lol we shall see... the XM818 of Death doesn't go out without a fight.

Well, had an awesome time at Findlay, even though no bowling occurred. I just got all set up here at my current LZ for the week. I have to go through my 36 month locomotive engineer recertification. I cornered the market on M37 water pumps. I left with 4 of them! I only have one M37! lol The...

I've seen it in person, twice! once at Jackson and at Brandons! It is a nice tractor. Too bad he's going to butcher it and put a silly mack engine that only takes one kind of fuel, the expensive kind! lol

Sorry to hear that, everyone was looking forward to it (probably not as much as you guys were but...) You could have it on a shoestring budget and then have the real one later...

Paint it that morning so it is dried on the ride up! Rick, glad to hear you're still going! yeah, would be nice to ride with us all the way, but that is a tad bit out of your way. We will get all this figured out and have a better idea of when we will hit I-75 as we get closer and others...

Angie wants to paint it 3 color. Might buy some walmart special and just spray bomb it for now. Wouldn't take long to make it 383 green though... Could camo it later

Mike I do plan on taking it so I have a 'runabout' Also going to try and get the Whitewater Valley RR museum to let me run it on their tracks...

Hey everyone, Anyone in the south east or along the way want to convoy up to Haspin? So far it looks like it will just be me and JP (EMD567) Hoping to gather up others. I will have deuce fuel available for $3.00 a gallon if that helps anyone. If you want to go, but don't have a truck, take...

John I changed my trip so I will be there with the XM818 at least

I maybe hauling a deuce down that way in the next few weeks- I live right around the corner from Eastover so I could at least pick it up and hold it until you find a shipper, or I might be able to move it if I move that deuce.

Or if you want to trade I have a set of west coast mirrors I'll trade you for the 10 ton ones.

Can't believe I was the first stop on that odyssey. Phil, thanks again for the A/C kits. Going to finish mine soon, I swear! lol.:tinkerbell:

I'm resonably sure that the dog bones are the same as a 5 ton already... my M967 tanker has the same boogie set up as that trailer and it has 5 ton dogbones... Just saying... I'd check first. Nice looking trailer! just HEAVY!

:ditto:

My wife rebuilt the MC in her 1963 M37b1, in our living room! Napa part #1. I think it was like $13... I also found the wheel cylinder rebuild kits on Ebay, set of 4 for like $25... How much cheaper are you wanting to go? Brakes are not an area you should think about skimping on... The...

I've had 0 issues with the lights on my trailers since swapping to the LEDs. 2cents And I've probably put hundreds if not thousands of hours on them.

Are there only one set of lights? if so, the 12v connection will run right to them, and the 24v connection has the resister. I recommend putting LED lights on the trailer. Not only are they brighter and last longer, they are omnivolt, meaning that you can run 12v or 24v and they work the same. I...

Welcome aboard, from the Columbia area!

I love that truck.... can't get over it everytime I see it, I want to build one so bad. I have seen them all three ways- amber one sided facing front, amber one side facing rear, and amber and red with red facing rear. I would think the amber one sided facing front is kind of redundant...

If you didn't get any fire whatsoever on ether, you have 3 posible issues- 1- the engine has lost all compression or most of it. several things might have happened to cause this, all of them pretty bad 2- the path for air to enter the engine is totally blocked. No air, no fire, no ether...
