The left handed threads on the left side help prevent loosening while driving. The idea may have been dropped in '60s, since my 1969 757 have right handed threads all around. Without the impact, the oldfashion manual reversible socket plus handle is used....with cheater bar if needed.

With any kind of forward speed, there must be diagonal support (see the m621 above)...

Images of the Norwegian M621 w/ROP.

The HIAB, although having found no references on the internet to that effect, must offer some rollover protection bolted to the frame as it is...

The inclinometer doesn't protect you, but may prevent a roll-over when driving off-road if used right (=paid attention to). Here are my solutions and an article from PS mag (the Unimog with back hoe is sensitive to side slopes).

Right, make sure the bed stays attached and that you have the restraints for the driver and passenger. You don't want the windshield folded into your lap, though.

If you are that far away, you probably don't have any up to date photos, but is the avatar an indication of your situation? The engine can take in water via the crankcase breather, air intake or exhaust and is otherwise sealed for running submerged. Axle housings, transmission and transfer may...

Match the front tires by wear, date code and manufacturer, that has been my cure over the years, even with a good front end alignment and new shocks.

Don't see how you can go wrong in buying the whole lot. "Proto" is one brand used by the military and are high quality, I have some in black finish, very heavy duty...

Just curious, what are some of your solutions to stopping the tire splatter when driving a road tractor without a trailer (bobtailing)?

Here is the simple answer, the spec sheet... (If you don't like the search function on the site, go to google, enter keywords plus steelsoldiers)

Would you strengthen the windshield frame also?

Veggie oil burns cooler than diesel, there is a noticeable difference in the EGT and if the engine is not at operating temp, cooking can occur. Biodiesel has the cleaning effect you are talking about. In general, WVO is acidic, fresh VO is neutral and biodiesel is alkaline...

It's an issue when burning veggie oil, didn't think WMO would be a problem unless the unburnt residue in the oil cakes up..I would imagine that the combustion chamber also shows sign of coking.

Terrible news...Rest in Peace fellow steelsoldier. Having spent thousands of miles on the interstates, I know how vulnerable we are out there. Like to think that the knuckleboom provides ROP, but don't want it tested that way...

No other fuse/cb in that circuit. Wired from the accessory switch, which is wired to the battery (+) terminal indirectly, but without protection.

I should have some extras. If interested, PM me for further info.

If you consider the alternators and that one battery is "floating" and the starter current drain, any 250 amp and up switching arrangement should work. What's your reason(s)?

Right, they should be honored. Problem; AFAIK, we are at the mercy of Mike and Chris for any kind of modification to the site and just a "sticky" doesn't really do it.

For other than a trickle charge, you would need something of the order of a 50 Watt solar panel and they are about 2x4 feet in size...
