He is talking about a 915, it has air brakes, it is a road tractor, should be easy to switch over to a 10 speed, I don't see a big deal, the 400 is a standard over the road motor so a flywheel/starter should be easy to find, the 10 speed and adaptor should bolt up, I would look in a big truck...
I talked to all three members that would be coming, for anybody else thinking of taking part, the event has been postponed due to weather (rain, rain, rain), they are goung to try for Sunday, May 19, If the wreather is bad for that date there is a good chance the date will be bumped back again...
A fully armed F-4 drone would have a lot more punch then one of those "LITTLE" drones, maybe we may be getting ready to send Iran or N korea a message.
That is a early 605, a F1 tractor, you can see one of the spares sticking out behind the cab,

Sounds like a BENT a valve, when the cam broke, a valve was full open, piston hit it, bending it, freezing it in the head, now when you turn it over, the piston hits it,. I would pull the offending head AND check the offending piston and rod.
Anybody else went to come to this event, I think there are 3 deuces plus the m819 that are going to take part, if anybody else wants to take part, the directions to the meet up point and my phone number is below. Just please let me know so I can let the event coordinator know, I have been...

Think it depends on how hard the brakes are set in the first place, If I just use stopping brake pressure, they release fairly easy, if I really press the brake peddle down then set them, then it takes a bit of pressure to release them
