Silly me. All I needed to do was read your signature line. Obviously, not a M211 in need of restoration.

Hey Dave - Neat whatever it is you have in your avatar. What is it - a Ferret?

The problem is your pics are most likely too large to post on the forum, the size limit for SS is 640x480 pixels. Most digital cameras take pictures thay are much larger than that. Go to http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=4255, it will give you a link to...

Call around all your local auto parts stores (not NAPA). Ask if they carry "DORMAN" parts. Dorman is a supplier of all sorts of misc auto hardware parts. When I changed my oil filters, one of the red fiber gaskets at the top of the cannister decided to leak, no matter what I did. Went to the...

Group 31 batteries are the next best thing to a 6TL, but still not as rugged. When you need to replace them, go to the Interstate battery web site and print out a list of every available Interstate dealer in your area. Call every one and ask for a price. I got quotes from $105 to $165, could not...

Ryan - not too bad an idea. Does it come in OD green? I've been toying with the idea of buying the black, brush on bediner coating material from my local auto parts store and brushing on a couple of coats to avoid the corrosion problem. Then I was going to go to my local ag parts store and buy...

What he said! I've done this rant before, but I'll try to keep it short this time. It is 20F outside and snowing and blowing like crazy, but I went out and checked the specs on my U6TLs. They are rated 875 amps at 32F, 750 amps at 0F. There are many different types of batteries - starting...

Sermis, do you have a certified death wish on file with any legal municipality? Your posts are be beginning to really SCARE me!

There is a reason Deuces do not have floor mats, the same reason that the rubber mats were pulled from the CUCVs. Its called water. During rain or wintry weather, water gets trapped between the rubber mat and the floor pan and stays there until either the water evaporates or the floor pan rusts...

RE: batteries Negative on the car batteries. I bought U6TLs from my local Interstate sealer for just under $105 each. Maybe in LA you don't give a rat's behind, but the U6TLs have much more hot cranking amperage and CCA so they will last a lot longer and perform much better than Wally Worlds...

The STE/ICE testers are great, IF you have the test plugs built into your wiring harness. If not, you have a $250 brick. BTW, $250 is a great price, Frank's Surplus has been getting considerably more than that without all the adapters and the manual (which, at least so far, is NOT available on...

Mike, way down in the http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=3978&sid=a089b36ff9379251c19bca63570f4cd9 posting, has two complete STE/ICE testers (complete, so he says with all adapters and a manual - the manual by itself is a real b***h to find) for sale at $250...

Ethan - I still haven't given up on the OB1303 adapter. With some appropriate machining to flatten out the base, the unused gaskets from my Baldwin HD-20 filters to seal the modified OB1303 adapters to the stock oil filter base, and a customized threaded tube to secure the OB1303 adapter to the...

From what I have been told so far (which may be a complete lie) the White -Oliver Engines used a unique oil filter base machined for spin off filters, and thus did not use a separate adapter. I guess I'll have to spend $250 to buy an original White-Oliver filter base and oil cooler and see if...

"C" turbos don't whistle, they SCREAM! You can hear them whine blocks away. When I drive mine through town, people on the sidewalk block their ears as I drive by! And that is with a Car Chemistry Collector Insert, which provides a 5-7 dBA sound reduction, installed in my top stack! With mine at...

The engine container should fit in the bed of your Dually without any problems. The only difficulty will be getting it in there and getting it back out when you get home. I'll go with 2600-3000 lbs total for the engine and container. Don't know the exact weight, but it sure bent the crap out of...

Blowby out the breather is a sign of some sort or pressure getting into the crankcase. As Jwaller suggests, it may just be your piston rings frozen up from the engine sitting too long, a good long drive should loosen them up if this is the case. If you have a blown head gasket, I'd expect to see...

Re: RE: Re: Who knows a knowledgeable Hercules Parts Counter Thanks for the links. After hundreds of phone calls over the past several months I was finally able to establish (according to one of the people on your list) that the White-Oliver tractors did NOT use spin on adapters, they used a...

Bjorn, as much as I totally respect and generally agree with the knowledge you share with us, I can't totally agree with this post. I don't know at what temperature 5W, 10W or 15W-40 oil freezes, maybe in the -40F to -60F range, but I doubt it. Temperatures in my neck of the woods sometimes get...

Try Mike Wee, mike.wee@hawaiiantel.net. A great guy, he has a Deuce with a ring mount and .50 cal! And he bought one of my Deuce lug nut sockets from the classified ads section!
