That looks like an mk48 cab. pete

Sand Cobra towed my MK18 with a Deuce. I have pulled that same MK18 with my 5-ton-pulled it about 35 miles. Was only able to hit 40 MPH-that thing is heavy, but it worked. Truck handled fine (make sure the brakes arte hooked up). MK14 is much lighter. Make sure you have the proper control box...

I have found the gauge in my truck does not read accurately. My truck shows operating temps of 220F. After much reading on these engines, I had determined that running my MK at this temp would surely destroy the O-rings at head-block. I removed the dog house cover in cab and shot an infrared...

Red Bulls truck out of Ripley. Using it to build a house. Pete

My Mk runs gauge hot with recorded temps just like yours. My cap and radiator has not leaked or steamed. Have read about operating temps in these engines and have learned they don't like temps over 200 degrees. Apparently they have o-rings as head gaskets that get brittle with temp. I decided...

Have noticed my A3 seemed to be a bit down on power. Seemed to be weaker on the brakes as well. Had it on a 40 mile trip laden with heavy logs. When I got to my farm, I could smell brakes-saw a bit of smoke coming from rear drums. Brake dragging has been the culprit. The brake pedal is not...

There are several of us locally. There is an A3 guy in NE Mpls. I am located in St Paul area. Lots of guys in or near the area. St Francis had a MV show last year-was ok. Pete
