Fred, The link didn't come thru as a clickable hyperlink, so copy and paste it to your browser. I'll be at spaces K-11 & J-11 Yellow Area. >49 8N Ford Tractor (In case nothing else starts) I have a 1952 8N with front end loader and rear mounted blade. Handy to have around.

Fred, The annual rally held in Maryland, near the Aberdden proving Grounds, is one of the biggest and best mil-vehicle rallies in the country. Just off of I-95, between Baltimore, MD and Wilmington, DE. See this: http://www.wacbgmvt.org/

I'm not used to driving with my lights on, but do turn them on once in a while when in a MV. I went for a drive, put the headlights on and forget to turn them off when I got back. Didn't see them until I went out the next day. There might have been a poor contact in your switch, thus causing the...

Thabks for the plug, Lance. Fred, I don't know how to ship racks as an assembly. One way out is to obtain all the hardware and do as Lance suggests, get new wood. Maybe you can venture to Aberdeen, there's usually racks there. I sure wish that I had all those A1 condition J-pipes I sold at...

You probably have plastic wiper motors. Common problem and the only solution for me was to replace them. If you do buy new, be careful. Last year I bought five new plastic motors from Winer. They were imported junk and only two out of the five worked when installed and they went belly up within...

If you have a gauge in the truck, go by it. If not, post the part number or any other numbers that might be on the sending unit. I probably won't know by the numbers what you have, but maybe someone else on Steel Soldiers will. If this fails, buy both.

Sending unit psi must match the gauge psi. ie: 120 psi gauge/120 psi sending unit 60 " " 60 " " "

You stole it! Gun in one hand and money in the other? :)

Lance, Having the high beams on may have caused the switch to go, but I don't see how the lights themselves were the problem. Something else is/was wrong in the system. I left the lights on all night once. No propblem, it didn't even kill the batteries and it started right up.

My 1945 MB was in almost exactly the same condition. My side panel was also cut out for a CJ gas tank fill spout, but the hole on mine was much larger and all of the hardware for the ax holder was missing, as were the holes for the side pad cushions and footman loops. I did some research and...

Unless somebody switched wheels, you have split rings, not wheels. Big difference and most tire shops around here won't work on split rims. If you saw one, you'd know why.

Checking the oil is a little tricky at first. After sitting a while, the reading should show over full. Check it too soon and it will show needing oil. If the stick indicates full when cold, I add a quart. Rather than play with twenty-two 1-quart containers, buy your oil in 1-gallon cases or...

It's neen done. They used a straight thru of the correct diameter, cut the stack and mounted, adding a rain cap. They say the results were worth it. Depending on the length of the muffler, a short stack might need to be added. You'll probably have to fabricate a new heat shield.

Tighten the set-screw on the knob so it doesn't come off. It's small, look close. Sometimes, besides moving the lever, the red button on the wiper motor has to be pressed in. I usually move the levers a little before applying air. Most of the time the motor(s) are stuck if they haven't been used...

I'm in NJ, so our laws are a little different in some aspects, but what you stated so far is about the same here. I have antique plates (the prefix on the tags is QQ, so we just call them QQ's) on my 5-ton cargo and wrecker. I had QQ's (about $33.50, a one time fee and no inspection) on my...

Warren, Several trucks that I got in via DRMO and GL had a spring seat in place of the passenger bench seat. I also had a 5-ton multifuel dump truck that I purchased at a state sale. It was fully DOT setup and had two Bostrom air ride truck seats in it.

I can't think of a single thing in a multifuel engine that would clunk when rocked, other than a hanging connecting rod. The damaged pan might be an indication of a problem.

I've purchased foam rubber at fabric shops. Take a pattern and the thickness you want and they should be able to use a special electric tool to cut it for you. Get fairly dense foam. Too soft and you "bottom out" when sitting on it. Replacement seats from Memphis Equipment have foam instead of...

About $20.00 ea. for good used wheels in my area.

Interesting discussion about stripes and advancement. I got a kick out of seeing my rank advance, but to be honest, when I joined and started posting I didn't know that rank advancement was based on anything at all. Had no idea and didn't care. I'm in the same catagery as most posters, here to...
