As to the loose wheel bearings, the M151A2 was notorious for them backing off. Set them exactly as per the manual with the preload....anything less and they work loose.

You guys will have to excuse my crappy spelling for the next few months...I write these on a cheap laptop from a dusty and dark weatherhaven tent overseas, and with the unreliable internet service, I often don't risk re-reading before posting for fear it will vanish altogether.
There isn't much at my old unit that wasn't bashed around a bit. Hoods are always sunk in from walking on them etc. None of the marks on this thing are atypical.

I wasn't entirely sure about the C/S. But hey, I ended up getting the CO of 1 SVC BNs old Jeep. That in itself is nostalgic none the less.

Well Rob, I hope you haven't been off running to the bunkers too many times. From what i've heard, the Haji's aim with the 107s and 122s hasn't improved since my last trip over there.
