Who is the next scheduled driver? I heard there is quite a long waiting list. I guess I don't need to drive it. On the Marengo trip, I realized the seat was woefully inadequate. I bought a pair of humvee seats. The driver side cam with a base, but its not a springer. (has a spring, but only helps on height adjustment). I am in the process of making the humvee seat fit the original springer base on the 932.
If the 900 has the same springer base as the deuce, I have a super simple way of mounting the HMMWV seat. The deuce I just sold has one that I installed.

I had the same thing happen to my 915 on the way back from GA last year- spring inside one cylinder had broken, and wouldn't release the brake all the way.

What a junker!

Yeah Steve, without a trailer, they are aweful. With an empty one, they are somewhat tolerable. With a loaded trailer, they behave themselves.:driver:

It's a different base Kenny.

I am gonna maqke it work with 2 pieces of 4"x14" flat stock. The mounting holes on the HMMWV seat are completely outside the springer base.

Gimp must have called DH right after I talked to him. Told him about the slack adjuster, but I don't have a lot of experience with them. And said DH would know!

The tow truck just got to the house with the melted puddle that was your 915. Maybe we can get pictures this afternoon when Ziggy picks up his stuff.

Don't get in a hurry to see pics, it will only make you sad.

Here's the pic Gimpy sent to my phone, after the second time they had to pull over from the smoke.
