    Question on front landing leg on my M105a2

    definately the two wheeled design... think loading per square inch. I've seen the singles sink into hot blacktop when we had them loaded with 155mm Willy Peter shells.

    Heated fuel tank project, biodiesel, WVO..

    I heard some funny information on running veggie oil. You have to pre-heat it to above 160 degrees f before it can be run through your injection pump and have low enough viscosity to be ignited. I can see two things - ok so maybe that is true for the pump's sake, but how about heat exchange...

    Question on front landing leg on my M105a2

    The duals are more commonly used. Do you have a back leg too? Those are helpful for loading when you're not attached to the tractor. I've had one tip back in 1995 and it was ugly.

    Interesting Trailer on Ebay

    OH MY GAWD! That fellow is nuts. You can buy an assortment of M series trailers, with canvas and bows from an assortment of dealers FOR WAYYYYYY less than $500.00 each. He's making a killing. (note: there are a couple on ebay I saw this weekend barely budding past $300; I saw quite a few on GL...

    Who needs a big winch?

    I can score 1 more 20K winch and cable / chain (only) for $750 plus shipping (likely $120 to denver). It's in Wyoming - I have photos. Complete kit with levers is usually around $1200-1500, so that is an average to high price. Just thought I'd toss that out.

    Anyone know who made the LDT turbo? How about bore x stroke

    OK... well here is the information I have so far, I just wanted to share, since it is almost non-existant on the web. The turbo is a Schwitzer (correct spelling) (A.K.A. comapny name "KKK turbo" also owned by Borg Warner) model 3LM on the whistler and model 3LJ on the older models. It is VERY...

    Anyone know who made the LDT turbo? How about bore x stroke

    I'm looking for a mfr. and model # if you have it. I've searched endlessly through the net and the TMs. Looking at the boost and how it was set up, I thought it was a 50 trim garrett, but it is far larger than that, although the compressor map is a likely fit. ++++++++ I'm also looking for...

    Deuce original cost?

    Close to $120,000 by today's standards.

    Local Forums?

    Wondering about the likelyhood of creating local forums, like mountain, east coast, west coast, central, and so forth. That would help members here get together with other members and set up mini-meets or whatever. I also created a cool logo for the site, if you want to use it, LMK. It is...

    Troubles with M35A2

    Another thought on this was from my friend that is still Active Duty. He mentioned to check the electrolyte levels, check the alternator's field coil for constantly being powered (suggests a bad "ignition" switch), and if you have a non-sealed battery, look into the fill holes with a flashlight...
