Well the County turned down my permit because there "is no need" for this in our community (kind of like we don't "NEED" a gas station, go out of town) There are a few locals that are convinced the vehicles will destroy the country side with diesel soot and smoke, shake the ground and create...

You know, I have not done that yet! Im on my way!

Here is how I spent my 4th of July. www.driveatank.com The location is Harmony Mn., after reaching some resistance by the "locals" we moved on a three prong attack. It seems as thought this city likes us, enough to send 6,000 e-mails in our support! A few more of our vehicles have showed up...

Hey nice to see there is interest in the project. Lately the Drive a Tank adventure has consumed my life. www.driveatank.com I did have a chance to get the interior finished up. All that is left on the "cab" is to fill the weld seams on the hard top and slap some 383 on. I also finished up the...

Two more vehicles hitting the yard thursday...y

Hey, dont you need to use epoxy primer with CARC paint? Im not CARC guy but when I started painting my Ferret I came across an "dark olive green" Dupont epoxy primer. Just thought some one might be interested. That way if you miss a spot it dosent look so bad. The number was 2580

RE: Re: RE: Might be looking to start over- built 3208T-deuc after a little thought more gears would probably help alot, the 3208 has a small "power band" every one I have seen had a 13 speed behind it...

RE: Re: RE: Might be looking to start over- built 3208T-deuc I think it might be wise for you to get the compresion cut down or you will have big problems with a turbo on an N/A motor....

RE: Re: RE: Might be looking to start over- built 3208T-deuc 5.9-5.9-5.9-5.9 ITS THE ONLY WAY TO FLY Way better power to weight ratio than a 3208 and good parts around, I have a 3208T sitting in the yard and went out of my way to get a 5.9 and let the 3208T lay there.

If you need 24 volt parts for a 5.9 look at a clark/michigan 75 payloader, ours had a 5.9 that was all 24 volt. Personaly 12 volt for what we are doing is way better. What if you are on the road at midnight and need a head light in 24v? or you need a jump at a truck stop? I dont think you are...

I have it striped to a bear hull and I put every seal in the wheel station. Going to repaint inside and out. The motor will get new bearings too this way I know what I have.

ok so i re checked the trany and you are right, where I got mixed up was that the drive shafts go OPOSITE directions on a ferret but, So when I turned the front shaft the other one went back wards, thus looking like it was a diff front to rear.

You have a point, but the stolly was made to cary 10,000 pounds plus pull a trailer as long as he dosent do this it has not added any more stress that it would see loaded. A ferret on the other hand is built right to its max GVW Another thing on the front drive shaft removal. Has any one every...

Interesting pic's....That salamander thingy sure is kick A$$!! i have designed a hydro suspension for the crew cab, and all you will need is two rams and a "motor valve" to do it like you are talking. A motor valve vents both "A" and "B" back to tank when in "neutral" i have a D03 24V motor...

Hey good idea with the ram, perhaps it would be good to get it where the torsion bar pushes on the frame. That way you wouldnt have to over come the spring all the time.

Wow, guess i never got into th stuff that deep, will be good to know when we start the Tank Limo.....1400's on a saracen with a stolly motor would be a nice rig if the tires didnt rub, Good highway speed. That or repower with a 5.9 cummins and an allison auto

The drive train is the same parts as your stolly, the breach block was removed and a plug welded in the barrel. That was the old spec when it was imported, our Abbot has a hole cut in the high presure chamber and the breach is cut in half. yup all the stuff is ours, thats just the left over...

RE: Re: Ever Seen a crew cab M35 on 16.00 20 how much would you pay to have air brakes :-)

RE: Re: Ever Seen a crew cab M35 on 16.00 20 Hey guys, yes it is coming. It is slow at this point. I am in starting a new venture, www.driveatank.com. Been trying to import vehicles. Also working on a machine gun rental store where you can shoot machine guns INSIDE or outside. All of this while...

HAHA ever thought about a 5.9 cunnins deuce!!!?? Kinda like the one I have? Ok sorry bout that i just got a kick out of it. Any way 1300 FtLb seems plenty big, are you sure its that big? you are probably looking at around 600 FT lbs. out of that motor tops if you didnt swap pumps. Most 180...
