Thanks, I will check it out

If you are referring to the 3/8 stud post, that is what came on the battery so I'm kinda stuck there. I would like a better cable between the two batteries, the stock one had corroded so the tabs were now more like "c" connectors than regular lug tabs. The biggest one they had at napa was a 2...

Replaced the starter relay (the top post fell off when I touched it with a wrench to change it, so it was time. I also made a quick battery bracket to hold the batteries for the winter. I will eventually make something better but for now this will keep them from bouncing.

Ahab, Unfortunately no, I have not heard from any SS members since posting my plea for help. I have been talking to representatives and they would like to introduce a bill to support us but that would not be until the next session in the spring. I would hope that this legislation would be...

I have zero salvage experience, so for this you are relay getting what you pay for. How about using airbags to float them when the tide comes in? I have seen bags float some big things (oil and gas pipelines) and they worked well. Float them and drag them toward you. you might only get them a...

Edit, I looked at Idaho (forgot that I did) It is indeed favorable.

Wisconsin looks like it has some limitations on appearance and age. If you can title it as a regular vehicle as well then this would put it on par with Texas. I still need to look up Florida Idaho and Utah.

I just read Louisiana SB549, That looks good, now to go read Florida's take on all of this. Thanks for the suggestions, this helps immensely.

USAFSS-ColdWarrior, Thanks for the clarification. As of May this year Colorado has removed the ability for military vehicles to have any on-road titles. Now that I understand that Texas allows multiple types of registration for military vehicles I see why people see it as favorable. If...

ID HB 506 looks pretty good, just days that military vehicles can be registered for use on the road.

I looked at Texas and it seamed a bit restrictive, parades and exhibitions only. That makes it hard for the search and rescue and volunteer fire departments to use them. A couple of people have said Texas though, I wonder if that is as good as it gets?

Strange, My original text is showing up as an add banner, and so is Gunzy's reply. SS technical issues today?

With the various changes of State Laws that have happened over the past decade, can someone recommend a state law that is very favorable to former military vehicles? I would like to present one of the existing state laws to Senators and Representatives in Colorado that are favorable to our...

Clevis in the Pintle. I have just learned something. Thanks to all for the great replies, It looks like the Pintle is indeed up to the mundane tasks I might throw at it this winter.

I have no idea of the impact loading capability of the pintle or surrounding structure, it looks strong but I was hoping to get some knowledge of what others have done or if there is an approved method.

I'm used to smaller trucks where the advise is never to attach a recovery strap to a hitch to prevent stored energy in the strap from turning the broken hitch into a cannon ball. Now that winter is approaching I am looking at the Deuce and wondering what the preferred method is there? Is there...

Floridianson - I'm curious, did the fluid engineer give any reasoning to why the transmission would run cooler with a thicker oil? I've always assumed that a thicker oil would allow components to heat up more, but that was always my assumption, I don't have any basis behind that.

That was one of the first things I did as well. The oil that came out looked good, smelled fine, tasted great. I did not see any signs of trouble, no aluminum, no burnt smell but I do wonder how many transmissions have survived vs died. The most noticeable change has been the transmissions...

And apparently I can't proofread, transmission works fine, not forks fine. Oh well, I hope you all can figure out what I meant.

I know I have seen plenty of failure threads on the 1545, are there any out there that haven't failed?
