Thought I'd ask first!

Cabell, do we have a buy-sell-trade thread for the rally? I've got something I'll never use that needs a new home.

If you were coming to the VA Rally over Labor Day or know someone from closer to you that was coming, I could hand it off there. It's a pull and looks clean inside, complete with a couple of ounces of fuel. Main problem is it's a MEP-003A tank which is by itself 24.5 x 14 x 9 inches. It is...

If only you were closer, see attached.

We will make room for you!

Charleston has their Veterans Day Parade the Sunday before Nov 11. After a multi year hiatus, the MV crowd is being invited back to Patriot's Point, arriving on Friday and having exhibits there Friday afternoon and Saturday, then convoy to the parade and be the lead vehicles that Sunday...

The Columbia, SC group will be in Charleston that weekend.

It depends on what the dates are, as I already have events in September, October and November on my calendar and have committed to go to them. The Columbia folks that have been coming with me are also making other plans.

Fuel tank caps and the rubber seal are available from our sponsor vendors. You can always put heavy plastic on the opening and them put the cap back on just to keep trash out. I would NOT leave the cap off overnight, as there is always some moisture and it will precipitate on the cold surface...

That is a sintered brass bolt. Basically, very small pieces of brass (almost like dust) that are fused together, so that it is porous but does not allow large particles to get through. People have used them to give a vent to their axles by havint the bolt 'plug' high up in the engine...

I have printed and laminated that GTA for each of my trucks in the log book. It gives you a systematic pre-trip inspection of your vehicle and some pretty good hints of where to look for stuff!

Air pressure should be under 120 psi, brake fluid pressure could be over 3000. The brake boost comes from a four inch diameter air piston pushing on a .5 inch diameter brake fluid piston, about a 16 to 1 ratio. When it's not working, you have to make all the pressure with just the brake pedal...

Fuel cap gaskets are about $6 on evil-bay and from supporting vendors, so just go ahead and replace it.

Now you need to get some bacon presses and a hashbrown steamer lid or two, and maybe some egg rings for making egg biscuits. For biscuits I cheat and use the WalMart "Great Value" Buttermilk jumbo biscuits (not the 'flaky' variety), 20 will fit nicely on a baking sheet. I start 'proofing' them...

Found someone who has the full set of manuals > https://www.militarymanuals.com/B/0055_Forklifts/Forklift_Dresser_MHE-236/Forklift_Dresser_MHE-236.html Then realized the MVCSC has a Dresser forklift/bucket combo, but it's painted a 'faded' yellow, not OD green. I think the club has some of...

Actually, he has his own railroad, the Foxville and Northern, up and running in the Baden, NC area!

TM's are as follows TM 10-3930-643-10, TM 10-3930-643-12, TM 10-3930-643-12HR, TM 10-3930-643-20, TM 10-3930-643-24P, and TM 10-3930-643-34. PM (start conversation with) me if you cannot find them on-line.

Figure out what the larger truck engines need. There was a thread around 2011 talking about driving through volcanic ash and what it would take to keep the driver and the truck going, and how big an air filter would be needed. If I remember correctly about half the cargo area of a deuce would...

G. is right, max deuce torque is at about 1800 rpm, gasser is over 3,000 rpm.

Rubber cord is the same stuff used to keep the deuce cargo covers on with. Most of the dealers have it. Rubber Rope.
