    Thanks to AMGeneral and cranetruck

    Glad to see I wasn't the only one in the area putting green iron to work this weekend :)

    How about alcohol? (and a gas tax question)

    keep in mind that the multi might not like alcohol due to its very high resistance to detonation that makes it desirable in gasoline engines.

    touchy steering on M818 with 16.00x20 's

    bad toe alignment on one side will cause the steering wheel to no be centered while going straight and require effort to keep going straight. What I do is get the steering wheel pointed straight, the look at the tires to see where they're pointing. If its a bad problem, its normally obvious...

    46" Tires Performance

    If you're hauling heavy loads, keep in mind that taller tires will have a negative impact on braking performance.

    cool photos of russian bombers in UK airspace

    IIRC, the B-1 was based on the Tu-160 design.

    Half Track?

    scrap is at $10/100, and that shouldn't be close the 10k lbs, so about $1000 would probably sway them.

    Diesel exhaust color meaning?

    agreed on all counts. I believe the haze is called "slobber" or "wet stacking"

    Break lights arent working.

    okay? When mine didn't work, the air pressure switch was broken.

    LD & LDT465 Upper Limits

    I would think that the amount of air that can flow through the heads would be rather low as a result of the strong swirling action of the intake ports. Also, the 22.5:1 compression causes more stress on the pistons, rods, bearings, and crank. Adding power won't help those items any. Don't...

    Towing a deuce

    Hehehe. I was able to push around the back of a Chev 2500 with a tow-barred Dodge D600 (about the same weight/ size as a Deuce) like it wasn't there.:p

    Deuce Introduction

    First gear and reverse are unsyncronized, but the other 4 are, so it shifts fairly smoothly. stopping distance will be a bit longer than most vehicles, so drive accordingly. Steering in tight spaces without air assist or hydraulic power is nearly impossible, but once moving isn't too bad.

    Deuce Introduction

    I'm buying my friend's M35 for our farm, and its been great to have around. With a 2" receiver added, it pulls the hay wagons through nearly anything, and can be used to pull the tractor out if it gets in a bind. An issue with towing is finding a trailer that can hook to either the lunette or...

    Deuces hard on asphalt?

    There have been some instances of deuces and heavier breaking up concrete driveways not setup for heavy vehicles, nothing about asphalt though.

    M 880 Facts

    I have a plain-jane 880 that has been beaten to tears. Still runs well, but leaks a lot of oil and currently has a seized alternator that I need to fix. Its great for hauling hay wagons around due to low gearing, but little else.

    would trade mah deuce for one of these

    That looks sweet! I imagine it wouldn't take a whole lot to make a bobber do the same thing.

    Curious... There's no place like home ...

    sounds like whatever you get, a winch would really come in handy.
