There was dried-out Foxtail grass everywhere, and I got most of it soaked on the leeward side of the fence so it wouldn't burn thru before the VFD arrived.

I fired up the old girl in a hurry and got her out of the path of this brushfire we had last Friday. It came right up to our fenceline, luckily I had enough time to get some water on that area so it didn't cross. All told, it burned almost a hundred acres of nearby desert, but no structures...

Mounted up a good 14.00-20 AT-2A on a new wheel, new tube & flap. 5 hours for that job, including modding the wheel. The price one pays when you get a flat whilst going down the road at 20 MPH...

Shredded a front tire on my M54A1 in slow driving around the property. It split, giving a hiss hiss hiss. By the time I got it where I wanted it, the entire carcass was in pieces. Luckily I have a fresh Goodyear AT-2 14.00-20 to replace it with. Still, a royal pain in the ass.

He doesn't empty it until a few days go by. By then, they are all dead.

My neighbor wears a beekeeper suit and uses a shop vac to just suck them up. Works dandy.

No, as the provision is written into the DMV instructions covering the licensing for Historic Vehicles. One has to have at least the minimum insurance provided on it, but that isn't really a problem either since the state doesn't have a "no way" attitude in titles and registration to begin with.

I welded mine out of large car wheels and heavy steel 3" pipe, with a chunk of channel on top to support the frame. They do not adjust, that is what the big jack is for.

Got the plates renewed on the M54A1. $64 for 5 years. Arizona is the deal for historic vehicle plates: No CDL, no weight fee, no DOT crap.

Not that I did that this week, but I did find this old photo today. The old girl is hauling panels of 1" thick Maple flooring panels I cut from the floor of a remodeled Scottsdale gym. I did 4 loads like this, if anyone needs 60-year old tongue & groove... Each one weighs in @ 1,500lbs. DG

I had changed fuel filters on my M54A1, and she was running a little rough. Probably some crap dislodged in the process. Poured a pint of Superzilla in the tank, and in 5 minutes run time, it smoothed out just fine. Quit smoking so much, too. I was skeptical about this juice, but it does say...

My M54A1 got a NOS radiator, a better alternator, several hydraulic hoses. A complete brake job and new front axle boots is next. DG
