"We are thinking that it is the fact they are cheap chinese year old tires that finally saw some highway time under load." Good point.

I have done small sections by brushing on kerosene and laying a rag soaked in it on top for a day. It softens the tar and makes it easier to scrape off. Best done when it is hot and sunny!

Sounds like you got $100.00 worth of bad diesel. I have had that happen. Try the tank drain and see what is on the bottom. 2cents

Sometimes it looks like a battery is going dead, but it is not being properly charged. Often that is because of poor battery connections. As previously stated, acid residue can cause conductive paths and discharge batteries. Disconnect both battery terminals on each battery. Clean the...

Looks great in and out. now - what are you going to do with the rusty chain steering wheel lock? Spoils the image. Could clean it up and coat with liquid vinyl - stuff they make for reconditioning tool handles. Comes in lots of colors.

Sounds very efficient.roflroflTake chemical energy, convert it to mechanical energy (engine), convert mechanical energy to electrical energy with conductor losses(alternator), convert electrical energy to mechanical (compressor & blower) Total of losses should be about 95%

:funny: :jumpin:ROFL says the old timer who has double clutch shifted 17 speed tractors

Thought I made it clear when I posted "9 beers later and PUI is still a mystery!:whistle:" LOL

9 beers later and PUI is still a mystery!:whistle: However, now would be a good time to anwer the original question in easy terms. Engine has a governor, which can control fuel. Properly set, it protects engine from overspeed only when controlling fuel can stop speed increase. It CANNOT...

I do not like bus bar because it does not have fuses. You gotta go to a fuseblock or use inline fuses - messy and a real pain when an inline blows at night and you gotta find it and change fuse (don't ask how I know) Is that pix what you have? Well, then - you do not have to spend $. Looks...

Best to stay with DC. Don't add complexity and issues. I would go to a civilian boneyard and scap a fuseblock and the feed wire with the fuseable link. Put the fuseblock in a convenient place, hook it up - fusible link protects feedwire and fuse block. Now you can run whatever you want off it...

It looks great - I did not know you could do that with house paint. So - you gained comfortable dual unit AC, civy interior. What besides 24 volt system do you give up? Do Civy 'burbs have weaker frames, suspensions? What is the difference?

Duralast is Autozone house brand - usually comes with lifetime warranty. My experience on civ brakes - on backing plate, you will see 2 circles smaller than a dime. They are the heads of the pins that hold the springs that hold brake shoes against the backing plate. Break them, - cheap and I...

How were the bearings? Did any of the journals have to be machined? Do you install new rings?

I'd confirm it by phone. I am suspicious - doubt Govt would want that stuff back - would get new. - maybe some kind of scam - someone else wants your stuff for free? Just say'in

#12 wire is too light to handle the amps - would expect it to get hot with a good starter. I use a heavy screwdriver blade, jack handle, piece of copper pipe, or wire larger than #6 if i have it. I would drop the starter, check for rodent debris/ nest in the bell housing that might have gotten...
