Clinto, I just got my 97 on the Duece I bought several months ago. I got the 97, a bill of sale and a re-assignment of the 97 form in the package. I have not been to DMV yet.
Welcome aboard!!!! Can't help with numbers but yes, change the filters first. That will probably cure the power problem. OOH, and nobody can stop with just two. :D :D :D
This problem is the reason I think I got my 813 from GSA. No one could start it so they thought something was wrong with it. I found the problem in short order and it fired right up.
I have been told not to install a ROPS structure on a 151 or 151A1 as it makes them top heavy and they roll quicker. I have driven my Mutt for 5 years and never even come close to a bad situation. Be carefull in sand and don't make hard high speed turns and there is no problem.
I found 12 at Fort Stewart a couple years ago. I inquired about their fate and was told they would be run over by a bulldozer and sold as scrap. All the parts i needed to make mine run were right there and all I could do was look.

RE: Here is what I
My 5 ton dump had sat for a while before it was sold. The guy that bought it started it and it ran wide open so he shut it down with the pull cable. then it would not start. When a diesel is shut down with the fuel cut off cable the governor tells the pump it needs more...
They don't have big power house engines but mine gets up there pretty good. It is very cold natured and requires some choke until it is warmed up. If I recall correckly the accelerator pump is a little different on these carbs. It works off of vaacum pressure. Mine starts better if I depress...
