To add a little to Mike's excellent reply...
Graves Mountain Lodge is a family owned resort located on a roughly 2000 acre farm that backs up to the Shenandoah National Park. The folks have been hosting folks for 135 years or so...
For more info on the Lodge, look at:
Relax in the...
Got the registration yesterday...
Good to see that I am not the only one who is still up in the air on what I am driving to the event... :)
I'm planning on the XM813, M274A5, and if all goes well the XM708...
I have one M101A1 that was converted to a generator/light trailer. It had the gerry can mounts on the fenders, a hole in the bed for the fuel line, and a M37 style gas tank mounted under the bed. It also had racks mounted for the light poles...
Most of my cargo M101/M101A1's have been lacking...
If you read down on my page with the parts numbers and the process description, you'll see that the H6024 conversion kit at Susquehanna has Two lamps, Two dust boots and two H4 bulbs of your choice. This is the easiest way to order what you need (you have to add the plug, but otherwise, it's...
We have a local commercial company that pumps out the porta potties every day...
If you bring extra drinks, I'm sure that "somebody" will help you consume them...
Seriously, Mike has covered just about everything in his reply. Only thing that I'd point out is that the closest gas is in...
Hated to get the news about Granny... I'm really glad that I got to take that ride during the Uwharrie gathering. She will be missed.
However, it's really good to hear that you will be up at Graves even without her... If you need to, you can hitch a ride in the XM708 with me...
Meanwhile...
Maybe its just me, but when I hitch one of my M101 series trailers to something, it seems like I am always reaching down between the a-frame arms to grab the front leg when I swing it up to lock it into position.
Seems like your mount would interfere with this.
Great looking flyer Maddawg... Just remember folks, that the BBQ supper on Saturday night is included in the registration (as is use of the Jr. Olympic Pool for the entire weekend)...
Powerhouseduece: Since I'm driving up in the 944S2, I'll arrange for us to borrow some of the on-site...
I will miss chatting with Charles... He and I used to converse a lot on the G741.org website when he first got a M37, even more so when I sold him a takeout engine for it, and then we both migrated over here and continued the conversation without a pause...
I will never forget the conversation...
Mine have always been glass...heavy glass...
I have broken them when they experienced rapid deceleration after contacting a deer on the highway at speed (not in a MV...)... I have had one burner die when crossing a railroad track in the XM813.
I think that I might have burned out two or three...
Even with gas at a buck a gallon, he was still seriously talking about having me install a Cummins 4BT in it... But he never did.
Sadly, he sold it a year or two later when he had to move out west for his job. I had no place to put it at the time or I would have added it to my collection...
It does if you are using the current solid state flasher unit (same as what is in a M35, etc.), the switch used with the earlier "bread box" flasher unit was different (looks like a Signal Stat unit).
I'm pretty sure that they are the same functionally, but the older unit had a different...
I met a guy at the Southern Power Wagon Gathering in Thomson, GA, back in the mid-ninties who had a really nice US Spec. M43 that had a pintle hitch on it. He had installed it himself.
His comment was that it worked really well, but that he had to rotate it to get the step to clear when he...
Thanks for the update!
I'll just add that I feel spoiled... I get to see Bill at the local car/truck shows as well as at MV events...
He is a true wealth of information (and parts).
I'll agree with the theory that it is a sludged up filter, especially if it has funky smelling stuff in the tank and the owner hasn't driven it much since it was purchased and, perhaps, has not yet changed the filter.
Running out the thumbscrew in this kind of event just to make sure that you...
If you have a SF97 with the reasignment from GL to you, then DMV will consider it the same as a NC dealer sale.
You would need:
Title Application (MVR-1)
Vehicle Title (SF-97) with the Reasignment from GL to you
Bill of Sale (your GL invoice)
Insurance Form (MVR-615)
Damage Disclosure Form...
We get real busy at the Lodge later on in the year with the Apple Harvest Festival the second, third, and fourth weekends in October... The place is crawling with folks so we can't do a trailride then... Plus, Clinto has his GA rally in October... :)
However, I am planning on getting back...
