    How do you change a tire

    The media used to mask for sandblasting is rubber. Sandblasting will not hurt rubber, in fact, if the rubber is old and dingy looking, it will probably make it look better.

    M818 Question

    My 816 does the same thing. I fixed one leak and that seemed to help, but it still does it. Also, I had a run away with it once when I tried to use the manual throttle. I pulled it out just a little until the idle increased to about 1000. I walked away and heard it starting to scream and saw...

    Deuce door windows

    Have you priced the new window channels? I was going to replace mine until I priced them. I can't believe they cost that much. I may just have to live with some loose windows.

    Need some advice

    They are not complicated. With all that muscle, raise the little tab at the top of the out rigger and pull it all the way out and put it on the bench. Look down the other end and see what it is hitting. It probably weighs 200 lbs. so make sure you have something to catch it when it comes all...

    Which is the most trouble free engine?

    I personally don't know the answer to your question. However, I know an old motor pool sergeant who told me that he nevers has trouble with the Cummings. He was not too keen on the multifuel.

    Cable Lube ?

    On the winch cable, John Deere makes a "Cable and Chain Lube" that goes on in a spray foam. It makes an old rusty cable look like new.
