Re: Early M151 shovel holder
I made 2 of these this evening. They're not perfect but I think they look pretty good considering they were hammered out in my garage. I don't plan on mass producing them but if someone needs one, I might trade for something. Rainman, you get a freebie. I'll be sending them your way. I tried to post pictures with photobucket but I can't make it work.
Re: Early M151 shovel holder
Hey Wayne,
Thanks Good to know you were able to get the pattern from the one I sent you. That original was part of a trade of parts I made with Hummerkiller a few years ago. Glad I could pass along HK's favor to me on to you.

Re: Early M151 shovel holder
What a great site. A lot of history is being stored here. It will take a better man than me, to put it all together for future restorers.

Re: Early M151 shovel holder
Ralph, Your picture archives are a treasure in themselves. I think you have more in country pictures that most of the news agencies. I was a loner and never took pictures until after I got out. Put that together with a head injury and those pictures are all I have to remember things by. Thanks

Re: Early M151 shovel holder
Got a box in the mail today. Inside I found my donor shovel bracket, and the reproduction ppauto made using mine as the pattern. For pounding it out in a garage, it's a very nice piece of work. Wayne, you must have sent me the nicest one. Thanks man...

You're welcome Rainman. My new shovel holder is welded in place and it looks like it's always been there. Thanks again for the loaner.
