Thanks for the input all! I think we will try to tackle this thing on a free-weekend. I have to admit, the operators manual makes this thing sound like a hand grenade with no pin. LOL "If you dont do this....you could die. However, if you dont do this, this, that, and this,...well...you could...

To be honest I never really thought about flushing the system! LOL I think you could still complete the task using another plug on the block and the other valves. I suppose if I were to check the sytem flow with the small valve on top of the heater block, and I find the flow is restricted, I...

As stated above: 1. Check all hoses for proper fitting, holes, etc... 2. Check the coolant level, do not open when the engine is hot (top off if low, CHANGE if nasty) Down the road you may want to invest in a coolant filtration kit 3. Ensure that the hoses on the heater leading all...

Hello All, Some friends of mine recently bit the bullet and picked up one the military steam/pressure cleaners from GL. The unit is manufactured by the American Kleaner Corp. , it seems to be all in-tact, appears completely un-used, with 1 hr of operation on the hour meter. All hoses, wands...

Sounds like an adware strike to me. Many of the "critters" that find their way in to your machines can track your browsing habbits, watch what you do, where and how often you visit etc. They can be programmed to "pop up" at a critical time, during the initial visit of a familiar website (due to...

Ditto! Does ANYONE know what was under the tarp? I get the feeling it was one of those lucky mismarked buys that end up being worth a fortune. There has to be a member here who can identify those things!

Somehow, the word "jealous" just doesnt seem to be strong enough......the truck looks fanatastic! Nice to see it out and about, glad you are enjoying it! :-D

WOW! Small world! I didnt know I had steelsoldiers members that close to me! Its nice to meet you guys, as a matter of fact I DO remmber talking to her about your truck now that you said that! Awesome!, We will have to make it a point to do a cruise some time. I have a bunch of buddies in our...

Thanks for the kind words all, it really helps. Its nice to be a part of this family, its comforting. The parade was a real blast, I think there will be 2 MV`s next year, going to try to pull the float with my buddy`s M818, and then I`ll be demoted to the "cheer wagon" haha as if riding your...

Hey all, I hope you all are doing well. This past weekend, I ventured in to my first parade operation in my deuce. I pulled the TEAC (Technology Education Association of California University of PA) float in our homecoming parade. I graduated from the Tech Ed program there a few years ago, and...

That`s it! Pretty awesome piece of construction equipment.....I wouldnt mind putting one of those in my fleet ( I can think of some practical applications in the rougher neighborhoods!)

I believe the SEE series is being phased out by the HMEE (High Mobility Engineer Excavator) built by the JCB corporation.....same purpose as the SEE but in a more stout package and i think it has a 60mph top speed too. I had a rare opportunity to sit in one of them at the 2008 CONEXPO equipment...

Hey man welcome to the site! I`m about 30 minutes from you in California PA! I have a deuce, and know many friends in our area who have MV`s. Good luck on finding an MV that fits you and your budget! Glad to have you aboard!

I went classic because of the fact that the truck is a 1985. In order to qualify as an "antique" the vehicle must be 25yrs old or older, I fell just short of that cut off. Also, with classic, I am a bit more free as to where and when I can drive it. You used to live in Finleyville? Thats...

Hello all, I just picked up my classic plate paperwork from the Notary. The DMV rejected my application because of the scratches on the front bumper, and said that my paint has a "blue tint" to it. I admit the paint is somewhat faded, but I didnt think it was THAT bad. Anyway, I have a few...

Thanks all!........ZB, I am about 30 min. south of "the burgh" My truck is actually being stored at my friends business, Kiefer Coal & Supply in Bethel Park (Right outside pittsburgh) I live in Roscoe, where the truck will eventually be kept.

I installed the 1/4 turns for several reasons. First, the control valves that were on the truck were in poor shape, most of the wing nuts were bent or broken so they were very hard to use. Secondly, it makes it that much easier to isolate the heater system if i ever need to do any work. Other...

No Problem Ferro, anytime....like I said, if you need anything else dont hesitate to ask! Just an FYI, I remember reading that there were other, non-original, headsets that could be adapted for use with the VIC-1 system (at least I think I remember) Im sure they are much more expensive, but if...

Ferro, Thanks for the comments! I got my headsets from Ebay, theres always VIC-1 stuff on there. I am also very sure you could get them from members here who would be interested in selling. They are not very expensive. As for your question about the cable, yes, I cut one end and wired each...

Next on the list, front lock-out hubs, whip antennas, and Im thinking Line-X the bed and cab floor......
