    Getting started from scratch with a Deuce in 2024?

    Um, @98G 'S ad has a substantial decrease in price as a result of the MRAP rims and 395's being sold off of it...

    Getting started from scratch with a Deuce in 2024?

    I wasn't clear. Full air conversion for a deuce isn't a thing. Full air begins at 939series or newer.

    Getting started from scratch with a Deuce in 2024?

    The things to think about on the M35A3 is the automatic transmission and the Cat engine. My preference is a manual transmission. I've got nothing bad to say about the CAT other than expense. AlReal air brakes are a substantial upgrade, even over the dual circuit brakes. All things...

    How do you move your generator(s)?

    They make forks with a frame that take the place of the bucket. They're not a lot more expensive than those bucket ruiners. I have no idea how I ever lived without them.

    How do you move your generator(s)?

    I second the ringing endorsement of pallet forks on the tractor.

    M816 Wrecker Tire Conversion

    I like singles. I just don't think they're the best choice for a wrecker. (And I have a wrecker with singles)

    M816 Wrecker Tire Conversion

    The easiest way to put super singles on it would be 395s on LMTV rims. I'd keep it dualled for stability reasons.

    M1101 with troop carrier seats

    I've never seen it done with an M1101. @CARNAC did something similar with an M101 if i remember correctly. Like you, I'm thinking it'd be pretty trivial to accomplish.

    Towing a dead M1083 with M1079

    You're reinventing the wheel. Glad hand to glad hand air lines are readily available off the shelf in most truck stops. Your idea has merit for running air tools. Gladhand to female air line quickconnects are something to keep in the toolbox of every airbrake truck...

    MEP805 and wet stack

    I don't have an 805. I know some of the more advanced larger machines have on board resistance in order to artificially create load and prevent wetstacking. Is the 805 one of them? In answer to my own question, it appears not. I was able to find references to 805s that have wet stacked...

    Towing a dead M1083 with M1079

    I've done *this* for a couple of miles. I'd think you could get away with essentially anything for a few blocks.

    MEP-802A compare to Miller Big Blue 500

    These machines are set up in two different configurations. One way has it idle at 1300 rpm until loaded and then it jumps to 1800rpm when loaded. The other way has it run constantly at 1800rpm. Rental machines are typically 1800 constantly, due to the fact its cheaper to build that way and...
