We had the same system on our 900 series five tons in the early 90's. The bottle is the same as an old style propane cylinder. I think it is 1 inch. While I was still active duty I had one find it's way into the tool box of my ranger. I took an old propane torch and removed the nozzle and used...

Like Bjorn, I thought it was only while cranking. Are your instructions printed from a kit or are you talking about the dash placard?

I have the ether injection and it actually came with a bottle from the military. The is a place for the spare under the hood near the driver's side headlight. I have wanted to get one to keep as a spare but have yet to find one available locally. Lee, What store did you got to that had...

I recently bought a carbon pile load tester from Harbor Freight for about $15 bucks on sale. Not as fancy as the computer controlled ones but when I work in as a mechanic and parts manager this is what we used and it got the job done. I figure $15 was worth being able to check batteries at home...

Re: RE: Re: RE: Requirements in Michigan to drive a 5 ton. I could see a bigger problem if the same local police sees you driving around with a payload everyday on the historical plate. I know most of the guys around hear so I should have no problem anyway. They know I don't drive it for...

If I remember right the M203 range at Fort Campbell had some vintage armor for target practice. Most of the time we were using paint rounds. I think it was a half track. A crying shame. In Korea I just blew up farmers pattie dykes. I got to fire off a live AT4 and a live LAW rocket launcher...

RE: Re: RE: Requirements in Michigan to drive a 5 ton. Note to all. My truck has a historical plate that is zip tied on the bumper. This is not legal. It needs to be permanently attached to the rear of the vehicle with a light. I have the light but have not had time to attach it to the truck...

RE: Re: RE: Requirements in Michigan to drive a 5 ton. Westfolk, You just gave me a handy situation to use. :wink: Chuck

Re: RE: Requirements in Michigan to drive a 5 ton. Rizzo, The commercial plate is kind of a weird thing. You can get a commercial plate for a four door sedan and it used to be that all pickups had them even the non-commercial trucks. When you transfered a plate from car to a truck they...

That is why I always know the code before I make the stop. :lol: :driver:

The federal DOT stuff applies to commercial motor vehicles. There is no federal mandates relating to Non-commercial endorsements. The key about who to talk to state or local whatever is that they are commercial enforcement certified or active commercial enforcement officers. Several years ago...

I am sorry but I can't get the links to work so please cut and paste.

Derby asked me to look up something related to F endorsements to non-commercial driver's licenses. There are two endorsements that apply to private and farm related driving. If you are driving for a farm operation and meet the other requirements you will need an F endorsement for any vehicle...

He was just trying to get by the profanity filters.

RE: HMMWV Before and After I did the search and it is GulfWay Insurers of Hudson, Inc in Florida. Here is the website. http://www.racensur.com/ Yes I could have walked out in the 20 degree weather to check my proof of insurance but I am sick and don't feel like going outside.

RE: HMMWV Before and After Tedg, My son and I remember seeing your ex-truck at the Clare Show. We had the slightly rusted out M1009 near the driveway at the other end of the show from you. It was a great time. Sorry to hear about your old vehicle but is sounds like you might be able to make...

In all states that I have checked it is not the vehicle or combination that signifies the need for a CDL it is the purpose. If you are not engaged in any commercial enterprise (commerce of any kind) then you do not need a commercial driver's license. If you are engaged in commercial purposes and...

I have to agree with CTEN. I looked into the requirement for the class b license and the only one I found in Maine was what a driving instructor needs to teach driver's instruction. Massm35a2, I think the guy that stopped you was wrong about the license requirements. Talk to a certifed...

I read through the posts and have checked the Maine DMV website and I think there is some confusion here. The plates probably were so much because of weight but weight does not determine whether you are using it commercially so I think it is a misconception that you had to get "commercial"...

I was lucky and a more experienced lady was sitting next to the one registering my deuce for me. The younger lady vapor locked on the make of Kaiser-Jeep, a 13,000 historical vehicle, and how a 1969 vehicle could never had been titled or registered. The other lady just kept telling her to put...
