I used the Napa filter in your pic when I replaced mine but the filter that came out was the same size as the Napa but the hole was much bigger in the Napa filter. The big hole creates a small problem but you can make it work.

I've hauled a small crane (16,000#) on a dual tandem gooseneck with my Dodge 2500 Cummins. Load placement is the key. I would never recomend hauling these type loads on a public forum though because you've got to know what you're doing when you get above 10,000# behind a single wheeled truck.

The only place I've ever seen it is in the woods and at sawmills. Alot of farmers use it around here for sideboards for their grain trucks and such. Some people also use the root to make some sort of tea.

Locust will alot of times twist up real bad when cut into boards. They do make good fence post though.

It's a native tree around here. May not have them in CA. I hear redwood has some of the same anti-rot qualities but there's none of that around here.

The absolute best stuff for bows is sasafras (sp?). That stuff will last for years on something that isn't in contact with the ground. All the farmers around here use it for sideboards and such on grain trucks.

If this guy could get some frame numbers off the trucks I bet Carnac could help him out.

If you go to messing with the RPM the rods won't like it and start putting windows in the block so they can escape.

Like barrman said, depends on how nice you want it. If you want everything to be nice and smooth it's going to take a while with sanding, wire brush, or stripper. CARC is some of the toughest paint to remove I've ever delt with and most everything has multiple coats to remove.

Redstone is good for me :-D. 100 miles away. I know you northern guys hate it though :cry:.

Sometimes carnac has trouble with his crystal ball if the truck has been out of Gov. hands for a long time. If anybody knows it's David Doyle. He's forgot more about these trucks than most will ever know.

I think it has been changed where you have to be logged in to access the conversation forum. Were you logged in when you couldn't find it?

I am of the feeling that it's your truck, you paid for it, do whatever you want with it. I would ask you to think long and hard about bobbing this truck if it turns out to be as rare as it could be though. I'm sure somebody would trade you for a more common truck to bob if you want to go that...

This is true. There was a local FD that got in two m715s from the Gov. that needed some work. They had a guy that fixed one of them up and gave him the other one for payment with no paperwork. To make a long story short, something came up and the m715 they gave to the guy was still on the books...

Sounds like a good deal but the smoke issue has me a little concerned. Remember that after a welder looses all it's smoke it won't work anymore :wink:.

Good to see another Tennessean on board :wink:.

Sounds like a m271 trailer. Used to haul poles.

If you don't have a use for the PTO that drove the pump I'd love to take it off your hands.

Sounds like you have a mess. We wear uniforms at work and the uniform company washes them in some sort of industrial process. They can remove grease, ink, and paint but if you wipe silicon off your finger onto your pants that stuff will still be there when the pants wear out. It's some tough...

You don't have to have a machine to mount one piece rims. They are easier to mount/dismount than the stock rims IMO. All you need is a couple of tire spoons. They are hard to get the bead to seat sometimes but there are tricks to that too but won't say too much about it because some people will...
