    11Rx20s Handling Poorly

    When I put the 11.00X20 on the M35, the first 100 or so miles was ROUGH. They had been on a forestry service M211 that had been sitting for years... But then they were fine, singled out and 50psi.

    Methanol up again....

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Methanol up again.... Yes, the oil palm is about 650gals an acre. Bjorn, that's why I want to grow all my own fuel, instead of buying foodstuffs to convert. Didn't know about how pure you need the Ethanol, just a thought.

    Methanol up again....

    RE: Re: RE: Methanol up again.... Bjorn, I have heard that Ethanol can be used to produce bio, is that correct? solve your methanol supply problem- build a still! :beer: I'm going to use the pecan trees on my property for oil- one acre of trees will produce about 200gal of oil. I'm going to...

    It is a shame.

    Sad that the loss of money has to make them ACT like responsible citizens... That I might have had to sacrifice my life during my 8yrs in the Navy to protect those pig headed council members... Disgusts me. aua I would gladly give my life to defend the freedoms that these people for some...

    Headed out to SC for body tub

    Mike, glad you made it back safe and sound. My M38a1 is a rust bucket- not much of the body can be saved. the floor boards were layered over twice... and they left the rusted stuff underneath, so it just rusted out what they put on it. She runs good though...

    New high mark for DRMO EUC stupidity

    I guess to prevent terrorism and protect America, we should just outlaw all vehicles, period. Then the terrorists would have to carry all their weapons of mass destruction by hand, so we can see 4 guys toting around a nuke... In the interest of national security, back to horses everybody!

    Deuce Starter Button

    Make sure it is a momentary toggle, or else bad things might happen... Not sure of the amp draw through the switch to the solenoid. Better find that out too. switches should work fine for 24vdc even if they say 12, just don't overload the amp rating.

    M911/M747 Outing

    I know who to call if I ever need a locomotive moved in Ohio... Nice looking rig! bet the fuel costs are high too. There was the same truck and trailer combo but tan that I could see every time I ran the train out near the major railyard, but now the trailer is gone and it is just the truck...

    Would like to buy these trailer parts..

    I was looking for one of those for a while, thought it would make a great trailer for my forklift- sold the forklift so I guess I don't need one. Lane, there are a few over in Portsmouth I think I saw them the last time I was there. Don't know when or if they will be coming up for auction.

    Keeping the Wasp's out

    That looks really nice. Great idea, but I could see the screen getting clogged with dirt that found its way into your box on your tools. Looks really good!

    Speedometer calibration.

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Speedometer calibration. I forgot to mention that it didn't seem to go over 2500 even when I had the 9.oox20s on there. I'm no good at math. -:( It just seemed slow to me. Yes, I get the idea of less revolutions = more distance traveled with bigger tires. Just seemed low...

    Speedometer calibration.

    RE: Re: RE: Speedometer calibration. FMJ- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q7x6fpGvn0 I like my garmin a lot. Riddle me this- Garmin says 62mph, speedo says 55- I was running 11.00x20s so I can understand this- but the tach says 2400rpm. That can't be right, can it? I thought it was...
