I had a similar issue. ( I never manually rotated engine though). Problem was the starter switch on top of the steering column. One contact had gotten hot enough and melted the plastic, causing the intermittent issue. When the plastic melted, the contact moved out of correct position. Then...

You definitely get what you pay for in watches. When I first arrived at my unit after flight school, I flew with as many Vietnam Veterans as I possibly could. Learned a ton from them that still benefits me to this day. I hadn’t a clue back then about watches. My daily watch in 1989 was a...

That’s one of the problems with the 12v conversion. Your basically on your own when it comes to getting help on here.

Well you have your answer on how to measure it. Rope/string is cheap.

This is painful, and I’m not the one stranded. I thought more SS members would be in the area. I absolutely hate someone stranded like that. Agree if cash available, rent a uhaul truck and trailer. Get it home or at least to a members property. Walk away and leave it there is property...

I love the old Hamilton Military watches. Would like to have a few of the new models. Guyfang is correct. The genuine vintage military pilots watches are very pricey.

Free, usable fuel? Win Win

Is there a SS member in the area to help?

Checked tire pressure and brake fluid on both my M101A2’s. Haven’t used either one in a while. Also made sure no wasp nest hiding anywhere.

How about a camera angle that the dump can actually be seen?

Quite a few have done it with varied degrees of success. A quick search will get you to the right threads.

A few guys have made them for different military trailers. They worked great and you don’t ruin your trailer. Would love to have one, but will get a BigTex dump trailer instead. I saw about two dozen self contained dump beds at Red River Army Depot. Diesel engine and hydraulic pump, etc...

Just ordered a set. Curious to see how they perform.

Have you looked inside your fuel tank, at the fuel pickup sock? If it’s clogged it will cause trouble.

Are the ends damaged? Mine are original and have been flawless. Almost 4 years now

That will work. Nice and level too!
