Idling means running at less than the 'regular' 1800 RPM. NEVER do that on a generator. It may be 'loafing' because of no load, but it should still be turning at 'full' speed.

Waiting on Ferro to post what Bella can do with the turned up LDS and larger tires. I remember Angie blowing by us one year coming back from the GA Rally - she was at least 10 mph faster than I was going. And I was pedal to the floor!

I have found those tend to have a thinner rubber seal ring, which will not compress as well and will leak/come off easily. Just my experience.

Jim Henry Surplus was open last time I checked. Doubt he has much of a web site. And don't even think of trying to pay for anything with $50 bills, You will get run off and told to never come back!

Cab and van body are bolted to the frame at different points, so one can flex independent of the other. Also, the rear cab attachment will rise up into the 'path' of the access 'door' which will not be very high in the first place because the cab is so much lower than the van body. It will be...

The BC-325 weighs almost 900 pounds. It did not get the nickname 'refrigerator' by accident (or maybe it did when someone got crushed). It was rated at 100 watts voice or 400 watts CW (Morse Code). I have a Ten-Tec Omni that can beat those specs which only weighs 30 pounds with power supply...

Be sure to follow the TM when starting the burners. Procedure is: 1. Turn knob counter clock wise to the 7 o'clock position. 2. Press "Power" and let it go through the startup routine. 3. Press and HOLD the "Start" button for up to 30 seconds (or less if the flame is going well). 4. If it...

Cables and inverter show up on e-bay from time to time. You will have to just keep looking.

That reminds me that I need to put an order for more replacement parts to DS Tactical!

The two of you need to make plans to attend the VA Rally over the Labor Day weekend. Held about 30 miles north of Charlottesville at the Graves Mountain Lodge. Cabell will post more information around the March-April time frame.

At Least!!!

You are much better off taking the bows off during transport, then the highest part is the stack on the exhaust.

That's why I stay with my truck at events, and secure the passenger side door (lock from the inside, then remove the inside door handle) and chock the wheel. Others are much more casual in their precautions, including the soldiers that were not near their vehicle when this accident occurred.

M44 series (specific model M35a2 probably). Appears to have the air shift front engagement. From the size of the exhaust pipe, probably a turbo model. Typical fire department paint scheme. Multifuel deuce-and-a-half cargo trucks is my guess.

Rolled into SC at 12:57, first time ever leaving DT before 1PM. We will do sandwiches and chips/cookies/fruit cup for breakfast again next year on Sunday. Talked to Ferro, who made it home around 3pm. Another great rally in the history books!

I have spare TC's, just need free time to work on this one, esp now that we have a thread on fixing the problem I'm having. The IP was fine when I checked the fluids prior to driving across town to do the full PMCS before the rally, 20 miles later I get five gallons of 'oil' out of the rear...

Yes, it likes to jump out of high when I'm shifting from 2 to 3, and will work it's way toward the floor when going up hills. I have two spare TC's but not the time to change anything out. I normally only use low range for backing, so having it 'permanently' in high range till a long range...

As of now, the Pantry M109 is running. Still have to replace the J pipe, air up a slow leak, and fab a bracket in the cab for the transfer case lever. All on the list for Monday. Then I can get it home and start loading the perishable groceries for an early morning Wednesday departure. Don't...

Yes, a parts list is needed, unless you are going to make them for sale!

They were arm shields for moving the older style gasoline burners from the place they were started (75 feet from ANYTHING that could catch fire including grass) and where they were to be used (IE, the MKT). Basically a reflector to keep radiant heat away from flesh.
