Well, I ment slightly more speed. I really want a military tractor. Cheap too. It is a 214mile haul with the WVO. I agree, the m818 will be SLOW...

I'm kind of in the same boat, I have a job lined up to haul WVO for a processor here. I have a m818, registered and insured commercial. I'm looking to purchase a m970 tanker soon. My plans are to haul a month or two with the m818, then purchase a m916. I really want the 916 for the rear winch...

I believe he means the bleeder on the top of the secondaries, and it will spray out of the bottom of the primary instead fo just flow.

That's why there is a place on the driver side running board for a jerry can...:wink: I've learned to keep a full one with me at all times. You never can trust the gauge...

Yes?

Ten, I've got 3 GE MVS mobile 40watt VHF radios, with the software to reprogram, I think they are good down to 146.550. I also have 4 old GE PLS 5watt hand helds, that I can have reprogrammed as well. I have one of the MVS set up as a base station, the other is free and one is mounted in my RR...

That explains why everything started working again... :jumpin: Mike, when are you planning to leave columbia for the rally?

I will arrive early Wed morning, with the m818, the m172 (porch) and the 1963 ford 4000 tractor with bush hog and horse poo rake! Angie will arrive Thursday night. SCSG, when are you planning to head out from Columbia? I wouldn't mind convoying with you but I want to get there early enough to...

Yes, I would marry her if I were you! It's one thing to have a supportive wife, but another entirely that buys you trucks, and even more so if they work on them!

I've used mine quite a bit to help out the local RR museum. I also am in the market for a tanker trailer, as I may have a side job lined up to haul WVO for a local Biodiesel processor. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/military-vehicle-road-trips/46511-got-drive-1-600-miles-1-5-miles-railroad.html

80 days? stand in line buddy. I waited 6 months one time. That's 180 days! And it was like my 20th EUC. Battle Creek believes in the saying "good things come to those who wait", to a fault.

Flying is easy. Landing is not.

Hey HarryT! I have a pretty nice M818 and have a pretty good handle on the 5tons now. I use the heck out of mine. I work at Shaw AFB driving the train. Would love to get together sometime and look your truck over, I can drive mine out so you can see it too if you want. Adam AKA Ferro...

I haven't really been on the site the last few days, but I was in Chat yesterday and it was SLOW... Thanks for working on the problem, and if we need upgrades, pass the hat around.

Hey David, I just sent you a PM and email.

My favorite chili mac recipe is chili, with mac. I've just been tinkering with the idea of building a showerhouse in a m105 trailer, for all the campers. It is way better than the B horror movie showerhouse DT has out there. What do you think? (thank clint for the idea of mounting it in a m105)

The switch was just a SPDT, with a resistor to drop the 24v in half when you had it in 'low' hooked to one of the power feed sides.

That motor is for the deuce/5ton electric wiper upgrade. I didn't see any of the other parts to the kit though in the pictures...

I plan to get a WVO hauling operation off the ground, and save my pennies to buy a m915 or m916 to do the hauling- I'll use my m818 for the first few months. Good looking truck and if I get one I will be doing the A/C install as well!
