Here it is cropped from of a pic I took of the backhoe. Look familiar to anyone?

I'm getting an M715 next week if all goes well, and that needs its own resurrection work. So if I were to get this truck, it would sit in the woods at my house until I got to it. But I did note some pretty significant rot under the doors...like more than through the body. I really like bobbed...

Ha! That's a heckuva misplacement...Hallstead is 4 hours north of this truck!

I should note, it's in a parking lot on the property. The lot obviously hasn't been used in quite a long time, but this is a commercial property where it would be reasonable for a tenant to park one of his vehicles. But it looks like there have not been many tenants, and definitely not many...

I went to look at a backhoe at a commercial property, and there was a rusty old deuce behind it. It was not the backhoe owners. He said it appeared there 10 years ago, and the landlord wants it gone, but no one knows whose it is. It's not sitting like it was stolen and parked, its like it was...

The lot I just saw sell recently had holes in the block with tape of clothe over them... I'd love to find a new one, I really like these motors for various applications. Hydraulic lawn tractor, log splitter... If I could vary the fuel flow, I'd think about sticking on a beefed up gokart.

Tool shed, firewood storage, man cave, semi-underground bunker, shop, fireworks assembly, reloading, etc. I'm installing an indoor boiler in one to make it an outdoor boiler. The container I have is kind of crappy and leaks. I don't want the boiler turning into a rust bucket after the first...

I'm hoping someone bid on several and won more than they want... I need one, but was unable to get back in and up my bids on the ones that remained closer to closing. If you bought several unintentionally and are now ringing your hands trying to figure out how you'll pick them all up, please...

That hybrid inverter sounds like an awesome device. I was going to home brew a similar system, using a 3.5kw UPS to run us during the overnight, and a genset to recharge it during the day.

Nice work, it looks factory. Do those little strap hinges have much margin for weight? They look like they'll eventually sag, making it difficult to line up the horizontal pins. I also wonder about having a load in it putting pressure against the tailgate. Does it make it difficult to pull the...

Said no state safety inspection ever... :)

It should be noted that sometimes the power goes out for no explicable reason at all. The weather could be fine, economy good, but a squirrel blew the fuse at the end of the road (it's happened to me several times). Moments like those, I still need the pool filter to run, water heater to finish...

I need several MEP-80x parts, and find the classifieds to be lacking much content for these gennies. The stuff I need is nuisance little parts, not worth buying 100 from the manufacturer or government-priced $50 nut and bolt assemblies... With all the bad ones (over 40 I've counted!) to sell at...

It's not going to be really possible to guess at what size you need without a real good idea of your loads and tolerance for inconvenience. IE, if you're going to be running for a week after a hurricane, and you only want to use a 10kw unit, can you tolerate shutting off the AC for 2 hours to do...

Great tip, thanks!

I think you guys are thinking of two different hose systems. One is the return from the injectors, that's the 3.5-4mm hose. The other is tank to pump to ip.

I'll look for it, that might make things easier. Thanks.

Thanks!

Here are a few pics to match the thousand words...

I installed the air cleaner in it's permanent location last night. Rather than create a monstrosity of adapted piping, I used the original piping and created a lesser monstrosity. I bought a 1.5" to 1.5" neoprene coupling for $3 at Lowes. I then cut off about 1" length for a ring. I fit...
