Finally joined the forums after years of lurking, I know a handful of people here IRL. We're currently living in upstate NY but from southern WV -- hopefully returning soon. Not much in the way of MVs yet:
Vehicles:
1948 Willys M38 -- currently disassembled for restoration
1953 Reo M49 fuel carrier -- RIP, it was pretty far gone, then the clutch grenaded in a runaway
Equipment:
Early PE-95 genset, 5 kW rated, military version of an Onan WC4-7.5 with a Ford 2NY tractor engine
4x PE-75 gensets, 2.5 kW rated, two running, one in engine rebuild, one needing an engine
Non-Military:
1979 VW Rabbit diesel, daily driver
1969 Ford F600 dump truck
1948 Willys CJ-2A project chassis, probably going to diesel swap
1960's P&H welder/generator, 600A max, 300A continuous
1970's Otis Baker propane forklift, 5K lift, Continental F226 engine
Looking For:
Willys MB project
Bantam Jeep trailer
General Illumination tent light set, the old Korean War style in the wooden footlocker
Pretty good with general mechanical work, it's more a matter of time and space with respect to actually getting work done myself. I'm in the process of learning to weld so I can start doing my own sheet metal repair and, for now, non-structural fabrication. I don't yet trust my welds for anything that will pull weight down a public road!
