Vermont Rally

[vtdeucedriver]

Well another VT rally is done! I got to meet a fellow SS member, tho i cant remember his name. He's got a sweet M725????? Thanks again for the Fire Ext!!! Send me a PM with your address.............I got something to send you.

Anyhow..............it was the 1st show with the M52A2. Got 3 miles from the show and I rolled in with a smoking right rear! I messed with it the next day making sure that it was not a stuck shoe. I did drain a 1/2 qt of water out of the brake booster. I though i had it licked so i did a quick trip, got warm but not HOT. Left sat night and did not hit the brakes once! made it to the interstate and I thought I had it licked for home but I got 15 miles with both right rear axles smoking and a very stiff pedal!! I got the truck to a friends house and will be there until i get back from TN in 2 weeks.

Oh well................aint MV's fun!

I was there too.... Jeff has done a good job on his 5 ton tractor and now with probably a new or rebuilt booster, he should be in the stop and go business... AirPak is probably too far gone for just a infusion of OHT...lucky it worked at all with all the water in the dry side.....

Most people didnt get to see the 5 each M1 Abrams Tanks that are on the Norwich University grouds, at the VTARNG "Armory of the Future" Oh well, membership has it's privliges!
One of the M1's was a TRUE M1, with the rifled 105mm.. The rest were M1A1's.

Actually we have all seen the M1's and the training facilities. Usually on thurs or friday, we are invited for a tour of the facility. Been there a couple of times.

I guess I will post my pics of the rally. Though not many cause the battery died in my camara
