Well, took a day off work and went down to Ft Stewart to pick up Westy's M818. Drove down in my railroad maintenance truck, because I have rigged it up to be towed with a medium towbar.
Got there around 0845, and waited on John for a few minutes. While I was waiting, I hooked up my tow lights...
This was Angie and my first GA Rally. We had a Blast!!! can't wait until next year, when I will have a truck I can trail ride as well. (Angie has taken over my 109. When she started picking out curtains, I gave up!)
Thanks to everyone who helped put it on and make it a success! Mike, next year...
I usually just use a portable cig recepticle with clips and hook it to one battery, then run the cable for the GPS/phone out the pass door and plug it in. I just found a slave cable plug that has two cig recepticle made for the military. Haven't pluged anything into it to test yet. If it works...
The 'Multi fuel' part of the engines are way over blown. What I mean by that, is all diesel engines, by the vary nature of their operation, are 'multi fuel'. The multi fuel engines in deuces were specifically designed to operate at a given power range on several different fuels. Obviously to...

If your already going to have it all apart, you should check the clutch and replace if necessary. Either way, I...
I would replace the window seals. It will keep your doors and door guts in better shape, also help with drafts and whistles. Test your batts, alts for free at almost any auto parts store (that you trust)
I may replace the glow plugs if you pull one and they look bad, and replacing the...
They did make a multi powered gen set, at least one. And it is for sale.

Hey! It's not in my backyard, it's still on active rails... :twisted:
I am torn. I would love to see her stay in the USA, but as a former ship engineer, and 'machine whisperer', I believe every piece of machinery (no matter what it is or what it's in) deserves to run. I tour the USS Yorktown...
