    Satellite photos of your (or other) MV's

    All I can find is bad pics of my place. When you zoom in close enough to see anything it gets real fuzzy. You can see my driveway from street view but I'm so far off the road (1,400 feet) that you can't see anything from there either. I also keep all my MVs under a shed except a few parts trucks.

    Rotating Engine Stand Suggestions for 6.2

    The heavy one I've got is non-geared. It isn't too bad with heavy engines if you take the time to balance the weight when you mount it. Of course you will have to readjust your mount after you remove the heads to keep it balanced. The one I have looks like this one- 2,000 LB. Capacity Folding...

    Rotating Engine Stand Suggestions for 6.2

    I've got one I've had for years that will hold up a 5.9 Cummins. It's built basically like the cheap ones you see, just heaver. The brand name isn't on it anymore though so I can't help with that. When you get up into something that will hold a NHC 250 you are talking big bucks. I usually just...

    Split Rim Safety

    This isn't really what I'd call a split rim. Most small lawnmower type tires air made like this. They are so small that you can't hardly get the tire over the rim without the rim coming apart. With good bolts and the low pressures involved, I'd say these are fairly safe. My newer Kubota...

    Foreign Objects in oil pan (see pic) NEED HELP

    I'm talking about the piston oil ring. Here are some pics. These are not deuce rings or pistons but you get the picture.

    Split Rim Safety

    It's gotten to where a lot of tire shops won't mess with the two piece wheels anymore. Don't let the vid scare you away from doing it yourself. I'd suspect in the vid they way overpressurized the tire to get it to blow apart like that. Just know what can happen and be safe. If you bolt the rear...

    New Guy from Maryville, TN

    First off, it doesn't matter what it weighs, they go by GVW in TN (which is over 26K). Now comes the tricky part. In TN, if you run farm tags and stay within 150 miles of home, you can get by without CDL. The actual law states that you must be engaged in agriculture but they won't bother you...

    Foreign Objects in oil pan (see pic) NEED HELP

    You really need to replace the squirter. That cylinder will run hotter than the others and the oil helps to make the piston expand more evenly when it warms up. You'll more than likely have piston problems in the cylinder over the long run. You also haven't found out where the spring came from...

    Foreign Objects in oil pan (see pic) NEED HELP

    I think Gimpy may be right. That spring looks like the spring inside a oil ring. I'd drop the pan and look real good at everything before I ran it any more.

    M800 M900 series T-Case

    I run my M932 in low range reverse all the time. I'm not going to shift out of low range just to back up. I also have the "automatic 6X6 low range" feature disabled. I've never had a t-case problem but don't drive like a madman either. The air-shift case should be a good upgrade.

    Missing FDC and other things

    I suspect there is more problems with that IP than a missing FDC. Looks like the IP quit pumping and some shade tree mechanic had his hands on it. It also looks kind of nasty down in the FDC hole. I'm not so sure I wouldn't just swap out the whole IP if one can be found resonable. You don't...

    Engine manufacture?

    You are correct. I made a mistake when typing the previous info. I'll go back and edit the post. :oops:

    Transfer case crack?

    The trick to JB Weld is getting the repair area clean enough. Most people don't get it clean enough and have problems. It actually works pretty well if applied right. I didn't know the trick to do it while it's hot but it makes sense. You could try a heater of some sort to heat the area in cold...

    AIR-O-MATIC cylinder damaged any Ideas? instructions?

    I hesitate posting this because it is very, very dangerous but here it goes. I've ran into the caps being stuck on cylinders before. I have screwed on a air fitting and pressurized they cylinder to pop it out. I've only used this as a last resort as the rod can fly out like a missile and KILL...

    Engine manufacture?

    Injector lines should be the same for all the multifuel engines. The engines that were put in a deuce are as follows- 1) gas engine (M35) 2) LD-465, multifuel engine without turbo (M35A2) 3)LDS-427, early multifuel with turbo (M35A1) 4)LDT-465, late multifuel with turbo (M35A2) 5)LDS-465...

    Engine manufacture?

    More than likely the parts man was wanting to know the model number instead of the manufacturer. You should be able to call him back and tell him you've got a LD-465-1C and be good. If he was a good parts man you should be able to just tell him it's a non-turbo multifuel and he would know what...

    How much leg room in a M931A2

    There's quite a bit more room in a M939 truck than there is a deuce. I'm 6'2" and I'm a lot more comfortable in my M932 than I am my M35A2.

    Melted Battery Terminal, any Options?...And new Seat Covers

    The local battery shop that used to re-cast post would cut what was left of the old post down flush with the top of the battery before they poured the new post. You would think this would make the worst possible bond but they always held up.

    mep-002a and welding

    I've got a Miller Thunderbolt AC/DC which is actually a little bigger "buzz box" than your Lincoln. It's running off a 50 amp 220 plug and I've never tripped the breaker.

    Melted Battery Terminal, any Options?...And new Seat Covers

    Positive battery post are larger than negative post. You more than likely bought a negative post when you need a positive.
