    5th wheel wrecker

    If the link works, you should see a Holmes 20 ton fifth wheel wrecker (commercial version) for sale about fifty miles from me. If anyone wants it and makes a deal, I'll be driving by the location twice in the next two weeks... I'd be after it, but I have no tractor right now... It's on Craigs...

    Deuce fuel leak....WHERE IS IT?!

    Check the injector lines (both ends of each). Look at the nylon lines (check the ends and for pinholes in the lines themselves). Clean it off and run it for a shorter time. The lines can and do loosen up, crack, etc... Good luck.

    Anyone buy in event 3577? - Paid in full invoice arrived!!!

    Picking my stuff up on Thursday of this week. Could have done so last week (EUC cleared on Wednesday), but didn't have time to shift my schedule... Once the paperwork got to Battle Creek, everything went smoothly as usual, getting it to Battle Creek was the hard part (for the first time...)...

    Any real Bobbed 5tons.

    John Winslow is working on one right now. Great looking truck. Looked over it two weeks ago when I was at his shop, but didn't have my camera (or the time) to take any photos as I was busy dropping off a truck and picking up some parts.

    I need a front brake drum in N.C.

    John Winslow will have one for sure, as will White Owl. Check also with AMGeneral as he might have one in the back, but I know that he has been cleaning up the yard recently. I've got a couple from a M37 in the yard, but none from a M35 so I can't be or direct help. Good luck.

    1954 M135 for sale in Raleigh, NC

    I talked to Steve about this truck a month ago... He said that it was making a clunking noise in the rear end when he last drove it (about a year ago) and that he didn't know if it was driveshaft related (u-joint) or in one of the differentials. He said that he didn't need it for work...

    I had an email from Aaron on Monday saying that my EUC was incomplete and that I needed to sign and return (fax ok) an export letter. Funny thing is that I've had one of those on file for a year or so and was under the impression that that was a one time only piece of paperwork, and I've had...

    Which oil do you use?

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Which oil do you use? Used to run Castrol Agri 15w-40 but then they went up in price from being a buck less a gallon than Rotella to being a dollar more. I'm running Rotella now... I use a lot of Warren products elsewhere and have studied the specs on thier 15w40 enough...
