Finally picked up the M715. Didn't have enough time to do more than really get it back to my buddies shop.
Here are a few pics of the beast on the trailer.
May start picking it apart next week.

Dave,
There are quite a few members in New Hampshire and Maine that would be willing to help if needed, me included. There are some not far from either Portland or Bangor etc.

PS. My Deuce is about an hour from Bangor right now.
Darwin T,
If the ordinances changed after you had been parking your trucks in your driveway for a while, you should be "grandfathered". Check state law to see if what they did is illegal or does not pertain to you.

As it looks now I'll be there. Probably coming from Brooksville, Maine.
Anybody coming from that direction?
Hey ASTFU, hope you bring the mog. Love to check it out.

As G suggested, check your parking brake. The chain dragging description sounds as though you may have a broken "horseshoe" spring on the parking brake shoe. When that breaks, it allows the shoe to rattle and does sound like a chain dragging.

JD,
Use the four conductor cable and pair the wires so you have two plus and two minus and put a lug on them. Make sure you connect the connector that fits the MX-7777 to the wire so that the pins match what you want Pos. and Neg. in the suppressor. Very easy to check. I haven't done it in a...
