It was a great show. 3 days of airplanes and trucks. Life is not just a dream. If you have a screw loose your dreams can be fulfilled.The setup day was Friday. It took longer to setup as we were gawking at the skies while they practiced. The F18 was surely my favorite. Raw power!!. Hats off to...

My bad it was a Carquest number 86244

Here is the picture of the Napa filter that fits the head. wrong picture.correct picture. The number is 86244.however when I put that number in the Napa site it doesn't work. When I put it in the Wix site it comes up with 33244. I am thinking this is merely a filter not a water separator/filter.

I have a NAPA filter replacement on my M1070. It doesn't have the clear plastic bottom or electrical fitting. It does have a drain valve. We were able to get a filter based on the filter head not the filter itself. I will post the Napa filter number as soon as I'm at the Het.

You can also use a heavy duty 3 axle tow truck to move it. We towed ours backwards. We chained up the axles and dropped the front driveshaft. Towed it the 600 miles home. glad I did. It had computer problems I would have surely been on the side of the road frustrated while waiting for our truck...

My M1070 would stall or derate when I first got it home. The culprit was the computer. I sent it to Inland Power Group in Butler WI. Ray in the parts dept was terrific. It could be corrosion between the computer and cooling plate which effects its ground.Although that's a common problem not the...

DieselFreak Thanks a lot for the information. Its great coming from someone who really knows. My Het will be used about 1500 miles a year to veterans events and functions. It has 741 miles on it since a Oshkosh rebuild in 2004. I would like the vehicle to do 55mph. I really don't want to do...

Autocar I wasn't picking on anybody. He is getting great advice from everyone. Its my way of saying life was a lot easier when you just wanted to do something and have some fun. you did it. Now even Joe Lunchbox is regulated as a large trucking firm when all he wants to do is get his hobby...

I can tell you the CVRt line of vehicles are really fun and small enough to put in a standard garage. I have a Scorpion. I like the Sabre as well or the Striker oh heck I like them all but the best looking ones are those that have a gun or TOW missile launcher like the Striker. Look at the HMVF...

So what we have essentially told the guy that is excited to by a tracked MV. Is to instead buy a military bicycle.Oh what has the world come to? aua

Frankly if its in California you need a A or B license to pull a CVRt. That is because Calif has eliminated all fun from doing anything. They now regulate every move you make and how you will protect yourself from yourself in the name of safety. OOPs I digress here Sorry Yup you need a A or B...

Yes I asked about that. The program that they have I believe is proprietary. When the sheet of all the data came with the computer it all said N/A. we thought we got a shell of a computer that would take hours to fill in the info had it not been programmed. Chip at Inland thought he could...

The parts supplier to Oshkosh and repair facility is Inland Power Group in Butler Wisconsin. They are the Detroit supplier. I want to tell you that these are some of the nicest people Ive had to deal with when finding support on something that is different. I talked to Ray in parts. By far one...

M1070 on the road again. After banging my head on the truck repeatedly, I wised up and towed it to a fellow I know who has computers that can hookup to the DDEC. What was throwing everybody is it would start and run then shut off after about 20 to 30 minutes. The computer was taken off and...
