About the hose, the vendor told me the hose is goodyear some or other, high temp high pressure, made for oil and made for those special fittings. If any yellow rings are missing, it's because they came off, etc. Still, there is no question the end of the hose failed. I have the piece in the...
I don't know what's the deal on the brakes on the 900. It's probably upgrades to readily available parts?? I have no idea. Note the 1/4" thick side plates bolted to the chassis rails on the rebuild unit.
I don't know anything about Morocco. Maybe Morocco Mole and Secret Squirrel are planning a...
Memphis equipment is really busy these days. Seems they got a huge contract for 5-tons to Morocco and are buying up all the big trucks they can get. I think Morocco is getting the multifuels, and there's another big deal for completely reprocessed 900 series . I was openly told this by several...
Illinois has biodiesel everywhere. It sucks and the truck runs less MPG on it. It wasn't like that last time. I turned up the fuel a bit today.

I want a HEMMT. I saw one in Missouri going down the road with a crate in the bed, did not look like a uniform driving it. Anyone know anything about that?
Been following this thread, wish I could tag along, but my vacation time is at the whim of my employer.
Be sure to take hundreds of pictures and some videos and post them up here and on your own sites!! If afterward anyone has giant-sized videos they can't host, and they're better than youtube...
RE: Nebraska
I sure appreciate the support! I been driving many hours and getting in late, right now I'm in Chicago, and spent 1/2 day at Groban Supply.
But before that, 54reo got me to take a side trip, one I'll never forget. He's supervising the rebuilding of the generators in the Bagnell...
