Talk:M425 and 426 Tractor Truck

Move to a newer talk page

Hello, Corjan, let’s move here for now? I was thinking of military Macks a little while ago, and tried a lot of little infoboxes here: [1]. (I often post things, then take them down right away). Then I worked hard to get this. Little infoboxes are probably illegal here, who cares? Nobody deletes as much of my stuff as I do, just doing it is my fun. And I think this stuff looks good.

I was thinking about doing an infobox for each series, then a section on each? We need someone with good American English grammar who can write. No English English, these are US trucks. My stuff is just a bunch of industry phrases strung together. Maybe You can steal stuff from other articles and make it fit? Grammar and spelling people wander thru sometimes, maybe one will clean up what we can’t get. Or not.

I found “American military vehicles of World War I: an illustrated history of armored cars, staff cars, motorcycles, ambulances, trucks, tractors and tanks / Albert Mroz” somewhere online. Mack ACs? Plus your Crismon (he sure has written a lot).

Do you have any M123/125 10 ton stuff? Sort of the end of the line of the NOs. I have no idea what LOGSA is, and Archive.com asks for $$$.

Talk to you later. Sammy D III (talk) 19:47, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello Sammy, as u r a big fan of the M123/125 let's start to make an article. I have six or seven TM's for you.

I am uploading one now (the -10, good to start with), but it is getting late here. I believe it is 7 hours earlier in Chicago? LOGSA is the Logistic Support of the Army in Alabama. Archive.com can be downloaded freely by me. So tell me what you want and I'll try to get it.

The manual is uploaded right now. This is the link: https://www.scribd.com/doc/249798097/TM-9-2320-206-10-MACK-123-AND-125 . Enjoy, I'm going to sleep now! Corjan de Wit (talk) 22:23, 10 December 2014 (UTC) Sammy thanks again for the infobox. Next will be M123/5? Corjan de Wit (talk) 09:47, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

There some other M123/5 manuals now on my site and do you know this Crismon? (I have put it in a private album so you can download it if you want to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Corjan de Wit (talk • contribs) 11:44, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello Corjan. You move faster than me, I am trying to keep things strait. I have 206-10, 10HR, 20, and 213-34 (Cummins V8) so far. I enjoy reading the 10s. I see that you have some tractor stuff, and… It is just too much too fast, but I am getting there. They put your name across the bottom, in the way of the title. Some are checked, I think I have recently gotten them, but some I take don’t get checked. You just have so much stuff.

I got that Crismon in the past (more than a month ago), it was so good that I bought it in paper, much easier for me. I am trying to match it up to the 2800s, which often don’t have names. I sometimes use 2800s for the infoboxes, they have plenty of info for them. I try to use either a 2800 or a 10 for all the info in a box, not use two sources for one box.

Here I am going to use the left photo for the infobox, doesn’t leave much of a gallery, but I think the boxes look better with one.

I see that You put some tractor stuff up, I will get there, but I don’t know much about machines, and there are just so many models. With this stuff I am using a lot of steno books (6x9 ruled with wire across the top). I took a shot at FMTVs, and have a lot of HMETT stuff from You, so sometime…

The love of my life is coming home, back to the real world. Later. Sammy D III (talk) 21:18, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello Sammy, as there are too much manuals I use the army-system like firstly a album for 23, than within that album albums for 2300,2320, one for 2330, 2350. Within 2320 etc. I make for example 2320-201 etc. Works perfectly. Hence the albums on scribd.com.

I am going to put the TM9-1783B on the site and make an article for the M123/5. Perfect if you use the pic of the M425 for the infobox. I will try to find others. Perhaps on defenseimagery (don't know if I can use them here). Corjan de Wit (talk) 12:12, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

P.S. -34 will be on the site in a moment and I will add -20P and 34P and TM 55-2320-206-20-1 from LOGSA. That all! :Corjan de Wit (talk) 16:18, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

All done now! Corjan de Wit (talk) 16:48, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

If albums are like folders, that is a good idea. That could be a hobby in itself, how to group what. Example: Doyle is easy, but it only has tactical trucks. Crismon is a mess, but he is trying to do everything. Arranging by weight has problems, a 6x4 has twice the load rating as a 6x6, even though they are the same truck. Same with describing just by drive. Numbers don’t work. Manufactures don’t work, everyone makes everything. How do you stop stuff from being all over? A real challenge.

M123? I have some ideas. Sammy D III (talk) 01:41, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Hey, if you are still watching, I think I will play with some of these. I have kept your stuff, just switched order and took out repeats. I'm thinking of making some look like those others, with sections and stuff.Sammy D III (talk) 22:21, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

inches to feet

I have been told that feet are easier than inches for many people. Sammy D III (talk) 23:53, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
