Just an update on my shop van. I have replaced the fuel lines. I used 1/4 inch brake line from NAPA that just happened to be coated in OD green. I also replaced some of the 3/8 inch lines. There was ample evidence of leaks. I found several pinched furrels on the short return lines (between...

I was thinking of your cooked block after a night of having the truck running at a fire. I have a few 25 and 30 year old John Deere tractors here on the farm and the only time I seem to have problems is spewing fluids from some old crappy hose during long hours of operation--like hay time when...

Is anyone planning to preview the 4/14 trucks at Richmond? If so, may I request your services? Thanks

Perhaps you want to sell your winchless M818 and get one with? If so, pm me.

Looks like the next project. Its too muddy to do anything anyways, so I can make the time. The truck is going to replace an old Ford F150 we run around with tools, baling twine, logging stuff ect. Its got 5 new tires, new batteries, new battery box, 2 new doors, air shift front, electric wipers...

Well, the air intake is clear. I'd like to think I didn't just fall off the turnip wagon, but my shop van doesn't have a turbo. And she still runs rough. I was serious about that syrup! I'll check back in here when the milking is done. I've been an MV owner for a week now, and a big...

Thanks doghead, will do.

Check on the air intake Yes it has a turbo, but not too sure on checking its operating status. Will trade syrup for valuable info!

Well, I drained the tank and put in 25 gallons of new diesel with some conditioner. I already had the 2nd and third filters off to clean them(waiting for my NAPA to get in the new ones), so I took apart the primary--no filter in there and no gasket either. Installed new filter. She still...

my new shop van came off the trailer with a chain. They drag started it at fort drum and the driver said they "had to pull it a long ways" So we just pulled it off the low boy and then I bled out the filters--getting fuel at all three and no water. But the fuel smelled more like paint thinner...

We've used a wooden dowel dressed up to fit on the wood lathe for an alignment tool. Then, used the "don't force it" rule sliding everything back together.

I just got my first trucks--2 M35s. Both seem to have the lock lever on the three lever light switch stuck in lock. Am I missing something? Thanks

I got the letter the day after my Euc approval. My EUC went to battle Creek on 3/11 "customer notified" came on 3/25. The trucks are here! One yesterday, one today. You guys should here soon!

Thanks guys for the inspiration. I have just bought 2 deuces from Fort Drum and one is destined to eventually sport a log loader.

we use the same cable on a log skidder and they have 20,000 pound winches. And in good condition they won't break. What these deuce winches need is a fairlead.

Hi DJ I just noticed yer from Maine. Vermont is in between. Buy any trucks over at Drum lately? We could have a convoy.

I have to wait for the EUC clearance. Auction was 2/26, paperwork went in right away. Tom

Hi Maple hill Farm. Is your sap running? I was born down there in Cortland. Yes, I think I way underestimated the travel time to Fort Drum. At 6 or so hours each way for the lowboy, I had better consider the road trip. What do people do about cops? Insurance is simple enough, do you also get...

Farmer Logger Sugarmaker Brand new here, so hi and thanks for a terrific site. I have just bought a few trucks from fort drum and was going to use the same guy to go over and get them as I use to move my log skidder and dozer around town. 70$ an hour, and about a 6 hour round trip. But I guess...
