list any of the odd strange new ancient pieces lol of equipment that has been run out there and any kinda story that you can add  from driving tractors where the tires fall off to being stuck in a 65 foot boom when the truck ran out of gas and then wouldn't start (not fun) just stuff like this or anything you can tell us about should be some great reading

Not much to report on the strange, but have some cool things I've drove, rode, fired and such.

I've driven the old Army jeep, gamma goat, M113 APC (Armored Personnel Carrier), and the M2 Bradley IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle)

The Bradley - Cummins, VTA-903T, water cooled turbo supercharged 8 cyl, 4 cycle diesel, 600 hp, wieghs in at 25 ton.


I spent several years behind the 25mm chain gun (cannon), the M242 Bushmaster coaxial machine gun, and the twin TOW launcher as the gunner on this vehicle.

Getting ready for the range...


The downfall....you have to clean it after you have all the fun.  :)


Not real experienced with these, but have run a D4 CAT, a rubber track track hoe, standard rubber tire back hoe, and my small tractor.

Stew,
What's that you are holding? Looks like a old style greasegun?

The round is a 25mm Armored piercing, I had already loaded the high explosive rounds.

That is the old style grease gun Bill. I "borrowed" it from one of the mechanics. My M16 was a little too bulky for the cramped quaters in the turret. We didn't have the M4s (short version of M16) back then.
