Quick question after searching to no avail. Does the NHC-250 burn oil as fuel in a mixture? I've got a truck who has stayed here for a while, it's almost out of Diesel and I've got some used motor oil to help fill the tank.
If I remember correctly, your truck will need a different transmission when you switch to the Multi Diesel as the Gasser's didn't have an Overdrive gear. Other than the poor fuel economy, I think it'd be neat to have a Gasser M35 Deuce or perhaps an M211. As for retrofitting a Multi Diesel...
Thanks Guys, Clinto, did the gentleman I sent the "D" Turbo to finally decide to use it. It was a good take off of my truck, I'll repeat, mine has a "C" now!!!
Thanks Tripp, didn't catch this till now. I had fun with that truck, hate that it went to a different home but hope that you get another piece of Green Iron soon. I will say, if anyone want's to make a deal with Riddle1, he's a good guy. The reason it took 4 trips up there, we needed some odd...
Had the chance to meet 3dAngus this morning. Super nice guy. He brought me a case of Coors and a set of 3/4" towbar feet in exchange for an MTVR towbar. I always thought I'd need a set of 3/4" feet in the event I ever had to tow my CUCV but to my surprise, my M1028 is drilled for 1" pins...
You still have the slave connector hooked up with 2 batteries. You're still wiring the batteries in series and still running 24 Volts. With 2 batts, you're good down in my neck of the woods.
Adam, we're in the same boat. I'd like my Deuce to come as well but I'm tied to "Proud American" so if anyone from SW GA would like to drive a Deuce and M105 up, let me know. PB is a tough boss but he takes good care of me.
If it's a Barstow truck, I can almost ensure you that there are no petroleum based fluids or batteries in them. I'd advise against towing as the diff's and transfer will be drained as well. As far as M939A2 quirks, I've had trouble with fuel shut off solenoids. They do a great job shutting...
I think I get about 10 MPG's in my M35A2. As posted above, I don't know why it would be relevant, they run good, it blows black smoke out the stack and that's all I'm worried about. For What it's Worth, it can pull 23,000 pounds on a towbar albeit probably used more fuel on that trip. If...
Only thing I could add to this is make sure you have the beveled side of the fuel shut off facing upwards. Don't know why I felt like it should be any other way. After what seemed like 20 minutes of getting the tip to line up in the head, I went to install the cover and was a "No Go"...
Fantastic score. I looked at the auction pics but it was on the complete opposite end of the country from me. I'm certainly envious, I'd like to make a camper out of one some day.
Just don't run the headlights and don't shut the truck off and it should be fine for the parade. Use a battery charger to top the batteries back off when you've completed your trip and you should be fine. If you have a 3 lever switch, switch the lights on as you normally would and then move...
Negative, to a local Wrecker company that felt the need for more winch power and more off road capability due to people getting trucks stuck going to the deer camps on slick GA Red Clay roads. They never called me and it would've been cheaper for them to do so but then again, I'm not Commercial...
I had a similar issue with my CUCV recently. I left it for a static display, someone turned on the interior lights which means, someone rotated the light switch and turned on the under dash lights since CUCV's don't have a dome light. Anyhow, the back battery was good but the front battery was...
The wrecker was neat, I enjoyed it's abilities but in the long run, it didn't see much use other than joy rides. Someone else thought more of it and it's got a nice home. I think recovering stuff with a tractor and a lowboy with a winch works better for me and since the DRMO business around my...
I've been offered various amounts for my M35A2 and M105 combo. They always made it back to my house and never changed hands. I agree, keeping tags and insurance and then feeding the combo diesel and performing maintenance is not always a practical endeavor. I enjoy knowing that my combo is in...
