Hi Need some help. I've looked up every written source I can find and this is what I have so far: M-52A2 Tractor, 6X6 made by Diamond T. 5th wheel and all equipment rear of the cab was removed and a water tank was bolted in it's place. The title and the data plate don't match and I'm working on...

Water tank is shot. Once the hands can do some bolt removals, I'll be disconnecting it enough to remove it at the scrap yard. If someone wants it, PM me, I'm just going to dump it. If nothing else, I migt make enough from the scrap to buy some needed parts. I'll be pulling the water pump...

Not gona laugh except for the water spouts. Looks like something out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon:-D. I have to replace my M211 bed as well. Something REALLY BIG slid forwad and bowed the front too bad for repair. Solution: buy an A3 bed, take off 211 bed. Take off A2 bed, replace it with A3 bed. Put...

Not sure if it will stay a water truck. Out here where we live there's VERY limited fire protection. Grass fires can go from zero to plaid in just a few seconds (anyone hear about the fire in idaho? 13,500 acres burnt in 3 hours and 15 minutes). There is a pump in the back and some hoses...

Local fire district surplussed out their old water truck. price was right and got a few extras. Forgot the date..1973, not sure what size tank it is. Definitely a bubba (no offence bubba) job; but a bubba job that works, is a real good bubba job. Was a gasser, now a diesel. Not sure what...

I'm in the PGR when I can get out. I did particiapate in one ride. I took one of the Deuces. Since I was a slow poke, I got tail end charlie but it all worked out real good. Hope to get to more rides once i get my latest arm/wrist repair job finalized. The ugly dude on the left is me and the...

I will never say another bad word about 29 stumps. can't tell and don't remember...if you can say....what branch of the service is he in?

Just wait, they'll start putting an expiration date on your birth certificate. The only thing good about the state of Kalifornia is....dang, can't think of anything. All the foks that had money and could leave, did. They're currently screwing up the states of Oregon, Washington and Colorado...

Good point, same boat. Shock value is only that which is created when one realizes Grandpa was as just as human as the rest of us.

You'd actually be shocked (at least I was:shock:) at what Grandpa considered "adult materials". And to have kept them for 60+ years? Oh boy.:oops:

belive me when I say, the ladies that were drawn on the bombers were drop dead gorgeous. And also believe me whn I say, the deuce pin up thread will have a definite challenge to "creativity" should i post. Sorry for being a bit hesitant on posting the photos. Some folks get real excited if...

Hi I'm posting this thread to gather your opinion on posting pictures of B-29 nose art obtained from a deceased Soldiers effects. Some of the pictures can be quite racy as was the tradition at the time. Only those that are properly clothed (enough so your imagination has to fill in the details)...

What was the question in the first place? Dang, now i got to go back to the begining to see if i can give a real answer. I'll get on it as soon as I get back from a MV retrieval mission. And jets1959 is 100% correct, never throw any hardware away. you'll need it, someday.:popcorn:

Plebney switch is used to initiate the collection of rotor wash and flight line. Since both items are difficult to obtain, specialized materials are called for. The plebney switch starts up the A S H receiver, which in turn begins previously mentioned processes. The A S H receiver is followed up...

Dang, good landing! Too bad we didn't get a video so we could rate it. Just from the picture of the tracks, I'd say at least a 7.5!:beer:

Interesting place to put the ammo can. Does your truck have the mount on that location? Mine has a pad(?) or mount or something or other. I greatly dislike to previous location of the fire extinguisher (under the seat) so I mounted it there. Sorry, I'll post a pic later on. Now if there's a...

You know it, Scooby just don't get the respect he deserves:beer:

That will definitly go on the save count! Scooby Doo lost on the freeway:shock::shock:, the horror of it!!! I got one to, but I had to buy it.:)

Roger that CARNAC. I've been the data base controller for some projects and the data is only as good as the people who contributed into it. I like tough projects and this one's got me challenged. Using the current slang, I don't want you to think I'm "dis'ing" your work, which is priceless...

OK, thank you for those picks. I'd love to have that crane though..oh well. Still doesn't answer the question on where it came from. I'm coming up blank for now. I still think there is an answer. More than one truck was bought on that contract. Two of mine were also part of the contract...
