You can also put a 4x4 across the cab sideways, resting on each door, but it makes it harder to work in there. Don't forget to use a load balancer if you have one (HF cheapie works great) so that you can tilt the tranny just right to insert it into the clutch. Jim

You can chase the problem ground with a test light. Put one terminal (point or ground clamp. Makes no difference if it is an incandescent bulb) on the ground side of the headlight and the other on the grill. If no light, then put one terminal on the grill and one on the frame. If no light, then...

You might also have blown up the new glow plugs in the process of leaving them on inadvertently. They are only designed to be on for a few seconds to a minute. If you can't start it well now, you might check the resistance of them to ground, either individually or as a full set. Individually...

Weather report for the show: According to the microclimatology predictions from the University of Washington Atmospheric Sciences, there will be some rain from late Friday into early Sat, ending about 0800, right when we start the display. After that, there is no precipitation for at least a...

Great! There is no set time to depart, but we usually stay until 2 or 3, depending on the crowd. Most people attending the gun show bail out about then or before. We do want to be there at 0800 or before, since WAC is kindly footing the bill for our fuel. They ask us to be there at 0800 partly...

Two days to go! Last call. Jim

I just got confirmation that we will have plenty of visitor's passes at the gate (Orange Vendor's gate out back, on the west side of the Fairgrounds). Those bringing in display vehicles can get into the display area and the whole gun show for free. This October gun show is huge. Lots of surplus...

Count us in. Hawk transporter. Thanks for being point man on this, Peter. Jim

How about bringing that cute little scooter with you in the trunk? :beer:

Just got confirmation that there are some funds for fuel reimbursements. I'll pass out some forms for vehicle owners to fill out. Simple stuff. Name, address, vehicle. I'll mail checks out a couple of weeks after the show. It will cover (hopefully at 100%) the fuel cost to get the vehicle to the...

Ha! Excellent question, sir! :confused: I've done this for so many years that it didn't dawn on me. My bad. Puyallup Fairgrounds. www.thefair.com Washington State Fair 110 9th Avenue SW Puyallup, WA 98371-0162 USA Directions Hope to see you there. Jim

Here we go again for another great venue! Mark your calendars for the Washington Arms Collectors (WAC) gun show on Saturday, October 12. You can also display on Sunday if you want to. Saturday is the only official day. I am a WAC member and am the point man for this display. It is being put on...

Peter, Put me down for your call list for next year. Didn't know it was happening until I saw a thing on the news that evening. Jim

Wiring Diagram I took a fresh copy of the manual for the M915 Line Haul tractor into a professional copy place to have the 3 page fold-out schematic scanned as one single pdf. When you break them into 3 pieces, it's hard to follow the lines from page to page, what with blank margins and all...

I'll be camping in my S-250 in the back of my civy Ford pickup. Where will I be parking? Up top or down below?

Woo hoo! Par-tay! Ok, count me in for one Hawk transporter. Jim

Here is a technical article written by the designers of the Cat 7155 16 speed semi-automatic transmission. It shows in detail, all of the features and reasoning behind it. Jim

I got my back dirty today and found something. There is a large triangular bracket that holds the air dryer to the frame, and the bolts holding it to the frame were a little loose. I gave it a couple of swift kicks and it sounds like maybe that's the problem. I'll report back. Thanks for all the...

Thanks. I'll look under there again, specifically at the back end of the leaf spring. There should be a grommet of some sort isolating the leaf spring from the support bolt, shouldn't there? If it's shot or missing, that might do it.

I'll try that. The M915 doesn't have a standard clutch to pop, though. It is a semiautomatic 16 speed. Thanks. Will report back.
