    Oil everywhere..anyone in dfw wanna help?

    That much oil on the ground will require the appropriate EPA petro-chemical spill reporting. That oil looks like it needed changing anyway, I have the spin on oil filter adapter kits listed in the classified, perfect time to upgrade the filter. Keep us posted.

    Ether bottle replacement

    Yep, pretty straight forward, bottles are available at the big truck parts shop, tip of the day; change the cork gasket out when you change the bottle.

    Bobbing needs to begin

    That might be the problem, the builder takes on an awful lot of liability, the design/capabilities are changed. If it comes apart on the highway, well there will be a lot of questions. Keep us posted

    My 1984 M923 AM General maximum speed is 45 miles per hour.

    I've had a couple of speedometers that read about 10mph low. They all died a horrible death within 1000miles... My M936 speedo hasn't worked since delivery, GPS say 62 mph flat out. Just another on the list of things to fix.

    923 front end engaged all the time

    No problem, I have the same issues. Just think, when Apple comes out with the new "I Brain" chip, we won't have to use our hands to type, we'll just think text to each other. Can't wait.......

    Had some problems with my tractor today :(

    You're fortunate that the original batteries are starting the truck. Short drives will tax them. Individually charge them, then load test them individually. You may find a weak one. If not, drive on. Not just 2 miles at a time.

    Had some problems with my tractor today :(

    The short commute (2-3 miles) is not healthy for that truck, especially in winter. The truck never gets to a sustained operating temperature and it will build moisture in the engine and air system. Your ppv was most likely froze up.

    M998 from Fort Hood to Austin, TX, about 65 miles.

    Find another towing out fit. Roll back truck will work. Can you rent a trailer? Tow it with another truck. 65 miles is not bad recovery distance.

    923 front end engaged all the time

    -to be clear, the switch engages the front axle when the transfer case is placed in low range. Take note of the caution placard on the dash, "Do not reverse in low range, damage will result." If you need to reverse the truck, place the transfer in high range and then reverse, if the front axle...

    Nice truck and welcome from Kentucky. It's not called "Green crack" for nothing, you need a matching trailer to start with.
