    Have any of y'all used these LED tail lights????

    For marker lights / turn signals you could use the same lights they use on trailers - we use them at work and they are bright and compact. http://www.truck-lite.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&productId=32152&langId=-1

    THE ORIG. TRACTOR, WRECKER

    Re: RE: Diamond T 981 I think that is just to hold the hood down during transport. You can see a rachet strap going to the front axel in front of the front tire, what looks like a chain binder behind the rear wheel going to the rear axle and a chain around the front bumper most likely tied to a...

    Legal use of veggie oil as a fuel

    There was a recent article about this. DOT was checking tanks of semis and saw a car pull in with a sticker on the back stating it was running 100% veggie oil and they pulled him over...

    Roll back conversion

    They have 10 ton carrier decks so I'm sure it could be done. Most are rated for a frame no taller than 42 inches but if you don't have a low vehicle then you could make it work. You could always just ad a crane and a spreader bar and pick it up that way. Something like this would be cool -...

    Crazy idea for filtering used oil.

    I know the original idea behind this thread has been set aside but I was trying to think of the mechanics of using a washing machine to spin oil. If the inside is spinning and the outside is not, then would you just be mixing the oil? The inside drum has holes, it is intended to hold the clothes...

    Military Fire Trucks

    It has to do with the terrain. Some parts of Cape Cod have 2 or 3 miles between roads. For them it is more effective to knock a few trees over to get to a brush fire.
