That would be about 910lbs of fuel (150 gallons) plus the weight of the containers themselves, if those were filled.
I've kinda been stockpiling fuel lately myself.
Looks like you scored on the fuel containers.
Yes
It’s catastrophic for the engine.
If you’re going to still run the original, it’s not a matter of “if”, but “when” it will fail.
Might be a few more years before failure or the very next time you drive it.
But it will fail at some point.
Not necessarily coming apart like a grenade, but the...
I do not know the official recommended tire pressure.
It will be in the TM operators manual, but I run 35 in each tire.
I personally would not go over 50 psi with those.
There should be stamping somewhere on the rim that shows the maximum pressure for that rim.
MC-2A
Slight oil leak behind Alternator.
Ordered parts and will install next week.
I also ordered the governor cover gaskets.
Tore one when I installed the other new parts so will replace them both.
Looks like it will work just fine.
I've seen them a lot worse.
Recommend you use silicone grease on the bead.
It makes breaking the tire down again MUCH easier.
Thank you for the update (with pictures) and congratulations on the successful setup.
So many times, someone will ask for help and then they never update the end result, good or bad.
The wealth of knowledge of SS members always amazes me.
I would take off the oil hose completely and see if it's not blocked.
When hoses get old and cracked, a chunk of rubber can block the line without fully detaching from the inside.
Hose will look good from the outside.
Almost acting like a check valve.
(Old Brake hoses have this happen all the...
You had mentioned earlier in this thread about your fuel tank and I was looking for exactly that when these popped up.
I have a jack I need to install on the trailer.
It’s not the A3 version but the M1101 type jack.
Exactly the same jack, same manufacturer, just painted gloss black for the...
Great point and noted.
Will just rotate it every 6 months or so.
The drums will fit on the front of the trailer floor if I relocate the tool box.
But I think the pallet idea is best due to the weight and ease of handling with the tractor.
Nothing exciting
Driveway Maintenance
I have a fairly long driveway and it needs the occasional touchup
It's much cheaper than having it hauled in.
The M101A2 is perfect for these small projects since it can handle the weight and rough terrain that a normal trailer couldn't
Overkill?
Of course!
Bought the remaining last two this morning.
Not sure what to do with them but the price was too good to pass up.
No need to store drinking water since we are on a well.
I love the whisky idea actually, great to barter with.
I have regular steel 55 gallon drums but didn't...
Picked up two Stainless Steel 55 gallon drums last night.
They are food grade and used once.
Clean out will be easy, They both had vanilla in them.
These are my new extended run fuel tanks for the MEP-002A
Not sure if to mount one and the other a spare or just leave both loose and just keep on...
