This may be a surprise to many, I got some raised eyebrows at the GA rally on said topic, but NATO slave receptacles in the rest of the world are NOT specific to 24v. It is expected that the operator can read..... They are the same for 12 and 24v. Just like truck to trailer wiring : there is a...

I have seen a couple of pics of peoples winches that use a swivel hook instead of a fixed hook. None of the factory winches installed on military vehicles have swivel hooks. This is why: When using twisted rope (ie., all steel cable winch ropes), a swivel hook will allow the the cable to...

Edited first post - thanks. Doug - I am 100% green card compliant - but it's grey, not green! And I know how to say "Y'all".

Those are the newer 350cc version of the earlier Armstrong MT500. Harley bought the rights to the Armstrong - predominantly a motocross manufacturer in the UK towards the end of the MT500 run. Many of these can be seen at UK military shows with either 'Armstrong' or 'Harley' side panels, but...

Derrick - that flatbed looks a little 'down hill' (not a complaint - follow my train of thaught..) Maybe it would be a great trailer for a M916A1, which has a 60"+ fifthwheel height that makes any 'civi' trailer look stoopid. Though the TM only refers to M870/M172 lowbeds and water...

Someone please wake me up when you can add M984E1 to the list... ; ) Moowa ha haaaa (evil laugh)

As of July this year (2015), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) changed some of the rules relating to CDL LEARNER Permits and Testing. NY changed it's rules as of 8 July. [Mods - not sure if this is in the right spot or already covered] [THIS IS NOT A THREAD TO DISCUSS NEEDING...

Hey Sonny, as always, factory looking fab n install!, but I am wondering why you have a matching hole in the left 1/4 fender that doesn't have the self recovery winch infront of it, since they were both fab'd from scratch? Maybe you want symmetrical road poop on the frame!!! Will you be...

Well, I kept on looking and listening but never heard any 'Scottish' anywhere. Maybe he was going around in a parallel universe exactly half a lap of the trader area in front of me. I did however over hear a lot of strange accents... loads of y'alls, all y'alls, ser-thernn kind of something...

What's that saying?.... "It takes a real man to pull off wearing pink". No arguments here! LR "Pinkies", wonderful trucks.

First leg complete... Durhamtown to New Bern NC by 18:30.. rest of the 1000+ mile leg to be done Tue after doing 'inlaws' gutters. Had a great first time to GA. So glad I came down and met all y'alls wonderful folks. Best part was putting faces to 'screen names'. Thanks to all the 'staff' for...

Front levelwind parts - repair options Had a request for more info on maintenance. Question relates to replacement of part #14 Shouldered Shaft. NSN 3040-01-194-9884, part # 7994976-1 I do not know of the availability of this part, great if it is out there, though it is not 'out of the...

This event can't get here soon enough - We had snow this morning!

Jatonka's stuff Spoke to JT this afternoon, he's not going to make it this year BUT if you want anything he sells, get a'hold of him and I can go pick it up over the weekend.

Silly Question... Is there any kind of notice-message board/attendee list/site plan (camping etc.,) at the control tent, that can be used to inform people of other peoples locations? Not having been to this event before, naturally I am looking forward to finally meeting a load of folks that...

OK - only a few days to go and "spots" 2, 4 & 5 (of this thread) are "Reserved" and still empty. We are all waiting with baited breath for some fantastic last minute Advice/Words of wisdom/Encouragement from the illustrious trio of Clinto, Warthog and Gimpy. Your time to shine is here! [...

I noticed that too - a little crude though, running chains over bodywork edges rather than dedicated "D" rings etc. "MIND THE PAINT". You would have thought that the build specs for the trailer would have catered for all the expected loads! I do however consider the covered wheels of the A1 (&...

CB - I just came across this TM ( loading a Cat D8K on to an M870 ), it doesn't appear to be complete (fig 1, 2, 4, 5 & 6 are missing), but it's worth a look.. http://www.combatindex.com/store/tech_man/Sample/Const_Dozer/TM_55-2410-234-14.pdf It's interesting how they suggest running the tie...

Land Rover lights (and most UK mv's) I have a few take-off lights from Sankey trailers I civilianised. I can bring them if any of the Brit MV peeps need them. PM me for types/colours/condition/$ etc. Library pics:- + Bump for previous post #32:- ISU container shelf brackets. Med (rigid) tow...
