    Adding ATF to your diesel fuel?

    It totally depends on what the coverage states. One coverage does not fit all aircraft. I’ve never flown a piston powered anything so can’t comment on that part, but if you want to trash a turbine, that’s a quick way to do it. I personally use two-cycle oil in all my diesels. It's...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I stand corrected. Electric brakes will definitely be needed on that beast. Dexter makes some great stuff.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Pulling it is easy. Stopping, especially a panic stop, is a whole different story. Regular 3/4 ton pickup brakes can only do so much.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Agree on the weight and mass of the M105A2. That is a big heavy trailer just sitting still. I wouldn’t tow it with my 06 GMC duramax. Even empty that is a lot of weight with no brakes. M105A3 would be completely different with its surge brakes. Also Recommend finding a M101A2. Perfect...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Stock axle and factory NOS CUCV wheels. Wheels were still in box Michelin E Rated tires 265-75R16 Take offs from my truck when I installed a new set. Little wider and shorter but they work just fine.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    The trailer had a ton of different racks mounted on the bed and sides of the inside. So once all these were off, it left a LOT of holes. Way to many for rain and dirt to find its way inside. Debated on just welding them up, but maybe someday might need them. So instead of welding up over 100...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Finally installed NOS fiberglass sides and gate. Definitely lighter than the wood. Trailer came with one fiberglass gate when I bought it. Second one is for the front gate modification. Did same thing on my tan M101A2 and it’s extremely handy to have a front gate, in addition to the back...

    Break-In oil for the low hour MEPS

    Properly breaking in an engine is absolutely critical to long healthy engine life. There is a reason for the 100 hours and it’s not only for the rings to set. It’s for EVERYTHING that’s oiled to set. Sure it will run fine with 15/40w at 5 hours, but it will not last as long before rebuild...

    Autocar 8x6 tractor model?

    Reminds me of the Killer truck in the movie “Duel” with Dennis Weaver.

    Gen 1 Gen 2 V belts

    How much adjustment travel do you have left on GEN 1? It’s hard to tell from the pic. GEN 2 has plenty I see.

    Museum Huey Project Atoka TN

    Check with AirWest out of Glendale, AZ. Rumor has it they were parting out one quite a while back. No idea what’s available, if anything.

    Gov planet 803a price.

    Auction prices are way up! Some sold last auction for crazy prices. I’m in the market for one myself. As already mentioned, buying from a private seller will almost certainly be cheaper.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Been working ok so far. Lot cheaper than the smoke bombs I usually use. About the same elimination rate. Timed out JetA-1 fueling hose works great!!
