As a mechanic by trade I have no problem getting dirty, it's just the amount of work needed to keep one of these rigs fully operational that's the problem. I like to "play" with my toys , not spend most of the time fixing them. In fact the suspension rods can break just setting there on a M60A1...

I just remember all the maintenance we had to pull on our M60A1 . You would go out for a few hours of "play" time then spent the next 4 days doing maintenance on the tracks and road wheels and etc....... The same went for my IHC bulldozers. Use it for a day then pull maintenance for a week !

Here's the vender I use. http://www.stainlesssteelfittings.com/Stainless_Steel_Adapters_s/2003.htm?gclid=CLPltKrEh8kCFdKGfgodiw0Jow They seem to have the best quality and prices and they ship really fast too ! The gauge is my fuel pressure gauge. I have one at the entrance to my filters and...

My father helped build the "ALCAN" highway before WWII . He wasn't in the military then but was working for a supplier that brought in materials for the military crews. He drove a 1930's 4 ton flatbed IHC. He had all these pictures in his photo album from that time and also his time in the war...

Garrett. I tried to find that 3 way fitting at the Parker place. Parker doesn't sell anything like that. I have another place in Seattle that they recommended. This place sells a lot of stuff to the fishermen who go to Alaska. He felt it looked like something he had seen in a marine diesel...

We had a break in the crappy weather we've been having here lately so I went out and finished installing my Injection pump oil hoses. I replaced the broken brass 45 degree fitting with a stainless steel one and installed the 919 PTFE hoses. I then fired up the old girl to check for any leaks. It...

How are your tires in the snow ? Do you use chains ?

Agreed ! Jim does excellent work !

All the Grote LED's on our busses are garbage too. They said the taillights should last 10 years. Well they have lasted about 2 years on average ! We have warrantied so many I cannot even count how many I've replaced ! The LED markers are the same story. Now the new headlights are a different...

Actually who put who to work ? Looks like you did your fair share there !

I have a bad feeling about winter here also. They say it should only be cold and rainy, but when are the weather people ever right ? We had a great summer and fall so far. I think winter will slam us.

Good looking truck loosescrews ! and welcome to our "Green Wonderland" !

Those Firestone T831's look MEAN ! I would love to have a set for my truck. How much did they cost you ?

Yes. My MOS was a 1811 Marine Tank Crewman. I later made a "lateral" move (changed jobs) to the motor pool in a Landing support Battalion. There I was the company welder, driver and later mechanic.

What did your 395's go for ? I haven't seen any for less then $300.00 a tire plus the adapters which add another $1000.00 . So that's around $3000.00 minimum with all the accessories. Probably costs more now.

You need to post this in the "classified" section.

I know everyone thinks I don't like the 395's but I actually do ! Their a great tire, just extremely expensive to run. Also like Jeepsinker said you wouldn't have made it out of the desert on singles with two flat tires. I would go with the 11.00X20's myself. The G177 are extremely good tires...

I always thought if I ever buy another deuce I would "Long Bob" it too. Looks good !

Does anyone know what year this engine came out in ?

To bad. :-(
