I got the shut off valve equipped with a pneumatic/electric cut off set up (which I still have the accessory parts for). I converted it to manual pull cable control from the cab. It was purchased at a auction for around $155.00 plus S/H.
The three ply silicone turbo hoses were around $40.00...
I just do not want to take ANY chances with a runaway so I found a used Rado Deaco air intake shut off valve from a Peterbuilt and modified it to be a manual T-Handle cable pull in the cab that slams the air gate shut immediately. Tested this at close to 2500 RPM and it shut the engine down...
O.K. Blendmaster,
We will be joining the get together. Verified that all four of us can head for the hills and the Big Bear outing on the 8th.
Will be coming in the back way (via Rattlesnake Canyon Rd. with a M43B1 and a M35A2C.) and plan an ETA around 1:30PM.
See you then,
Gordon, Roland...
I think the kids will love it. And I also believe that 95% of most adults watch the language with kids around. I also do not think that you will find anyone dumb drunk as they soon get the idea that they are not welcome when out of control with drink or drug.
This is a get together of a good...
Count us in.
Hey there Blendmaster, long time no see.
You can add three to four people and two vehicles to the we will be there list. Myself, my brother, and two friends.(one friend needs to make sure he can get off work)
We are coming with a M35A2c and a M43B1. Leaving the Flight Line...
Final Build Pictures
Sorry it took so long for the final pictures but I went to Camp Delta for a week and had to clean everything up when I got back.
I have the M1 Carbine for the scabbard but did not use it in the pictures.
The last thing I need to do is see if I can find a period leather...
It is a tire and vinyl conditioner found in most retail outlets and at some parts stores. (They make various purple power products for different purposes. There are dirt and greaser removers as well)
Not a bad idea...I could advertise a daring flight line three wheel scooter jump over a M274 Mule.
(With a maximum speed of about 20 to 25 MPH I doubt it would even clear the vehicle.)
Nearing the end of this build....
Well...I had a &#$@* of a time making adjustments for the tab holes to line up with the frame holes. (elongating two holes, bending the tabs Bed lined the inside of the sidecar box and bolted the sidecar to the frame. Also, added some weatherstripping for the...
Hey there Artisan, looking forward to meeting up with you guys soon at the Barstow get together. Missed last year due to a lot of work needing to be done on the home front. As soon as the dust clears with this build I will be looking to hook up with all of you again.
Stay well,
Gordon
Tried to fit the frame to the bike and found that all four mounting tabs needed some modification due to obstructions under the frame.
Also, the mounting bars were not parallel (off by about 3/4") After straightening the bars and modifying the tabs I got the correct fit for the frame mounting...
