Politics and guns - REALLY! Rather than hit the "Report Post" I thought I'd give my 2c.... I too am in "UpState" NY, but I feel that your post crosses the no political posts line and the firearms line on this - a military vehicle forum............JUDGES? How about someone saying "we should...

Silly question, but why do you need one that is better than stock? (Before someone slams you for thinking you are smarter than the people who designed the engine and don't realise your situation) .....Are you pulling more cfm's (with a Turbo)? ....Do you want the 'washable' kind so can save...

Post 193, pic #7 :- Very nice touch that you welded on the 'D' ring with the 'Made in USA' pointing out (may have been done to stop the raised letters dinging the paint if reversed). I am assuming that the epoxy primer can be done in chilly weather - what kind did you use? Beyond...

A working platform - that makes so much sence!

Not having been in the Canadian Army, I will stand corrected, BUT - I'd hazard a guess that it is for additional storage - maybe. Aussies did the same with their 5 tons - sometime a water Jerry can, sometime other stuff....

Fab'd Wrecker Ground Spade Clamp Made a clamp for the M816 Wrecker ground spades to go on the front end of the boom. This is a weld on bracket that will be fitted in the spring then painted propper green. Clamped position ____________ 'Open' position...

Ditto that! and what did the Holmes gear come off of - that is exactly what I need for my project! Pics pics pics!!!!

Wonderful talent. Nice job. I'd like to temporarily hijack the thread a little - kind of related and didn't want to "waste" a new thread. I am looking for an 'artist' - hopefully the title may have appropriate 'visitors', who can draw a cartoon or characature of someones face (a film...

Actually "they" didn't go away from this rigging - it was done to ALL the M816s that the Aussie Army had - ironically, the operators didn't really like it so it was pretty redundant other than for hanging the hook on! I understand it was supposed to be for rigid (a single straight) bar or "A"...

Like this Jeff...? Te hee

I was kidding about the trade mark - but for all readers of this post we will know you were the first one with the cool idea!

You can gamble that driving by an 'open' weigh station will not result in "poking the sleeping beast" as you will probably be mistaken for a 'Regular' driving by, but if the long hair, beard, civi plate, beer belly or gray hairs get spotted they will chase you down and have you 'grabbing paint'...

Well it looks like we are too late, you have already mounted it! BUT, it does look like a secure, simple mod so 'well done'. Get your trade mark on it quick. The only comment I would add is not to put attatch hook directlyto the shackle, but add a 'weak link' - as per the original cable...

This may help.. A very helpful S/S member recently went to a big truck breakers for a '70s part I needed, then blamed me for costing him a bunch of beer tokens when he spotted 'had to have' work lights off of municipality plough/work truck - since they were also '70s, they were steel. (No...

Other than a little of everyone elses reasons, I think posts 48 and 50 hit the nail on the head for me.... and I was surprised it took so long to come up with that reason. When it's been your life, work, day in day out, chances are you want to go the other way for your recreation. Agreed, not...

No, otherway, Cooperstown direction.

Just South of where they have the band pagent then. We do that each year as well. Well that's a whole lot closer! Only 50 miles from me.

:-| Now I am a little confused!! (and that's not hard to do) nor am I trying to infer you are Amish or anything (travel by horse n buggy!) - but Binghamton Syracuse is about an hour, straight up I 81 (~70 miles)! You do not need to explain if you are trying to keep your location below the...
