WOW thats a kick in the stomach- I admit I do stupid thing like that once in a great while- but always try to use a fan nearby- but I try to learn from other peoples mistakes. But never looking at the labels and doing stuff like that, since I was a kid ( that could explain a few things). I...
Speculation like stocks -supply and demand theres is a lot of units out there now and more available soon - this is the last year for these old work horses - no foreign government wants then so they dump then on the us- the vehicles are sold for more money that they can get for scrap metal. :cry:
I don't know how much experience you have had or research you done on that vehicle, caution when driving at high speeds, when stationed at fort Hood I was a MP with the 2nd Armored Divison, we lost 2 soldiers on the highway when the vehicle flipped according to the investigation report it was...
I love it, but have you figured out the break down on it as hours- cutting, welding, fabricating, painting and don't forget and including research, sketching, concepts

I have and will be stripping down m35 and m109 for parts and hauling them to the Iola show, if you need front or rear axles, springs, tires, engine hoods, radiators, transfer cases- well you know what you need or want - PM me
Do you have access to a air compressor, try blowing out the fluid into a container of diesel fuel, putting pressure on the fuel system, displacing the fluid and air at each junction- just a thought. :roll:
Not only can you tow a deuce but try a deuce with a trailer with about 50 miles on the Illinois toll way, I should have taken a few pictures. But you always appreciate a MV member who always willing to give another member a helping tow back home...
