I almost didn't get to play with the plasma cutter last night, Mrs. Katahdin came home late from Boston and discovered one of our indoor cats was missing, that caused a bit of a ruckus. Luckily we found the little bugger outside in the yard under an evergreen tree. Anywho, everything went...

I agree with you iatractor, but I'm not a professional metal worker, just what we call here in Maine "dubbing around." This is my first plasma cutter and $369 isn't going to set me back a whole lot, but like a good bargain shopper I did my research and found it has favorable reviews. I also...

No, the review is from someone else who has the identical Northern Tool version. Here is a pic of mine that came home today. I wanted to get the word out before reviewing it because Mardens probably has a limited supply. Their store jingle is "I Should Have Bought It When I saw It..."...

The Mardens store in Scarborough has plasma cutters for sale, the other stores around the state might have them too. Mardens is a "surplus and salvage" store chain. The cutter appears identical to the $700 model Northern Tool sells, just painted a different color. It has good reviews both on...

Thanks for sticking with this! I completely understand the problems associated with old server hardware and why the web server was migrated to a virtual server. Incidentally this also makes upgrading the server a sinch in the future because the operating system is no longer tied to specific...

Its getting there, but not all of the HHO using states have switched to low sulfer yet. http://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.cfm?id=11211

Since Gear Reduction Starters were brought up, I'd just like to say mine has been 100% solid since I installed one over a year ago. Here's the thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?78375-Replacing-my-starter-with-a-gear-reduction-style/page3 PS, I'm typing this from SouthWest...

I'll be in Killeen the last weekend of September if you'd like a hand looking. Unfortunately I'm flying SouthWest, bags may fly free but I don't think I'll be able to check in a multifuel before boarding!

Not really, what controls the amount of fuel going into the engine's combustion chamber is the injection pump, not the fuel filters. Whereas clogged fuel filters can starve the injection pump, creating power loss, excess fuel is just going flow past the injection system and return to the fuel...

Nuts, not sure how I missed this thread the first time around. Great work and fabrication! I like how you can lower the box all the way to the ground. I'd like one of these for my M109 too! My immediate problem is I've got some rust between the cab and box I'd like to get at and weld up...

I hope they get there quick. It looks like Doghead has already started fattening up his fuel reserves:

Did they let you tow it off base like in the pictures?

Take the plug to NAPA and ask them to find you a slightly larger copper gasket.

I came home to a flat steering tire on Sunday and had the local Good Year Wingfoot tire shop replace the tube and flap. This tire was originally an unused spare that came with the truck, who knows how old the tube was, so I think the moral of my story is always put new tubes on your steering...

I think the method m35a is describing involves UN-threading the 10 nuts that afixes the drum to the hub. Those of us that pull the axle shaft do not remove those 10 nuts, so the hub AND drum slide off as one piece.

Don't do it. Deuces are a vicious life-sucking b**** from which there is no escape.

Greetings from southern Maine, sorry to hear about your friend. 43 is much too young. I'm thinking maybe "Brit Bits" in Rye, NH can help troubleshoot the carburetor issue and help you find parts. Here's their website: http://www.britbits.com

Here's what a "C" muffled with the Donaldson muffler sounds like. I rev through a couple low gears at the end. My 93 year-old-grandmother was riding shotgun when this video was taken. Engine is a "D" rebuild. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eYUKfo2TE8

Welcome to Steel Soldiers K9 44! You should fill in your home City and State under your profile before you get spoken to by the moderators. I have a State Farm commercial policy on my 66' M109A3, my policy is only $23/month and its not the cheaper antique auto policy they offered. In any...

There wasn't any old snow plow stuff at this fair, but they did have lots of new stuff for sale that would make a deuce seem small. A great place to see old snow plow tech is the Cole Land Transportation Museum in Bangor Maine, supposedly its the biggest public display of antique snow removal...
