David, there is one M50 in the yard where I am. Just some left overs, but I'll check the numbers tomorrow.

Wow! You guys are the best! I have been here in Oklahoma for almost a week now, working the old cranetruck to death. Lots of little jobs on a site being cleared of all MV's. I'm staying with Charley Bell and his wife while we prepare the XM757 for the trip to Virginia. Got the homemade bed and...

Jason, I'll spend the night near OK City for a possible meeting with M1075 tomorrow. I'll contact him tonight. If you still want to get together for a visit at the junk yard, I guess tomorrow is the day. More later and thanks for the oil filter offer, if I can't find them later today (NAPA...

After a fun filled couple of days with Jon (although I can't say the people at Barstow truck parts were particulairly interested in selling small parts), I'm now on my way back home. I'll ellaborate on the visit with Jon later,since this is costing a bit of money. The touch screen wastes a lot...

Devin, PM me directions and I'll be at your house late morning tomorrow. Want to see Jon in Hesperia later in the day so we can visit Walker's surplus yard. Will and Gary, got the generator installed with new belts and it's charging just fine. Thanks!

RE: teaching For next post , see "What, me worry?" thread.

Gary (polverone) delivered the generator from Will late this afternoon and also a decal he made up. I thought it was fitting after the events during the past weeks. :-) Thanks Gary! The generator will be installed tomorrow and as a consequence, my departure from Ventura is delayed another day...

RE: baby HEMTT update Always good to see progress! I see that the "oil caning" problem of the deck in the foreground is persisting. How is the steering linkage coming along? Say hello to Cole. Thanks again for your time and help! Zero oil leak from the bellhousing vent and the hydraulic line...

RE: Brakes Check the airpak vent line before doing something drastic, it vents together with the MC and fuel tank into the crankcase breather vent....

Got lots of pictures to sort out and you bet I'll post them as soon as I can do it. It turns out that the "mishaps" have made this trip so much more rewarding and it's not over yet, Greg will bring a new generator from Will Wagner tomorrow. Who knows what will be next.

Posted response under "Cranetruck in Ventura.." Don't be surprised if you see "What, me worry?" stenciled on the back of my deuce. :-).....

RE: Putting Straight Vegetable Oil Directing into Tank of M I have burned nearly 250 gallons of biodiesel and used veggie oil during my cross country trip, sometimes up to 80 % veggie oil. The fuel gets heated up during use (by warm return fuel) and will reach 120 °F without any additional...

RE: teaching LOL, yeah Kenny, when you sleep in the deuce for a certain number of days, that beard saves on morning routines. Chris, I'll keep my eyes open for the M756 parts for sure, I need some bed sides myself. News flash: The list is again working overtime to help out. An occasional...

RE: teaching Blake, she wanted to spend some time with her sister here and found an art teacher opening in Ventura. Applied and got a one-year contract to teach at the Anacapa middle school. I'm just bringing her books and stuff (tons of it it seems. :-))

Hope to see you later today Gary. Not typical California weather here with a light drizzle/fog this morning, but will change my generator belts later. Here are two more images, Devin's visit and my visit to my wife's school (she demanded that I bring the deuce there). Lots of fun actually, and...

Yes wreckerman, bio/wvo will be in the tank. I have had offers for used veggie oil , but timing has been a big problem. A couple from the greasecar.com forum has offered filtered used VO if/when I drive by Victorville, CA and again, if the time is right, I'll swing by and see them. They wanted...

Wade, I do plan to stop by at the surplus yard in Barstow, let me know what you are looking for. My own shopping list includes in-tank fuel pump(s) and bed sides for the pipeline construction bed. Ken, the return route will be I-40 and Oklahoma City is still on the list of destinations.

Here are a few more images...

I'll be here a couple of days helping my brother in law to build a privacy fence... Devin (Djfreema) stopped by yesterday in his deuce with his young daughter. It was great fun with two deuces on the street here and the crane was used as a swing for the kids. :-) There were a lot of pictures...

RE: Bjorn, back on the road again. 3,300 miles later, arrived in Ventura, CA at 1045 hrs this morning. I'll be here until Monday afternoon at least. If any of you fellows living in this parts of the world, would like to stop by, the address here is: 371 South Wake Forest Ave, Ventura, CA 93003...
