    The M146's do not have a frame. However the M119's do. Not the best pics but if you look close you can see whats there.

    Winter Starting

    My M35 came with the either start. but i have not used it. No offense meant here but any way to avoid using either your engine is better off. mainly your top compression rings.

    No need for death breath when using the hot box.

    Winter Starting

    To bring this a little closer for comparison, It will heat my Power Stroke to operating temp at 0 in less than 5 mins. Cant remember the btu's but it is quite high. this is what its made to do. they were quite common on trucks when i started out.

    Winter Starting

    I think about the coldest i have fired the M818 up was the day i ran it up to cheboygan for the Korean war Veteran (MIA for 50 years) funeral and it was - 28.

    Winter Starting

    No shelter. just hook the wires to 12 volt and hook 2 quick couplers up and have a cup of coffee. when the coffee is gone the truck is ready to start. this photo shows my shelter. or lack of.

    Winter Starting

    I use a portable Hot Box that is a gas fired hot water heater with a pump (12 Volt) and quick connectors. it heats the 250's in the 5 tons enough to fire up in about 12 - 15 mins. with ambient around 0. I tried to search my old post on this with out any luck.

    M818 mated with M172

    We used to get cab cards from the state but iirc no running at night or weekends. this was for the 10` wide lowboys and even then the load quite often hung over a little......

    Check your tires!

    The 9 20 tubes are pretty common around here. I had a few replaced not long ago and I had them dropped off in the morning and picked up that same afternoon with no appointment or anything.

    I know im getting old and half blind but these look like hub pilot wheels. If so, it will be real hard to use these on an old style hub.
