Hi Have I got a document for you it was put out by FEMA back during the energy crisis to show farmers how to convert tractors to run on wood chips. Here is a link to web site that is talking about it and at the bottom of the first page is a link to down load the entire FEMA report quite a...

Hi Could someone point me at the thread that explains how to embed Youtube videos. Tried searching but if you include the word "embed" in search you get too many responses with many of them being post that have embed youtube videos. I am somewhat perplexed as sometimes I can embed a video...

Hi All In the vain of trying to track down the source of noises that occur with MVs. The truck in question is a 1945 Canadian Military Pattern CMP model HUP Heavy Utility Personnel. Truck had a complete overhaul about 3 years ago I've owned it since 1979 and been driving regularly since 1980...

Hi Justin Nicely done M37 and video look forward to seeing the truck. https://youtu.be/PqEY8iqlPMc Cheers Phil

Hi It would fun if someone would put together an audio or video of all the common and not so common sounds of MVs make. The difference between the "Oh that's normal " and "The next sound is a big bang" would be useful. On my trucks with no fan clutch when that roar goes away it means the...

Only problem with d-Con and other bait poison is the do kill but the also attract the critters and the carry the poison pellets off and store them. I've had them carry the pellets off and store them up the exhaust and store them under the exhaust valves. Agree with you whole heartedly one the...

Hi Try typing in the link fresh, just had a similar problem logging on or even finding web sites in the UK. Also had problems with Youtube being messed up this morning. Had to type in the address as for some reason the auto guess was adding or deleting characters which I didn't notice at...

Hi If this happened in the last 24-48 hours, there have been major problems across the internet with Amizons server system which host a lot of other sites crashed, it had a ripple effect causing problems on other server system. Because one major system starts timing out then the whole system...

Hoist Unit on 3Ton CMP Hi I added a 1000lbs hydraulic and cable winch to my CMP 1941 Pattern 12, which has been a very useful addition. The unit was a commercial unit which came with a crank cable winch which was totally useless, replaced it with ATV 12 volt winch unit which as been much...

Hi What have you tried as a penenatrating solution? The old home brew acetone and AT seems to work on stuck engines given time to soak in so might work in this situation. Add low heat might help. What ever you find works let us know. Cheers Phil

Jack What Makes A Good One Hi This one intrques but I wonder about the bending forces with the jack piston off set to the side. Like the flat plate under it though particularly if you are going to use it on soft ground. Right now I have some 12x12x2 plywood squares in the trucks to use...

Hi Keith Just out of curiosity when you buy an ECM unit direct from Cat does it come with any warranty? Also have enjoyed reading your progress reports, great looking truck. Cheers Phil

Hi I had White Post sleeve all the cylinder, wheel and master on my HUP some thirty years and two more CMPs since then and have NEVER had to do any thing more than replace the rubber parts. Good solution for not having worry about brake cylinders ever again. Cheers Phil

Hi Guys One work around for the semi-gloss is to leave the harder out of your last top coat. For years I've been using Dupont Centari mixed to match the original colors of my CMPs. Yeah expensive paint. But follow my logic, first top coat is straight Centari with harner but NO flattner...

Love seeing people enjoy their MVs in the snow Hi Great to see M715 being enjoyed in the snow. Wonder if the big grin on the driver help cause windshield fogging? None of my three MVS evan have heaters so I've been using RainX inside and out for years with good results. But then again...

Hi When that day came with my son, it was because he wanted to drive the truck himself. So I let him. Cheers Phil

Hi How about something like this? Made these up as storage/test stands for the engines on my CMPs. More information on my CMP (Canadian Military Pattern) web page http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/EngineTesting.htm http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/Engine%20Test%20Stand.htm Has a plug...

Use hot water Hi Have had good results with Purple Power type cleaners, but the results are much better the hotter the water you use. Anything over 100F seems to improve the results dramatically plumped in a mixing valve outside of the house so that I can have warm to hot water for the...

Hi These units have always interested me because of their instant heat output. Been considering one for my HUP as low modification way of real heat. My only experience was a housemate back in collge who had a Corvair with Eastwind gas heater, cold winter in New Hampshire many days well below...

Hi This could be an interesting thread, what are the simple ways of checking viscosity, and viscosity at temperature? Look forward to reading more. Cheers Phil
