    Cold start up M35A2 Video

    Jealous. Mine takes a couple tries with the flame heater unless the block heater was plugged in. Are you running 100% diesel?

    Happiness is a few gallons of 24087

    I also used Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer, Gillespie paint thinned with Xylene, and Tractor Supply hardener. I was under the gun to get the truck ready for Memorial Day and we had lousy weather all that month, I think I had barely a week of curing on the hood before putting the stencils on --...

    Wreaths Across America

    Here's some video and pics from Scarborough last night and this morning. I thought it was a pretty good turnout, present were the Cumberland County Police Honor Guard, Sea Cadets, Bagpipe players, local police, state police, several uniformed marines, the Patriot Riders, and a lot of regular...

    Inflated a 9.00x20 NDT to 110 PSI Today

    Yeah, 50PSI make me nervous too that's why I had been using regulators which allowed me to walk a safe distance away from it. I had intended to use this tire as a spare but maybe the rear is the best place for it, I'll monitor the tire's life and report back to this thread. I may need to...

    Inflated a 9.00x20 NDT to 110 PSI Today

    I almost soiled myself today. Earlier this afternoon I was outside sandblasting the rims of a couple used but good condition tires I had bought from a guy up near the old Loring AFB. For the sandblasting I had set the regulator on the air compressor to 110 PSI. After the blasting was done I...

    Steel Brake Lines

    I did the same last year, but steel brake lines won't last as long in the north due to salt and other corrosive chemicals put on the roads to melt ice. Check out this fuel tank crossmember I replaced last year on my 93' Yukon. You guys who live down south suck!

    M1009 as rugged reliable transportation candidate

    I'm guessing he operates in the North Maine Woods. Pretty much the entire northwest corner of the state is off-the-grid paper company roads. I once had my 93' Yukon come out of there with two broken leaves on one rear wheel. I think the damage was done when a vehicle shuttle driver drove it...

    Muffler on a multi-fuel...?

    On my J pipe and Donaldson muffler I've noticed Gillespie 24087 Olive Drab turn pink in spots. I think I've noticed similar effects on old military photos somewhere too. My muffler was wiped down with Denatured Alcohol and first coated with black stove paint. The S pipe is just 24087 over...

    Deuce differences

    My 1966 M109 came with both the electric and air horns, I presume the air horn was added during its mid-1980s overhaul. The electric horn came disconnected but works when I swap the wire connectors over to it.

    Wreaths Across America

    How fast does the convoy run on the Maine Turnpike? I'm wondering I can help escort them from Scarborough to the state line.

    Horn works up to 60 PSI then nothing

    I've been dubbing around with the solenoid and found it is tunable to different air pressures by relieving some of the tension on the plunger spring. This can be done three ways: (1) thicker O ring so the brass fitting doesn't need to threaded in as far to create an air pressure seal (2) clip...

    Found a Deal on A2 Belts

    Glad they're back, I was feeling guilty that I had gotten one of the last sets from the first batch.

    Starter Problems

    I'm assuming when you say "ignition switch" you're referring to the accessory switch, please correct me if I'm wrong. If the relay on the engine block was stuck on then the starter would spin even without the accessory switch flipped wouldn't it? Disconnect the wires to the back of your...

    How to Paint your Rims and not your Tires

    :ditto: The last wheel I did I just brushed on dish soap and washed it off later with a pressure washer.

    This site appears to be running on CentOS, a free derivative of RedHat Enterprise Linux. If Patracy has root access to said operating system I wouldn't question his authority, he can make us all disappear.

    The way I think I understand it, after you pay a lot of money to the site you get 72 Celestial Possums or something.
