My SF-97s arrived with another document, a title reassignment supplment which is a state of Florida Department of Highway Safety document. Is this new? I would appreciate input from Michiganders who have recently titled M35A2s. Also the docs refer to my vehicles as utility trucks and I want to...

Some get satisfaction from making repairs themselves and I am one of those. I really like this forum for that reason.

resistor? I would also like to see photos of the inside. If the issue is brushes, I should think a generator repair shop could find the right ones. Another thought is the resistor used to provide two speeds. There is a resistor there somewhere. In many automotive HVAC blowers it is in the motor...

Well said Lifer.

Potable Water What temp is your engine oil when this happens? One common situation is that the water (and there is lots) in the combustion blowby condenses in the relatively cool oil during short runs and idling. It stays in the oil. When the engine is worked hard and the oil heats up enough to...

The road draft tube at 55mph cannot make any practical amount of suction. It's just a way to lead the blowby away from he engine. The important thing is that it is kept clear, so it can pass gas. The diameter is large enough to handle any cyl blowby or crankcase steam generated in a healty...

Keys This thread has convinced me to at least install a keyed starter switch. These are easy to hotwire, yes, but anyone who does so will come off as a much more culpable in court than one who "innocently" pushes the attractive red button. I then think about the battery disconnect schemes on...

Emergency cold start One way old bush pilots started engines in the boonies was to carry a pot and drain the oil into it. When they wanted to go they heated the oil on the fire and poured it back into the engine. A lot of trouble but effective in an emergency situation. It works. By the way, in...

Winch/Wench Yes, there were many trucks set aside at Selfrige that I hope become available. I want one with a loose woman on it.

Good job Harleyrkc. Glad it's home.

Damage Just because it will start does not mean you want it to start. I would be concerned about damage caused during warmup when oil is not delivered to the top end due to gelling or cavitation at the oil pump. I manage an airport and preheating aviation piston engines is generally recommended...

Kudos Excellent news.

Paperwork Kudos gunner_bear. You have some nice clear days coming for recovery. Harley are you still following? Any news on your EUC? I applied for my SF-97s. When they come I think I should go to an SOS that has processed a Deuce recently. Preacherboy, can you tell me which office you went to...

Fall Pic Here is old Rusty enjoying a nice maple near Frankenmuth Michigan. I recovered Rusty just one week ago.

I will apply for the SF-97s. Don't want to. Understand I must. Gosh Gunner, if we are over 4 minutes apart I'd be surprised. I'll give you a call.

Pics Here are the photos I owe. Rusty is on the left and Brakeless the right.

If I search on TR-54, I find threads outlining a Michigan procedure where you pick up a form TR-54 from a SOS office, Have a police officer inspect the truck and fill out the form verifying vin, etc. You then bring the form, $15, a letter explaining the circumstances, and the bill of sale to...

OK so now that I am coming up for air, my thoughts turn to a title. In Michigan do I need the to fill ot the GL form and pay the $60 per truck for an SF-97? Preacherboy, I assume that is what you did for your Dad's truck and just a bill of sale will not be accepted by the SOS.

Thanks for the suggestion. I work about a mile from the Saginaw Wmart so I bought two for $77 as you said. Cheap at twice the price and Rusty started right up. I then burned up a set of civilian jumpers (that I considered heavy) trying to start Brakeless. Won't do that again. I need good Nato...
