Ditto for Jon's post. Power steering probably helped a lot and, question, do you run those tires with or without inner tubes?

Cucvfan, three spaces is just right for a deuce plus M105 trailer...

Correct, the hose is a 2" one. Check the hose clamps for tightness, it needs to be done from time to time.

Glad you had understanding and patient people to work with! I chained my axle too as an expedient. This happend a couple of weeks ago towing the 8x8. Thanks to the K-boom, it was a one-man operation, though.

Keep an eye on the "Road trip OCT 22 through NOV 05" thread, if Patrick gets there, he may be able to help.

Here are the directions. Don't know where Howard's is in relation to Bancroft along rt 189, but it's at mile marker 6 on the left. The house is actually before you get to MM6, but there is no parking there.

Patrick, if you have the time, go ahead and go up to Greenville, I'll post local directions before lunch today unless sombody else beats me to it. Got them filed away and have to dig a little. Directions are easy to follow. Also, on your way East from Greenville, drive on to Charleston, WV and...

Jason is good, he broke down four 1100's and mounted four new tires for me during my visit a while back. Only took him a couple of hours...

So this is an opacity test only, nothing about pollutants, NOX etc, perhaps too complicated a test. Thanks for the info!

If you know who or which company buys the scrap, you may be able to but it from them at scrap prices. Just a thought. Don't think they will take fuel tanks either.

This is what we need.

RE: Intank fuel pump Perhaps Howard's (Buddy's) in Kentucke is a good source? Check with whoever is going there. http://steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=72743

To check the fuel cut-off mechanism, remove the cover (first image). The control cable comes with it and you will be able to check the movement of the lever with your fingers. Had a problem with just this thing on my cross country trip after we replaced the hydraulic head. The lever was to...

Good lift Kenny, you should have your yard "cleaned up" in no time. Know about those overhead wires, ran into them on my last visit, one is awfully low, maybe 12-13 feet above ground as I recall. If you continue to make these lifts one day you'll forget them. Perhaps time to get them up a bit. :-)

Here is a perfect side tour for you Patrick, Howard's (Now Buddy's) in Greenville, only about 250 miles away from Memphis. Spend a day there, take "orders" from forum members, bring the stuff to me for shipping further South or East later.

Just experienced this same scenario in Oklahoma, the collecter passes away and the collection goes to the scrapper. If you have the time, go there, you may be able to get what you need for local scrap prices...a deuce for $400.. The scrap yard in Oklahoma City stopped taking the trucks whole...

Looks like you covered a good bit of distance on your first day. Are you heading straight for Virginia or are you making any stops before? At your rate, you'll be here before the weekend. I may have the cable you need, twisted shielded pair w/teflon jacket....

See, it floats. :-)

That's the M656, my first choice since it actually "swims" when everything is up to par. Equipped with a watertight cargo bay and pressurized door seals. It comes complete with bilge pumps! Here are two more images.

How much did that set you back, the head in particular?
