    Air pressure bleeder sounds like someone is using an air nailer in my cab?

    What's an air pressure bleeder?

    You can try tapping the valves with a plastic hammer, but unless it stays down this is not a great way to find it especially if you already have a bent valve(it will return but it will be lower than the others). Most likely you will need to remove the heads.

    Look for a dropped or stuck valve. If a valve hit a piston, you'll need to pull the pan and look for piston damage.

    Yes, it would be tight but yes you could drive it. One of my neighbors(much bigger than me) drove it and he has huge feet and was dressed in snowmobile gear including boots when he tried it out. At 5'9" and 205, I fit very comfortably. 10 shoe.

    Yup,and all the amenities of a normal car/truck. It's winter here and I been tooling around the hood in comfort in this little rig. We have over a foot of snow since the day I brought it home. Took it outback in the woods, it did well(until I got stuck in mud under the snow). It will be...

    M51a2 dump truck towing capacity

    The air compressor on the multifuels are noted in the -10 to not be used with big trailer due to not enough air. It's not a problem with the cummins 250 motor'd trucks.

    M51a2 dump truck towing capacity

    It does NOT have enough air to use that trailer. You might get by but be warned. It also does not have enough power to travel at any kind of road-speed. If you're just trying to go a few miles once in a while, well maybe...

    I'm shocked they do not have a safety latch.

    Many states have laws for low speed vehicles. So yes, they probably can be registered for road use. Google LSV laws. It looks like in my state they allow them on roads with posted speeds of 35 mph or less.

    I would use a 50% reduction speedometer cable adapter , so the speedometer would read half actual speed.

    Oh yeah, it looks like they added the front winch and used it to raise a small snowplow. The front tube brush guard is a factory option. I've put about 15 miles on it around the neighborhood. Truck had 6000 miles on it when I got it. These trucks are governed at 25 mph. The foreign used...

    Seems these little trucks are very common in the rest of the world(as right hand drive). Our government gets them as Left hand drive and in a few configurations such as 2wd, 4wd, with dumpbed and scissor hoist. I decided to bid on one on GP and won it. There were no details but in the pics...

    Hood latch failure.

    The only times I've seen the outside hood spring/holdowns come undone is on M809 series trucks with a massive frame twist.
