One of the things about the windows - they are already double glazed construction. And it not light glass either. A side window in the metal frame weighs between 40 and 50 pounds. I had to take one off and fix it, then put it back on! You would probably be better off next spring or summer...

1. How much fuel is in the tank (not by the gauge, rather looking in the tank). 2. Gave you pulled the top off where the electrical wire goes in (two screws) and made sure it's clean (no rust, gunk, etc.) and the fuse is good. 3. A brand new in tank fuel pump from the manufacturer is less than...

We will probably be able to make sandwiches for lunch on Wednesday, if I can get an early enough start. What takes two hours in my Corolla takes a little over 3 in the deuce. I'm hoping to roll about 8am on Wednesday. Got to go by the Armory this week and get a Mermite can to feed...

The service line will only have air when the brakes are applied, the emergency should always have air if the pressure in the system is up. Easiest way to check this without "Soldier B" is to open the service line valve with the truck running, then step on the brakes and look at your air...

I've ordered 200 of the pin-on name tag holders so the first 200 people will be able to change clothes and still have their own name tag on. I don't want to have any posts on the specifics of the clothes changing, after all this is a family friendly site and Rally! Should cut down on the...

There is also a cap to go on the external fuel tank (5 gallon can or 55 gallon drum) that the like screws into. The other end of the line goes on the bottom of the auxillary fuel pump, and to use it, you select 'prime and run, aux fuel'. That will keep the primary tank between full and 3/4...

The LD-465 engines used in the White and Oliver farm tractors were strictly diesel, having only a 17 to 1 compression ratio (different pistons). They were governed to 2200 rpm under load and would last a long time between rebuilds. This information has been posted several times before on this...

buy it now!!!!!!!

Kenny, Nametag prototype looks GREAT!

It will take a lowboy, and even then, it will be best to have the tires taken off for the trip to lower the overall height. More of a pain to load and unload (drive on, remove tires/wheels, put inside back of M109, chain down truck, reverse process at end of trip). Hard work in cold weather is...

Dell, I've walked on mine, and you have already met me. Now my roofs were in good shape (no leaks or bad rust spots) and that could make a difference. Strongest parts will be right over the frame rails/seams.

Standard uprights are 45 inches tall, but that gives you a low ceiling when loading cargo (bit the cargo cover will fit).

JP-8 is a more refined version of kerosene, with three additives in it an antifreeze, a algecide, and corrosion inhibitors, JP-5 is just another variant with a higher flash point (safer aboard an aircraft carrier).

TW, Yes, Jim Henry is on Hwy 73! Just don't take any $50 bills with you if you want to make a purchase 20's and 100's are fine, but he does not like US Grant - something about the 'recent unpleasantness' sets him off.

Clifton is a member here so you really don't need to line e-bay's pockets. Replace the soft top, passenger door and windshield frame on the cab, and that part is good to go. That leaves you the hood, tires and the radiator/intercooler to patch and you'll be rolling! AMGeneral does not live...

Phil So the Peterbilt will be blowing by a bunch of green trucks?

Take the cargo cover off when stored inside! The uprights are fiberglass, not plastic.

Amy, Look forward to seeing you - I want to get a group picture of the MKT workers this year, in our aprons! Kenny, Thanks for the sentiment, I share it! And, as a reminder, those who work in the MKT get the meal they help with for free, which helps to bring down the price of participation!

HMMWV's are newer, a lot fewer of them have been surplussed, and the way it looks now, there will not be many more made available, at least in my lifetime (25+ years left if all goes well). As B3.3T said, it's simple supply and demand - the price of each increases till demand matches the supply...

Don, Yes it's all field phone wire. I've got a tad over 34 miles of it, the larger reels from a guy in NY who got seven pallets in a GL auction. I bought one pallet from him. It's WD-1A, two conductor joined together (WD-1 is two completely separate conductors) like speaker wire. WD-16 is...
