Stupid Mud Daubers!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I bet some of them techs wondered what that (diesel) smell was. You should hear the whining in our shop when we bring a diesel truck inside. I bring mine in sometimes just to stink it up. We have a Ford diesel with a plow they park inside, it's nowhere near as...

I have replaced the plastic sleeves (missing) on my M1008 and also on an 81 C20 I had with a chunk of 1/2 PEX water line from your favorite hardware store. Makes a huge difference. I'm going to get a bushing kit for the hinge pins to finish the job.

Note to self: 1. Read links posted by doghead. 2. Read labels completely. 3. Get bottle of tank cleaner. Thank You Everyone

Wally World, the super tech brand, says TCW-3 or TWC-3 outboard motor oil. I'm just telling you what I've learned here, please correct me when I'm wrong

I think 1 oz per gallon is what was recommended some where. I know I use more than that.2cents

I'm using a blend of Diesel Kleen and 2 stroke oil too. Pretty heavy on the Kleen for now, I'm not taking any chances on gelled fuel. The 2 stroke oil is recommended by several people I trust. Old Number 13 seems ok with it. Papabear, I agree with you.

Negative on the mystery meat, Squirrel on a stick sounds like a redneck feast! I knew I should have waited to check in on this thread. But I have never been known for my sense of timing.:shrugs:

Well you guys talked me into it. Findlay is pretty close to me, but I didn't know they had a show. Sounds like fun, and a good chance to meet people from here.

Wow good luck there. I bought my M1008 without those switches and {NOTHING} worked. I would swap in a new switch. 10 minute job, including fetching a beer. I bet you could get one here easy.

My 1008 chirps the tires quite a bit. Hot pavement and tight turns at stoplights at low speeds make the best chirps. I giggle every time!

I'm going to butt in here. I've worked on lots of stuff, from cars to tractors, bobcats to motorcycles, civics to grain trucks. I don't believe that CUCV's are much different from 1970's farm tractors, once you understand the basics, and read a couple of TM's for the particulars, they're pretty...

So that means it could actually be LOUDER under the hood than it is now? Is that possible? I kind of wanted to put a stereo in it to have music when I'm working around the barnyard with the engine off, but I don't know if I could hear music going down the road as it is.

Warning accepted. I will be certain not to make THAT mistake. But an M880 in the barnyard would not offend me at all. Those old critters are pretty tough.

Really??? They don't have an acc position??? I never tried to find it but I never thought of it not having one. Kind of like the turn signals always work, key in the truck or in your pocket. Are there other little secrets we need to know???? Like don't feed them after midnight? Guess a...

Delivered 10 sandbags on a pallet to a co-worker today. His F250 (04?) looked like it wanted a helper spring. He said the 1008 moved up 1-2 inches when I picked up the pallet with the forklift. Pretty similar GVWR, the F250 dropped 4-5 inches. I assured him his was much faster, being a V-10...

Is that something new? I almost always use Soldier B, then follow up with a power bleeder. I have had issues with power bleeders in the past. They are great for getting rid of old nasty fluid though. And for bleeding out fuel filters.

I really love to watch antique truck and tractor pulls at the county fair! 80's technology, at your service.:grd:

I got mine!!! They got a hot start option too. I put the old original card in the box. For an emergency.
