A friend of mine used a caterpillar wrist pin for his 4wd, and that was pretty cool too.

I was actually considering it now, but I can't find where I put the thing!

My '96 150 4X has the cue on the shifter, and the 8 on the transfer shift. Had an extra cue left over, it went on my lawn tractor, 'Lil Mack.

that's a good price. It makes me want to machine an adapter for a threaded ball. Anyone interested if i make a few?

...i know the struggle, lol. Do you have a mil surplus store to find another one? Between those and rummage sales, you never know what kind of cool stuff you might find.

Probably, but it would be much neater to use the one I found as a kid!

I'm sure I've got it somewhere, likely up in the attic.

Your M26 is available and the Mark !! like I used is also. The Pineapple to me is a real recognizable grenade but it has to be in OD.

When I find it, I'll toss up a photo. Mine is missing the plug lid and all that, obviously, but I'm okay with that. Just the shell alone would make for a cool/comfy ****.

I've lived on many military bases growing up, and you could find things where you wouldn't expect them!

These are all really cool. I like the simple ball with the shift pattern the best. For some reason, i couldn't get the top link to work though. It makes me wonder how much people can spend on some of these.
