    500 gallon tire?

    That's cool. Had no idea they could be towed like that. You better start a thread about how to hookup 12 - 24v taillights to that thing ! Jakob

    Legalities of WMO in Mass.

    Maybe if you tank gets 'dipped' , Dont jabber on about how you are burning wasteoil, Act all shocked. "OMG ! what the #### is that black sludgey crap in my fueltank ??". For good measure, curse the last place you re-fueled... And act surprised that the motor's still working. The inspector's...

    So, what do you use your blackouts for?

    The local Wildlife agents have mil-spec blackouts fitted to their SUV's. Looks kind of weird seeing a modern sleek SUV with clunky blackouts bolted on the front & rear. They do a fair bit of creeping about to catch poachers, trash-dumpers and so forth. Caught me and the Mrs. once too...

    strange lockout hubs

    I know them well they are fitted to one of our old trucks, But Their brand name escapes me !! Very simple and heavily made, Easy to use but the actuating levers can get sticky and will need a screwdriver or similar to pry it loose from its keeper to allow it turning to the locked or unlocked...

    Trailer electric plug

    If you are trying to dismantle connector on a trailer, The type of trailer connectors I have is the big rubber shell with the flap over the contact pins... If you remove the hose clamp at the base end one can push the cable forward toward the pins and the whole inner pin-holding rubber grommet...

    Running Moonshine???

    Us Norskies know a thing or so about moonshine too, It's not just Southland thing ... Alcohol has low BTU content, I would be surprised if a multfuel would run on it. Aside from a fun experiment, I think if it did it's power so low it might do no more than shift about the forecourt. Rgds. Jakob

    Trailer use

    My guess it's just military styled. Or atleast a very limited production. Note the COTS lamps and 2" trailer receiver thingy. Now the COTS taillamps are not a certian giveaway as they are being installed on some new equipment notably MRAPs and associated sweeper vehicles. Jakob.

    Deuce trailer receptacle diagram

    Look at American Super Lights, They make a good range of the typical 4" round and 6" oval LED taillamps that are 8-32v and comparable priced to other manufacturers 12v only LED lamps. One thing, Its only their taillamps that are 8-32v, Their various marker lamps are 12v only. Rgds, Jakob

    Poor mans wheel alignment

    The string method works, But as you noted it needs a lot of running around to measure and re-measure etc. and if you bump the string holder or something its all start again. I have a flat smooth trowel finished section on my shop floor. But one could use something like a sheet of plywood or...

    M109 Camper Build

    Campers are great fun. Glad to see you are using your boy as justification to build out ! One thing with rigid foam insulation, I built a camper once and used rigidfoam, It works great as insulation for climatecontrol, But it does seem to transmit noise more than the fiberglass batting was in...

    Glow plug resistance

    Right, Measure from points 1 & 2. They should read but a couple ohms. Also, while it's on the bench you can briefly connect it to power to see if indeed its heating up. Dont leave it switched on too long, They are intended to be screwed into the motor what would absorb some of the heat it...

    Need a rivet set

    Does the part need to pivot on the rivet or do the rivet need to be set tightly and secure ? Either way thats a big rivet to set with handtools and have it formed to look good. We rivet by handtool a lot of pivot joints 1/2" & smaller, use a torch to heat only the end of the rivet and re-heat...
