Ditto. I just insured my second M35A2 with State Farm. No issues - and they know exactly what it is, and what it weighs.

They don't charge you a 25% fee if the EUC doesn't come back in the alloted time; they just null out the sale. They charge you if you back out of the deal, or you are denied an EUC at least once, and then you keep bidding on things after being turned down.

If he purchased a vehicle with the sole intent to sell it to you, then he must divulge that information on the EUC application. The EUC requires name, address, and phone number of the person he's selling it to. Considering one signs these documents under the pains and penalties of perjury and...

Sounds like your clutch free-travel needs adjustment. You need to get someone to help you by rocking the steering wheel back and forth while you go hunting under the truck looking for the source of the free play in the system. If they rock the wheel hard / fast enough, it should make noise...

Can you take another photo - from an angle more to the front of the truck - and let us see how far they are sticking out? Just curious - and thinking about someday singling out a truck (likely when it comes time to buy tires).

What a dang shame. I really dislike seeing something that nicely made get that messed up. Looks like those woodruff key fragments just ground everything to pieces. Good thing transmissions and transmission parts are not all that expensive - just lots of dirty work to swap out.

The long discussions over paint color and scheme don't really surprise me all that much. I think it's really human nature - since color / paint is the most obvious feature of any vehicle, whether the person observing is well versed in MVs or not. I'm an electronics engineer - and some of the...

Congratulations on your new truck. I bought my windshield weather stripping from OD Iron. I'll be buying more - my just-received second truck also needs it.

I'd say she came out real nice. I can only hope to do as well as you've done when I start my painting project.

Indeed I do know, Bjorn. I come from an interesting time - when both tubes and transistors saw service at the same time.

It will be nice to see how it looks once you get some color shot onto it. I'll be starting my painting project in the Spring. I take it you're going for solid OD Green; that's what I'm thinking about at the moment. Both of my trucks are three color camo - but I like the idea of one solid...

Then we must chat sometime, as I'm a lover of hollow-state electrical devices as well. Radios that glow in the dark are a source of true enjoyment. Military tube radios? Even better. I'd also like more information on your fire truck. Is that a 530? Have you seen the cover of the latest issue...

I pull my "Engine Stop" cable. Otherwise, it's headphones.

Agree with cranetruck on this - for light loads a small linear PS is a viable option. Just remember that you should always have a crowbar circuit - designed for overvoltage protection - and a properly sized fuse at the output of such a device; overloaded output pass transistors have a habit of...

Concur with cranetruck - most DC-DC converters were not designed to load share - and won't work properly in parallel. Converters that are designed to do so will advertise that fact, and must only be parallel with another such converter that can load share. Buy a bigger one to power your loads...

I just got my second deuce yesterday. It has factory air assist steering. If you've never driven a deuce with air assist, you should try it. After this, I would buy an air assist kit without hesitation to bolt onto another truck. Is it more complex than a stripped down, manual steered truck...

They did do a nice job on these issues. Mine just arrived the other day - and Supply Line is tonight's before bedtime read.

I've been toying with the idea of picking up the 106 configuration myself. Found a couple - too far away in both cases to ship. Still looking. Perhaps I'll find something at NEARFEST in a couple weeks, although there aren't all that many green radios that show up at that flea market. Checked...

Very, very, very nicely done. Are you on the air on any ham bands with that 106?

Like folks say, it's all over the map for processing times. My first EUC was a generator - took 9 business days for that EUC. Just bought another generator a couple weeks ago, sent the EUC in Friday morning, and was cleared for pick-up that following Tuesday evening. Expect the worst in terms of...
