My 2009 klx110 former military kawasaki was stolen not too long ago. I suspect it'll never be found. probably painted flat black and being ridden around by some kids until they break it and then throw it away. but there's always hope. fighting the insurance on t now, They want me to give them...
As many of you may know Dave passed away earlier this year. He and I were pretty close in friendship as he lived not too far from me, we went on may of trips in the short time we knew each other. One such trip was the ga rally. I can’t remember the year, but it was the only time I was there. and...
has anyone ever converted their 101 to a different axle and put the 6 lug 1009 wheels on it? recently got a m1009 blazer and it is currently the only truck without a trailer, so thinking a 101 variant but convert it to accept same wheels as truck towing it, the 1009 blazer, seems simple enough...
cant find it anywhere. looked through tms, don't see anything.
front balancer bolt for and ldt multifuel.
just tighten down as tight as i can get it with lock tight on it and install the lock plate?
need to move an m135 about 25 miles or so. flat tow it with a tow bar as soon as i get the balancer on the m35 replaced. Can i just take the drive shaft out from between the trans/transmission instead of puling all the other shafts? o is it harder to get at?
also saw that the front tow bar...
Was doing some work on the deuce and happen to reach down and turn fan. Has quite a bit of play in it. Didn't think too much of it, but then after I thought about it all day long,,I better check that out. Put truck in gear, parking brake on, still has play. Crank engine over, still has play. Uh...
I swear I've seen a tan soft top for an m35, maybe i haven't. I see a few people have shown nsn numbers for them, but cant find one.
has anyone taken a 939 series top, cut it in the middle and narrowed it down to use it as a tan top on a deuce? i think the only difference is the width, so use...
Needed a set of batteries fir the m35a2. Figure I'll actually out in the batteries it's supposed to have. Dang they are expensive. Napa, with the discounts, had the best deal. But they said they didn't have them in stock. Only one in Kansas City area, but could get another one brought up from...
Has anyone tried putting the flame heater in thier exhaust pipe to the flames out the exhaust?
Been contemplating how to do it on my 5 ton with Detroit diesel. Then git this deuce with flame heater. Thinking just install it in exhaust and bam...flames.
Thoughts?
Changed oil in the newly purchased m35a2 this afternoon. Who knows last time it was changed. At least 8 years ago, or way longer. Oil level was about half gallon or more too high. For the past 8 years it's not seen much road travel. The front seal started leaking like crazy on its first long run...
So, I get home this afternoon from Leavenworth, Tired as all can be because I hadn't been to bed yet, my son was driving, turned the corner onto my street and there is a military truck on a trailer sitting in front of the house? WTH??? About the same time a truck pulls up to hook up to the...
Has anyone ever put a switch on the parking brake lever to hook to a light to warn that the parking brake is on? I saw that the M35A3 has a switch on its lever and looks like it could be adapted to other applications?
I have a tendency to leave mine on and drive off a lot of the times. was also...
Is there a difference between the m39 series 5 tons and the 800 series of 5 ton master cylinders?
AND is there a commercially available rebuild kit available for either one?
Mine is leaking and I thought I would source a replacement and rebuild it and my leaking one to put into parts storage...
Here is a video clip of ELMO doing a drive by. I am not going to go into how fast the truck is actually going, but the reason to post the video is so you can hear the sweet, sweet melody of the 2 stroke detroit diesel as it scrames by. It can be heard from about 3/4 mile away!
elmo drive by -...
a few quick pics of ELMO with the bed moved, the ew fuel tnaks on, and the gensets mounted. still need an 800 series hood to do the front end work. hard top might be in the near future too.
