Ord # identification....

Came across some original canvas in great shape but do not know what it goes to. Was able to pull this ORD # off of them, 8344803. Any ideas? Found that #8344802 and #8344804 are both M42 side covers. These look the same as what is in ORD 9 G-741 but the number is wrong. I also notice that some of t...

Re: Carb rebuild

just picked up a copy of TM 9-1826A and have to say it is very detailed. Nice thing is it covers all of the Carter built carburetors that the military used up to that point. Definitely worth adding to the TM collection.

Tuning up the Little Red Hen, An M5A1 Stuart tank!

Figured id post up some photos of our project that has been on going for a month or so now. Had some issues with the engines running very rich and some suspected fuel leaks.

Not sure the origin of it but it does look exactly like an artic top minus the sliding window. Just thought maybe it was worth a shot, i dont like it on the ...

Re: Flywheel bolts

might be worth checking out the local carquest. They carry doorman stuff. They are most likely to have something like that but you may have to con them into looking in the catalog.

Re: Armor at a machine gun shoot

Glad to get a great reaction here! Some other forums didnt like the shooting aspect of it. I know its not M37 related but it is MV related. Boy what a heck of a time, its amazing to hear and see the old girl alive!

Armor at a machine gun shoot

Got invited up to a Machine gun shoot in Casper, Wyoming this weekend. The owner of the Stuart tank wanted to have a full "crew" with the tank to put on a little show for the crowd and kids. "Hollywood" as he kept calling it. We trucked up the Tank on Thursday and stayed up there...

It looks like the total weight is around 500lbs. I think 4-5 people ought to be able to get it out. Were ...
