Which one would you pick?ARMYMAN30YearsPlus said:I am hoping to get one today if they are still available
This can be your first parts purchase : http://www.smalllinks.com/ZRARMYMAN30YearsPlus said:I would have taken that truck if it was not but now am in contract to buy the 1957 M 52. It has 18K on it and is an International built in Chicago. The gas engine in it is huge and I am quite sure the milage in driving it will be rather poor but I am not good enough at backing my M 127 with the dolly I built so the tractor is coming to the stable soon as the paperwork can be completed.
I just take my older tanks over to a buddy who runs a radiator shop and have him tank them... Then I have him epoxy coat them inside and out...ARMYMAN30YearsPlus said:The issue I am facing with the saddle tanks is they have 50 years of crud in them and I am trying to find the best way to clean the inside of them. I have been told use drain cleaner but I am thinking that something that dissolves gasoline residue would be better.
