Historic vehicle registration is the way to go. Take to DMV: 1. Title 2. Three pictures of the truck's numbers. Doesn't matter where the numbers are, as long as they're painted-on in contrasting color. I use one inside each door & one inside tool box door. 3. Inspection form signed by STATE...

Is the MEP-018 A a good choice for emergency power? Does it put out single phase for residential use? Info and suggestions appreciated.

Good for you!

Deuces, original 900-20 duals or single 1100s, don't damage the asphalt outside my shop. The M813 with 1400-20 Michelins is a different story. Left parked in a sunny area for several days, the tires sunk about 3/8 of an inch into the blacktop. PITA, as the wheels on my creeper catch in the...

If you don't want it, I'll buy it!

I had to use a torch on mine. I used oxy/acetylene with a small tip & heated a small area real quick. Bearing popped off pretty easily. I then spent over 2 hours using emery cloth to remove the the residue from the bearing, fused to the spindle. That stuff was HARD!

Somewhere, I have some pictures my Dad took on Iwo. Marines weren't supposed to have personal cameras, but Dad took one from a Jap who no longer needed it. He got a Navy photographer to develop the negatives, then had them printed when he got home. He turned 21 on Iwo. I turned 21 in 'Nam. He...

Welcome to the site! I've been on here for about 5 years & still have more questions than answers. But I've sure gotten a lot of opinions! Eric Knox, IN

I believe Carl has it exactly right.

Dip a piece of cardboard in it & hold it to a flame. If it burns, it's fuel! My trucks love that kind of stuff. I do filter to 1 micron though.

Thanks for the info! I'll keep them in mind to do mine. Eric

What local tire shop agreed to do them? Did they quote a price? I'm just south of you in Knox. Thanks, Eric

Ditto!

Interesting. I checked with Saturn early on, & they said they didn't have any.

I tried contacting Gene through "truks@cs.quik.com", which I found with a Google search. Came back "user unknown". Still looking for pins. Anyone with a source they will share? Or if you have just a few to sell, PM me please. I wonder how the shear strength of brass would compare to aluminum...

There has been a LOT of discussion on shear pins. Most of it fairly old. I need to get some, and I'm wondering if anyone has found any recently, that appear to be the "correct" aluminum pins. Thanks! Eric

I'm sure you're right, but it sure looks like a Mule to me!

Found this in an April 1945 Popular Mechanics magazine! I thought the Mule was a 1960's design.

I went up to Ted's & picked up a few things last winter. Nice friendly guy with really good prices.
