    Island Road Trip (PICS)

    Hi everyone, I just wanted to share some pics of some of the things seen and done over the past weekend that included the M35A2 and the M819. It was kind of a shakedown road-trip to see if anything mechanical would pop up before we head out to Rausch Creek NEXT WEEK. Overall mileage for the...

    PICKING CORN (M819 in ACTION, PICS)

    Actually just picking a corn combine to be exact :o . ---------------------- Its an International Harvester and is horse drawn. Any antique farm equipment buffs out there know its age? Its an pretty decent shape, all the wheels, gears, and chains work. They work a little too well. The...

    NHC 250 Block Heater Inst.(PICS)

    For those with the 855 Cummins that encounter cold tempuratures, here are some pics of the required block heater. It can be purchased in 120V or 220V. The latter would draw less amps but would limit you on where you could plug in. The element is 1,500 Watts and the power cord is long enough...

    Which Block Heater Do I Choose??(NHC250)

    Hi, We're still going through some items on the M819 (misc. coolant hoses, alternator etc.) and would like to install a block heater while we are draining some coolant. Looking in the ZeroStart catalog, there are a dozen or more choices for the 855ci Cummins. Which one is right? The catalog...

    Weird GL Sightings

    While perusing GL (not going to get into greater specificity) I just had to post a couple of pics. The first one is just funny. Its the dash of an A3 (those trucks look way too russian.) Second pic: Are these a new replacement for the old tri-switch? Any info? Please post some of your...

    Local Truck Show Pics

    Attached are some photos of the previous weekends joint ATHS/LIAPA show out at the Farm Museum. The M819 has already come in handy. We loaded my busted up Cletrac EHG into the Deuce to sell it. And we delivered it to someone at the end of the day. (I'm really looking for a OC-46w/loader...

    M819/M246 Ops Questions

    Hello, I wanted to run a few wrecker/NHC250 specific questions by you guys. I have searched this site extensively, downloaded and absorbed the TMs and Ops manuals but still have a few questions: 1.) To prime the fuel system, the Ops says to use the hand priming pump on the dash. Can the...

    Stuck in 2nd

    Was driving the Deuce the other night in the rain and was downshifting as usual when coming to a stop at a red light. When I attempted to put it in Neutral as I came to a stop it would not budge. It was a long light on a busy road with no shoulder so I shut it down so as not to burn up the...

    Reflective Tape Question

    I am still on the hunt for my very own tag-along trailer. I would like to paint whatever it is OD (JimK style) but can't stand that mile long strip of red & white reflective tape that you see on most trailers. Here's the question: Can you substitute the tape for marker lights?? What is the...

    CLEANING DATA PLATES

    This is somewhat MV related... What is the safest way to remove paint from a data plate without removing the important stuff? Acetone? A heat gun? I just acquired a Vintage Cletrac model EHG crawler c.1937-41 with a 30HP 4cyl Hercules gas motor. It's complete but needs "the works." The...

    Thomas Skid Steer (Opinions)

    There is a skid steer for sale by me that I'm considering purchasing but I'm not familiar with this brand of machine. I have many hours in the seats of Gehls and Bobcats, but until today I never saw a Thomas. I think they're manufactured in Maine or New Brunswick Oh Canada. Its a T170 model...

    NORTHEAST RALLY: PA, NY, NJ, CT, DE, MD, VA

    I just fired off an email to the people at Rausch Creek Off-Road Park to get some clarification on whether or not we can be accomodated. I feel that off-roading with our MVs is an important ingredient of any rally. I'm sure most of you would not expend the time and effort to attend a regional...

    Holland Hitches

    Alcohol Evaporator, Block Heater etc.

    Hi, Now that temps are dropping, I am concerned about moisture freezing in the air system as well as increased engine wear from cold starts after sitting for a few days. My M35A2 is a soft top with no heater (it does have pre-heater for the engine though.) Alcohol Evaporator Is it possible...
