NAPA has the replacement ether canisters. If you buy one would you please post up the NAPA part number? When I have trouble cold starting an engine, I almost ~never use ether. If I have electrical power close, I use an electric heat gun pointed into the intake. This works well on gas engines...

I have the same genset. The way I read the manual, there is no 120/240, just 120 ~OR 240. I hope I am wrong. For 240VAC you don't need a neutral, just two hots. What is the NEMA number on the plug you are hoping to use? That would tell me what the specs are on it. For example is it a NEMA...

I bought a couple of the same units from that sale, one for me, one for my Dad. Best deal on the correct 4HN battery was from Batteries Plus at $131. I looked hard for an alternative. They first wanted to sell me some "cheap" lawn tractor batteries but by the time you get two of them and make a...

Whereabouts? I have been unable to find inexpensive ones.

The prices seem to be much higher for these on the West Coast. For about $500 I got a nice pair of gently used 24v LED headlights. Tested them first, look at the difference! Then painted them 383 green, lit them up, they fit perfect. Bolted right in, about 10 minutes to change out. Even the wire...

With 46" diameter tires and a turned up IP I can do about 70ish on the freeway if I push it. Was passing semis on the freeway today and they weren't going 55.

Pretty easy to make one if you can weld or even if you just take a community college adult ed welding class and make one as a class project while you learn. If you bought the tools you would need: [for example] Used 120vac Lincoln wire welder used off Craigslist $150 to $200 Some way to cut...

Yeah, would be fun to have you. They are putting us up in Timberline Lodge for the night. The trip up the mountain from the lodge should be an epic "hold my beer and watch this" moment. Think you are right, bet two of us could just pull the tarp off in the yard and then enlist more help when it...

Mike, that truck was so beautiful when you got it it is hard to look at it. Now, well just fantastic. Thanks for the photos and build info. Looking for a suitable 109 myself. If I had known you were considering a liftgate I could have hooked you up for almost free. There were two of them next...

It isn't a dropside. I see there are some sockets towards the front that looks like they are for storing the bows. I am wondering if there is a copacetic way to roll up and stow the tarp towards the front without dumping it all in the snow at Timberline Lodge. Where we are going is up above the...

That is just fantastic! I remember the first time I saw a deuce back in 1972. I was 13, fell in love and have wanted one ever since. Got my first one at 49. Glad he didn't have to wait so long. It was a long 36 years.

Have an opportunity for a unique heavy hauling job, moving a ~very heavy antennae base up to a radio tower site on Mt Hood. We got a short break in the weather and have to do it tomorrow. Will need to pick the base out of the back of Esmerelda with a crane onsite. Not being a Government Trained...

We did the same thing. They like the truck. :-D When you get involved with the community, you get community support. I had a neighbor complain after I left the deuce parked in the street for a couple of weeks. The nice police lady came by and asked if it would fit in my driveway. Moved it back...

Has anyone tried the Clear Water Pump from HF? About $35, highly recommended for t his use on the veggie oil forums. It won't do the PSI of the hydraulic pump though.

That looks like great fun! Let me know when you are going next year and I will race with you.

Great looking paint job!

The ~best fuel treatment for diesel is PRI-D. They also make a biocide which I would use if I were storing long term. It does not contain ALCOHOL. I have seen it retailed for $39 a quart but it can be bought online for around $27, I found it for $27.xx at Albina Fuel in Vancouver, WA. As for ^^...

Hey, sus! Theft prevention is always a game of time/effort. We do everything we can to slow down the thieves and make it not worth their effort to take our stuff. Harden the target is the best you can do. For when you are camped out, how about a game camera? A least you might find out who was...

Here's the sign he put on the trailer. He has lots of trailers, and an interestingly rusty hunting truck that may appear as well.

I received a visit from the nice police lady the other day. She said there was a complaint about my motorcycle trailer and deuce parked in the street, and asked if they would fit in my driveway. So, the deuce and MC trailer are now in the driveway after a little cleanup project. However, she...
