    ****, out bid Again

    True, it's best to minimize such proclamations. We can make a note to delete the thread in a few days. I have an idea about that and will share elsewhere. My advice to the bidder however, is to be willing to bite the bullet if he really wants the goods. I had to do that with the M818. I'm a...

    My deuce is gone

    It's a bit more costly to buy from an individual, but at least you know the truck has been debugged and its faults are repaired and/or known.

    11 x 20 non-directional tires

    Guys let me make a couple comments here. 1. The request for tires should have been made in the classifieds section and not in the forum. Posting wanteds and for sales in a forum is grounds for action, so please use care when deciding where to post. 2. It is preferable that if an accusation...

    Uses for 400hz generator?

    I think you are right. 400Hz is perfectly fine for resistive loads such as light bulbs and electric heaters. It is also OK for most things that come right off the line to a rectifier and a capacitor bank, which until recently included most switching power supplies. Now most of them use a PFC...

    Uses for 400hz generator?

    60 or 400Hz as long as it can be discussed civilly. yeah, not directly an auction post but it is close enough. No harm done. It's important that people know the difference between the uses of 60Hz and 400Hz generators. Thanks.

    Too fat to fit

    The spring seat gives alot less leg room too, less room all around. At first I removed the thick cushion on the spring seat but that was too hard on the back.

    Road Trip DFW to Chester IL DEC 26-JAN 9

    Yesterday I cleaned out some space in the Bunker. It was very cold, 25 and windy. Sorry but that -is- cold. So we did not clear out the 109 box. That was done today. Today was supposed to be partly sunny and 47. Hah! no such luck, it is 38 and overcast but at least that is not bad. The only...

    Road Trip DFW to Chester IL DEC 26-JAN 9

    The guys at the tire shop that have been handling the 11.00x20's on the deuce seem to think they can deal with these big 'uns, even after i told them they are 500 lbs each. $50 per tire, I think they said, to dismount, break down, retube, reassemble, replace. Plus a few bucks most likely for...
