    Where To Spray Ether In The Motor To Get It Started

    My EUC is clear. I am GTG and am heading to get my HMMWV. The description said that they had to use ether to start the motor. I'm not familiar with the 6.2 (other than knowing the awesome reputation of it). Is there a port somewhere on the air intake that I should shoot ether into prior to...

    M1078 Newbie - Two Questions

    I like these and am thinking about bidding on one. 1. I believe these are Class C license drivable. Am I correct? 2. Will they let me drive this off the base after the auction and background check clear, or will this be like the hummers where I have to sign a document stating that I will NOT...

    Which Diesel Generator Would You Recommend or NOT Recommend?????

    I don't know why I didn't think to look closer at the single or 3 phase listing. Obviously no electrician here, but for a residence I think I have to have single phase.

    SF97 Question - Farm Truck Plates For Agricultural Exempt Owners

    Well I guess that's a good point. I don't remember plates on any combines, but Ive got Farm Plates on everything I drive out here. I liked the idea of the HMMWV because with a load as heavy as a full hopper of feed, combined with the terrain that I have to go over in a couple spots, the...

    SF97 Question - Farm Truck Plates For Agricultural Exempt Owners

    Off-road use is defined as granting reasonable allowances however in state law. Ever get behind a combine harvester moving from one field to another? I drove combines 30 years ago and can tell you they don't have turn signals or bumpers. I am going to mount a cattle feeder (like a large hopper...

    Deuce PTO - Anyone Know The Horsepower Made At The PTO?

    I have a 69 Kaiser with a Hercules multifuel diesel turbo and PTO drive winch on the front. On back under the bed I have another PTO spline and I would like to mount a PTO driven generator, but I need to marry up the horsepower at the PTO to the right genny. Anyone know how much horsepower...

    SF97 Question - Farm Truck Plates For Agricultural Exempt Owners

    I am looking to be 100% compliant with all laws and contractual agreements. I cannot find this specific question asked anywhere else..... In Texas we have "Farm Truck" plates. Will the SF97 mean that I have to get, or may get, Farm Truck plates for my HMMWV? I am not looking for any...

    Which Diesel Generator Would You Recommend or NOT Recommend?????

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have noticed that the vast majority of the ones at auction are "not running". I do NOT want to get into a deal where I am dumping cash into fixing it right off the bat. I know well enough about how military equipment is used to know that if it is not running, its...

    Which Diesel Generator Would You Recommend or NOT Recommend?????

    Ive been shopping GovPlanet for a good running trailer mounted generator for a diesel whole house backup. I want to be able to run at least one 5 ton AC along with the rest of the houses main circuits so I am looking for a 20 kW at least, probably more like a 30 kW or 40 kW. I see lots of...

    Scored My First HMMWV - Then Got Kicked In The *****

    Thought I did decent. Bought a 1990 AM General M998 HMMWV for just under $10k. Running. 6.2 Paid the bill, filled out all the paperwork, then found out that the govt will take upwards of 8 weeks to approve the EUC... Wow... I don't know how I missed out on that detail. Don't think I saw that...

    What Is The WIDTH Outside Tire to Outside Tire of a HMMWV??

    I seem to find the dimension of 71" on-line, but I wanted to ask. I won a HMMWV at auction and I have a car hauler with side rails. I want to be sure before I drive to the base that the HMMWV will fit on the hauler width wise... Thanks!
