With a wood stove chimney fire, get a large glass of water--open the stove door--pitch the glass of water into the stove and shut the door. The steam from the water hitting the fire goes up the pipe and smothers the fire. Repeat as needed. Jim

Yes, a slight curve (inlet into the top edge for lack of a better description) in the top inside edge on both sides of the body sides, rather than just a 90 degree edge. Does not go the full length--just a couple of feet maybe ( I don't have one and have not seen one in person--just going by...

HHOOOOOOOWEEEEEEEE!!!, Bubba has outdone hisself on that one!! With my limited knowledge, I'll throw a stab at it----- Yes, it is a trailer of the M-221 family and does look to be the M-7 Generator trailer, these have a fixed tongue and the four screw style leveling jacks through the...

THAT is fantastic! What engine does it have?? Jim

Motor mounts??

Congrats on the truck. And getting the title that is in your Grandad's name is priceless!! My two cents worth----If the truck is a long way from home you may just want to fold/pickup everything manually and transport. Then things tend to go easier at home base while trying to free up engines...

Yes, nice truck and welcome to the site from Salmon River Country! And yes, Ferro's statement is a thinly veiled warning and it rings true -----------------there WILL be more, LOTS more. Come with us to the OD side-------------!!! Jim

Now, if I could just sell the Girl Friend on that idea, I would not be is so much hot water around here---------------!! Jim

Sheesh! Somebody please remind me to never throw anything away!! I just emptied my messages file so I can't go back and see what exactly was said during my contact with the OP. Anyway, since I am close and have access to a lowboy, I contacted the guy about buying the jammer. He said he had it...

A "pork Chop" is a small but VERY useful tool when working with large truck lug(bud) nuts The large end goes around the outer nut- the "hook" end gets placed in a hand hold and then use the square socket to run the nut of the "thimble". Just remember to reverse the air gun----. Once you get...

Heh, Heh, I'm in so much trouble around here---if I tried that ,my GF would grease the top of my head with the wrench. Welcome , nice trucks and she will get over it and understand eventually----or maybe not---------------------- Jim

OK!! I am not familiar with the 923 series of trucks but do have lots of experience with large commercial trucks. If (I assume they are) equipped with standard,modern air brakes, then release the park brake (push in knob on the dash). Have someone listen at the corner in question--if there...

There is another you tube clip submitted by the same person "Topcameraman", titled "B17 1944 Being towed at Podington base Bedfordshire UK WW2" that shows two cletracs side by side pulling a B17. Jim

I bought my gasser in 2008 from the local Fire Dept. Was REALLY disapointed it was not a multi fuel.REEALLY wanted a multifuel. Had all the visions of burning vegie oil or waste oil to save money on driving costs. Even bought a Multi engine in a can to put in it. Well---reality took over...

There is a great video on you tube --"Aerial Crop Dusting: Australia". It shows the action from all angles-- I will try to post the link--if I can't make it work maybe someone more computer savvy can get it on here. If you like Ag aircraft or are curious-this video is a must see!

Ditto what DH says , BUT usually the rubber becomes stuck to the sheet metal of the cab. An important step is to take a plastic stick (any glass shop would probly give you some) and slide it along between the rubber and the sheet metal to insure it's unstuck. Then take the stick and make sure...

Dang it, if only I could read and---do that arithmetic stuff------ Jim

Well here is an update on the ol' girl---- not good. I noticed Denny (the owner) putzing around the crane yesterday--then later I saw it was gone from the highway and moved over to his shop (under it's own power). Then I bumped into him at the parts place in town----- He said tommorrow...

I was browsing the local Craigslist for any MV's (yeah, that's it, that's the ticket!) and ran across this add for a Toyota pickup. Having been and still am a Toyota owner, I thought I'd click on it to see what was offered for 1000.00 bucks--hey maybe I could use it for MVrecon and parts...

Cool project! My 1957 Utica-Bend is stil powered by the gas engine--what is your serial number? Jim
