I ordered from them and had great service. They even contacted me to correct my order since I ordered too many of the end sections and only one of the middle sections. Saved me money and got me what I wanted. Contacted Iowa from Maryland using a NVIS set on 20M (14 MHz) HF. Condition was used...
Para - what model #'s for the filter? What did you put under the insulation, looks black, Rhino? Are you leaving the guard black? I have tan on one side with black antenna and I like the look. Need to paint the other side and will probably go with tan also.
Made it back safe from the Ohio trip. 1400 miles in 4 days. No problems and the only fluids I needed to add were diesel fuel (19 - 20 MPG) and windshield washer ;-) The hills of West Virginia were beautiful on US-50 and I-68, much better that I-70 and I-76. We did have to use the truck lane on...
Lots of nice vehicles at Findlay. Got an antenna tip for my MS-11X and a 48 star flag for a display case of my late (WW-II) uncle's ribbons. USS Argonaut KIA 1943.
Natem / was that your truck in the old dealer lot across from Hara Arena? Headed up to Findlay for the afternoon with my son. Maybe we can hook him on a green vehicle of his own. He is driving my M1009 just fine.
Arrived in Dayton safe with no apparent problems. 500+ miles. Had to slow for a deer on the back road. Good chance we'll hit Findlay Saturday afternoon. How late do the vendors stay Saturday?
Been on the road for 3 hours. The Private (16 year old son with a learner's permit) has been driving the last hour. On I-68 in Western MD heading for I-79 in WVa and US-50 in Ohio. Only problem so far was a stuck rear gate glass at Chik-Fil-A! Nice scratch in the window tint now :-(
Although I would takes goats in a small trailer or a pen in a pickup bed, I would not take anything but the smallest calf that way. We have a horse trailer for horses for a good reason - their mass need to keep them confined and stable. Same for cattle. Find a friend or rent a stock trailer for...
Have you looked up the doghead relay mod? Sounds like your glow plug relay may have failed. Have you checked your battery voltages? Your 2nd battery (the one farther back) may have failed - it should read 24V +/-.
Good luck!
I am planning on heading out to Dayton on Thursday for the Amateur Radio "Hamvention" - the Mecca of Amateur Radio :) I drive my M1009 100+ miles a day already, Dayton is only 500 miles away. It only has 35K miles on it and was just restored this winter by 82ABNMP (great job David).
I would...
picked up a nice M101A2 to go with my M1009. No problems on the 80 mile ride home. The lights even work! Need to clean up my M1009 receptacle though, bring out the wire brush.
My kids start on a Bobcat Toolcat 5600 at age <<16! My daughter drove one 12 miles between farms for me (I was following in a truck with a trailer) when she was 15. My son did notice last summer when he first drove my pickup that it moves when you put it in gear, even without stepping on the...
