    Ideas for tractor rear licence plate mount

    Do you know what your state laws are for plate display on a tractor? In MI, they are supposed to be on the front of the vehicle only.

    International 4700/4900 series????

    Why not just throw an IH cab onto a 5 ton? I thought about doing this before I bought my first MV, but was going to use a 73-87 Chevy C60 cab and front end. Actually I would still like to do this for a bobbed truck, I always liked that era body style.

    Fort Custer Trail Ride Michigan

    The PLS demo was a real treat! What an impressive machine! If I come across an extra $800k, I may give Oshkosh a call. All in all a good trip. We left Saturday evening and developed a pinhole leak in one of my heater hoses, so had to bypass that. I have the original 2 petcocks for the...

    Multifuel not fully warming up, 160 F thermostat

    I have a personnel heater, but it didn't really matter if flow was going through it or not. Here's a past link of my setup for controlling coolant flow through the heater core, coolant filter, and one empty spot for a water to water heat exchanger, which I plan to run a secondary coolant loop...

    Multifuel not fully warming up, 160 F thermostat

    I've seen a lot of various posts, equally divided with some saying their truck is very hard to warm up, and others saying theirs runs up pretty good to 180. Well my deuce has always stayed on the cold side, around 160F, unless I had the cover buttoned up good and was on the highway and in...

    Renaming the Bobbed Deuce???

    From a wife's point of view: "He'd rather spend time with that S L U T than with me!" "If you keep seeing that S L U T, you can just move in with her!" "How many more S L U T s are you going to bring home?!?!?"

    RE: Re: RE: Looked over the M818. PMCS lacking in an unnamed Are the wheel cylinders dry on these trucks with disappearing fluid?

    Any other anti-theft ideas Guys?

    Hook an ignitor from a manifold flame heater to the driver seat, and wire it in to activate with the main switch, unless a hidden bypass switch is activated. You will only forget to deactivate it once or twice yourself.

    Adjusting oil pressure

    Definitely check with a mechanical gauge before you do anything. Also check the oil sender to see if it is a 60 psi unit or a 120 psi unit, and that it matches your dash gauge. The psi rating is stamped on the top(?) of the sending unit. I had a 120 psi sending unit in my truck with a 60 psi...

    commo shelter conversion help

    Depending on if you are willing to cut into it, you could also put in a roof hatch/vent like campers use, for keeping it cooler at night. A hatch, with some sort of vent opening toward the bottom would give you some natural drafting without use of battery power. They also sell roof vents with...
