I need to clear out the motor pool and want to sell some stuff. The engine is rebuild with less than 100 miles on it. Plow works good. Rusty but good for a weekend truck or plow truck. I would not use for daily driver. Great parts. It has about 70,000 miles. The original owner and the second...
I now have everything except the ubolts to get this thing mounted. I plan on calling around later today but if anyone has gotten them lately can you point me in the right direction.
Greg,
Am I remembering right that you said try White Owl?
Thanks

The Military Channel is advertising a new show called Tank Overhaul. It seems to be a tank restoration show like Combat Garage on the history channel. This one is advertised as a series not a single show. Check it out Tuesdays at 8pm. Looks interesting.
Hear are some pics of an M-60 I came across in Ypsilanti Michigan. One of my M1009's can be seen in the background. Incidently, does anyone know how one get a loan of one of these from the government for display like this? I would love to try to get a project together to get one for display at...
I am way late but some people wanted to see my laptop mount. I have a jotto desk that I use in my excursion. I took the top part off and mount it to a bolt that I built into an L shaped bracket. I then put in a metal shock bushing to get the right size for the jotto desk to clamp to. It moves...
I just got an email from the organizers of Thunder Over Michigan. After a great reenactment, MV display, and WWII encampment in 2006 the airport has basically kicked it all off the airport. All of the above will be moved off the airport to the Wayne County Fairgrounds. They will offer a shuttle...
Derby asked me to look up something related to F endorsements to non-commercial driver's licenses. There are two endorsements that apply to private and farm related driving. If you are driving for a farm operation and meet the other requirements you will need an F endorsement for any vehicle...
Oilcan ended up with a sprag case. The other one was an airshift. I think there is linkage to the trans for the sprag and he does not have the linkage. Is it going to be ok to drive it home without the linkage? I figured if we had the sprag linkage in the neutral position it would be ok but the...
Oil can is coming up this weekend to change out his T-case. From people that have done it, how long did it take you to remove and install? Looking at things I figure about three hours to take out and probably four or five to install. It looks like it should take considerably less but I factor in...
This picture below is at our camp in the middle of the Saudi desert where we waited 7 months to start the ground war. I was in country in August with the advance units of the 18th Airborne Corp. When we arrived we were a few units in the middle of the desert. By the time we left for the ground...
I finally got around to changing fuel filters. They were not that bad. I did find that some GI had put my final filter together missing the cup that seals to the bottom of the filter. Does anyone have one or a filter cannister assembly that has one? If so let me know a price. If no one has one...

If this guy gets the $17000 on buy it now I will have my deuce up for sale the very next day. Is this guy on crack? Please say no dude!!!
I am getting around to seeing if my gens start. I am robbing the starter off one to put on the other. When I removed the starter from the one I saw that the Slave Cable Connector positive was attached to the starter connection of the starter solenoid. I would think it should be on the battery...
I tried classifieds with no results. I almost have this thing ready for the road and I need a rear window, the regulator assembly, and the outside window crank (even if it is broken).
Thanks

Next gen question. I want to use my 10k as a back up gen for the house. I have heard that some people have converted them to natural gas. I want to convert mine to accept natural gas and still be able to run gasoline. I have looked at a couple of websites and they mostly have kits and...
Does anyone have a number for the spin on oil filter used on the 10kw mep18-a with the 4ao84 engine? I think it might be a fram PH8A since Saturn Surplus lists the part number for it as 8A. I got one today and will try it on the genset this weekend and post the results. As I remember from my...
Does anyone know where I can get a cover for my m103 gen trailer. It is like the m105 but is slightly longer and has no sides. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Does anyone know where I can get the two pin slave cable to Nato single pin adaptor so I can jump my gens with my newer style slave cable?
Thanks

Some may remember my post asking about the glow plug temp sensor. I found that at around 60 degrees the resistance was at 5000 ohms and it went down to 300 ohms after idling for about 20-30 minutes.
Before putting in my new to me glow plug controller board I replaced the relay. I noticed that...
