I've been on all sides of the off-roading issue. I've driven 4x4s, motorcycles, and yes an MV, off road. I've also been a land manager as well as a land owner. I'm not going to point at any one group of off-roaders, I'm just going to say that off-roaders, as a whole, are our own worst enemy. As...

Yes, I did. I figured dropping the transmission with it on wouldn't be a problem, and it wasn't. However; Leaving it in place while lifting everything back in may not be an option. It's off-center weight, and the tight squeeze between the frame, brake components, and the front drive shaft may...

I'm 99.9% sure the plug leaked, as the cavity between it and the bell housing was filled with grease. Should it seal as tight as a freeze plug, or should the bell housing gasket contain it? If it should seal, then it is probably the culprit. I will be pulling the flywheel and changing the rear...

Went ahead and dropped transmission OK, so I didn't wait until next week, I went ahead and dropped the transmission this evening. ( I get impatient sometimes ) I didn't find a "smoking gun" but found something suspicious near the bottom of the bell housing gasket. The counter shaft plug was...

I've run into this on smaller items screened at DRMO. Generators and gas powered pumps with no oil, and our M107s had no brake fluid. "They" also always suck the freon out of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment.

I thought I would bring back an old thread instead of starting a new one. Here is what I know: I know I'm using the right gear oil. I know it's not over filled. (Actually, it's almost 2 inches below the invert of the filler plug right now) The transmission is not overly noisy and does not run...

Those are called "draw latches" I don't know if you can buy from these folks, but they might be able to steer you in the right direction: Over Center Draw Latches | Southco

When you register/license one of these trucks for the first time, you have to provide the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) with the VIN. (Vehicle Identification Number) He was just saying he used the entire number, instead of just the serial number.

Be careful. The problem with national attention: a. The WisDOT might get encouragement and support from other states. b. Other states might get ideas from it. c. Environmental groups with deep pockets might get involved. d. Enough of the wrong pressure at the national level might result in...

There was also much talk about leaving them in their original configuration. That means bobbed or other modified deuces would be out. OPCOM's new monster with the singled out wheels, added box and lift gate would also be illegal. I understand where the MVPA guys are coming from. I'm a collector...

I wonder if this would work? FU28B, Socket, Universal, Shallow, 7/8", 12-Point Or this one? http://www.craftsman.com/shc/s/p_10155_12602_00915806000P?keyword=swivel+socket

Cool. Looks like a fun time and an honor to be a part of. Thanks for the pix.

It sounds like there is a problem with your truck specifically. Our trucks can sit un-started for weeks and still have strong batteries. M35 and M817. With charged batteries, take off a cable and put an amp meter on it to see how much you're losing. Maybe knowing the rate of flow will give you...

While not a deuce, our M817 (5-ton) has many of the same maintenance characteristics. We've been using it for almost 13 years. We've hauled firewood, dirt, gravel, garbage, scrap metal, and the remains of demolished buildings. The only real weakness I've encountered is the glass and nylon...

In Montgomery County, I took the SF-97 and they did the transfer. The Sheriff's department did the inspection for $20, If I remember correctly. If you have a Florida Title, that should work too.

Do you know what kind of forestry lot? Is it USFS or KY Division of Forestry? I'm about 140 miles in the wrong direction (North) but I know some folks in the Middlesboro area.

Early last year you could have bought a fleet of 100 M35A2s.

I haven't used it myself, but there is a guy at the local Car Quest that used to sell it to the army when he was at the Richmond, KY store. I don't know if he was selling it to the KYNG, Army Reserve, or the Ordinance Depot. All three are at Richmond. I can give him a call and find out, if you...
