    Legal Issues that could effect all MV Owners

    Swiss, I have put a $200.00 check in the mail for the lobbyist. I really appreciate your efforts trying to get this idiotic regulation corrected.

    Legal Issues that could effect all MV Owners

    Swiss, Send me a PM with your address and I'll send you a check. I previously had major problems titling my 1998 M35A3. It was bounced repeatedly by DMV, but finally went through and a GA title was issued. How's that tank working out?

    Sullair Sullube Compressor Lubricant

    If you can use it, you can have it for free, just shipping. It's not classified as hazmat so I can ship it UPS or FedEx Ground. I'll let you know what the cost would be.

    Sullair Sullube Compressor Lubricant

    Has anyone tried burning Sullube compresor lubricant in a multifuel? Tried search, but could find nothing. Someone just gave me 6 gallons of new lubricant.

    Pennsylvania Army Bumper Markings? Some Help?

    Lots of family members saved letters from GIs overseas, especially in wartime. Ask if any exist. Also, see if you can look at his discharge papers. I have a deuce that came from the 28th INF Division. I contacted the unit in the PA National Guard and they were very helpful regarding the...

    Zout's Cookout

    Sorry, I forgot the photos of the truck that got shot. Unfortunately, the photos are lousy.

    Zout's Cookout

    OK, I'll tell the story. Mind, that I was not involved in this until it came time to gut the hog. My son-in-law Chris borrowed my F-150 (fortunately, old and worn out) to hunt out of. I made a feeder out of 4-inch PVC pipe about 4 feet long with a bunch of 1-inch holes along the length and...

    Zout's Cookout

    Zout, I'm ready! My son-in-law just shot a 350 - 400 Lb feral hog on my property, and there are a lot more tearing the place up. Maybe I can bring a hog to the festivities. He also shot a hole in my F-150 when he shot the hog, but that's a story for another day. At least he didn't shoot my...

    Brand New MRAPS Being Scrapped - A Sad Day

    I just heard on the news yesterday that all the MRAPS in Afghanistan are scheduled to be destroyed when we leave, apparently none going to the Afghans. It sounded like they were to be destroyed on-site and not brought back to the U.S.

    Portable Battery with Slave cable

    I think that's a great idea. Keeps you from becoming battery-poor replacing batteries in trucks that are not routinely used. How about mounting a slave-cable receptacle on the skid, permanently connected to your good batteries? Then you could use a complete slave cable. You could also set...

    Dot 3 or Dot 5

    Every time the lid or cover on the MC is removed to check the fluid level, air enters the system from the outside allowing moisture to enter the system, and additionally from venting. As the temperature drops, water condenses and immediately mixes with glycol-based brake fluid. Over a period...

    Deuce battery question

    I have had excellent luck with 6TL batteries. Both of my deuces came with 6TLs installed and one is still running with the original 6TLs. With my M35A2, I replaced the original 6TLs this year with new Interstate 6TLs. Based on the date codes on the original 6TLs, I have gotten excellent service...

    Deuce battery question

    You actually didn't need to separate the batteries to charge them separately.

    Deuce battery question

    Deuces are all 28 volt systems. You have two 12 volt batteries hooked up in series. How are you trying to charge the batteries? Do you have a 24 volt charger? If so, you charge the batteries at the same time in series. If you have a 12 volt charger you will need to charge each battery...

    Small spark when I connect the batteries on the 002?

    For what it's worth, my MEP-003a doesn't spark when I connect the battery cables. I just checked again to confirm. I keep a Soneil Model 2404SX1 charger on mine continuously to keep the batteries charged and in good condition. I have two more I keep on my two deuces. Great little chargers.

    To Winch or Not to Winch a No-Winch M35A2? Opinions

    I use the winch in my A2 several times per month, mostly pulling logs and rock on the property, and I have never sheared a pin. I also have a winch on my A3, but I have never used it. A winch is extremely useful. Personally, I wouldn't consider a deuce without a winch and I love the Garwood...

    wheel studs

    I once purchased a 1962 Triumph TR3 with wire wheels. Little did I know that someone had switched the front hubs, left to right. After driving for one day, I lost the left front wheel while driving. The right front knockoff was also loose. Keep the left hand studs.
