    Heaviest Load Yet

    I hauled a bag of crickets from Petco today! Tomorrow I am going to move 25 yards of dirt and rocks. Hope the guy has a tractor! I am thinking 3 trips.

    He hasn't been on the boards since 8-14. Maybe he is on vacation or something.

    Deuce muffler option

    Here's my Walker. I think it's sticking up a little too high. Time for a mod.

    Air shift problem

    OK, I am sure there is a tech manual that speaks to this, but I have been pouring over them and the posts and cannot find a topic pertaining to this exactly. On my M54, there is a slight air hissing noise when shifting into 1st gear or reverse. I know this is normal from researching the forums...

    Used Fry Oil, WVO

    Well I just stopped by a little repair garage 2 blocks from my work. They have a 400 gallon waste oil tank out back. The owner said I can come by and pump a barrel of oil out anytime I want! FREE FUEL!! :D

    New 5 Ton, M54A2

    Well believe it or not, I was looking for a '68 to '72 Olds Cutlass when I ran across my truck. I typed "455" into Craigslist and my truck popped up, 455 was part of his phone number. I thought it looked bad-ass and it was near my wife's work. So I took my son and we went to look at it. It...

    Used Fry Oil, WVO

    Im just a little torn on what works best. Veggi oil ormotor oil? I know there is a lot of info here and I have read it all. But what are the preferences? Will I have problems with veggi oil in the winter? I want a fuel I can dispense into the tank and forget about it for a while.

    Used Fry Oil, WVO

    I have an opportunity to buy up to 1000 gallons of UVO for $250. That's .25 per gallon. Question 1) Is this a good deal? Question 2) What should I look for? Question 3) What would make it unusable? Thanks in advance! James.

    Gasoline and WMO mix ?

    Well I am a believer now! I had approx 1/2 tank of diesel (30 gallons or so) and I went out and poured in 9 gallons of waste peanut oil I cooked 2 turkeys in last Christmas. I heated it first and just let it run through a big paper filter thing I made then straight into the tank. I started it...

    Had a interesting visitor

    I drove my 5 Ton to a cruise-in a few weeks ago in Portland. I had at least 6 men come up and say "I drove one of those in the war". I asked each time, "what war"? I got everything from WWII to Korea to Vietnam to Desert storm. It's funny though, my truck is a '74 so technically it could not...

    New 5 Ton, M54A2

    Well here's the new muffler. It made a huge difference. Still loud and growly, but more tolerable when your foot is to the floor. Got rid of the ear piercing "BRAAAAAPPP" when you come to a hill. Did a shabby job attaching the tip with metal heat tape, but I will stop by a muffler shop and...
