If the pure veggie oil were cheaper per BTU than diesel, it would be great, but I think it's more costly. I'm all for using renewable resources but we should get away from corn for oil if we can and use maybe sugar cane because it makes more oil. There's alot of politics involved in that. About...

Hey Recovry that trailer with the generators looks really sweet on the back of the deuce.

The places should be there in the dash, maybe it could be done so you use the civvy guages and senders for temp, oil pressure, voltage on the low side, and use the 12V to run those. you could use another 12V guage to monitor the high side 12V, so that way you could check the alternators...

Looks like it just needs alot of little things and some TLC. Hardtop is a real plus! Please keep us updates as you work with it!

Cool! Ok I suppose Shirley want stoo much, but someone must be buying them, or perhaps he has no pressure at all to sell anything. Is that a WWII German marking on the 5-ton's air cleaner at the other location?

OOhh... Xantrex... :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: Xantrex (formerly Trace?) is the king of inverters.

The 5MPH is worth it, at least the slight reduction of RPM at 55 is a good thing too.

Those pictures and drawings are amazing. It's all coming down to time and material, as far as people saying they want to do something, and actually doing it or not. I need some money so i can do these things: 1. buy that bobbed deuce and a towbar to drag it home (or, just drive it if i am that...

I use a cheap 5000LB roll-around floor jack from wal-mart. soon as the axle is high enough, I put in the jack stand.

OK, so you did ask.. Executive summary: Warning: The buy it now price is too high. Bid carefully. Perhaps $150 would be a good deal cosidering it is surplus and not really new. warning: A high probability exists that it is not every last thing that is claimed to be, but rather, a basic...

It might make a nice trailer for someone with a 10-ton, since the wheels seem to be there.

On FTX, sleeping in the barracks. One Troop, a PVT, had ridden with me to the training. After being woke up several times during the night (I thought I was just waking up by myself) I had got no sleep. Seems unbeknownst to me the Troop had thought I was snoring too loud and kept getting up and...

That's cheap enough! how much power?

Be careful with old-skool flourescents, monitor the temperature of the ballasts. The electronic balasts may be ok but the inductive ones can be problematic since they have a certain impedance and reactance depending on the power line frequency. The inductance in series with the lamp is to limit...

I also put civvy batteries in. To make up the space, I laid some PVC pipe in the bottom of the box to make up the right and left space and keep terminals from touching the metal box. been just fine! Have not had an issue front to back movement but probably should deal with it, and I apologize...

Wow! that is beautiful, and I understand.. perhaps a word about tire speeds and tire models.. Being kind of a fun loving driver, and knowing that a 46.6" tire should give the user 68MPH vs the 55MPH of the 9.00x20 (or let the engine purr at 2100RPM for 55MPH), I have been looking up tires...

Grossepapa used to put some water in the tubes on the 3 ton farm truck. Of course he ran the most awful tires till they were mismatched, patched, and worn out. About the rims, how about removing the center, widening the rim, then putting the center back in an appropriate position for correct...

hmm.. seller has no prior history seller can't spell and types in all caps with alot of words that don''t say much. suspiciously the front tires are intact when the rest of the front is toasted to the point of melted aluminum the price is so high no one will bid, but he's accepting offers...

The longbed is the way to go.. you could even put a quiet diesel set and spare tire with small crane/hiost in front of the shelter and have a shorter balcony..

wow you guys had fun! I like the wheels on that generator set. Must make it easy to move outdoors.
