Have you checked for a cracked frame around the steering box mounts? Rick

Go all the way to the bottom of the page on the left corner and click "higher contrast" you will get the green. Rick

I guess I am in the minority, not only would I not even think of using a political avatar (I don't even have an avatar) I hate politics and politicians. Therefore I ignore anything political. No reminding needed at all.

It's a shame because I completely overlooked the donation drive because the brain blocks out anything that says politics. I would never have seen it if we were not discussing it. That means many others that are not part of this conversation are never reading the fund drive stuff. Thanks for...

Is the upgrade complaint page still open? That is actually my complaint. Things are always moving. I loved the new posts thing but it is confusing, sometimes there are three pages going back a couple days and other times there are 10 posts only going back an hour. I KNOW there are more new posts...

I would love to eliminate that dang yellow political banner! THAT is irritating. It is in the rules so why flaunt it all the time. Rick

I think you will find the #2 is already winterized in the northern states. Most oil tanks are outside so it has to be free flowing down to any expected low temps. And I have to agree with the elevated tanks. Here on the east coast they are very strict (anal!) about oil tanks. You can't have them...

Any plumber and most mechanics would have the tap. The mechanics would use it to do just that, clean up heater fitting holes and such. Put some grease on the tap and that will grab any rust. You are not looking to take off any metal, just run it in till it gets good and snug and you are done. Rick

Once you get up in the standby gen-set range they are just about all American made and they are all high quality. Do not believe that EVERYTHING that the military has is either high quality NOR American made. Once you get into the 70's era and above they were into budget cuts and low bid...

The one main thing you need to consider is price over time. Yes, green stuff is fun...............................and noisy, thirsty, hard and expensive to find parts for. If you need something long term, and it sounds like you do, then a permanent standby running on natural gas is the way to...

There are not many people that can successfully take a picture of the inside of a unit through a small hole! Well done, by the way, get a pipe tap and clean the rust out of those threads or you may have a weeping plug. Rick

I am not at my parts list, can't they cross yours over to a Stant? Make sure it is a 180. I will check my list a little later and get you some more numbers. Or you can go to the g838.org site and look at the wiki. There is a cross reference list in there for civie parts.

I would be careful running at that kind of load (110%) too much. It IS a 30 year old generator with the same age wiring. I love your "Needs". I need my well pump, a couple lights and the fridge. Period.

Looking at Incredilion's sig I can see he would have no issues with this but for you guy's considering a new setup, keep in mind you have to be able to fill that elevated tank.;) Rick

Unless you are an experienced bodyman you want to farm that roof job out. Ask them where they want you to cut the donor off. You have no room for error on a roof replacement. Rick

I think where you are in the country has a lot to do with vehicle price also. Here in NJ I have not seen a deuce for under 4000.00 running for a long time. 5-6 years ago you could get them from G/L for 1200.00 then the prepper craze and the overseas contracts hit at the same time and the prices...

OR, Buy the rebuilt and put it in and then rebuild the one that came out and sell it. Or keep it for a spare. 2500.00 for the truck and 800.00 for a case. 3300.00 for a good truck on today's market, I guess you would offer 2500.00! I think I would offer more than that AND sign the disclaimer. Rick

What do they use in the CJ-10 tugs? That might be an option. I know there is a guy, Steve, that goes to the Virginia rally who has one.

I like the spec's om your off grid system. I can tell you that the return on my 002 filled a 2 liter bottle in about 3-4 minutes. That was running the stock pumps. My only worry about the gravity setup would be getting enough flow through the pump for lubrication and cooling. If you are breaking...

The fluid will be fine but how are you going to drain the convertor? If you do not drain it then you will be mixing in the 5 or 6 quarts of regular transmission fluid with the trick shift. As long as they are compatible I see no problem but it is going to be close to a 50/50 mix. Kind of defeats...
