    Deuce not recognized by traffic lights.

    One trick motorcycle guys use is a strong magnet mounted on the lower part of the frame. I haven't noticed traffic lights not changing for deuce.

    Homemade centrifuge/pump V3.0

    Another small update. Replaced the hot water element that was grounding out with a new one, and added a thermostat on both power wires to it. Trying to make it redundant so if a thermostat gets stuck on, I don't heat the oil up too much and catch on fire. Still need to add a overtemp switch...

    My New 1028/1031

    will do. It when it wants to start, as in turns over, it starts easy on the propane.

    My New 1028/1031

    Wisconsin engines are really nothing more than a big briggs and stratton. Just add a coil and distributor. I've got one in the lift, would like to swap it out to diesel. Uses too much propane, and tends to not start when I'm 40 feet in the air. But it does run good.

    A2 cruising speeds

    I run it at 2500 rpms, all day, everywhere I go. It's been all over the state, hauling lots of weight. First truck I got is still going strong, 7 years later. With the 11-20's I get 59 mph. I also installed the overdrive gear set in my other truck, and love it. It's the way to go, shifts...

    GPS Speedometer

    There is a app for that... I use the smartphone to check speed on my mowers... They are a little faster than stock. I've also used it in the M108, it has a bad speedo cable at the moment.

    Increase in power at high rpms recently

    I've noticed a increase in power right before the filters plug... Not sure why, but 100 miles before the filters need changed, it will blow black smoke, egt's north of 1300, and have a lot of power. Then it falls on it's face, LOL.... I think some how the filters are causing the fuel to have...

    IHC model 1854 shop van

    I had the 9.0 in a school bus. With 18,000 lbs, and a 4.44 rear end, I could run 65 all day. Slowed down some on the hills, but not bad. Never had any problems out of the engine, it had 220,000 miles on it.

    Watch your step

    Kinda of funny, last time I had a nail, or actually, a piece of fence that looked like a nail, in my foot, my Grandmother was the one that patched me up... Hope it heals fast, foot injuries suck.

    Trailer toter for my tractor

    I added a ball to the front loader bucket of the tractor, that makes it pretty easy to move the campers/trailers around. Would like to add one to the three point, but my scraper is usually attached, may just put a ball on the scraper. Also welded a plate with a hole in it the top of the...

    Mikey likes it... 57 Reo M108...

    Another easy way to tell is the rear axle springs will have a large overload bar, similar to the 5 ton wreckers.

    Mikey likes it... 57 Reo M108...

    Does it have the reinforced frame underneath? Was thinking one of JT's was a M35 with a M108 bed on it. Looks good, handy truck.
