    Hey there! Congrats on the new wheels! There is something wonderful about driving it off the trailer at delivery time! My M135 was red upon delivery too. It's perfectly okay to have a red one and the local MV club was justs as happy to have another member! Enjoy it, love it and call it your...

    Need Ham Advice

    I have one of these nifty DC to Daylight radios and I love it. I have worked into the Pacific on 75 meters, around the world on 20 & 40. Now I use it for my 6 meter station. It has a lot of bang for the buck. At some point it will come to Brazil with me when I visit the in-laws. Good luck...

    M211 series dump truck

    I want what he is smoking! This is reason to question what abuse this truck may have seen.

    M1008 Front End "Death Wobble"

    I have had this problem a couple of times. The easiest way to detect this is to jack up the axle and spin the tires and watch the tread for any odd wiggles. Sometimes they can also be felt by hand, gently slide the hand along the tread and feel for bumps or divots.

    another new M1009 owner with questions.

    This truck appears to have a body lift. Crawl underneath and look at where the body mounts to the frame. If they are stock, they would be relatively short. Aftermarket has longer bolts and hard rubber cylinders on the order of 3" or so. It is a way of keeping the suspension stock and is more...

    2 odometers @ 00000.0 ea.

    What started out as a bit of generosity has gone a bit awry. These trucks have not been made in a long time and have minimal value to people outside the hobby. These odometers are not mechanical marvels and can be spun to any mileage you want. Its free except for shipping, do what you want with...

    No More Political Avatars or Signatures or Slamming!!!

    In the ham radio world, a couple of subjects are "suggested" taboo and they are politics, religion, and woopie. Most of the time, this guideline is followed. Where we often involved with emergency communications and providing aid to the local authorities when their systems are down, we look...

    reliable diesel rebuilders?

    Hi Dave, This is a great place to lurk and lots of freely available information. If searching the site brings nothing, the folks here will! Good luck with the restoration/improvement project!

    still got radio noise

    Sometimes a diode goes sour in the regulator in the alternator. When that happens you get a very ripply sort of AC coming through instead of clean DC. Easiest to check this with an oscilloscope, but not many folks here have one handy. If you have another alternator hanging around, try swapping...

    M211 m215 m221

    According to that web page, they are designed to run on 12.8V. See if they have something in 24V. That is what the M211 series normally use.
