Those wheels are much too wide. The fronts kept binding up and hitting the hood. I can almost guarantee that the drivetrain had additional stress as a result. I think the driver would've been in much better shape if he'd have followed the existing trail rather than breaking new trail.

I'll stick with the 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' philosophy. I don't add anything to the fuel tank on my M1009. The engine runs fantastic on ULSD. I wonder if your above quote is specifically related to vehicles designed for ULSD, DEF, and the other pollution control/emissions additions.

A few more details about the parade. We were lineup #61. Total of 84 entries. :shock: The parade started at 11 am. We rolled into the parade at noon! :-D

We had an absolute BLAST!!! :-) :clinto::jumpin: Flanking the stage with our MVs was REALLY COOL!!! 8) It's an all day event, but you can leave early if you need to. I didn't want to leave. Had too much fun! Even my daughter had a great time! We left a little after 5 pm. We had to get home...

My 1930 Model A is 6 volt positive ground. I have the hand crank in the trunk, which I can use in case of emergency. I prefer not to have that type of problem, though. If you hand crank an A engine the wrong way you run the risk of breaking your arm, wrist, thumb, shoulder, or elbow. :shock...

This is great information!!! :-) Thanks for creating this thread!! [thumbzup]

I knew what you meant, jasonjc. Your accidental typo gave me the giggle that I desperately needed this morning!!! rofl THANK YOU!!! As for the rest of you jokers, thanks for extending the giggle!! Now I have something funny to think of as I head into my boring morning meeting at work...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers!! Nice truck! :-) Where did you buy the magnetic holder in picture 13?

I've talked to many Marines that have never seen a Mite before. There's nothing else like them anywhere. I guess that may explain why no one understands them. Can you please post a bunch of picture of your M422A1? I'd love to see it!!! :-)

My 2cents + tax, for whatever it's worth. If your A1 has enough parts to restore original, please put your time and energy into bringing it back to its former glory. Paint it up to honor your unit. :-) There are so few running and driving Mites in the world. My wild guess is that there's a...

Thank you for all of your help with this event, Roger. It means a lot to me. :-)

I think we are the only group that is staging at Ace Cafe. I'm pretty sure the restaurant is closed during the parade. Ace Cafe has an entry in the parade as well. They are lineup #40. They are lining up on Orange Ave just south of Livingston.

I have Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac 31 x 10.5 x 15's on my M1009. I've never had a problem with the tires rubbing. Your leaf springs may be the cause of your clearance issue. They're probably flattened out, which lowers the height of the body above the axles.

I see you're in Delray Beach. All of my events are near the Orlando area. Are you still interested in learning about events?

Please read the statute and decide for yourself. :-) https://www.senate.gov/reference/resources/pdf/RL30243.pdf

Glad you can make it, Rick! :-) Please make sure you read the updates I posted on the Parade thread.

Long overdue bump. If I leave my M1009 at home I can make room for one vehicle in the 2017 Orlando Veterans Parade. Please let me know ASAP if you'd like to participate. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?171976-Sat-11-11-17-Downtown-Orlando-FL-Orlando-Veterans-Day-Parade&highlight=
