I did not thought you would have done it this thoroughly without considering a lot of options and probable problems. Never hurts to say it and it might trow up some things that other people doing similar things have not thought about. I am also sure that professionals know what to do (or...

Seems like a nice project. Some points with the placing of the tank and batteries though. 1) That high up, doesn't it bring your tank high up exposed to the full power of the sun when not driving? 2) Propane and butane are heavier than air, so escaping gas will go down. Outside is no prob...

Actually, took some time to sink in that I did not see any adds at all!. Maybe because I am privacy-aware and hate unsolicited adds and stuff, so I have several add-blockers, pop-up blockers and other stuff active to stop that and stop tracking if not all then at least some of the searches and...

fat lady singsfat lady sings Trying to make everybody sick here or what? For that amount, I would have bought her and shipped her to the Czech Republic (including first mate). We have a lot of large fishponds (the largest is about 2 square miles) and flooded floodplains here, so we could put...

That was my original plan, but reading on SS about problems with modern stuff in old engines, I got a bit worried. Today I had to be in the nearest bigger town, and asked at a Renault truck maintenance station. They had some stuff, and in the end I called the Dutch company to check if it is...

Last time two years ago I simply drained (no flushing or cleaning) the engine and radiator and refilled our multifuel with Eurol Coolant -36 XL, suitable for heavy duty trucks. Now I need to top up with about 5 liter (somewhere I have a leak) but cannot get this stuff here in the Czech Republic...

:oops: I did; lo and behold, found it. Thanks. Did they cahnged the name from TM to FM? The TM...10 on page 2-248 clearly mentions TM. I also downloaded your cover pic. The copy I downloaded did not have any cover, so I can use this to complete it.

Trying to make the truck winter ready again since temps are on average much lower here in the Czech Republic as in the Netherlands. The instructions in the manual mention "refer to TB 750-651 (found) and TM 9-207 (still missing)for further instructions". I tried to look for those manuals but...

I tried to find something on this, but could not. Could you explain a bit more please?

I did not drive much with our truck, but am loosing some liters of water. Was topped up before the last winter, after some driving and standing with running engine -together about 3 hours, low rpm, no pulling or cargo on the truck, even without dump bed. Noticed again that the level is lower, at...

And the second video now added to the same page.

While shooting pics and video during a fish harvest of one of the fish ponds around here, I noticed this kitchen trailer. made some pics to share here. Actually, would not mind having one. :beer::beer:

We are now starting to upload some videos about our project of restoring the M51A2. Tonight only the first video, tomorrow and later more to come. The video's are not on youtube but on our own website; I like to keep our material private and under our control. Feel free to give comment on...

I was with the sand blasting company today and discussed the options. They were just busy finishing a truck they had bought as wreck for their own company and had done the same as you. Good live example. I showed them my pictures and asked about options and costs. First estimate, just sand...

Thanks for the update on this. It looks you really almost went to bare steel with blasting, much further than I initially thought from your pictures. My son (a blacksmith) has a small very old blasting unit (if it still works) so we would use that. Apart from the engine, blasting around wiring...

I like the beginning shots in the video where you see the tarp bows in the mirror. Snatched some time here and there to read through this entire thread. Great work. [thumbzup][thumbzup][thumbzup] You gave me some ideas how to handle cleaning and painting our truck. I got a headache only...

None taken; I should have added a wink smiley. I know a bit about why most of your European ancestors left Europe, although our websites on that topic urgently need to be updated and integrated better: "Why they left" and how we explain this in our Czech Emigration Museum. As you see, we still...

Interesting article. Basically it seems that, against all intuition, in a civic person car it would help the car to stay put by opening the downstream door and let the water in, hence lessening the buoyant force of the vehicle. At least as long as we are talking only about a feet or a bit more...

In Europe, scrap prices are between 110 ("dirty") to 180 EUR ("clean") per metric ton (1000 kg or 2200 lbs, when the ##$% will you guys shift to world standard, that is, metric). That means that a 10 ton truck will bring something around 1500 EUR or 2000 US$$ scrap price. US will be a bit...

SS here is a victim of it's own success. That is the problem of not being on-line every day and the time-difference between Europe and the US. This week I went through the entire thread of our new admin from last year (head of for the achievements). When that thread ran, it was in a time I had...
