I deny everything and demand proof. :P
Oh wait.......there are two deuces and a M52 with van trailer in my yard.......guess I am GUILTY AS CHARGED. :jumpin:
We are in the process of planning a joint event to be held at the Iron Mike Museum in Columbus, GA.
Tentative plans have it next spring or therebouts.
The museum is operated by SS member Papabear and his partners in crime.
It located near Fort Benning and offers a lot to the MV enthusist.
We...
I filtered some WMO through two bluejean legs put together.
When I was through there was a lot of crud inside the "filter".
Seemed to work good but i prob need some real fine filters too.
ABANDON HOPE ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE
RESISTANCE IS FUTLE, YOU HAVE BEEN ASSEMILATED.
You have entered a time space continuem where green iron is the object......nooo...make that the obsession of all your fellow addicts.
Your nomal friends will forsake you and shake their heads, your neighbors...
My former unit had a brigade there so I spent a lot of time at "Camp Swampy". :D
I've picked up there before and had almost zero trouble with the GL folks. [thumbzup]
When I picked up my wrecker and two deuces I had to deal with GL and folks from the MS Nat Guard. Appearently some items are...
M35A2
PROS:
Built like a tank and runs on almost anything flammable.
Can be push/pull started and will run with dead batteries (or no batteries at all)
Can be worked on by anyone with basic mechanical skills using simple tools.
Can be overloaded to the extreme and still pull Hell's half acre.
If...
I get it at a convience store enroute to my job.
There was another place selling it for 3.50 a gallon but they are habitually out (maybe someone else discovered the secret).
My price for fuel is about 2.25 a gallon if you count my time and effort to strain the veggie.
Four weeks of running 1/2 veggie and 1/2 kerosene (4 bucks a gallon) and the Ranger is running great. No problems starting so far.
I am going to build my heat exchanger and switching system as soon as I can so I can cut down my overhead.
If I can get more clean oil I will be converting a deuce...
This is something I would like to try in my spare time (HAHAHAHAHA).
It would be great just to have the knowledge just in case the fuel situation gets worse.
I think it would work on a diesel...I have seen Detroit diesels that ran backup generators at my old unit configured to run on natural...
What he said. If you know how to split shift low and high its like having two extra gears.
Pulls a lot better when you have a load.
Putting it in low range at low speeds also keeps it from bucking and jumping around and to me it seems to steer easier.
I have met Larry ("Papa Bear" on SS) who is one of the movers and shakers of the museum.
He and the whole crew are good folks.
We are working with the GA MPVA and the Dixie Division (AL) of the MPVA about holding a big event next spring.
Columbus has a lot to offer for us MV oriented folks...
Helen was a great place IMHO and the time frame works for me. I have seven days off each month and they fall at the end of the month.
I also have to consider fuel cost and the fact that I will probably be driving the M52 which is slow and sucks fuel.
That being said I will make every effort to...
I laid my 275 gal "tote" on it's side and used a pressure washer to clean out the gunk inside.
I have a portable 12 volt pump with filter on it. I use it to pump WVO and WMO and it works like a charm. Got it from Northern Hydrolics.
When you pump out of a container make sure to stop about 5...
