    MEP-004a

    Anymore information on this? I got a Mep-004aas from Richmond for my boss's farm. I'm working on getting it operational and will be wiring it up so she can use it as back up power (she lives in the middle of nowhere by herself and the power goes out all the time) So any information on rewiring...

    Improving NDCC traction military style

    Some mold maker just thought it would make the tires look cooler... And/or his brother that owns a windshield plant was disappointed that NDT's don't pick up and throw rocks, as that would sell alot of windshields... I had a couple on my 105 and boy did they like to pick up and dispose of...

    Need Help in Richmond Wed. 8th

    Hey guys, I've got a problem. I need to pick up two trailers from Richmond tomorrow morning, but the trailer I was going to put them on wasn't big enough. I've got to get a m200 with a 15kw gen and a m105. My question is, is there a member close by that can store my 105 trailer for a few...

    Successful recovery...sort of...

    My m105 pass side brake locked up whenever I tapped the brakes on the way to Haspin. First, if you start loosing air pressure, you should stop and check it out. Second, oil pressure should drop once it warms up. When it starts to drop below 40psi in most diesel engines, you should stop and...

    Goodyear MV/T tire pickup

    Looking good Bjorn! so you need to fine at least 2, preferably more of the 395s for the 8x8. That will look great with those tires on there!

    Engine recovery today

    Make sure that all the coolent is drained, fill the crankcase with good oil. Put dessicant in all the openings, intake, exhaust, water jacket. Seal up all the openings with plugs and tape. Put it somewhere where you won't bang off parts moving other stuff around... :oops: The dessicant will...

    Walk away parts?

    That's why most places require you to make an APPOINTMENT for preview/loadout. I agree, if you can't do it in a set amount of time, forfeit a fee or come back tomorrow. One other thing that chafes me about GL, you have 14 days to pickup, but they only allow removal on say 2 days a week. so...

    Thanks SS!! 10 years and 11,000+ members!!

    This site is undeniably one of the best things (if not THE best) to happen to the MV hobby. I never would have learned so much so fast without the advice, guidance and support of many of the members on SS. I've only been on the site a little over 2 yrs, but I already feel like one of the...

    Radio Trouble

    Carnac, what do you mean by other and other on the 1780? there is only other labeled on the 'screw switch'. Mike, we can't even use it to listen until we figure this out.

    Radio Trouble

    I hope some of you radio gurus can help me and Sevo out. He installed a Vic-1 in his deuce, and it works great. Last night he installed a vt-246 radio into the system and now there is constant static and the intercom system no longer works. The TMs weren't much help to the non-electronic...

    Loading the 5th wheel for traction

    I agree, my 109 would go sideways, with the weight of the box, the rears wanted to keep going straight. George, why do you keep saying 109*s*? There were 4 at Haspin, but only ONE hit the trails! :driver: One thing you could do Bjorn is mount a water tank of some sort right in front of the...

    Haspin 09 pics etc

    And the last few of the ride home. The last few are me using my refueling rig from the 105 to top off with a WMO/diesel blend for the last little bit home.

    maintenance cost?

    I agree with Jay, it can be a roll of the dice. I picked up my first m35 and drove it for years, infact drove it 1300 mile round trip a month after I got it to Aberdeen. I had to replace the alternator, and the horn wire. Other than that, just changed the fluids. But once you go through...
