Not familiar with northern California, but have driven I-10 to I-8 into San Diego in January. No snow and the slopes were easy - there is a train line running parallel with I-10, just to the north about half a mile. Because of the wildfires in Cali. that route might have some other dangers...
When you hit 26,000 you get into CDL territory. It is in your best interest to keep the gross weight UNDER 26,000 pounds for licensing purposes! Unless you ALREADY have a CDL and plan on keeping it! Even then it can get expensive quickly.
Are you trying to come up with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating for registration purposes? If so, and your state has 'weighted plates' (the greater the GVWR, the higher the cost of the plate), you need to think carefully. First what is the empty weight of the vehicle, second what is the maximum...
But you were not in SC when you got pulled over, and the police in other states do not necessarily know the laws of other states, they have enough of a job keeping their own laws straight.
Daniel, could you come up to Columbia one Wednesday afternoon/evening (not with the deuce) and we can show you a few things about the deuces that will help you with your machine. There are seven deuces at our club compound right now, and Kip is working on his.
IN SC you will be getting a 'property carrying' tag that depends on the maximum weight declared for the truck. A deuce with a declared maximum cargo of 3,000 pounds will cost about $109 a year for the tag, if you go for the max value on-road, you would be talking about a GVW of about 24,000...
Tan vinyl, six vent roof, and the two aluminum grills on the other two burner stations actually go in the top of the ovens when baking (where the square head pans are sitting) to sit proofing sheet pans of bread products before they are baked. While the correct transformer is not cheap, there...
We did some DUKW ones (they were brass) by spray painting the whole thing with black paint, then using 600 grit sand paper to lightly touch where the lettering was to remove the dried paint. You need to do a little part at a time or you will need to repaint some of the background. Once done a...
Have not tried with the current software, but in the previous version, you could 'print' a thread, about 400 posts at a time (no pictures) and then copy and paste into a document (.rtf) and save that. Tedious, and I only did it for one thread. The big problem is keeping all the threads 'up to...
It's been at least 8 years since I read the thread, and I've read thousands of threads on SteelSoldiers since then. I can't point you to a specific thread, I just know it exists. I'm pretty sure the videos were on you-tube.
The main 'other' use for the deuce engine was in the White and Oliver tractors. There is an old thread here that goes over those uses as well as in sled pulling (along with some videos when the engines came apart). Good Luck!
52 amps times 120 volts is 6240 watts, you are drawing 7000, or a little over 58 amps, or about 112 percent load. Could that contribute to your problem?
Those are all older radios that have been 'out-of-stock' in the surplus business for half a decade. That being said, they do show up on e-Bay every now and then, and Fair Radio in Ohio and Haynie Electric in Texas might be able to locate one or two. Might also try Murphy Surplus in El Cajon...
