    Got me an M750 :D

    If you use a commericial tractor to go get it make sure you use a single axle. The kingpin is too far back and the tractor might hit it during a turn.

    Water fording kit?

    Mine has a flapper valve just like the one that engages the front axle. I believe the older gassers had a handle near the glove box for fording.

    Another stuck starter relay

    The mod doghead came up with has worked out well on my 1028. No more problems. as far as the glow plugs go. It should start in round rock without them. Unless it's winter time. The glow plugs are usally reliable. With a good realy and plugs, the card will give you years of good service.

    Mep-016b

    I looked and looked for a airfilter for this getset. I finally gave up and decided to modify the filter can. The WIX#546257 is the best fit for the original. I had to remove the outer centering ring in the filter housing to make it work. I also made a centering plug for the cap end of the...
