Most of the Brazil sugar cane plants are set up as dual plants, to produce sugar or to ferment sugar into ethanol. They will do whichever is more profitable at the moment. They do use the bagasse to power boilers. The corn ethanol loop is fairly well closed. The byproduct is sold to cattle...

That is what I am saying, there is not a law mandating the blend. There is a law mandating oxygenated gasoline, and ethanol beat all the other substances as an oxygenate. The law does allow up to E10, and soon E15 for some vehicles. Fuel companies use the full E10 blend because ethanol is...

False: Frequently Asked Questions - STIHL USA "All STIHL gasoline powered engines can be used with up to a 10% (E10) blend of ethanol in the gasoline/engine oil mix. We also recommend that if a unit will be left unused for more than 30 days that it be stored "dry." This means emptying the fuel...

There's a "modern" carb? Just sayin... But if you are referring to new carbs, yes they are E10+ compatible. With few state exceptions, there is not a law forcing people to buy it. Oxygenated gasoline is mandated and ethanol is frequently used because the alternative will KILL you...

Disclosure: I formerly worked for an ethanol manufacturer, but left on less than amicable terms, I am actually neutral/against ethanol(I prefer electric cars), but as an engineer I hate to see misinformation spread. Guys running ethanol in airplanes: Aviation grade E85 -It's great because no...

Thanks to John for being a great host! I had a blast, and watched a couple of blasts. Definitely interested if you do it again. Hopefully I can bring a deuce of my own. - Mark - on the Buell motorcycle

Probably worth pulling the pump out of the tank before changing the fuse. The pumps get gunked up so 1, you don't want to send all that gunk to the filter when you replace the fuse and 2, you don't want to fail a second fuse if the pump is stuck. The pump is a magnetic coupling to the motor...

I am assuming in a month you may be a little more concerned about ice in addition to the snow/mud. Consider these:https://www.treadwright.com/p-12-31-10-50r15-guard-dog-m-t.aspx You can select the "Kedgegrip" option which has ground up glass in the tread. This is just like continually...

That is a great idea. May have to be careful of material compatibility with solder, but nonetheless, thanks!

I was wondering about this. Previewed an M35A2 at Mechanicsburg, PA and it had a massive hole in the block. Luckily I have not seen this firsthand before, so I took a picture. GL guy made me delete it. I reviewed their auction "video" and the angle it was shot from you could not see the...

I was thinking about it and I humbly suggest you may have it wrong. The weight the crane is lifting is the same, regardless of the length of the boom. If you are lifting 10000 lbs @ 10 ft(boom retracted, not sure of the exact number, feel free to correct me) the crane frame has 10000lbs...

I had this one in the back of my deuce in Iowa. Pickup Truck Crane - 1/2 Ton Capacity I added a boat winch on top which used seat belt webbing in place of a steel cable. My experience is the steel cable develops sharp splinters. I will say it was very worthwhile, but the top is not the...

Appreciate all of the positive comments. Just want to caution all of the subscribers I do not have the deuce yet, so it may be a few months before progress starts happening in earnest.

Your truck was my inspiration.

I don't think any engine loves to idle. There is not sufficient cylinder pressure to seat the rings, it doesn't get warm enough to prevent condensation in the oil, many problems. I will get better fuel consumption from a small engine running at rated load than the big one running at an...

Not military parts, but I purchased 3 Haib 070 knucklebooms in Newark, NJ and need to haul them back to Lancaster, PA. I hope to put one on a deuce and sell the other two. Each is 3ft wide x 7ft long x 6 ft tall, 2500lbs. Total load 7500lbs. Have crane to load them, I am working on a...

Well, I am putting the cart in front of the horse, or the crane before the truck. This past weekend I purchased three Hiab 070 knucklebooms for eventual inclusion on an M35A2. Now I just have to haul them home (see post in transportation section) and buy a deuce. Two are Hiab 070A's, one...

Lead is subject to "cold creep" such that it will loosen simply from having tension on it. Thus you will want to check the fastener frequently if you go this route.

I appreciate the concern and I appreciate the experience, but I think you misunderstood. This was not a desire to be cheap. The winch had a failed roll pin in it which had sheared cleanly. Perhaps the NG we had bought the truck from should have used the aluminum pin, but regardless, that...
