    how to keep people from joyriding / messing with a deuce?

    Security is not an all or nothing, absolutist concept. The idea of secure being the 1 to the insecure's 0 doesn't work. Security is a spectrum of options. A level of security that would easily deter a casual car (Deuce) thief would barely slow down a skilled thief. A higher level of security...

    5 ton T cases??

    Showing my ignorance, would it be possible to bolt one transfer case to a second transfer case to get more gears and higher top speed without overtaxing the motor/tranny?

    Mep-006a

    A lot of people like converting the oddball filters to something easier to get replacement filters for, like automotive parts. Sounds like you could be served well by pursuing that route.

    FINALLY got a 5 ton

    I want to see what a new NHC 250 looks like. Be sure to take plenty of pics under the bonnet, `kay? I don't think I'll ever see one otherwise.

    GL lots being pulled

    Are the auctionIDs (in the individual item URLs) changing and they're just being moved around between lot No.s and Event IDs or it everything changing but the pics and description?

    1952 Fermont 30KW Recovery!! PICS!!

    Naw. that's the Zombie Apocalypse thread. ;-) Curious, why did you insist on getting a 30 kW gasser? the MEP-005 Diesels are going for literally pennies on the original government cost dollar.

    If you can read this Metal Parking Sign Competition Accessories And no, it's not an accident that I had that handy to just whip out a post.

    generator to run house and well

    YEAARRRGGGHHHHH! <-- Sound of poverty stricken nerd in pain. There were dozens of MEP004s mounted on M200 trailers, some with ASKs from Ft. Meade, and they all went for under $400, some under $300, and a couple even under $200! Why, oh why am I so poor? To keep it topical, (Edward)...

    generator to run house and well

    You have my attention, sir. Please, do tell me more about this diesel genset cooling loop to hydronic radiant floor heating connection. What do you do in the summer?

    Worlds largest civilian move of tactical Military vehicles.

    Largest move of MVs? Eight M809 class trucks? I don't think so. Am I missing something here?

    generator to run house and well

    What about so-called soft-start motor controllers? Any more, those are getting included in HVAC plants just because it means the motor is quietter on start-up, but it also extends the life of all of the components over just throwing a relay and slamming 50 A at 208/240 VAC right into the motor...

    generator to run house and well

    God I hate being OCD. I just spent about 6 hours agonizing over this graphic. This is how I would like to wire up my nearly off-grid back woods dream home for 3-phase power with as large a generator as possible, figuring on getting multiple gennies for parts purposes and storing them all, spare...

    Cargo Body on Tractor Frame?

    Are there any threads on how to perform chassis extensions, either off the end or splicing into the middle? What kind of channel stock should be used if not material from a donor chassis? What about box stock that can be blocked off to form internal storage tanks for spare fuel, oil, coolant, etc.?

    15-kw 400 cycle diesel gen.set

    Right now, there's just one 60 kW monster up for bid. Pretty sure your 10 kW portables would choke, gag, and die on that gen-head. Although, there are three disembodied rotors of unknown spec. coming due in two weeks. Assuming someone could find the specs, would a rotor swap be sufficient to...
