Greetings from Hamburg USA

Post by Captain Crank »

Minnesota that is.

This is one of the finest sites I have ever lurked upon. Time to say HI.
I have a 353 coming and discovered this treasure trove of information while trying to figure some CCKW stuff out. Very helpful.
Should have the truck delivered within a month or so.
When I actually do have possession of it I will post up some pics. It's sweet.
Seems like a bunch of stand up guys here.Image
I recognize a few names from other forums....... ruh roh :roll:

Cat Man,

Thanks for the welcome.

I am about 70 mile outside the wire, ~ 40 miles west of Metro.

May have a party next year to celebrate some shop improvements I am currently undertaking. I'll let you know.

Gotta empty it first, just where did all this stuff come from? :shock:

Do you ever get to Kronlunds fall shindig?

Keep Em' Rolling,

John

We recently completed a major event here and had help to unload and set up from the local USMC detachment. They asked the same question, "where do you guys get all this GI stuff? More and better than what they have in the company?

The Spooner Sept get together is a must. I am detailed to demo Kevin's WWII Caterpillar D-7 Dozer. Always make that one.

Welcome to the CCKW gang.
