    Checking on getting some military oriented air fresheners. Need input.

    I have been thinking of doing this for years. There are certain smells or scents that really bring back my military service. I see it when I take my deuce to regular car shows and the vets smell the canvas. It really seems to take them back to another time. I love the smell of the canvas. I also...

    Help with M925 pneumatic electric brake controller installation.

    Hi Gimpy. You know I will be there. I traded the HMMWV for a halftrack. It will not make it to Findley this year but will next year. The trailer stuff is go haul the track. I need to pull the injectors on the five ton before I start using it for the tow vehicle. Right now my F350 and Deuce will...

    Help with M925 pneumatic electric brake controller installation.

    I am not using 12 volts for the trailer lights. Only the trailer brakes so using the pneumatic controller eliminates using any relays and gives a more accurate proportional brake control than the electric on or off triggering of the electric controllers. I am using 12v-24v led lights on the...

    Help with M925 pneumatic electric brake controller installation.

    I have a need to pull an electric brake equipment trailer. I am using a pneumatic controller that is actuated by tying it into the brake circuit. I then plan to run the 12 volt trailer on an independent battery. Basically I need to know where to tap for the line to the controller. Hydraulic is...

    CDL required to drive 5 ton?

    This should be a forum topic by itself it comes up so much. Commercial Driver's License CDL. Think about it or search for one of my many responses from years past. Some states (California) have different classes of private driver's licenses but if you are not operating commercially you do not...

    Need input on M108 purchase

    I do not have an old enough -10. What is the capacity of the hydraulic system for the crane? Anyone?

    Need input on M108 purchase

    I did some work to the M108 and fixed the worst hydraulic leak. It was the return hose for the winch motor. At least that is what I figured it was. It was the 1/2 inch line going from the inside of the hydraulic motor back to the center pivot of the crane. I found it off the shelf at tractor...

    Michigan M923/925 Owners Question

    Putting "Not For Hire" on the side is not enough. If you are using it in any way to make money you would be engaged in commerce and need the CDL and everything that goes with it. If you use it to move stuff to a swap meet you are technically engaged in commerce. I do not know of many LEO's that...

    Michigan M923/925 Owners Question

    Refer to my many other threads from a few years ago. The PDF above is intended for commercial operators. YOU DO NOT NEED A CDL IF YOU ARE NOT ENGAGED IN COMMERCE. You are not engaged in commerce if you are using it to drive or move your stuff. For those that do not know, I am an LEO. Again, do a...

    Need length of cable (wire rope) on the M108 crane

    I need to replace the cable on the M108 crane. Mine is in rough shape and I am certain it has been shortened. Anyone have an idea of length? Also, what is the best place to get cable? Tractor supply has the right size but it is a fiber core and lifting cable should be not be fiber core. Thanks...

    Need input on M108 purchase

    I will put in a multifuel at some point when I find a good parts truck. I spent a few hours pressure washing 20 years of compost from the guy parking it in the woods. It looks better now but the rust did not wash off. I will need a cab and doors at least along with some fenders. The electrical...
