CO2 lover. Our "leaders" in DC have banned those REAL lightbulbs. Apparently that flourescents won't even START in cold weather was not of interest.

KATS has such I found this morning in a few sizes (most 4"x5" in various wattages). Need to measure the MEP003 pan.

The rubber chocks aren't worth the time it takes to put them behind a wheel of anything larger that a medium size trailer. Best course would to be the cast aluminum chocks as made/sold by Kochek for the fire service. If you what to go 1st class go with Zico folding chocks.

To locate/obtain thru the DOD parts channel need an NSN (I use DRMS for our Fire Dept).

Learning point - Aluminum oil pan. Mag heater doesn't work. So put it on the fuel tank. Warm DF2 is a good thing even with treatment. Finding local battery blanket is source is surprisingly hard.

Anyone have the NSN for the M105A3 surge brake unit? My Fire Dept has some M720 dollys need to acquire and install such so can pull with pickups.

Removable tank top is a standard feature on fire trucks.

SCRAP?? That's a crime. Those are too good to waste at the scrap yard. GREAT for storage garage etc.

Duh. I feel stupid. Of course Air Cooled = not freeze plugs. Battery blanket might be an idea but if charged 6TL should be ok for any temps in Iowa.

Anyone have any advice on cold weather ops of MEP-003 (practical vs TM). Our FD unit starts and runs very well. But is in an unheated "carport". Last night -10F Will be colder in Jan/Feb in NE Iowa. Need to be able to be sure will start and run at sub zero temp if power should go out...

What is the NSN for the tower unit? Looking for mast setup for antenna for my FD. That could work for us.

Typo. Yes High cube are 9'6" high. If you contract for a box (20' or 40' x 8' x8') you'll get a standard unless you order a high cube (cost you extra). Look at the containers you see going down the highway or on rail. Most are square. The High cube are noticable taller than they are wide.

That's what I thought would look like. I'm putting up new in the crate stuff. Will have to do some digging see if I missed the clevis somewhere. I have electronic version of TM. One of the worst mil TM I've ever seen. Photos and illustrations. And the "illustrations" sewn on the inside of...

RE: Bottom purlin for end walls (each side of the door post. Did you have the clevis that connects a short purlin to the foot of the end arch? How/where was it packed in shipping crate (end arch crate?)? Post a photo of what that looks like? I'm not finding such clevis in my all stuff.

It's a light/medium duty engine for parcel size trucks they are not 15l mountainmover. Idiots that cranked them up to 300+ hp broke them. At 175hp and in a small truck (like an M35) and with a brain they will do just fine. Certainly a reasonable replacement for the original engines.

Why? You're not going to "outdrive" the headlights on a M35. Need the reduction in electric load?

I hope you pointed out to Barney that he is a stupid as the junior senator from your Mn. Perhaps should run for Congress. "can never be to careful" what BS.

Cell phones? Go to the field and the stinking cell phones stay home with mom. If you need one, Uncle will give you one in OD. REMFs

Various jeeps used were better than walking, for 3 guys. And narrow. Little else to recommend them for military use. You couldn't give me an M151.

I can't believe would come clear from Ohio to Iowa for a duece and a half. Dodge is kind of interesting in the variety of vehicles you'll see in a pretty casual/open environment and tiny post. Reason is that, uniquely, is the DA "National Maintenance Training Center". Troops from all over...
