If you’re just running your truck occasionally and not for your livelihood, and your engine is in good shape, a little added WMO probably won’t hurt it in your time of owning it….like 5-10% to your tank of diesel, it will help with lubricating the fuel system. However, even these small amounts...

The acids in the used oil will be problematic from my experience FWIW…increased wear & coked up injectors over time.

My neighbor has a McCormick-Deering Farmall tractor that is set up that way. It’s pretty cool.

Saw that on ARFcom yesterday…it was mentioned that memberships are available for some commercial charging stations that would offer discounts and whatnot to lower the cost when on the road. It was also mentioned that a company was contracted to build up to 85K EV charging stations across the US...

AWESOME! Will be watching progress with great interest.

Truck looks GREAT! Really enjoyed the pic with the SxS in the bed, beats hauling it on a trailer! Nice work, thanks for sharing!!

I have found @98G ’s explanation of the Power Of No to be applicable more often than not.

Nice to have another former M60 tanker on board! Welcome!

If you don’t cuss at it, it won’t think you’re serious and won’t cooperate….

A nice M109A3 will be auctioned next, once the county gets the title from the state.

Just under $2k/each from what I saw last…my bookmarks aren’t working for them either, must just be visible to winning bidder? It’s been a while since I’ve used Public Surplus…

** Posted with permission from @patracy ** Two M561 Gama Goats are currently listed on Public Surplus. Both were used by Iron County (Utah) Sheriff’s Department Search & Rescue unit, comprised of volunteers. Both have sat outside without being used for several years. Several of the...

Congrats! Looks like a nice truck! If you’re going to re-use WMO, I recommend a centrifuge & polishing/dewatering anything you plan on putting in your fuel tank. There are some great threads in the Alternative Fuels subforum. For the high-humidity & salt air environment you live in, I...

I tried that method several years ago using modified LMTV wheels. When dismounting tires to change them, I didn’t notice any volume loss BUT everything made of steel (even though painted/powder coated) was heavily rusted. Don’t know if I’ll ever do that again, it was a mess. But of course YMMV.

Some of us are just poor working stiffs, can’t afford fancy expensive tools like you rich guys can…. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

As others have said, go to NAPA and get a Ken-Tool duckbill hammer and two large tire spoons. The easiest way to wrangle these monsters is to use some kind of a lift (after breaking the beads), such as a gantry with chain hoist, an engine lift, or even a spare tire hoist mounted on a truck...

I like seeing the entire process; that way it really shows just how much work (and magic touches) go into the finished models. Beautiful work, thank you for sharing!

True! Continuing with same location a few months later, Top was concerned that artillerymen were wandering through our area and commandeering some of our items (trash cans, etc..) for their own uses, so someone made some nice M60A1 tank silhouette stencils that Top got hold of. Once again, my...

Had the parking brake preventing reverse on a Deuce once… There are 3 springs on the parking brake; if one breaks or becomes disconnected, it will engage the parking brake when backing up. Check this first as it may not cost you much if just replacing a spring or adjusting the parking brake...

Don’t think any yelling is called for here; nice to hear of a younger member with such an involvement with a Deuce, especially working one like they were made for. What did you flush your radiator with? Just water? Might try it again with a 50/50 mixture of distilled water & white...
