As I recall standard US sub engine from at least the 20s thru WWII was a Fairbanks Morse running generator sets (Diesel electric system). Pretty much the same engine widely used to power generator at a host of small municipal power plants. Properly maintained would/will run forever. Local...

DOD (primary user AF) has purchased/purchased very large qty of crewcab Chevy/Ford pickups 3/4 & 1t 4x2 and 4x4. The CUCV was nominally a tactical vehicle, a crewcab is hardly suitable for crosscountry use as much less maneuverable and is really an improved road (gravel) light duty truck...

You want to try towing a wiggling snake, hitch 2x M720 dollys in train. That makes an entertaining 150mi @ 25mph trip (90F in July). Did it twice in a week. Not again.

Re: RE: What radio was in the Fast attack vehicles? I was a PL with 2-60Inf (CAB-H) in the late 80s our scout platoon had those POS FAVs (ok but went thru very expensive engines faster than Clinton does "girlfriends"). All had PRC77 in amp/vehicle mounts. PL and PSgt had a 2nd net which I'm...

Thanks for the input (and thanks for sharing). Read thru the thread. You drive a truck for your local vol. fire dept? You volunteer for drivers program instructor? If you stand up likely they'll take you and if you do a little leg work you can get them thru FEPP whatever DOD truck your...

M923 transmission is apparently an MT 654CR

Nonsense. Post away. Anyone that wants to bid, go bid, or not.

Motorcycle/lawnmower batteries are not long lived though. I'd recommend adding a 2nd battery box and fit 2 decent "normal" size batteries in series. At least you'll be getting 5+ years out of the batteries rather than a couple years (and you'll get a battery warranty). Less expensive in the...

Did you have lights and brakes on the towed vehicles? Or how?

RE: Deuce prices... DOD is dumping large quantities of the duece. And they are going out of Guard/Reserve and AF (generally good condition). Large supply lower prices.

Re: RE: Re: compressor Personnally I wouldn't waste 2minutes with one of those boat anchors. If you're going to go to the effort of changing out the engine go with something made in the last 20 years. A nice little Briggs is not that expensive. Or even a Honda is not out of line for the...

Re: compressor Wrong model compressor The Zwick has a Robin (Subaru) engine. That one is pretty rough looking but a VERY nice compressor, the best of the similar units that I've seen. Recoil starter is missing. Should be easy to get engine parts, I think Wisconsin is the US distributor for...

I'm already waiting for the M1070s to hit FEPP. Stretch about 10ft add a 10000gal water tank. 2000gpm PTO pump. NOW you're talking about a fire dept rural tanker/tender. Lets see what am I doing in the year 2037? I'll be 75 will probably need a forklift to get in the cab and will be...

ORRR perhaps Sp4 Baggodonuts was smart enough to not allow the inspection of his work area - Portable TV, X-box, stack of smut, 50lb of poggy bait, 4 cases of various beverages, and an inflatable friend in the bunk.

M911 OAL 369" WB 235" OAW 114"

As other points made. But drives very easy, cut angle not so tight so ditch to ditch making the corner of a rural gravel road. I've not pulled an M747 trailer (now there is an appropriate Mil desgnation). Combined GVWR is 192,000lb (Tractor only - 85000lb on 4 axles). BUT remember the new...

Re: RE: lights OK in San Francisco. Don't ask, don't tell.

10ft is a bit puny for a truck the size of a duece. How about a real plow. Easy to find a used municipal snow plow in 11-12ft range.

You should be able to get it moved for no more than $3/mi. Some work and likely less, if the trucker can be bothered to look for another LCL. Eastbound a lot more empty flatbeds available than westbound.

Plate #2 does not look any different from some I saw on Army trucks circa late 80s. Active duty vehicles get data plates replace in BN motorpool.
