Obviously a somewhat rare truck. Cool that you could save it. I see some sort of emblem on the drivers door. Forest Service Fire ? Perhaps it was converted to some sort of fire tanker in its life. Let us know how your search for info progresses. Thanks for posting up the photos.

Howdy and welcome from Colorado!

Howdy and welcome from Colorado!

Looks pretty dang good. Even with out a tear down for paint, I bet he did a lot of masking. The prep work/ clean up is what seems to take the most time for me.

I will be doing some tranny/transfer work and in the process changing the oils. I have been following the "oil" discussion and can relate to your hard won knowledge on oil weights. Hope the syncros and gears have survived the somewhat brief immersion in 30 weight. I presume you are going to...

Howdy and welcome from Colorado. MV's can definitely make rugged off road campers. Kinda cool around the KOA too!

Cantrade--very good job! Great photos and diagnosing the problem followed a good thought process. Good to have all the great folks on the forum sharing there thoughts as well. While I don't have this problem with my MV ( at the moment anyway), I will definitely store your shared experience...

Tigertank--can you confirm what wheels you are referring to please? Is it a true two piece bolt together rim with an O ring gasket between the halves? Or is it a Budd type wheel with a ring on the outside of the main rim that snaps into place holding the tire on. The latter being called a...

Why not do one as an experiment. You seem to be fairly confident that it might work. Would your goal also be to convert it from tube and flap to just tubeless? I think the welding would get a bit more complicated as you would have to make sure it was completely air tight. You would need to...

I have worked with the mentally incompetent and I can tell you they have fear as well. I understand what you are saying though. In my opinion, what they "seem" to lack sometimes is the ability to perform appropriate decision making. Stupid people sometimes suffer from the same condition. I...

No argument here. Over my working career I have been personal witness to a number of electrical tragedies. Electricity scares me and I consider that a healthy reaction for me. Although Most lineman that I have worked with over the years have told me that you can't be afraid of electricity and...

Howdy and welcome from Colorado. I was stationed in Germany for a couple years. Wonderful country!

Love the Tatra, Rusty Loads.

Howdy and welcome from Colorado! Montana is such a beautiful state.

Agreed that personal safety and that of those around you is or should be a number one priority. I am sure that when folks like Edison, Westinghouse and Tesla were on the leading edge of power development they had concerns about safety. Menlo Park was basically a cobbed together garage. Not...

Now I see why you want to know how utilities measure such high voltages. A couple of observations---he has hooked up the utility transformers backwards. he is loading a small field excitation current at 120 volts ( although he never really says)in the first utility transformer with his 4 hp...

It might be helpful to note that at those kind of voltages, on a utility system, it is imperative to think about how many amps may be flowing or are capable of flowing in the line you are measuring. Even the ground wire running down the side of a pole have been known to kill people and it is...
