    Legal Issues that could effect all MV Owners

    I have not been in touch with mine but I had him on board 4 weeks ago. He is very well respected and at one time was Ga. State Commander of the National Guard. He is behind us 100 percent. I am going in for hip replacement surgery in the morning so I will be out of the loop for several days.

    Legal Issues that could effect all MV Owners

    I have been interviewed for television on farming issues before, and after cutting and editing what I said on TV did not have the meaning I intended. I think we are right to keep this simple. Its working and I am fully confident it will pass without any big shows.

    M1028 Front dana 60 king pin kit question

    You might as well do a total rebuild while you are doing it. Mine was worn out all the way through. I think there are a couple styles, mine had screw in cone shaped king pins on top and there were a Bi***ch to get loose. We made a large allen wrench out of a bolt head that fit the top on mine...

    Can 12v car jump off low 24v truck?

    If both battery's are dead no. If both battery's are weak probably especially if you let each charge a little individually first. If one battery is weak or dead absolutely if you hook the jumpers to the weak or dead battery. You can't operate a 24 volt system with a 12 volt battery but you...

    Abandoned deuces in Baltimore

    I own 2 Dueces that I bought from a tow company. City told owner to remove trucks and he did not so City had them towed. Tow truck owner was a friend of a friend so I heard about them. He was going to sell for scrap to recover costs so I got them for $1000.00 each. He gave me a bill of sale...

    poppop,s M37 restore thread

    Got some pictures of recent progress on the truck. Got the winch mounted and all bumper bolts tightened up today, you can see the top plate I fabricated. One shot shows the tires that are mounted on the truck now and the others show the cab and hood before I sanded them today.

    Zout's Cookout

    This is a great idea and a worthy cause. A couple years ago I was asked to bring trucks to a regional Cubscout Rally when the real Military trucks promised could not make it because of a nation wide drill. I took the m813 and the M151 and the Kids had a ball. The leaders marched them down in...

    Legal Issues that could effect all MV Owners

    This is election year so the session will be shorter than usual so they can get home and kiss more babies. But usually three months of work is tops and they go home. We still are short on funds to pay the lobbyist, so we need a few more members, hopefully Georgians, to step up and help out...

    John Deere Armored A1 Tractors

    They were actually tested by the Army and deemed unfit for battle field operation. John deere built tank transmissions for the War.

    John Deere Armored A1 Tractors

    They have been posted, as I did it myself I think. But its great to have someone else find it and post it up. These were covered in a two-cylinder magizene several years ago. One of their main faults were that the angle of the guns allowed the gunners to shoot out their own tires. The big...

    Legal Issues that could effect all MV Owners

    Once again I agree with Dell. Let's not rock the boat until swiss gives the go ahead. Unfortunately dollars do matter in politics and its a shame but thats the way it is. As I stated earlier my Wife ran for State Office twice, Ga State Commissioner of Agriculture, and everywhere She went to...

    Legal Issues that could effect all MV Owners

    I just want to add to Dell's comments. My Wife ran for a State Office 2 times and I have seen a lot about how politics work. She had to hire a lobbyist to work for her when She was running. These Lobbyist are known at the capitol and can roam the Halls and get access to places a concerned...

    Caution lights on trucks law

    I just purchased a cotton module moving truck. It is overweight when loaded and some trucks are over width. All cotton module trucks are required by law to have amber strobes flashing at all times front and rear. I have to have the $2.00 permit and display the sticker in the windshield...

    Legal Issues that could effect all MV Owners

    You could not do the above because Ga would refuse to transfer title and you would be in the same boat. Get your truck home and work on it and help us get the law changed. This is going to be a short session because the members have to get home and campaign to keep their jobs so it is very...

    Legal Issues that could effect all MV Owners

    Joe. I think the problem now is only trucks built by one particular manufacturer is not on the DMV list, so other 900 series truck are being titled. The fear is if someone at DMV takes a hard look at the law then these other trucks should not have been titled and registration could be revoked...

    Legal Issues that could effect all MV Owners

    I am afraid papabear is correct in his above post. As President of our local antique tractor club we held elections Saturday night and had to twist arms to get someone to run for two positions being vacated by older members. We started the group in 1998 and the same 12 people that organized it...

    First MV, and a 5ton! Just purchased a M817

    Sounds like you have a runner that will start with good battery's. On trucks that I have rebuilt the brakes on I used DOT 3 in them. The government uses silicon because these trucks sometimes sit for long periods and water will not mix with it and rust components. On trucks used regularly it...
