Let's see if I can post a few photos...

It's that time of year again! The dates are set and the registration form has been updated... Now, I have to update the event's website...and we have to design a shirt... This year we will be gathering for the 14th consecutive time over the Labor Day Weekend at Graves Mountain from September...

I really appreciated my ride and the conversation about it... I have a much better appreciation for it (and the whole family of cab-overs) then I did... :) Thanks also for organizing the BBQ run...

Back at the house after a great time! A big THANK YOU to those that helped clean, pack, and hook up, the MKT this morning.

Tonight's MKT offering...

We're here. The photos will come later with the after action reports....

I have one individual and one family that have informed me that they will be eating at the MKT... My day job is nutty these days (covering for a pair of vacant positions), so my enthusiasm for dragging the thing to the event isn't as high as it should... Make sure that you send me a PM or...

Running behind in thoughts and preparations....so all the more reason to be excited to get to the Farmpark... I find cooking for a group to be a nice, relaxing, break from my day job... My current plan is to arrive on Wednesday (I assume that I can access the site that afternoon as in years...

Great to hear that you have found a MV to tool around in... Since Mullaney mentioned the spring event... I'll put a plug in for the fall one... :) https://gravesmountaintrailrides.com Labor Day Weekend trail and road rides, fellowship, parts swap, etc...on a roughly 2000 acre farm next to the...

A feller would quickly receive a PM... :)

I purchased a TR100 some years ago to use as a hauler for my M38 and M37... It's similar to the M1061 except that it has a height adjustable lunette ring and full air brakes... It is for sale... My current "go to" trailer for hauling the M37, M38, and Yukon, behind my M931 or XM813 is a...

You manage to drag yourself over early...please keep an eye on my spot so that the MKT can be in its usual location... ;)

I find that a standard sledge with a few pieces of angle iron makes for an easy time breaking these wheels down (there are more than one post showing the process with photos...). Nice thing is that you can use three at once to help wedge and hold down the bead on older tires and you can leave...

For those of you in the TN, VA, SC, GA, area... I will have my MKT85 setup at the Denton MV Gathering once again this April at the Denton Farmpark in Denton, NC... I cook for those who have signed up in advance (part of my deal with the Farmpark Management is that I only feed my "friends"...

I really enjoy using mine with the MBU's... They provide great heat, are easy to troubleshoot, and fuel is easy to find (especially since I can pull from the tank on the XM813...). On the other hand, I used to enjoy using the earlier gas burners when cooking ribs or such since I didn't have to...

I ran my MKT-85 at the Haspin gathering one year off a Harbor Freight 800watt two stroke generator... Remember, all it has to do is provide juice for the MBU air pumps and logic boards (and, in my case, LED lighting...). The heat for cooking is coming from the diesel being burned...

The tire appears to be a Michelin, so hopefully, the previous owner replaced the stock tube with a new radial tube when the tire was installed and used a fresh flap when doing so... If so, Ken might get lucky and be able to patch his and move on... I have a few good Michelin tubes/flaps in...

As the above responses have stated, fuel is bypassing the cutoff solenoid. Most likely because someone has screwed in/out (I never can remember the direction) the knob that bypasses the cutoff solenoid... Often done when someone is having electrical issues (weak batteries/weak charging/too...

I have the event blocked out on my work calendar. I plan to have my MKT-85 again this year....May change up the vehicle towing it from the XM813 to something else... Menu ideas will be posted closer to the event.
