Good Morning, I have a 1954 M170 in need of new tires. I am looking at Coker Vintage Tires 650 - 16 super traction, is this a tire appropriate for my MV or should I look some where else? Sorry if this sounds simple but I am not a mechanic I was a HM in the Navy and inherited this M170 when my...
The date code DOT MK60 LRHV 1400 so if I read the web page right the date of this tire is the 14 week of 2000. I monkey math has the tire at 16 years old. I guess they have done their time. New sneakers for my 09 on Monday. Then work on rust removal and rattle can paint.
So as I was waiting for the U-joints to arrive from Rock Auto, no real change to the thumping till Saturday. Driving back from helping out at church with my daughter the thumping picked up and got a lot louder. We were able to pull off the road to a parking lot to find that the right side rear...

I broke my accelerator cable 3 months ago and have not been able to get one that is the right length. I live in a large commercial fishing port and was able to manufacture one that is working for now. I ordered one from local Auto parts store and one from on-line Auto part store both come from...
Warthog, Here is the update from my charging problem. I had a dead battery this morning so as it was charging I took the alternator to get it tested. They had it putting out 13.8 under power and said everything was working. They did change the voltage regulator. I also took the time to clean...
Thanks Warthog, I am going to the shop in the AM for a bench test and a rebuild. I will check the ground then for cleaning. I have cleaned most all other connections. I will keep you informed on the out come.
