Thanks, that's a good start.

Sorry, it's not your eyesight, but rather my oversight. Forgot to upload the photo.

Anybody here have any ideas about what make/model trailer this is? I haven't found any tags or other identification marks on it. Being a Jeep guy, the 5 on 5-1/5 bolt pattern was all I needed to want it.

A nutsert could be used for the third bolt, I'd think. Anyway, the purpose of a larger spacer would be to get some stability in the "tripod" setup that is now a bipod.

You may want to install the third bolt, too. Or make a substantially larger spacer setup.

Not necessarily. I've been chasing air leaks for a while now (not on a CUCV) and found that using a temporary electric fuel pump is quite helpful when it comes to finding them. And associated problems in the fuel system. When under pressure, an air leak can become a fuel leak which is much...

Haven't tried it myself (I may be brain dead, but not dead), but from what I've read, no it's not advised. Makes sense, though. With big old honking weights front and rear, one helps balance the other one out.

Do you mean someone who lived to tell about it?

You just had to remind about that one, didn't you peakbagger? Then again, compared to some other recent misadventures it wasn't all that bad. Especially while I was still allowed to have forgotten about it.

It's not fuel leaking out that is the problem, it's air leaking in.

Many Case buckets fit the 580C on the SEE. It seems to be quite common. To make the hydraulics accommodate a grapple will take a bit of extra work, but nothing big from what I understand. I bought a simple weld-on thumb for the times I need it. Which after getting a rock bucket with a grapple...

If you run the efficient type instead, it doesn't need to be as large.

MGs, huh? That was my final weapon of choice, a lightened and prepped in general MGB with a 308 c.i. V8. Still no match for AWD, launch control, paddle shifter, and other modern wizardry. Sorry to hear about the train incident. Please give your friend my best.

If overall height is critical, forget about the nominal tire size and go by the static loaded radius numbers instead. Either way, a typical "35-inch" tall tire, as in a 35x12.50, will usually fit fine even on a 10-inch wide wheel - if minor trimming of the very lowest parts of the fender is...

Kubota, both of them. She had a tractor when we first met - which was a big reason I made a move on her. And before someone asks (I've been asked many times), no, she doesn't have a sister.

For several years there was a race, sort of, but when she got a car that does 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and the quarter mile in under 11, I gave up. Even with less than 6.5 lbs./ hp, my quickest car couldn't compete with those numbers. At least not with me rowing the gears. Anyway, here's 3/4 of her...

I can get three of them in one pic with relative ease. The fourth one hardly ever leaves the garage. She also has two tractors and two utility vehicles. Unfortunately (for me) I still have her beat. Not in price, there I'm very far behind, but in number of vehicles.

I've been told "I'm tired of you talking about it, just buy it." Twice, so far. Of course, this from a woman who has four cars herself.

Hoses facing up if you want to trap crap in it, down if you want the crap to potentially escape. Sideways offers two similar results. But why not a real (radiator style) cooler?

Why are you limiting yourself to those two choices? There must be a gazillion different 8-lug wheels out there. Okay, several hundred anyway.
