Ha HA! True, it did look fun. I got too busy buying parts and showing my relatives around for a ride. I wonder if it's the same LVT that has been at the Findlay show? got some pics of the PBR coming.
Honestly, if you didn't want that wheel setup then you bought the wrong model 101. I would like to see some dollar figure quotes on what a trailer shop would charge for the axle/hub job. I don't see how it could be cheaper than getting an A2 from the start. Best of luck.
That's actually a good question and well answered. I've overheard people at rallies incorrectly assume they are the same on quite a few occasions. I've noticed some good deals in surplus for the 900 series vs. the 800 series due to availability of parts and the relatively fewer 900 series in...
It's def the clutch or brakes dragging. Try bleeding to see if your brakes are actually getting pressure like Doghead said. Also if you're able to move a little bit when they're dragging they will cause heat. A laser thermometer on the brake drums will let you know if there's a temp...
I'll be there with my pops "Old Bill". Will have cash in hand. I'm looking for the trailer plug recepticle for my M1009. Also potentially looking for radios. I'll only buy those if they are funcional or maybe non-working if the price in right. I'll keep a lookout if anyone is looking for...
I'd love to have my house close to work, with a full shop that nobody knew I had. I'm tired of people asking if I can fix this or that. I seriously don't have enough time for the things already on my own plate. Good thing about the 1009 is that I can't hear the phone ring; it is of course...
Took my 1009 on its first real ride this weekend. Man, is it a great feeling! The combination of weather and my work schedule had kept it on the driveway and off the road for too many months. I finally got my butt in gear last week and got my historic tags and insurance through Gulfway. Once...
****, you can park one where a tree just stood if you have a running start! Anyhow, my 1009 still makes me smile, and it starts every time. so...:razz:
There was a thread on this within the last year. I think the main point that someone pointed out was due to the sheer weight of the trucks the ROPS would require a quite massive amount of metal. This would of course would make it more top heavy than the truck was designed for. However, if a...
Question for you guys. Gulfway just shot me an email saying they'd email me my new ID card for my vehicle. Anyone with Gulfway eventually receive mailed cards, paperwork, etc? They left it short and sweet and without much of an explanation. I would only assume the paperwork would be mailed...
Ditto. And remember they demilled them by cutting them in half right in front of the seats at first, then later on cut them in an "X" from all corners. Somehow people rewelded them both ways, so don't forget to check for welds both places.
Good lord guys!!! It's time to at least get a 1008! You're brave. With my luck the trailer would somehow smash the tow vehicle, break loose, and roll down a hill in front of a bus full of nuns.:roll:
BTW, my father uses an old Farmall with a pintle hitch from a M151 with a riser to move his...
Same thing happened to me. I'm in the process of making a steel channel that the bottom of the vent window will sit. A rod is welded to the bottom of the channel to act as a pivot point. I got to the point of needing to weld the channel to the to the bottom of the vent window frame. The...
Like previously mentioned, Mike is a cool guy. Also, if they are draining fluids now then it is a recent development. It would definitely make loading a little tougher for sure.
