    Need input on M108 purchase

    I just wish mine ran! New engine for it is sitting about 20 feet away from it.... Just need to find the time to install it.

    Did I just find a SUPER LOW mileage M60?!!?

    With the M62 bed on it, it's closer to 20-21,000lbs Why would you put the controls in the cab? Wouldn't that make it impossible to see what you are lifting?

    Need input on M108 purchase

    How rusty is it? Any pics? With the truck weighing over 19,000lbs, scrap value may be close to or over the 3,000 mark. No ground supports for the boom come with M108's. Travel/boom supports or locks can be had from a M62. Some M108s had adjustable ones, same as M62's, others were non...

    The Building of Big Frank!!!

    Nice work, going to be a good looking truck. Any change to the headlight mounts? Your exhaust is not "Haspin proof", we tend to bend the steps. If you off road it, be careful of high centering.

    M35 Gasser questions

    I've got a water cooled gasser air compressor, for the reo. Pulled the drivetrain, and it is sitting on the shelf. (I have a heavy duty shelf, LOL...)

    deuce gasser ignition distributor parts

    I picked up a NOS distributor at a swap meet and swapped the internals with the reo dist. The one I picked up was the wrong rotation, but parts swapped just fine. Any of the typical MV dealers will have the parts. White owl, saturn surplus, memphis, eastern, or boyle.

    deuce smoking like a freight train

    I'd be worried about the oily film on the turbo, sounds like a bad seal in the turbo is allowing oil to be sucked in. That would cause some smoke. If the fuel was turned up enough to cause that smoke, it would run like a scalded dog. When tuning the fuel rate I got it too high at one point...

    Blue Hot Rod M37

    Think the square headlights ruin it.... Original lights would have been better looking.

    extra mep 003a engines, what should I do with them?

    We (Gimp and I) have some of them. Thinking of repowering the boom lift, it currently has a propane wisconsin V-4 in it, that uses oil and propane quite well.

    2012 Haspin info/dates/attendance

    Talked to steve and figured it out. According to the IN website, If you are coming from the east on 44 into liberty, road is closed. Detour goes north to richmond and then back down on route 1. But the way Steve is talking it is closed between liberty and connersville. Looks like you would...

    Everybody that is important will be at Haspin, so take it down then... We won't miss it, too busy drinking, eating, and getting stuck.

    Rear Differential Problem?

    Think the only way it ended up there was if someone put it there.

    I just dropped 220 in food for 5 guys, and that didn't count about 40 in donated food. We don't go hungry either! I get to go to work tomorrow, thinking half day Tuesday, then heading out wed. Should be there around 2 ish... Maybe sooner if we get rolling and everything goes well. M35 is...

    Gimp's truckless too! I'll have the M35, but it won't see much trail action. I've power washed and repacked bearing enough, now it's fun to watch the other guys wheel.
