes up. They decided need to have an emplyee inspect the truck. ONLY data plates are for 2009 Red River Reman. Obvious to anyone with a brain, it is not 3 years old or made by Red River. That and lack of a 17digit VIN is "confusing" IDOT.

    Wing Tip Fuel Tank ID wanted

    A BOAT? Ypu made them into a BOAT? The correct reutilization plan is to stuff a hotrod Ford Flathead and a drivers seat inside, attach two axles. Take to a salt flat (or frozen lake) and put right foot down.

    Trouble in Iowa with titles

    Iowa 321 perhaps is an issue as well. http://www.iowadot.gov/mvd/omve/iac450.pdf 450.2(6) Glazing. a. Windshields. Every motor vehicle shall be equipped with a laminated safety glass windshield that complies with and bears the approval marking of the American National Standards...

    Trouble in Iowa with titles

    Basically it will be a “Military Vehicle Certification of Compliance” form filled out by the applicant certifying the vehicle is in compliance with 49 C.F.R. Part 571 Federal Safety Standards and Iowa code 321 safety equipment. It should be a fairly easy process for most . Captain Mike Athey...

    wire size and distance

    If you shop some equipment auctions at machine shops, small manufacturers, etc (of the few left) you can find small transformer (in service) for scrap price or less.

    Trouble in Iowa with titles

    You got that right. The M925 I'm trying to title for my city is not complete yet. Apparently Iowa DOT is whining about safety stickers.
