You can use spray on foot powder to find the leak. Spray it around the area you suspect the leak is coming from, let it dry and give the engine a crank. There will be a wet spot at the leak. DON'T use body parts to find fuel leaks! High pressure liquids are sharper than farts, they will go right...

PM me, I have a great place to do it. They will give you a temp so you can drive it to them for the VIN verification. They have done my stuff as well as 5 or 6 others. They are in Arcadia.

Did you get some help?

The HMMWVs I have seen have had the decals on them, even under any paint that might have been put on them. How have you been? It's been a bit since I have seen you up here. I have seen you on the MVOOC list. You been to any of the events Jerry has organized?

Nope, I don't have any. I SHOULD have the deuce at the next meeting. It is the only MERDC one around. If you go to the meeting, stop and intro yourself. If it isn't there, ask around and someone will point my ugly arse out. Stay tuned, there will be a few interesting things happening in the...

Good catch! AHH Another so c guy!!

Tach could be off, check it with a phototach or, there is a brazillian made trans that has a different ratio that I have heard will be a 60 MPH transmission.

Thanks for the tip!

Could be the gear pump on the side of the IP or maybe the pumping head.

I know I have promised this a few times in the past, I finally remembered to pull it off of my puter at work and send it to my house. These guys have crebilt compressors for the multi. There might be some others that will work in place of the stock plate mount. Check it for yourself. Brake...

That was a spur o the moment thing from Craig. He called me Thursday and said he wanted to fire it. Friday I stopped by, got a TM, did some skimming and the next thing you know, there it is. There are mounts on the mantle for your bug light!

Yup, checked that first thing AFTER it rolled out of the ruts it was in!

The breech block is gone and there is a ring welded in the barrel about 8 inches up from the breech. Crushing a car!!??? HMMM, now you got me thinking, maybe at the SS day if I can do some persuasion:twisted: As promised, here is a link to a couple of vids, one is still attempting to load...

Those are Freightliner FLD120 chassis trucks. Can you go the FL and order it by vin? Might be easier than trying to fing used stuff.

Trust me, I wanted to take a few laps around the compound, but there were too many people there. I wanted to take it out in the south field, but the TET festival was going on and there might have been a few issues there with some of the people seeing a big 'ol tank cruising around the field with...

You'd turn down free fuel? :confused: I am at the end of my "dieselgas" stockpile so now I will have to start buying it! It has been a good run!

All you local guys, there is ALWAYS a need for volunteers there. C'mon out! I am gonna see if I can persuade Craig into another Steel Soldiers day at the museum. Although it is a PITA to put batteries in that thing, i'd do it again just so others could see and hear it run. Vids should be up soon.

:ditto:That is the best advice. Once you are stuck on a task that is giving you fits, sometimes when you take a break and come back to it a day or so later, you see another way of approaching the same task. Step back, go have a beverage, go play X-Box, go buy bullets, whatever. It will be like...

Had a request from Craig to get the M60 going. After a 1 1/2 hour deal removing 5 gallons of water from the battery box...the seal is gone from the top hatch... and installing 6 fresh batteries, it roared to life after 6 years of sitting idle in it's spot at the east end of tank row. The best...
