I was thinking - get the flywheel that fits the trans. If the crankshaft bolt pattern is the same... You have to get a trans with a pto and use that setup. I doubt the pto gears would match up if you just tried to move the pto from a standard to automatic. Reguardless it would be a lot of...

Great to see this kind of intrest in 2 great hobies. I got my license around 15 years before my first MV. My MVs out number my radios by about 10 to 1...

So the suspense is just to much for me... Does the SAE standard specify the bolt pattern for the flywheel? Could it just be a matter of getting a flywheel with the proper number of teeth for the starter. My foggy memory seems to recal something about the SAE standard even including the starter...

If you dump your used motor oil into your tank without filtering it you should wait to replace your fuel filters. The in tank pump runs and constantly circulates the fuel through the fuel filters. Halfway through the oil changes replace the fuel filters. This will give longer run time on clean...

It does change a lot from state to state. In Texas a antique military vehicle costs $10.00 per year and is exempt from just about everything except that you have to make it look like it was when it was used in the military. Even the weight is "unlimited". You also are restricted to using it for...

I ordered a part from TNJ when it didn't come after 1 month I called them. They were having trouble speaking english. They found the order but couldnt figure out what I ordered. They wanted my credit card info so they could bill me again so they could send the part. I told them I would call back...

I need a truck like that but can't get it to Texas. Good luck. It is relatively easy to get a 15 day permit to opperate a unregistered vehicle on the street. If you tell the dot you are moving it from the address of the storage lot to your home address you should be able to get a state issued...

It always starts with just one. Even my neighbors stoped counting!

They look like something that should be welded on before exceeding 25mph...

We might as well start a few hundred "What's a EUC" threads. Also a couple hundred "How much longer is it going to take" threads might be good for a warm up.

The tow yard should be able to get the title as long as no one says anything about it once belonging to the gov't.

2 things I would look for would be the old gasket being left on and the gasket on the bolt at the top of the filter

If the lights/guages work when it is being jumped (cables connected) and then don't when the cables are disconnected then I would suspect an open cell in a battery. If this is the case then I would just replace the batteries and that would likely fix it.

First I would test the obvious main power switch. Then there is a series of wire junctions (inline plugs) under the dash that get power from the starter. They are what powers everything. I would start unpluging them 1 at a time, cleaning and pluging them back in with a good electrical grease.

I like GM HEI ignition, but if you don't hook up the resistor properly... well just make sure the distributor comes with a warranty... Also you might think of getting a 24 - 12v converter and use it to power your radio, gps, cell phone charger or other small 12v electronic equipment you haven't...

I don't know about your trans but I have seen some that use air to shift. I would try to make sure the air leak is not coming from anything that goes to or from the trans.

Thats Cool!!!

I would not mix the transmission and axle oils. Use Lucas gear oil. Its extra sticky and won't get to thin when it gets hot. I would use Lucas additive in the engine crankcase along with a good 40w engine oil certified for diesel engines. One reason to use 50w engine oil in the gearboxes is...

I would strongly recomend Lucas gear oil for all the gearboxes including the axles. I would use 1 gallon Lucas oil additive added to the engine oil. If you use the wrong kind of oil it will make all your seals leak and then you will have to replace them. I don't think any kind of mineral oil...

I would check all the fluids and add Lucas where needed. I would also go with a 170 thermostat. The military considers 90 - 95 extreme heat and installs a 185 - 190 thermostat for what we would call cool weather. Lucas will stay thicker when it gets hot and help the oil stick to the moving metal...
