    Sad Day

    Selling the house and loosing my storage so all my toys must go (for now). My 725 is already gone and my two 715's are on Ebay. I've put a post under the Ebay forum if anyone is interested. Love to see them go to a SS member. Scott

    Got a pic of a M715 with the snorkel kit installed?

    That would be the very same Nor'easter. I posted pictures in the "Conversation" forum under "Anybody else playing in the rain?" There's a photo of the house as well. Water rose another foot from picture shown.

    Got a pic of a M715 with the snorkel kit installed?

    Figures, the truck on high ground had the snorkel (the one in my avatar), the other two (below) are not so lucky.

    Road Trip to Florida

    Just got back. Great trip, no snags. Really tough on the little ones though. Lotta hours cooped up in a car seat so all our stops on the way were geared for them. So I didn't get any stops in for myself. I did hit SkyCraft while down there. Great place, wish I had one closer. Could of...

    Road Trip to Florida

    Well we're taking off today to Florida. Thanks for all the points of interest. Not sure how much I'll actually be able to see on the way down but I'm definately checking out Skycraft Surplus once I get down there. If I come across anything interesting I'll take some pictures and post when I...

    Newbie CB Radio Questions

    Talk about a rookie! CGarbee Believe it or not, I had no idea the AB-15 split in two. :oops: Looking at it now I clearly see where it splits. Can't believe that tripped me up as long as it did. Well my mounting woes are solved, thanks. OPCOM Thanks for several good tips to get the CB hooked...

    Newbie CB Radio Questions

    I'd like to put an antenna on my truck if for nothing more than show great, if I can use it for my CB even better. I know nothing about radios or antennas so bare with me. I have some bits and pieces kicking around. I have an AB-15 base and three sections of antenna MS-116A, 117A, and 118A...

    Road Trip to Florida

    I'm planning a road trip from Connecticut to Florida in mid January 2007. Unfortunately its in the old Town & Country though. aua Bringing the kids to Disney. Any suggestions on stops along the way that I might want to "accidently" come across? Museums or bases? How about down in Florida...

    IAN's recent M715 photos

    Congratulations on the new truck. I'm glad to see my spare tail gate is going to a good home. Somehow the civil defense blue just isn't gonna match the Fire Dept Red though. All the more reason to shoot it in OD green.

    M-718 or M-715 What is it ?

    You should never get 0psi. It may take a second or two to slowly come up to pressure. It will also vary with rpm. It will vary even more as the temp goes up and the oil thins out. My motor is anything but fresh and it gets no less than 25psi at idle, normally 30-35psi. When cold at higher...

    M-718 or M-715 What is it ?

    Sorry to hear the bad news. Prior to the short circuit it sounds like your carb was way too rich. If you scroll down a couple posts you'll see one titled "hard starting M715" . I had the same problem. Wasn't getting any gas at first so I needed starter fluid to fire it up and once it was...

    Fuel lines on the -715

    Definately stick with metal lines, for all the reasons listed above plus depending on how strict your DMV inspections are there is a maximum run your allowed with rubber hose because it is not self supporting. In other words it doesn't support its own weight and will sag if not supported every...

    M-718 or M-715 What is it ?

    :ditto: 24087 is the way to go. Dave's decals are a great deal. Got a set for myself. Good quality and much less costly then the alternatives. [thumbzup]

    M-718 or M-715 What is it ?

    RE: Alive Glad to see you got it running. If an M715 is set-up right you never need gas to start it. Just give it some choke when its cold and hit the switch. They flood real easy if you try pumping the gas before starting. If its been sitting 5 years then you probably want to replace all...

    Guntruck from the 512th TC

    You'll see a set on my M715 in my Avatar Picture. Another member spotted them on my truck and asked the same question so we started searching based on the numbers and mfg on the back of my lights. Apparently they are no longer manufactured. We weren't able to find anyone with any old inventory...

    Hard Starting M715

    My latest addition to the family (67 M715, all stock) doesn't like to start w/o a shot of starter fluid. Only needs it when starting for the first time. A quick shot or two of starter fluid and half to three quarter choke and it starts right up. Once its running I can shut it down and restart...

    M715 fit on a Uhaul Trailer?

    Well I got the first one home without a hitch. Come to find out the seller had access to a 12,000lb trailer and made my life a lot easier. Just barely fit width wise, in fact the hubs were over the trailer wheel wells but a little room to spare on length. I've been terrorizing the neighbors as...
