    To buy or not to buy? M211

    Look at your fuel pump. Is it 12 volt wired off just 1 battery? You could do the same with the stereo. Start with the boat tank and get the fuel pump below the tank, but close to the tank. They suck poorly and push fuel slightly better. I suspect it loads up due to a carb issue, think of the...

    OK. I'm gonna PM you my phone number. Call me if you have questions. I'm 17 miles from Winona and know where to find anything you need. The front axle has a sprauge clutch like a starter drive does. 6% slippage and it works itself. The lever in the floor is engage (up) and disengage (down)...

Watch for farmers scrapping those trucks. you may be able to get the data plate and title. It would be useful to have...

    To buy or not to buy? M211

    I think he may have had a trans/transfercase and then the original transfercase. So he may have had 2 transfercases and was running rice and cane tractor tires that were as tall as I am. I appreciate the fact you are willing to keep the original engine and trans. I just finished my trip home...
