    How to deal with this rust on fender

    Nope, didn't even realize they had a liner! I just noticed the grooves in the drive wheels are worn. I will look into it, thanks! Yeah the 180 is great, will do low enough amps to do sheet metal but will also do 1/4 in steel in one pass.

    How to deal with this rust on fender

    I love my hobart 180. Works great, best $300 I ever spent. I've used it so much the drive rollers are wearing out, has a hard time pushing the wire through the lead now. Have to see about getting some new ones.

    all green now. : )

    Very nice! I'm very partial to the OD semigloss. I'm really really fighting the urge to paint the M915 that way, as a 'what if?'

    M915 A/C install

    I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if the rest of the install was done? I'm planning to start putting A/C in my m915 soon, and I want to know/see if buying the MTVR kit will be worth it, even throwing a lot away, before I decide how to go about it. I too was wanting to put the...

    No. 6 Fuel Oil or Bunker oil as fuel

    I would use it after I built my steam powered deuce. No harm in getting a gallon or so and experimenting. But it is some thick goopy stuff.

    North Carolina MV RALLY April 6th, 7th,& 8th 2012

    Wow we really had 93 trucks and trailers? The GA rally had what, 85 trucks? I know that doesn't count trailers, but still, even if you figure each truck that showed up to Denton towed a trailer, that puts us at 46.5 trucks... Not bad for the first year! and of course each truck did NOT tow...

    Wrecker wishlist of mods

    For my wrecker, my wish list is sheetmetal! But I can already see that easy bed tool access, a better way into the control cab, and lots of spotlights will be wanted on my truck. I was thinking about putting a rear slavecable recepticle as well.

    M917 won't engine won't crank

    Does the starter run but not engage? Does the starter engage but bog down? does the starter engage and sound like it's cranking the engine, but nothing on the belt end moves? Removing the injectors or waiting forever for the fuel to leak down into the sump are the only two ways of clearing a...

    Deuce wont start at gas station

    It doesn't take much air at all to ruin a fuel prime. Diesels don't like air in the fuel side, at all.

    ?? Starting of in 2nd gear??

    When I'm driving the XM818 with a heavy load (which is amazingly often) I start in 2nd low because it is lower than first, if I start in first high the whole drive train swings over and attempts a barrel roll, and I've heard the clutch slip. I shift all the way up to 5th low, then to 4th high...

    Who has Ferret Parts?

    I've got several complete ferrets but I don't think they would like being parted out... I know, no help whatsoever! I couldn't resist.

    North Carolina MV RALLY April 6th, 7th,& 8th 2012

    M109 or XM818 or M915. I haven't decided what we are bringing. Does anyone know if there will be an issue coming after dark? We have to leave after Angie gets home at 6, so we won't get there until 9 friday night. I saw on the camping form (even though it says for the threshers reunion) no...
