. Well JanR, Welcome to the Outfit! Nice to see you digging into the TM's. That will help you an awful lot. I am definitely looking forward to seeing more pictures in your build thread! Tim Mullaney

. Unless I am misunderstanding, the "other side" of the STC / ICE ( Simplified Test Equipment for Internal Combustion Engines) connection is a series of pins that come from a wire that ICE box. Picture below:

The only thing that I have driven with rear steering was a Pettibone M30. It had a bar on the column for left/right and a normal wheel for the front end. It was lots of fun to "crab" it across the yard. No particular reason other than because I could. Needed a picture... There is the...

. That job looks like an absolute ROYAL PAIN in the... well... you know.

. Good deal and sounds like you have good plans! Might be worth a few bucks on the engine in particular to have an oil analysis done on it by a company that does that. Blackstone Laboratories is one place you could look at. They can tell you that the oil is good and clean (but still black...

. That looks really sharp! And the faucet with a spray sure makes getting soap off the dishes a lot easier. Lookin forward to more... Go man Go!!

. Everyone has an opinion - like parts of the body - where everybody has one... For now and until you have everything else fixed I suggest leaving the CTIS disconnected. What you don't want more than anything is to have a problem in that manifold and the system to decide to deflate one or all...

. No TM so far, but there is a PDF that has more numbers...

. In a perfect world - assuming that it is straight on the trailer - you might be able to leave the steering clutches alone - and drive slowly down the ramps. The "tip over" where the vehicle goes from flat on the trailer to hanging over the ramps... Just before it breaks over onto the ramps...

. Don't know, but in the ink business there is also "Adhesion Promoter" too and that might help as well...

. Well, I guess not being a painter - adhesion never even crossed my mind. In my "day job" we put ink on paper and there are adhesion measurements that we do here regularly. Simplest one is a simple tape test and I would imagine that would be something to be done with paint as well. Stick...

. Don't normally get to say it - but - Ain't that the truth! These are really neat trucks in stock form, but they aren't overrun with horsepower for sure. Of course going fast isn't really what they were built for either.

. The article mentioned that the original pump was 87gpm. That 130 was a pretty significant increase...

. Looks like you have a nice patch of woods to play in down there in Easley.

. Welcome to the Outfit! There are quite a few of "the regulars" here that are down in Florida with you. Definitely worth looking into being part of the MV assocation too. That gives you more events and things to need to drive your truck to :) Participating in parades is always fun too...

. My first was the old M4 Tractor. Lots of loads. Hangs off both sides of a standard lowboy and metal tracks on metal trailer is a lot like pulling a greased string out of a billygoat's butt.

. You and @Action are both right. Yeah. The rivet isn't much but like a lot of other things - all it really does is keep honest people honest. And with a switch on a military dash - yanking out two wires and touching them together is like the locking gas cap. Only concern that I have about...

. I didn't know that @Third From Texas was in the K9 Corps :) Maybe we need to upload the Smooth Operator Handbook to the TM Section... Then again too, we would have to take a test to qualify for the download. .

. Well Chuck... Guess I was so wound up in my excitement about the "hey drop it off at my place" joke that I completely forgot to look for a -10 operators guide. Good find and a real useful link too! When I started thinking about unloading a tractor, I just kept thinking about the first time I...

. Looks to me like your partner in crime down by the surf is oogling the babes as they walk up the beach. .
