20% bio to 80% diesel has gotten me down to -6 the one time I drove to Maine. I would think that blend would be fine for your area. You can attempt a higher mixture, a percent at a time, but you don't want your lines to clog.

Lol looks good Tim! I wish I could keep mine closer to my LZ, I didn't feel safe going up to get it yesterday or today. You can do good donuts in a m818, with the 'light' rear end

Off topic! OFF TOPIC! lol DH, your nuts! probably why you are looked upon by the Steel Soldiers masses as a 'leader' if we had such a thing... lol

Yep, Jones is correct. the best way to do it, if you were going to do it, would be to have an enclosed car, and the army's rail loading manual (I have one) You basically chock and strap a unit to the car, until you could turn the car upside down and shake it, and the item won't fall off. If you...

I have gotten quotes for several guys moving trucks across country. They will do it, but you have to load, and unload. I think the last quote I got was all the way across the country, and it was only $3800. But on an open flat, vandelism is a big problem, as cars sit in railyards for days sometimes.

I'd be real carefull using a drill near a gas tank, most are open brush. I see them and sparks on my 18v black and decker... I also agree that you shouldn't damage a vehicle unless you have to be quick, or there are plenty. You never know when you might need it or a part off it. At that...

Bill, your truck looks fantastic!

As someone planning to be a 915or916or920 owner very very soon, I agree with all the above!

Dang Doug! I didn't take that good a look underneath! I just thought the U joing had failed and that was that, didn't see the yoke damage. At least it isn't too serious, and like others have said, any driveshaft company worth their salt can repair it. And civi parts will match as well. It...

Sigh.... My story is a reminder to CHECK EVERYTHING THROUGHLY BEFORE MOVING YOUR NEW TRUCK OR TRAILER!!! I had a brake petal down in the yard, but when I went to rely on them to stop, it went to the floor. A warehouse happened to jump in front of me.

Ok, great! Thanks! I REALLY need one.

Everytime I think it's buried, it gets drug up again. I've PMed him back, and offered to go get it monday and take it to his house. No sense in me towing it back to SC just so he has to come farther later to get it.

Is this the wrecker tow light setup? If you can find another cord, you could get two receptacles, and make an adapter. As far as a purpose build connector to connect two cords, I doubt one was ever produced. Before I built my tow light setup, I used to put bare wires in the receptacle on the...

I'll take some more pictures of the motors. All of the engines I was talking about have the decompression lever. The cummins in the 1964 road tractor we have at the museum also has a decompression lever. About 10yrs ago, the red locomotive that has the same engines (the red one in the video)...

Hey Jason, I'll be going to Norfolk and heading down to SC the end of Jan, if that helps any.

Nope, not my personal collection, but might as well be, no one else wants to mess with it. Steve, I haven't gotten the other end running yet. The DB pump seals blew, so I have to wait until the PT pumps come back from the rebuilder. He's having a **** of a time finding parts, and he's having to...

I've been messing with a couple of old cummins in a WWII Navy locomotive recently- going to upgrade the pumps to PT pumps and replace the onces on it. If you need parts, I think we have about 8-10 long blocks laying around... Came out of WWII patrol craft was what I was told. I think they maybe...

Mike, congrats on the score. Personally, you will burn way more fuel and it will be a hassle to keep it loaded. I would sell it for a nice profit, and buy a 10k. Lots of large buildings would need a 60k, would be a good size. You could sell it for half of what other units are going for, and...

Hey Zack, welcome to the site! I know I'm a little ways from you, but I have several deuces and a 5ton, and would be willing to let you drive and teach you all about them. I'm in Columbia, SC.

Thanks again Gunboy! As I plan to get a m915 to haul the tanker, it works out great! I'll get a m818 too, so I can have a 'backup' tractor. LOL
